Mum brought in a whole lot of people to help decorate the house. There were those which helps in the front porch, those which helps to wax the floor, those that helps the chefs to decide the menu, many to put up decorations and those which were hired to put up some performance. That afternoon, Mum came over to me with the guest lists.
"Here." She said as she handled me the lists.
"Do you think it's enough?" She asked. I just looked through it simply.
"I think so." I said.
"I just have to make a call to my friends in Korea and invite them and it'll be just right." I added.
"Ok." She said, smiled.
That afternoon was really, I didn't know how to describe, well messy and crowded. This was what I fear most. I am agrophobic. I stood up from the sofa and wanted to walk to my room to avoid all these strangers but my mind was in a huge state of confusion and my phobia struck. I just fainted. Before I blackout, I heard korh shouted my name and caught me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Pris?" I heard korh called me.
"Are you awake?" He asked. I opened my eyes. The whole surroundings were unfamiliar to me.
"Where am I?" I said.
"In your room, and don't move. Dr White is trying to take your blood sample." He said as I wanted to get up.
"Ok..." I said. Mum came to me.
"Are you alright, darling?" Mum asked.
"Yes." I said. I just need some rest.
"Okay." Mum replied. In the background I could see F4 but not Qiuru... I think she must be still fitting her gown.
"Sorry if I had shocked all of you." I said.
"It's okay." Mum said. Korh just held tightly to my hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried to be around Qiu with all the fittings and whatever, just to make her feel more comfortable cause she's excited about her birthday, and I made everyone promised not to tell her about this. Later in the evening when I went back to my room to rest, I heard a knock on the door.
"Who's that?" I said.
"It's me, Jerry." I heard.
"Come on in." I said. I was reading the Harry Potter book which I have yet to finish.
"Hey," I said.
"Hi." He said.
"I came over to tell you something. Although I know it's not the right time but I won't have a chance to say it again after this." He said.
"Ok, I'm all ears." I said, putting down my book.
"Ok." He said.
"I would want to initiate a break-up." He said.
"My ex-girlfriend called me the day before yesterday to patch up, and I agreed." He said.
"I love her." He said.
"I'm sorry." He added.
"Okay," I said. He was surprised.
"I thought you will cry." He said.
"No, remember our deal?" I asked.
"Yes." He answered.
"Then I have no reason to cry. In fact, I want to congratulate you and am happy for you." I said. He hugged me.
"Thanks." He said and went out.
Then I remembered what I need to do. I need to call to Korea. I picked up the receiver and dial the number.
"Aniyohaseyo...Boa daeyo?" I called.
"Oni?" I heard her said.
"Oni!" She exclaimed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went up to Qiu's room to pass to her the ring I helped Korh picked for her birthday present. The days past super quickly and soon it was her birthday.
On her birthday morning, around 6am, Ben came to me when I was in the kitchen having a hot drink.
"Miss, this just came in for Mr and Mrs Ridges from the hospital." He said.
"Should I pass to you or.." He asked.
"It's okay, I'll take it." I answered. It was a medical report.
'I need to take your blood sample' I thought over that day I fainted, maybe this report is about me, so I opened it. But the first few words shocked me. 'DNA Test Report'. Curious, I looked on. 'DNA Testing Report for Miss Priscilla and Mr Kenneth Ridges.
'What's going on?' I thought. I continued to look further down. 'Test results: 100% positive.' It stated and continuity on many stats figures and explanation.
'What does this mean?' I thought. I decided to keep this a secret. I have to find out what was actually going on about that, and if the report is true, they are my REAL parents? I was confused. I hid the report in the safe in my walk-in wardrobe, and proceed to wake Qiu up.
