"Kath, where are you?"

My friend Jessa immediately asked, when I answered my phone because I was currently in the taxi.

"I'll be right back. Just wait, wait, why do you seem to be in a hurry? Don't say you're excited now because you're getting married?"  I laughed at the answer on the other line.

"Ha? A-a, what is it? Just hurry up and I'll explain to you later."

She answered and the conversation end, I just shook and wondered what she would explain to me.  Today she is married to a billionaire, I haven't met him yet because I'm busy looking for a job and money also.  Jessa is a model in another country and now she plans to be here in the Philippines. Even though we were far apart in life, that did not hinder our friendship.

She is a model because of her height of five-seven, I am only five-four.  She invited me then but I refused shyly because I don't have confidence.

Hays!  Why am I so nervous all of a sudden?

I was seen in front of the taxi because there was no traffic because she took me to fix her. After all, I refused to be her maid of honor because it was not the wedding of two lovers.  It's just for money, I found out because Jessa suddenly told me she was getting married.  But there is an agreement, after two months they will divorce as long as the man gets his inheritance from his grandfather.

Hays!  Is that really how the rich are?  Do they have to pay a woman just to get married?

I was stunned by my thoughts as the taxi stopped at a famous hotel where my friend had checked in.  As I was walking and I called Jessa, she immediately answered her phone.

"Kath, where are you now?"  It's a quick question.

"Wait I'm still here in the lobby, what's the room number?" I asked while waiting for the elevator to open.  After she said the number I turned off my phone.

I didn't have a hard time finding the number, when I opened it I immediately saw Jessa, but I was shocked because she wasn't wearing a wedding dress.

"Oh, my gosh! It's good you came, I thought you weren't coming."  It immediately hugged me.

"W-Wait a minute, why aren't you wearing a wedding gown? Isn't the wedding over?"  I asked in surprise and she pulled me onto the couch and there we sat side by side.

"Kath, we're friends right?"  Smiling she said and confused I nodded.  "In that case, wear that wedding dress."

I couldn't speak right away because of what she said because it felt hard to load my mind.  Until suddenly I stood up.

"Hey, Jessa. Don't make fun of me like that, you know I don't have any plans to get married right away."  I said loudly to her and she stood up holding my two hands.

"Kath, please. Help me, I know you need money? For your dad, so accept this and two months or maybe it won't take another two months."

I just stared at Jessa and remembered the money she told me.

"All right, just two months, how much will it cost?"  I asked her with a smile.

"One million."  It answered and I seemed deaf.

"W-What? One million?"  I repeated and smiling she nodded.  "Why didn't you immediately say that the fee was so high, where are the wedding dress and I will wear it."  My language is confusing.

"You are my true friend especially for the money."

I turned to Jessa and at the same time we laughed, she helped me put on the wedding dress which was so beautiful and expensive.

"What is it this? My boobs almost popped out here at the very bottom in front of me and then v-shaped in the back. I can't stand it?"  I lowered my tongue as I watched what I was wearing and Jessa laughed.

"What's the matter with you, you're so good at in fairness. Maybe Rade won't complain when she sees someone else she's going to marry."  Jessa said laughing.

"Rade, his name?"  I asked and she nodded.

"You know what? Rade is super handsome? But I have to choose the person I love. I'm going with him to Australia and right now that's it."

My eyes widened because of what she said so she would replace me because she had a plan.

"You're ashamed! You're planning this."  I said and Jessa just laughed, I didn't speak anymore because I knew that's what Jessa chose, because that's what will make her happy.

But I was nervous when Rade found out that she was going to marry someone else.  I just accepted it right away because I need money for my father's surgery, Jessa has helped me a lot, so I don't want her to always come for help, but I said if I really can't do anything I will accept that was her help.

As I walked and covered my face with a veil, I couldn’t help but be nervous too much.  I feel my chest explode with the sheer force of my heartbeat.  Everywhere I go people are looking at me and I don't know anyone here.

It's good that the man's side isn't surprised because the woman doesn't even have a parent to marry.  Can that be?

I thought until I got to the front and a man approached me.  I didn’t expect it to suddenly grab my hand and hold him and at the same time, we walked.  I looked up at him until our eyes met.  I saw the surprise in his eyes but that also changed immediately.

"Where is Jessa, why are you here?"

I heard his question weakly and I felt his grip my hand tightly.  I looked up at him to answer his question.

"Don't answer, it's important for the marriage to continue."  He answered seriously and I could no longer speak.

While in front of the altar and doing the ceremony my mind floated until announced that we were married and fully married.  We faced each other and he lifted my veil as if I wanted to stop him but he didn't lift anything.  I noticed him staring at me so I also couldn't help but not stare at him because it was true what he said that he was handsome but looked rude.

I stopped at the thought of his lips suddenly touching mine and I wasn’t ready for that.

Wair? Is the kiss included?  Then why do I feel... Did I like that kiss?
