12 I say…Yes

"What?....No way....Ben Ben..."

Ming Er look surprised with this sudden proposal by me.

I don't know why suddenly I blurted those words. I just have an urge to protect this pitiful girl. Besides, heaven already sends me someone who really looks like my wife in the past. How can I let this chance to slip away? Who knows if she finds a job, she will still stay with me and not move away? What if someone also approaching her with ill intent? So I repeat my proposal once again,

"Ming Er, will you marry me?"

Ming Er dumbfounded when hearing what I'm saying just now. She looks at me with disbelief eyes and asking in trembling tone

"Ben Ben….you...you're joking right?"

I look at her straight in her eyes, while shaking my head I reply her

"No, I'm not joking. I'm serious"

"You want to marry me? just now...you propose me?", She asks in disbelief tone.

"Yes, I do"

"You know I'm already pregnant, right?"

"I know that I don't mind and I will accept you just the way you are"

"You will love this child although it's not your own blood?"

"I will love him or her like my own child, and if we have another child, I will not discriminate against him or her"

"But you only knew me since yesterday"

"Is it really needs a long time to love someone?"

"Why you love me? There are many other girls that better than me, not someone that already used like me"

"Did I need a reason to love you? Did I need permission to love someone? Maybe you're right, there are many better girls than you outside. But my eyes only see you"

"Do you mean with what you just say?"

"I mean it. So, what you say? Can you love me? Will you marry me?"

"Give me time to think…it's so sudden, I don't know what to think"

"Okay"

Ming Er closes her eyes, there are tears in the corner of her eyes. And when she opened her eyes, with the sweetest smile in her face, she answering it

"Ben Ben…Thank you…and the answer....I say…Yes"

I left the kitchen and approaching her that still sit on the counter with tears on her face. I stop two-step in front of her and stretching my hand. Instead of taking my hand, she stands up and hugs me. She leans her head in my chest and her cry break after that.

"Waaaa….Ben ben….*sob sob*…why you so good to me…*sob*"

I just hug her back while rubbing her head. For a moment we both drown in our emotions and feelings. After her cries recede, she raises her head and looks at me

"Ben ben…tell me…I'm not dreaming right?"

"No, you don't. Or should I pinch your cheek to wake you up?"

"Rather than a pinch, how about a kiss? So when I wake up I can see my prince"

Compared with my previous Ming Er who timid and gently, this new Ming Er is rather bold and lively. But it's not I dislike it, I somehow also like this new Ming Er. So I bring my head closer to her head and give her a kiss.

"Mmm…now I'm feeling like snow princess hihihi"

"You believe now?"

"Um, after what happened with that bastard, I'm losing my trust to man. But after meeting you I think not all man in the world is bad"

"So, can we marry now?"

"Not now"

"Why?"

"Because I don't want my husband look bad in our marriage certificate's photo"

She said that while rubbing my unshaved chin, which make me laugh heartily. So you can tease me now huh?

"Ah you right, I should take bath first and have shaved. After that, we go to city hall and registering our marriage"

"Um, that's better. I also want to change my dress too. I want to look beautiful as your wife"

We go upstairs together while holding our hands. We separate as I'm going to the bathroom to take a bath and shaving, and she going to her room to change her dress to a better dress.
