- 15.
Vivida is a top wedding dress brand. Six
months ago, I saw one of their dresses in a
magazine. It was designed by the founder and
it was so beautiful.
Today, I was trying it on.
Kawn Hor and I had made an appointment.
But when we got to the store, they stopped
- us.

The clerk was worried.
“Could you wait for a little bit? There’s a
situation inside.”
Even though she was talking quietly, I could
hear the argument going on inside.
“What the hell is this? Do you think I’m not
good enough to
looking down wear it? You people are
on me!”
A woman was yelling. The clerk tried to calm
her down.
“Ma’am, that dress has already been
reserved…”
“Screw you. Do you think I’m poor or
something?”
<
“Ma’am, if you keep making a scene, we’ll
have to call security.
The voice sounded really familiar.
The next second, security came out with a
cursing woman, that’s when I saw her face.
Mia.
When she saw me, she stopped yelling and
froze.
She had lost a lot of weight, and she looked
so much different than the girl I remember.
If she was here, then who else was here?
A tall figure came out of the store, it was
Liam.
く
He had gotten kind of chubby and was
wearing clothes that didn’t fit. His eyes were
tired. He was nothing like that young
confident kid I once knew.
When we looked at each other, he
instinctively stepped back.
The clerk came over, apologizing.
“Sorry, ma’am: We are so sorry about what
happened. The dress you reserved is inside.
Follow me.”
I nodded and didn’t bother to look at the
other two, and walked inside with Kawn Hor.
The main dress was definitely worth the hype,
I almost forgot how to breath when I stood in
front of the mirror.
I never used the word “stunning” to describe
anything. But, that dress was truly amazing.
“Crash.”
The glass in Kawn Hor’s hand fell on the
floor. His mouth was slightly open.
I smiled and patted his hand.
“Are you speechless?”
“Yeah, I am speechless.”
Kawn Hor’s eyes were starting to get red.
“That’s the one. How could I be so lucky to
be marrying someone like you?”
Ugh, he was being over dramatic. Who said
that engineers weren’t romantic?
Before I could say anything, we were
interrupted by someone yelling.
“Liam, are you crazy? You still like her?”
“Look at you now. No one wants you but me.
Does she even want you?”
“You have to be with me. You’ll die with me!
You owe it to my family!”
Mia was crazy, yelling while she hit Liam.
But Liam didn’t move, he just stared straight
at me and Kawn Hor.
L
Kawn Hor rolled his eyes, and stood in front
of me.
I looked at the clerk.
“Aren’t you going to do something about
this?”
The clerk seemed to wake up and called
security.
The guards tried to drag Mia away, but she lay on the floor.
There were a lot of people that came to
watch the scene.
With an audience, Mia started to yell even
more.

Kawn Hor and I folded our arms, watching the
whole show.
Liam finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Will you stop!”
He kicked Mia’s hand away, and walked away
from everyone.
Mia froze, staring at her hand.
Once the show was over, the crowd slowly
disappeared. Mia was left alone on the floor.
Did she regret picking Liam at that moment?
I don’t know..
All I know is that, people are responsible for
く
their choices.
I grabbed Kawn Hor’s hand, his hands were
warm and big. We had helped each other
throughout the years.
We didn’t have to look up to anyone, and no
one had to chase after the other.
Maybe, the right kind of love was meant to be
this way.
“Okay, that’s
e one
“Let’s go home and you can cook me some
ribs!”
Kawn Hor held my hand. His voice was soft.
“Okay.”
