19 Chapter 18: We're both in these together

The atmosphere have a good vibes in it. Im happy that my friends are different from others, whom appeared nice and all but secretly pitying or being disgusted by those who have disability. That's probably because xiao meng is also one? our xiao meng had this speech disability

A speech or language disability means that a person has difficulty communicating by talking. This can range from using the wrong sound during speaking, to being unable to understand speech, or being unable to use speech to communicate. Speech and language disabilities might be caused by a stroke or injury to the brain. Other causes may be hearing loss, drug abuse, or physical impairments. Sometimes the cause is not known. As for our xiao meng its start from birth and her parents had add on it. Everything became worst. Psychologically her brain stop trying to learn because of bitter childhood.

My friends have different backgrounds, different childhood, different hobbies, different attitude and personality, but we do have the same things that folds us together. Experience of the hardship of life!

Some might say, those young miss and young masters of a great business family have it good as they born with golden spoon in their mouth? but people don't know that poor people might be lack financially but full of familial love that we(rich kids) looking for. As for those rich kid? they'll do bad things just to make they're parents spare them some time.

Anyway, what im saying is..... in the eyes of those young kids opened in the worlds cruelty since young, could tell who's worth it to be friend. After all, those who have the same situation can understand each other.

"Okay guys, let's give our opinions about the best place to have a honeymoon" Leaifa said bringing everyone's attention to her

"I've been thinking of Mauritius, i think its the most romantic place on the world for honeymoon. This dreamy island nation in the Indian Ocean pairs white sand beaches, rare birds and volcanic mountains with a warm mix of French, Indian and Creole cultures. Take a catamaran for snorkeling and enjoy a barbecue in the stylish 19th-century Governor's House for a romantic dinner." Ah-ream added her opinion. " Isnt a very romantic place for a honeymoon?"

"What about the tourist spot there? are they interesting? is the view good?" Yue asked

"We should take a look of best honeymoon destination first, before planning their romantic escapade." Micho added

"Well Mauritius have also this attractive spot, such as Les 7 Cascades, Ile aux Cerfs, Ile des Deux Cocos, Trou d'Argent Beach, and Le Morne Brabant. Also don't miss visiting Pamplemousses Botanical Garden, that was the best spot i could think they'll enjoy walking together." Ah-ream said while looking at yer phone, and let us see, some of her adventure there.

"Not bad, but we could still look for more lively place" mavis said "how about paris? walking around Eiffel Tower would bring a very roma- Ack!" what the?! Kaori stop! Ack! D*mn, your hands are like hummer!" mavis complained as he looked at kaori with fear.

"What was that for?" mavis asked with a looked of being wronged

"You really are a loser, without a girlfriend" kaori mockingly said "Eiffel Tower is already cliche for a romantic honeymoon! would you like this couple to take a a line before they have time to stroll? Couples there already crowded the tower! D*mn movies!" kaori disdainfully said, probabl?!y blaming the movies for making the place crowded.

"Ouch! you struck me where it hurts" mavis mournfully said earning our laugh.

Actually mavis are popular in korea, specially to girls he was good looking after all added with his loaded wallet. But he was inlove with his brother's ex-wife, the complicated love story between the three could make even me felt extremely sad.

"What about Havelock island from Andaman? I once came there, that island once famous for its prisons is now ready to capture anyone with its enchanting beauty. It offers the perfect romantic setting, for those couples that don't seek exclusivity in extremely serene settings." maze said then looked at her mac tablet probably to type something.

"here" she pass me her tablet, i saw a pictures of different beautiful sea water. "Radhanagar Beach, Blue Corals Dive, Neil Island, Elephanta Beach, Scuba Lov.in, Andaman Bubbles, and Kaala Pathar Beach are most commonly visited there." she explains the ins and outs of the place so that i can decide on my own "Actually the best time to visit Havelock island, is January to May. Its a perfect time since the wedding is May!" maze said. I don't know why but felt goosebumps seeing maze fanatically sing praises of that island. Its probably because it has the history of prisons? she really have this hair raising hobbies.

"I'll think about it. Its good if i can have a few choices, we probably avoid beaches and mountains that are not wheelchair accessible because of brother yi's situation" i said seriously. I unconsciously looked at brother yi whom became stiff.

he looked at me and smile bitterly. he's previous waning gloomy atmosphere came back at full force.

"Don't worry about me. We could still chose the honeymoon you wanted, i can just happily watch. you know?" he said, in a gloomy expression

"It's alright brother yi, the honeymoon place is not that special but whom your with" i said softly. trying to make him understand.

