Chapter 8: Raidan -
"Are you one hundred percent serious about this whole marriage thing?" she said, her eyes are locked up with mine.
I know she is trying to see through me, my intentions. To be honest, if it was that day, I might have looked away. Cause everything I had said that day, was unintentional. But these past few days I've thought over it. And now I was sure that, I would marry her right away if she says yes. So, I wasn't afraid of her seeing through me.
"Yes, I'm one hundred percent sure", I said looking right into her eyes.
Well, today I couldn't take my eyes away from her even if I wanted. Because she had worn a violet dress , a pink puff sleeve short sweater , a cute bunny cap and double color (violet and pink) stockings. She looked gorgeous in them. It was hard for me to take my eyes off her, especially when her black long hair was blowing with the wind. And her brown and black bangs they looked as cute as ever , when they rested over her rose pink forehead. Her orchid colored lips were looking beyond alluring. And her brown eyes, my gosh!! I've always fallen for those eyes.
She stared at me with those beautiful brown sparkling eyes.
"When will you divorce me?" I was shocked as those words left her mouth.
"Divorce? Why would I divorce you?" I said, looking confused.
"What? You don't plan on divorcing me, after everything's done?" she said, calm and still trying to see through me.
"I think you have some misunderstandings about me. If we get married, why would I divorce you? To me marrige is a big thing. And I don't think of divorce. I think of forever being together". I said my actual point of view of marriage.
I don't understand why everybody thinks that I'll divorce her after a few years.
"Ok, so you won't divorce me?" she made it sound like a question.
"We won't get divorce until you want to. I'll be the one to starting this relationship with you, if you agree, and it's ending, it'll depend on you", I said.
She stared at me for a while before asking another question, "Ok.... But what makes you think I'm the one?" she said, looking clueless.
It's funny how she and M both had the same question. Now I know why M hates her. Cause both of them have same mentality, and he hates to have something in common with someone else. Well, I'm an exception though.
As for what makes her the One. Well, I've been watching her for a long time. When I was thirteen, I had a dream, of us, of that waiting room, of me falling in love with her at first sight. Eventhough I had never given much thought about it, but I could never forget her due to my super memory. Because of this memory I always remember everything, I can never forget anything even if I want to. And maybe because of that I would always think of her whenever I'm bored or I'm down. And then I didn't even realize when she, I mean that dream of ours became my safespace. Every time I am angry or upset or fed up with everyone and everything, my mind will eventually travel to that memory of ours. And then in an instant everything would seem better, more comfortable. And since then I knew that she is the one. I've been looking for her since then in my mind.
It was then when I had seen her in the waiting room, I realized my dream coming true. And talking with her was probably the most amusing thing I had done so far. I've seen her innocence and for who she is, is enough for me to know that she is 'The One' for me.
"What would you like for drink? What's your favorite?" I asked attempting to change the topic.
"Not my favorite but since it's a tradition place, I wanna drink something traditional. Maybe the breakfast tea or EARL GREY TEA . The later one sounds better actually", she said looking through the menu for a while.
When the waiter came we ordered two EARL GREY TEA with plant milk and tea sandwiches and clotted cream biscuits.
She took out a file from her laptop bag while we waited for the food. She crossed a few lines and then gave me the file.
"If you can sign it , I'll agree to your proposal," she said looking at me with a skewed frown. She was unsure about what I'll do.
I couldn't help but smile, thinking how similar our thoughts were. She had made a contact and I had made a contract too. But the only difference between both contracts were, her contract ensured both our rights and mine ensured only hers. Well, it was just like her, always playing fair.
"Why are you smiling? Federal rights exercise, I study law. How can I not ensure my rights..?? What if you divorce me a year later? Which you said you won't do... But still words can't be trusted", she said swallowing, and as I looked at her, she quickly added, "Don't think I did you wrong. All the conditions here are fair enough for both of us".
"That's right. But you don't study law", I said, trying to be funny.
"I don't study law but I do take law class so, I know a little bit of law", she said making her point.
"Women right act 1964 ... Impressive!! But what is this? Why have you added separation in here? And what rethink?"
I said being shocked as I read half of the first page. She had said that, ' in violation of any rules we were free to rethink our decision. Which I clearly didn't like. There were 11 rules and 2 questions in that 2 page contract. And she was party A and I was party B. I didn't say anything about it though. My gosh, I'm already ready to accept whatever she does, I'm sure that she is going to be the death of me.
"Well, I didn't know what you have in mind about this whole thing, that's why I added it", she said in a low voice.
"Listen, apart from the marked rules, if you want we can negotiate the other rules", she added.
"I don't want a negotiation , but I want to add a rule 'No divorce within a year', I'll sign this contract right away if you add that", I said putting forward my condition. Because I was afraid that she would run away.
"Ok done", she said and in a second she took the file from me and added the rule. She said rules, but these were conditions actually. And after adding my condition there were 12 conditions now.
"Now answer those questions and sign the contract and I'll do it too right infront of you", she said pointing towards the questions below the rules.
"Is it a real marrige, like the other normal people?" I read the question out loud before I continued,
"Of course it is. It'll be like any other marrige, Lam let me tell you clearly, I don't have any intention of having lots of wives or tons of girls in my life. One will be enough for me. And also I'm not only asking you to marry me.... I'm asking for a lifetime company, got it?" I told her.
"Yeah, I get it," she paused for a while before continuing "I also don't treat marrige like a game. To me it's 'once in a lifetime thing'. And I never wanted tons of guys in my life, cause if I did, I would already have many men in my life", she clarified.
She is blushing. Her cheeks look as red as tomato. I couldn't help but blush too. Why does she looks so cute all the time?
