" What have I done? What had happened to me? It could obviously make her furiously mad. Huh! But no! I can become her official I husband today, no matter what, I shall prepare her that way." Then he smiled and shook his head.

He then proceeded to see Fr. Matias, informing that there's a couple requesting him to officiate the wedding.

" Who are they? haven't heard anymore of a couple around.

" Its a secret Fr. Matias, hope you won't tell anyone."

" Ah, okay. What time they would want me to officiate?"

" At 6 o'clock, inside the sibling's house."

" Copy. I'll be there." Then the priest smiled at him.

He walked out heading back to the house when his feet could not send him in and b.u.mped himself on a log outside the main door, in reddish face and chilling heart.

While inside the house.

" Mag, Mag...can I come in? here's your dine in come rus.h.i.+ng, a boiled ca.s.sava for a snack....." Albrecht rushed upon seeing her quandary situation sitting blankly at the back of her bed.

Albrecht knelt in front of her after putting the plate of boiled casava on bed.

" Mag? you're crying? Who hurt you this way? Is it George, I'll whip that lieutenant! George!"

" Shh...stop calling him." She whispered while wiping her tears.

" What happened?" Albrecht asked with two bulging eyeb.a.l.l.s.

" He kissed me." She slowly spoke while pointing her finger on the cheek.

" What? Wait here." He looked at her like a madman and hurriedly got out smiling and perfectly found him that instant.

" Brother! someone's crying inside for her first kiss." Albrecht whispered to the guilty lieutenant.

" Oh my! this is what I was thinking about and he pressed his head too hard then looked to Albrecht.

" What will I do now?"

" Nothing, its a big celebration. Dad would likely come home running." Albrecht smiled and teased him.

" But this is a big deal for her, you know that. Oh! she's calling you in! good luck brother." Albrecht went away and when he met Baldur bringing some bucket he told him to go back to where he come from.

" What happened?" Baldur asked.

" He kissed him, and its her first kiss. Wanna join the court trial? go on, go inside!" Then Albrecht smiled at him.

" Ah, okay, I got it." He shook his head and told Albrecht to see his bean farm.

.

While inside the house.

He slowly knocked the door of her bedroom.

" Come in." She said.

When he opened the door she told him to go to the bathroom, wash a small towel and bring it inside.

He quickly did what she said then got back after a minute.

" Here...what am I going to do with this."

She wasn't looking at him but instructed to come closer and he still followed. When he was a bit closer she showed the cheek he had slowly kissed and told him to wipe it thoroughly. While he was wiping that portion, it quickly became reddish and with her hoa.r.s.e voice she spoke.

" You should have asked me first." She bowed her head and cried.

"Its reddening, your cheek's in pain. I can't wipe it anymore." He put down the towel and deeply sighed.

Silence came in.

" I'm very sorry, I should have waited. Its my fault, I didn't ask a permission. But I was carried away. Its....its there in front of me already , but sorry." He bowed his head.

"You should at least - talk before you do something."

" What will I do next." He sheepishly asked.

" You prepare the wedding. I'll just prepare myself."

" I've started already with Fr. Matias. Hmm...please smile for me, don't mean it too bad. Don't let me feel like I'm a criminal for doing it."

She smiled at him while teary eyed. "Why?"

"...because I love you! its what I thought when I did it, don't you love me that way too?" He whispered and put her hand on his palm and used the other hand to wipe her tears.

" Of course I love you too. Its just that..." She mumbled and he smiled at her.

" You ran out of reason, right?" Its how I feel too, I cannot explain. I become idiot and troubled when it comes to you."

" You are indeed naughty." She said.
