8 Chapter 8: The Church (1/2)

When Novie's brother asked her to open her eyes, her lips parted.

(What the hell)

she cursed inside while disappointment filled her face,

”A scooter?” she spoke faintly, her brother laughed and pushed her body closer to the motorcycle

It was a dark grey motorcycle with a basket in front; it looked like a bicycle.

”Do you like it?” her brother asked while still laughing.

Novie crinkled her nose and stared at him.

”Why does it look like a car key?” she asked and stared at the key she found in the cake, it looks like a typical car key.

While laughing, Brent took the key from her hand and handed her a different one, ”This is my car key, and this is your motorcycle key”, I just really want to see your reaction” he bursts and tap the leather chair of the motorcycle.

”Don't belittle this motorcycle, it's electric” Novie shut her eyes since she started working, her father drops her to the school every day, and even though it's a motorcycle, it can still help her.

She rolled her eyes and embrace her brother.

”Thank you, but next year I am expecting a car” hearing those words, Brent pushed her body away.

”Are you not planning to move out? You're thirty” he exclaimed, Novie pouted and punched his chest.

”You're 33 but still living here, you should move out too” she replied, Brent lay his arms on her shoulder and they both walked back inside.

”I am living here because I am escaping those crazy, obsessed woman, what's your reason? Are escaping from someone?” Brent jokingly said, but it hit her hard.

Ken's face flashed in her mind, to remove it, she shook her head and pinched her brother's side.

”How did you manage to put the box in the cake?” she asked with confusion.

Brent turned to her, grinning.

”Haha,, you have no idea what I put in there. I baked it myself” he replied proudly.

Hearing those words, she wants to throw up.

---

The week passed without Ken noticing it, in three days he will walk in the altar but his bride is not the person his heart was longing.

He's in the church for the rehearsal, the triplets were also there together with Evan and Glen, who will be his groomsmen, Anna and his mother had arranged everything, he never once cooperated or give his opinion.

Anna's friends were also there to practice, the coordinator was busy around giving instruction to everyone.

They have also invited Matthew to photograph the practice for extra memories; It was Anna's idea; she knows Matthew, he's a professional photographer.
