Crashing Into You 249 WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HOLD A WEDDING BANQUET?

"Hello!"

"Do you still take me as your bestfriend? I haven't talked to you for ages and you didn't even try to send me a message." Ho Min Lin yelled at her when she answere the phone. 

Song Dei Si was stunned and realized that she haven't contacted Ho Min Lin for awhile now. When was the last time that she talked to her. She could not even remember. 

"I'm sorry. I'm just so busy these last few days." 

"Meet me for a coffee now." Said Ho Min Lin demandingly.

"I can't. I'm on my way to Yan High School now."

"Yan High School? Why are you visiting our Alma Mater?" Ho Min Lin asked. 

"I'm working part-time at my mother-in-law office" said Song Dei Si, she was about to enter the Yan High School gate. 

"Why?" 

"Her assistant has filed his resignation and his last day will be this Friday, so I assist mom with some admin stuff while her assistant trains his replacement." 

"Until when are you going to work at your mother-in-law's office?" 

"Maybe until her new assistant can work without any supervision."

"Why did your mother-in-law hired a not competent assistant?"

"She is competent,but you need to train her first and let her adapt to the new environment." Song Dei Si said and parked her car at the parking lot. 

"Let's have coffee during your afternoon break later. Meet me at Brooks Cafe." 

"Okay!" 

.....

"What's up?" Song Dei Si asked Ho Min Lin when she met her at the Brooks Cafe. They have lined up to buy their coffee. 

"I'm going overseas with Ji Nan next weekend." Ho Min Lin shared this news to her.

"Oh! Just the two of you?" She asked.

"Uhm." Ho Min Lin answered shyly.

"So when are you going for a vacation?"  She asked. 

"I told him I want to go to Pulongsea too!" 

"Really?" Song Dei Si got excited when she heard about Pulongsea. "You're going to have the best of your time there. It is a beautiful island. Is it going to be your pre-honeymoon?" 

Ho Min Lin face blushed. She looked at the person on the line next to them and she felt embarrassed "Of course not. You know that I will only give my first time to him during our wedding night."  She said in a very low voice.

Song Dei Si laughed "I doubt. Pulongsea is a very romantic place and I bet that you will be giving your first time to him on the first night of your trip." 

"Shhhh!" Ho Min Lin chided her "Nope. Wedding first." Ho Min Lin said in low voice.

"Why are you still holding for your chastity even if you knew that Tan Ji Nan will be the man that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with?" Song Dei Si said in a low voice too. 

"I am still not sure if we will end up together. He didn't propose on me yet." Ho Min Lin pulled a long face.

"Maybe he will ask the magic question during this trip." Song Dei Si said.

"Are you sure? Did Yan Mor Tee tell you?" Ho Min Lin said excitedly that made her voice raised.

"He didn't tell me anything about it. But don't you have any gut feeling that he will propose to you soon?" Song Dei Si curiously asked. 

"Tan Ji Nan is also busy these last few days. I think he just wanted this vacation just to rest." Ho Min Lin said 

"I see" Song Dei Si answered and looked at the cashier. She smiled at her when she asked for her order. "Two caramel macchiato. Large size." She was about to get a money from her wallet when Ho Min Lin stopped her. "Coffee is on me." 

Ho Min Lin gave her credit card to the cashier. 

"For here?" The cashier asked.

"Yes" Song Dei Si said.

The cashier gave the receipt to Song Dei Si and told them to wait. 

Song Dei Si nodded and they seated on their favorite spot in Brooks Cafe. 

"Can you ask your husband if Tan Ji Nan is already planning to propose on me?" Ho Min Lin said while they were waiting for their coffee

"I've already asked him. He told me that he won't tell me because I might tell it you" Song Dei Si said giggling. 

"Let just not talk about it. I don't want to stress myself."

"Right. Proposal is more sweeter if you least expected it." Song Dei Si agreed. 

"Just like how Yan Mor Tee proposed to you?" 

Song Dei Si did not respond. She could not help but smile when she remember how Yan Mor Tee told her that they will register their marriage on that day. It wasn't the best proposal but she was really swept by her emotions. 

"It's been five months since you've register your union. When are you going to hold a wedding banquet?" Ho Min Lin asked.

Song Dei Si was caught off guard by her question because she just realized that they have never discussed about it yet. 

"Don't tell me Yan Mor Tee don't have any plans of holding a wedding banquet?" Ho Min Lin was quite disappointed.

"What's the use of wedding banquet if we are already husband and wife?" She said trying to hide her disappointment too.

Ho Min Lin scoffed. "Didn't we both dream of having our dream wedding when we were still in highschool?" 

Song Dei Si sighed "Who wouldn't want to walk on the aisle, but it is not our priority right now"

"Are you planning to have your future kids as your ring bearer and flower girl on your wedding?" Ho Min Lin scoffed.

"That's a good idea thou." Song Dei Si smiled. 

"So any news of pregnancy yet?" Ho Min Lin siddenly asked. 

"None yet." Song Dei Si answered. 

"What happen to the mighty Mor Tee that she can't get you pregnant? I guess Yan Mor Tee needs to work hard!"

"Two Caramel Machiatto for Song Dei Si" the barista shouted. 

Song Dei Si wanted to thank the barista for saving her. She didn't know how to tell Ho Min Lin that it wasn't Yan Mor Tee that has a problem but...her!

She stood up and get their orders from the counter. When she came back to their table, Ho Min Lin has already forgotten the topic about pregnancy. She excitedly asked Song Dei Si about the Pulongsea. After 30 mins, Song Dei Si told Ho Min Lin that she needs to come back to her mother-in-law's office because she doesn't have a luxury of time to chit-chat anymore. Ho Min Lin decided to come with her to Yan High School because she suddenly missed her Alma Mater. 

.....

Song Dei Si and Ho Min Lin parted ways when they reached Yan High School ground. Song Dei Si went back to Madam Yan's office while Ho Min Lin has started to roam around. 

It felt nostalgic when Ho Min Lin walked through the school ground. She suddenly remember all the good memories she had in Yan High School. She went to the cafeteria and she remember the times she spent there with Song Dei Si and Tan Ja Nin. How they shared their dreams and aspirations and discussed about their crushes too. She could not help but laughed when she remember that always love to talk about Lee Jin Ho before. How desperate she was just to have a date with him at the expense of Tan Ji Nan. It pained her whenever that memory flashes through her mind but she was grateful too because it became an eye-opener for her to realized that it was Tan Ji Nan that she really likes. 

She took her mobile phone and took a photo of her inside the cafeteria and sent it to Tan Ji Nan. 

HO MIN LIN: Guess where am at right now?

Tan Ji Nan received ther photo message and was able to guess the place. It's been almost 10 years since they graduated from Yan High School but cafeteria still looks the same. The Yan family was doing a great job in preserving the place like it was years ago. 

TAN JI NAN: How can I ever forget that cafeteria? The place where you always ignored that foods that I ordered for you. 

Ho Min Lin face blushed when she read Tan Ji Nan's reply. 

HO MIN LIN: I'm sorry Ji Nan. I can  make it up to you this time. Are you busy?

TAN JI NAN: I just finished my last meeting for the day. 

HO MIN LIN: Can you drop by here? I wanted to make up for the lost opportunity and invites that you gave me to have a date with you here.

Tan Ji Nan was stunned when he read her message and then he suddenly strode off to the exit door of his office to meet his lovely date who was there waiting at Yan High School cafeteria.
