Marriage Certificate

Jean read the SMS message Kier sent her. According to that guy, there is a woman and a man who will bring what she needs."So this is his resolve?" Jean mumbles.Not that long, the doorbell of this unit rings. She first takes a peep in the door peephole if they are the people Kier has said that would come to help. She opened the door, and a beautiful woman greeted her."Hi, Jean!"Jean thought there was an angel appearing on the doorsteps."Erm, hi..." she answered shyly."Hello, Jean! I finally met you!" Daichi stretches his hand for a handshake."Hi, nice to meet," hesitant, but she accepts Daichi's hand so as not to be rude to Kier's friends."It's my pleasure to meet you, too!"Daichi smiles wide at her, besides he sounded friendly, so she feels at ease."Well, can I come in?" asked Blaire."Oh, sure! I'm sorry, please come in," she said blushing, then she widely opens the door."Alright, ladies. I'll wait for you both outside." Daichi left the two women. He knew that they did not need him at this moment."What does he mean?" Jean asked curiously."Oh, that? We will go shopping.""What? But I don't have enough money, and I may not go out too," Jean wearing a long face. She just argued with Kier a while ago because she told him she will have a quick shopping trip to buy some sanitary pads and another pair of undies. But he did not allow her, so what now?"Don't worry, Kier gives me his card. You can buy all you need." Blaire smiled then took out Kier's debit card from her purse."So, you can prepare and change now to come with us. You are safe with us, don't worry.""Oh, okay. Thank you very much." So, Kier told them about her being an illegal tourist? Jean thoughts."You are welcome, Jean… and, here," Blaire handed the bag of hygiene stuff she bought."Um... sorry to trouble you, Miss Blaire.""What are you talking about? We're about the same age, just call me Blaire," she told her."Okay, Blaire. Thank you. I'll go wash up quickly.""Don't worry, take your time," Blaire takes a seat on a single sofa, then grabs a book to let her know she will wait even longer.So Jean did not waste another second and head to the bathroom and prepare what she needed.* * *Last night, she and Kier went out to buy some groceries and a few changes of clothes for her. She was waiting on the sidewalk outside the store because there's something the saleslady did not pack with the other stuff they bought, and Kier went back to ask for it.She was frightened when a police car parked in front of her and the two officers came out and began asking her questions."Excuse me," said one officer. "Can I ask you something about it, ma'am?""What is it?" She nervously asks back. She glances at the store where Kier is having an argument with the lady."Can we ask your name? And show me any identification?""Why?" Her heartbeat racing inside her chest and she turned paler."We were just doing a confirmation check, ma'am," the other officer who answered."But why do you do that?""We are--""What's the matter? Is there a problem here, officers?" Finally, Kier appeared behind her. She feels like passing out."Good evening, sir. We are the Immigration Police, and so we are doing a confirmation check to all the tourists and foreign workers. We wanted to see their passport and visas of stay."Ah, Jean feels like she will pass out any second soon."Is that so? Then why are you asking my wife?"Jean was shocked by what she heard. The two police officers look at each other. Moreover, Kier grabs her on the waist."My name is Attorney Kier Lawrence, if you have a problem, you can visit and ask your concern at my family's law firm. I am sure you know where it is.""Ah... I am sorry, Attorney Lawrence. Probably the records we have are incorrect," the police officer bowed to him."Yes. It must be outdated records as just recently we registered our marriage.""Hmm... we see. We're sorry for disturbing your shopping."The two officers bowed once more."No problem. Have a good night officer.""Have a good night, Attorney Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence..."Kier grabs her closer, giving a signal to answer."Hm? Oh, yes! Have goodnight officers!" She's still in a panic. She bows twice."Let's go, honey," Kier began pulling her waist to walk towards their car."Ah... yes." she smiled because the two officers were still watching them.She felt her body still shivering after she seated inside the car. Her heartbeat is still racing inside her chest. Not because she was almost arrested, but because they pretended to be a husband and wife. Right now, her cheeks blush."What are you thinking about?"Eh? What? She glances at him confusingly."Isn't the last time you told me I was your boyfriend? Then we're even now."Her mouth dropped on the car floor. This guy knew how to ruin a mood.Jean shook her head. That's such a crazy idea. Her? Mrs. Lawrence? Mrs. Jean Soberano Lawrence. Sounds good, but... no! She shook her head again and continued her shower.* * *Meanwhile, the meeting Kier talks about is him telling her family about Jean. He requested for his mom and brother Matt to come to their Law Firm for an important discussion with his dad.They thought it was about Andrea's birthday, but that's one thing, yes.And now, his brother, his mother, and his dad are giving him a funny facial reaction after he informed them about his situation at the present.The reason he talked to them is that of what happened last night. He requested his father to do something about a marriage certificate that was registered two days ago.He convinces them it is necessary as protection for Jean when she is the main witness for the case they prepare to file soon before Senator Lou makes a drastic move towards Jean and him."Stop the face, will you?" he told Matt and his parents who appear overreacting. He sighed.