"I'm sorry for being like this, if i was-------" he rumbled but i cut him with a stern voice of mine that i didn't frequently used

"You better stop thinking gloomy things alright?! I'm not doing this because of your condition but im doing this for me" i said looking at his eyes

"Your right. i can't let you had a hard time of our honeymoon" he sarcastically said. he's vibe became terrifying after i said that.

"can you just shut up and listen first?! rumbling nonstop without hearing the rest can make the situation worst. are you a kindergarten?" I yelled, feeling irritated by constantly being interrupted and misunderstood. How could he be so unreasonable?!

"I want this wedding or honeymoon to be memorable one! I want not only me to enjoy this but also you. We both in this together brother yi, but you clearly not with me." i said, almost screaming that startled him, and probably everyone.

"I know it's just a arrange marriage for you with a certificate. But it was different from mine! your being in the wheelchair is not the problem but your petty mindset!" i said almost lost my breathe. after a while my face turn into shocked then fear. I regretted yelling at brother yi, if i was not very inlove with him. I wouldn't have lost my mind hearing his self mocking. I can't just see him thought of petty things! Im not in the wrong here!

when i think that i did the right thing, i looked up at him again with determination.

"If you don't have better say, you better SHUT up and listen to our suggestion." I said threateningly. I held my stand in this conversation, but i almost keel, when i saw him looked at me with his deep abyssal black eyes.

I cough and looked at my friends. When they caught my eyes they both started flipping and typing on their tablet and push some pictures for me to see.

"Well i also did my research about this" i said softly and peek at Brother Yi. I immediately looked away after seeing him, still looking at me. Goodlord, im done for! he's probably mad at me from yelling at him, i really am a crazy pig!

"There is this elder, i met in one of the parties ive been." i said and thought of the disabled elder "He said that wheelchair users already know that cruising is one of the best ways to see the world. It is arguably also the easiest way to visit The Last Frontier in America, also known as Alaska." i said and explain how we talked about his escapades retirement plan.

"He said that out all the cruised. he experience, Alaska is easily one of his favorite destinations in the entire world. Considering the volume of Alaska cruises he book accessible travel agency clients, That cruised are popular itinerary for wheelchair users as well! The scenery is jaw-dropping, and the people are so friendly and welcoming. However, he said that there are a few things to take into consideration when picking the right cruise ship itinerary for an Alaska visit." i retell them everything about how he arranged a wheelchair accessible helicopter tour in Junea, and some beach that have this convertible wheelchair. Well the more i talk the more excited i am, you see wheelchair user can enjoy life too! And besides brother yi isn't really disabled, he just gave up about his self!

I picked up a notepad and listed some of the place i remembered when he story-telled me his experience such as  Ljubljana, Slovenia. Frankfurt,German.Sydney,Australia. Orlando, USA. Dublin, Ireland.

The elder also told me, the 11 Countries You Thought Weren't Wheelchair Accessible, But Totally Are. Such as Iceland, Poland, Ecuador, Slovenia,  United Arab Emirates, and also  Barbados. Winter is a slow time for him as far as travel because most of the places he usually enjoy visiting are too cold. he always thought of the Caribbean as an inaccessible place because of the older infrastructure and LOTS of sand. "You can imagine my surprise when I discovered several resorts in Bridgetown with accessible rooms and even tour companies with wheelchair vans!" the elder said to me, i know for sure that the old man enjoyed that place alot. Along the way he visited Harrison's Cave, the Soup Bowl along Bathsheba beach, the George Washington House, Independence Square, and even St. John's Church and Cherry Hill Point.

my friends became speechless, as i retell everything. I even felt the intense burning eyes of brother yi's became more intense.

"Your on your own bess! Can't you even make us have time to shine in this planning?" kaori complained making everyone laugh. "God, i can't even tell if im still needed here" the tense atmosphere dispersed like it was never there. I gratefully looked at my bestfriend and she wink at me in return.

I didn't dare looked anymore at brother yi's direction because i know for sure he was looking at me. Im not being overly confident but you know that my body instinctively detecting his every move. signed.

As the day came to an end, i thought would never join us again because of my wagging tongue but....

Almost every meet up with my friends to perfectly planned my and brother yi's wedding. Brother Yi joined in. Making me and Grandpa Li expect something. Something i know, I'll be hurt as too much expectations down to give a big blow someday.

But what could i say? Loving a person would make someone instinctively think of possibility that rational mind would not think of.
