Chapter 13 He is my husband

Something was not right. It was seen like something was happened between them. Ray open his eye. His head was heavy. He was not sure what was happening. Everyone was staring at him. Even Rose look sad. Grandpa come near to him and said, " You both must love each other. So I will agree with your marriage."

" My marriage? With whom?" Ray was confuse. He asked.

" With Merry. She have told me everything. We have no objection."

Ray stay silent even after hearing what Grandpa said. Rose was not expecting silent. She want to know answer but cannot question. ( Should I stay silent and accept it? Accept my husband to marry another woman? Agree to leave him?) She have lots of question in her mind. She was looking at Ray with pain.

Rose look at Ray. He was silent but he was not looking guilty. ( Mr. Li, Why are you not saying anything. Tell everyone you love me. I am your wife.) Rose think with her eyes close. She believe Ray so much. She know he will never betray her. She take a long breathe and said, " I don't think Mr. Li and Merry have something as Merry said."

" What? Are you saying I am making seen? Mr. Li is not saying anything. It mean he also like me." Merry said with full confident.

Somehow Rose fell down. She felt little scared thinking what if she was right. She glance at Ray. He smile at her. Her confident increase little. She believe in him. She know he will not let him down.

" How can he like you?" Rose smile and said.

" Why cannot he like me?" Merry was so angry. She said angrily.

"Because he love me. I am her wife." She moves near Ray and hold his hand.

Everyone were shock. Grandpa ask Rose, " Are you saying truth?"

" Yes Grandpa, We are married." Ray replied before Rose.

" Then, Why didn't you say anything when Merry said You both like each other and you both have..." Grandpa cannot say that thing what he was told.

" I don't know what Merry told you but I only love my Wife. And my wife is Rose." Ray look at Rose and said.

Grandpa was still confused. He didn't get why Ray didn't said anything when everyone were thinking Ray and Merry have done something wrong. Grandpa have lots of question he want to ask but he don't know what question should he ask first.

Ray whisper in Rose ear, " I just wanted to know how much you trust me." He hold Rose hand tightly.

After everything sort out. Rose pull Ray and bring him outside the house.

She have lots of thing she wanted to ask but cannot said it. She hesitate to say.

" You want to say something right? Say it before it disturb you." Ray caress her hair and said.

Rose take long breadth and said, " What if I didn't trust you and let you marry Merry? Are you thinking of marrying Merry if I didn't trust you?" Rose burst out with tears.

Ray pat her head and said, " Idiot, How can I let you go far from me. I haven't eat you." He bite her ear.

" You!!" She turn red.

" Today I am so happy. You finally admit me as your husband. And trust me I will not betray you. I am only attracted to you. I have no interest in other woman. So when Merry said about having that thing. I knew she was lying. I stay silent because I want to know my place in your heart. Now I have your heart how about your body."

Ray hug her.

" What are you talking about? How can we do that thing here?" She said softly.

" You mean it's okay in our house." He tease her.

" You know it was not what I mean." Rose look down and said in low voice.

" Let's return our home now."

" Now? It's so late."

" Don't you want to come with me?" Ray angrily said.

" How about going tomorrow? I have to go to see my Mom and Dad tomorrow." She sadly said.

He hug her and said, " I don't know tomorrow is your Mom and Dad death anniversary."

" Mr. Li, Will you also leave me as my Mom and Dad?" She said with full of tears.

" No, Never!! I will not leave you. I will give you all happiness. So be with me." He hug her tightly.

Next morning, Rose pack her bag to leave with Ray. She was sad to leave Grandpa and John.

Rose said she will come more often to visit them. Rose went in Merry room and said, " Merry, I have always taken you as my sister and you will be always be my sister but never hurt other for your happiness. I hope you will find someone who truly loves you but remember never hurt someone who truly loves you." Rose come down after telling Merry.

Rose went in place where her Mom and Dad were buried. She put flower and said, " Mom, Dad.... I found someone who truly love me. I want blessing of both of you. I forget to visit you both. I am sorry but I never forget your love for me. Love you Mom.... Love you Dad."

She kneel down and cried. Ray embrace Rose and said, " Your Mom and Dad must be very happy. You love your Mom and Dad so much."

" But I haven't visit them from long time. They must be angry with me." She ask with tearful eyes.

" How can they be angry with you. You are so cute. They must be proud that you always remember them."

" Really?" She asked.

" Umm. They must be looking at you. Close your eye and feel them." He ask to close her eye.

( Mom Dad, I love him and want to be with him forever. Will you be happy with my decision?)

( Uncle Aunty, I promise I will not let Rose to suffer. I will love her and be with her. Please support me and my decision.)

" Mr. Li, I love you. Thanks for coming in my life." Rose smile and said.

" I love you more."
