Charmaine: Kev, will you marry me?
Kevin: ????
Charmaine: I said would you marry me?
Kevin: ????
He had just opened the door for her into his house, she was planning to move in with him when they came back from the holiday, but out of no where she had asked him that question. He didn't know how to respond. In normal circumstance it would have been him to ask her to marry him, and of course he had been tempted to ask that question a multi million times througout their time togetehr during the holidays. He wanted to say 'yes, of course i am willing to marry you', but somehow he couldn't. He felt that he was dreaming, is the girl of his dreams really asking whether he would marry him?
She stood there contemplating what had happen in Raymond's house, she had mixed feelings for him. She had though that she would hate him for what he had done to her, he had played her throughout their time together and she had lost herself trying to recover from the whole thing. But there was a small part of her that recognise his smell, his touch, his lips. There was a part of her that lingered onto what happened just now in his house. Instead of telling him off and moving on with her life, she had gone backwards. This was when Kevin opened the door and she blurted out the question. She didnt know why she said it. All she knew was that it was time to move on. Her life forward is with Kevin not Raymond. She needs to get away from the shadow of her formal self.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They had had passionate sex afterwards, she wanted to feel him and she needed to have him, but during the night when they were both suppose to be asleep the fire inside her didnt stop burning. The effect of Raymond's kiss had overpowered her beyond her imagination. She couldnt shake away his face, even with Kevin wrapped around her she couldnt stop thinking about him, their time together, their sunset boulevard, their laughter. She though she had recovered but in effect she was just hiding.
But what could she do? She and Kevin are going to get married, he had much to her delight said yes of course, and had afterward said that she had spoiled his romantic getaway plan and proposing to her, but of course he will marry her in a blink of an eye. But somehow deep inside her she was sad, she recognise the feeling, just like when she found out about Ray and Leila, the indescrible pain that goes right through the heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Hi Dad!, we have a good news for you. Me and Charmaine are going to get married'
Of course his dad was beeming with delight, Charmaine is the only women he had ever bought to meet his dad and he was finally willing to settle down, much to his delight. But the following events had happened way too fast. Kevin told this news to his dad over dinner in his house, just when Ray and Leila approach with his step mum (Leila's mum) from the entertainment room, they were all laughing at Ray who apparently did miserably in a dancing game. (which was wierd because when she first met him he could dance like michael jackson).
Kevin's dad: Hey Darling have you heard Kev and Charmaine are going to get married.
Somehow this news piece through Raymond's heart more painful then any heart surgery ever did. Leila looked across at Raymond and could see that he had gone pale, Leila promptly taking the hint and wanted to excuse both of them, and when Charmaine stopped them and asked her about good honeymoon places since she and Raymond has already went on theirs.
At this moment hell broke lose, everybody turned to Charmaine then to Leila.
Leila's mum: girl you are married to who?
Charmaine: To Ray of course? Didnt you know?
Kevin: Charmaine i think you must have been mistaken these two are nothing more then buddies.
Leila's mum: Yeah, no way would my precious daughter not tell me if she is married. Plus with Raymond no way! Where did you get that idea from?
At that moment Charmaine's mind just went blank, she had seen them in the house, the photos the clothes, what he said that she was the only one ever. She had heard the guard say that they were on their honeymoon, the guard had called them Mr and Mrs Lam. Suddenly she felt really sick, by now both of them had sat down on the table. Then she realised that they might be hidding their romance from everybody. Yes that must be it. Then she realised for the first time only Leila had a ring on her finger, Raymond didn't!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
bbrrrrr brrrr..... 'Meet you at the pier at midnight. You owe me an explanation. And i would be coming alone, i hope you do so too.'
He knew he shouldn't be going, but he couldnt resist seeing her again, the dinner was a torture, but he and Leila didnt know what to do apart from avoiding her gaze, meanwhile Kevin sensed that something was wrong but had to keep up the upbeat mode with his dad, and of course Leila's mum was busy chatting with her and warning her to never ever dare get herself married off without her permission for she would kill her instantly. (It could have been comical but he could sense that Charmaine was in deep pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Charmaine: you are early
Raymond: Yeah, just a bit, habit i guess.
Silence.......
Raymond: CONGRATULATIONS (TRYING TO FAKE A REALLY BIG SMILE)
Charmaine turns around and walks towards the pier and leans over the railing, the moon was bright and glowing.
Ray, let me tell you a story, about a year ago there was this girl who had just been headhunted to work back in HK, during her flight back home, it meet extreme trubulance and a pilot told her to keep her cool because he knew that his mentor would be able to get through it no matter how bad the weather was. The flight landed safely and they went seperate ways. 2 weeks later both of them met each other in a bookstore, maybe that was fate. They started going out and had a beautiful 6 months until things change all of a sudden, she caught him having an affair with another women. Then before she could get an answer the guy dissapeared, leaving no trace of whom he was or where he could be. For the next two months she tortured herself with all the alcohol she could drink and all the drugs she could lay her hands on. From a top class head hunted lawyer she dropped t nothing more then a drug addict to numb her heart and brain. Thank god she finally woke up. She had not anticipated to go into a relationship with another men so soon, but an angel came and saved her. He brought her light and peace and love once again. They had decided to get married. But then the girl found out that the first guy could not have cheated on her in the first place. What do you think the girl should do?
Raymond had no answer.
I think you owe me at the minimal an explanation.
Raymond stayed silent. He didn't know to say or what to do. He desperately wanted to tell her everything but remembered that his heart was far from fit and that Kevin would provide a way better life for her. Togerther with her he stared out into the ocean.
Charmaine its my turn to tell you a story. Once upon a time there was this boy, who was really mischeavious and could acheive nothin in his life. He and his brother was orphaned at a really yound age. He skipped school often and barely graduated from his piloting school, he started seeing the world as it was until one day he meet the love of his life in a bookstore. But god decided that maybe this kid has not done enough to deserve her and this was when he had to go away. He is sorry that he has cast so much pain of the girl and if he could he is willing to take all of those pain away in replace of his own happiness. But luckily the girl has since then found happiness and he feels happy for her. Its fate that they are not meant to be together. Now both of their lifes are no longer intertwined. With that he walked away
In the end Charmaine didnt get the answer she was looking for, but she let him leaved. At least she now knew that their love was true. But she had moved on. Raymond was the past, only Kevin was the future.
