Samantha looked around the room and saw everyone that she loves dearly. Her family and close friends were all present and she was very happy to have them on their special day. Her mother noticed her glancing around so she gestured for her to come over. Mrs. Kim was sitting together with Mrs. Cho and Hannah, they were talking about fas.h.i.+on and shopping.
Samantha smiled at her mother and excused herself from the group. She sauntered towards where her mother is and sat at their table.
"h.e.l.lo, what are you lovely ladies talking about?" Samantha asked the moment that she joined them.
Both Mother Kim and Mother Cho looked at her with smiling eyes, they were happy to see her. Hannah handed Samantha a wine gla.s.s which contained her favorite red wine; her best friend just knew her too well. "We were just talking about the new clothing brand that the top model is currently endorsing." She answered. Hannah really likes clothes a lot and she often has the best selection of the famous and luxury brands locally and internationally. And if Samantha needs any clothing advice, Hannah sure is the best one to go to.
"Samantha, dear. I am extremely happy that you and Daniel had finally tied the knot." Mother Cho began. "Now I get to call you "daughter"! How great is that?"
"Oh, auntie!" Samantha chuckled at her remark. Mother Cho raised her brows right after Samantha said those, "What auntie? Don"t call me that anymore! From now on, you have to call me mom. Got it?"
Mother Kim nudged her friend on the side, Christina Cho was so excited to have her daughter as her daughter-in-law and now she couldn"t wait to be called mom by her. "Are you trying to steal my daughter from me?"
With a shocked expression, Mother Cho patted her friend"s shoulder. "Nonsense! How could I even do that? Of course, she has to call me mom now, she"s already married to my boy! That"s only fair, isn"t it?" She reasoned.
Mother Kim nodded and stifled a laugh before she looked at her daughter who sat beside her. A blush crept on Samantha"s cheeks as she found it a little embarra.s.sing. She had always felt very warm with Mother Cho ever since the first day that she met her. And even later when she and Daniel had started dating. She was very thankful that Mother Cho is a good friend of her mother because then she no longer had to make them like each other.
Pursing her lips, her heart danced a little before she opened her mouth and tried it. "Mom."
Her mother-in-law clapped her hands when she heard Samantha calling her "mom". She had always wanted to have a daughter but she was instead blessed with two boys. That is why she had told herself that she would treasure whoever her sons are going to marry. "Oh! How nice to hear a daughter calling me mom. It"s definitely sweet!" She commented. "Samantha, whatever problems that you will have with Daniel, you can come to me. Okay? I"m his mother but if he is in the wrong, I would never side with him."
"Well, I hope that it won"t have to come to that!" Samantha"s mother exclaimed. Mother Kim felt satisfied that Samantha had a lot of people who care for her. But although she was contented for her daughter to have someone back her up, she wishes that Samantha won"t have to experience any trouble in her marriage.
Hannah briefly checked her phone to see if she had any messages and decided to log on to her social networking page too. Her eyes grew wide when she saw a lot of notifications from Samantha"s post. "Hey everyone, check out our reposts. Mine has blown up!" She urged the others who had done the same thing she did and so they took out their phones to see.
Earlier that evening, after Samantha had posted her and Daniel"s picture with that caption as an announcement, a lot of them in the room reposted it. Hannah, for example, had shared it to her own page. She wrote a short message with it that said, "To all haters of my best friend, I"m slapping you all with this! I hope your cheeks are swollen!"
She logged off from the site and forgot about it. It had only been about two hours since, and her repost alone already had thousands of comments; all ranging from supporters and haters.
It was also the same with Seo Joon. He was never the kind of guy who posts a lot on social media, so his post was rather simple, "I"m happy as long as my sister is happy."
Liam who learned about the story between Daniel and Melissa found it very satisfying that his brother and sister-in-law had finally made their relations.h.i.+p public.
He was so proud to have a new sister and so he obviously wanted to boast and do a bit of face slap, "My brother and my sister-in-law have been soulmates since their past lives. Don"t start yapping if you don"t even know the whole truth. Also, delusional people can suck it!" He wanted the people to think that Samantha and Daniel had always been together, and outsiders should mind their own business.
Becca opened the application and sn.i.g.g.e.red when she saw Liam"s post, she had always thought that Liam was a bit childish sometimes. Liam abruptly glanced over at her screen and realized what made her laugh. "Hey! What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
He scoffed and searched her name on the friend"s list to check her own post, he found it right away. Opening her page, he saw her repost of Samantha"s. "I am one of the witnesses for these two people"s love for each other. And it"s the kind of love that I would want for myself someday.
"So Melissa Qin, stop with your whining and your acting just to gain sympathy. You have just dug your own grave."
Liam guffawed when he read hers. He thought of how bold Becca is because she didn"t restrain herself from tagging Melissa"s name on her post. "Ms. Becca Wise, you really aren"t afraid huh?"
Becca saw what Liam was looking at on his screen and she just shrugged. She had always been like that, she chose to be blunt because she never really cared about what other people think of her. She says what she wants to say and does what she wants to do. "Meh, people like her probably don"t get it right away if you don"t tell them directly. It"s best to be straightforward."
Mother Kim and Mother Cho had seen and followed their posts and the two of them were enjoying the praises and disliking the hate messages.
Samantha looked up at her mother when she held her hand. And with earnest eyes, Mother Kim excitedly said, "Sweetheart, you know what else would shut them up? If you two have a baby!"
