Have you ever fallen in love? How does it feel? Is it as magical as people say? Well, I wanna know.... It's not that I haven't fallen in love. I have fell in love too. But it's a little bit different. I fell in love with a dream, to be exact with the person from the dream. And since then, everyday I've desperately waited for that dream to come true. Seven years.... I waited for seven years until that dream became my reality, until I saw him.... The man from my dream standing infront me. That day even the reality felt like a dream to me.
"What? Autograph? Why?" I asked breaking our eye contact.
"Well, you look like a celebrity to me!" she expressed slowly in a low voice, and her voice was so low that it came out almost as a whisper.
"Well, I'm not. So, my autograph doesn't matter", I said with a polite smile as I returned her the notebook and pen.
"Could I at least take a picture with you?" she asked looking pitiful.
Seeing her like this, I really sympathized with her. And for a moment I wanted to say yes to her. But then I remembered that I can't say yes to things like these and if M knew that I took a photo with someone else, he is sure to kill me. So I would love to avoid death before my marriage.
"Sorry sweetheart, but I can't!" I said with a sad grin.
She looked away disheartedly. I felt so bad seeing her like that. I just somehow wanted to make it up to her for this time, cause I don't like to hurt anyone.
"You know maybe you could take a picture with me", I looked over at her.
She immediately looked at me with hopeful eyes and said, "Really?"
"Yeah, you work with Raidan, don't you?" I asked narrowing my eyes.
"Sort of, he's a professor and I'm an intern slush student", she said with a slouch.
"Ok, so you can take pictures with us on May 1st. That's the day when I'm getting married to your professor", I told her with a shy smile.

"You knew, right? You knew and that's why you asked me to dress up well, right", I asked him as he took a picture of me with the John Harvard statue.
"Knew what?" he asked narrowing his eyes, looking at me over the camera.
"That I have fans in here. I meet Roye and if I'm not wrong Elea is also my fan. I also met the other girls down the hallway while waiting for you", I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"Oh, sounds like you are popular!" he gave a smirk.
"Look left and lift your chin upward a little, your right hand on your cap and, that's it", he instructed as he took more pictures.
"Let's take a picture together, shall we? A selfie maybe", I suggested.
He nodded and quickly moved to my side. He handed me the camera and took out his phone from his pocket. We took two photos with both of us making the victory sign. It didn't feel like this is how fiances take pictures, so I suggested him to put an arm around my shoulder. He hesitated, but eventually put a hand around my shoulder. We took a few beautiful pictures.
"Raidan, don't the MT's have any girls?" I asked him as he put his phone back into his pocket.
Just like DT is an England(mainly Oxford) based club, in the same way MT is an USA(Harvard) based club. Well, currently DT ranks in the top. And MT is on the top 10s.
"I guess they do. But maybe you inspire them more than their own club members", he said as we walked pass the John Harvard statue.
"Really? Well they had to. Cause I'm more charming", I said with a giggle.
He looked at me over his shoulder at my comment and then he just stared at me for a while and then he said, "Indeed you are!!!".
And once again there goes my heart.... beating louder and faster. A pang of overwhelm crossed my whole body. I just stared at him, as he walked away without noticing me standing like a statue in here. A few steps later he noticed and then he came back and took my hand into his and pulled me out of my zone to walk with him.
"Let's meet my coworkers after we grab lunch, ok?" he asked casually.
"Sure thing. Oh, Raidan that reminds me that I think, we need to talk", I said carefully.
"What? You changed your mind? You don't want to marry me anymore?" he gave me back my words, making a super shocked face.
"What is it? Why am I getting a deja vu?" I frowned.
"I just gave your words right back to you", he said with a chuckle.
"Very smart. Let's get back to the topic now, shall we?" I asked as we stepped inside the cafeteria.
Inside the cafeteria everyone's giving us a shocked look. Almost as if they had seen something they shouldn't have, or at least they hadn't expected. I looked around the whole cafeteria only to find out that everyone's looking at us with the same reaction. And their reaction gave me a goosebumps. I felt chills running down my spine.
"And the topic would be?", he asked as we took a seat to wait for our order, completely unbothered by people's staring.
"Right", I swallowed after I said it then again I started, "So, I was thinking that maybe we could pre-pone our wedding", I continued as he carefully listened to me, "May 1st. I think we should have our wedding on this day. I've already informed my family. Sorry for not discussing beforehand".
He took a few minutes to process all of it. And I gave him that time. Cause I understand that it's actually too much to process as once.
"Why May 1st? I mean what's so special about this date?" he asked once he was done processing everything, or I that's what I thought.
But he has asked me the most hardest question of the history. How am I supposed to answer that? What should I say to him? Should I tell him that, 'it was the first day when I had dreamed of you and that's why it's special. And that's why I think we should get married on this day'. Hell no!! I can't tell him all these things. He's going to think that I'm a pervert if I tell him this. Panic started running though me as I failed to guess what to say. But I had to say something, cause he is definitely waiting for an answer.
"It's the international holiday. I mean if we get married on this day then we won't have to worry about asking for a leave. And everyone will also be able to attend without any worries", I speak out all the nonsense that one could possibly say, in that panic.
"Sounds reasonable. Alright, that's what we'll do then. But I'm just afraid that we won't have enough time to prepare", he said putting a finger on his lips, just like he always does everytime he thinks of something.
"Well!! How about we pick up our wedding dresses today?" he asked.
