The bus that we ride finally stops at the bus stop near the city hall. We get off the bus and go to City hall. In there we are going to marriage registration section. After filling the form, verified, taking photograph and waiting for some hours, finally, our marriage certificate is finished. We hold that certificate together and smiling when our eyes met.
"Ben Ben… are we husband and wife now?"
"Yes Ming Er, aren't you hold the proof in your hand?"
"I still like dreaming…..yesterday I'm just a castaway girl with nobody cares, now I'm a happy wife that standing beside a loving husband….it just feels…too good to be true"
"Should I kiss you to wake you up again?"
She blushing when hearing my teasing, but she replies it splendidly
"I want it, but not here, at our home and not just one kiss, but many kisses"
I'm laughing hearing what she said, this bold and lively version of Ming Er really surprising me.
"Okay, will give you as many as you want at home"
She giggling hearing my answer and make a wide smile that showing her white teeth
"Tee Hee~ I can't wait until we get home. Let's get shopping and go home Ben Ben"
She wrapped her hand around my arms and drags me out from city hall. On our way to the market, we pass by a photo studio and she asks me to make some portraits of us. After making some poses and photographed, some minutes later we already have our photographs done. We also buy some picture frames to display our photos. After that, we continue our way to the market and only stop again on the street peddler that sell dumpling to buy some for lunch.
In the market, Ming Er shows another interesting side of hers. She able to haggle and get lower prices for the ingredient that sold in the market. Especially, when the seller also a woman. She can say something nice and flatter the seller to get a cheaper price. We return to our homes with two big pack groceries in both my hands. After putting the groceries in freezer and shelves, finally, we have a free time to spend. I decide not to open the restaurant since there's nobody ever come to eat anyway, and I want to spend today's time with Ming Er.
Ming Er busied herself by putting the photograph in the photo frames. After all, done, she takes one of the frames and walks to the wall where the picture of the previous owner with his ex-wife displayed.
She stands up in front that picture and asks me
"Ben Ben…can I…?"
"Sure, you're now this house's madame. You can do it"
I know she wants to replace that picture with the new picture of me and her. After she hears what I said, she smiles and before takes the picture off from the wall, she even thanks the picture.
"Sister, although I don't know you, I thank you for let a good man like Ben Ben go and make him take me as his wife. From now on, I will take your part to accompany him in happiness and sadness, in poor and riches together"
After saying that, she put our new picture on the wall. She staring at it quite long, which make me curious which picture she put in there. I'm standing behind her while hugging her slim waist and look what picture she put in there.
It's a picture of us posing me standing behind her hug her waist and we look at each other. I whispering in Ming er ears
"Do you like this picture?"
"I like it very much. I can feel the warmth of your body in my back and the love in your eyes"
"Um. Actually, it can be better, but I'm too shy about posing that"
"How?"
"Like this"
I turn her back so we facing each other. I close my face to her and give her a kiss. She closes her eyes and receives my kiss passionately. After some minutes, we separate our lips and look each other with an affectionate look in our eyes.
"Ben Ben…I also ashamed if someone took our picture like that"
"So let it posing for ourselves only, right?
"Um…ben ben, can you give me more? You said you will give me as many as I like"
"Sure, especially if my lovely wife asks it herself"
And we engage in passionate kisses once again. After we finish kissing, we look at the picture we made today and place it in the place that we can see every day.
