"Mary...!!" Call someone while running to the coffee shop. Marry who was preparing a snack menu in the form of muffins and cupcakes in the display case, immediately turned his head.
"Claire." Marry stopped his activities, and welcomed his best friend. They hugged lightly and splashed cipiki.
"Sorry, yesterday I couldn't stay long at Mr. Mars' party. I'm at work." Said Marry while blinking one eye.
Claire was still staring at Marry with an astonished look.
"You're still pretty, like when we were in High School. Your body is still slim, there are no wrinkles on the face. And certainly still good at making various snacks like before. I miss your muffins so much." Claire cheerfully.
"Sit down, I'll make you a special drink."
Marry mixes his coffee, puts muffins and cupcakes in the box and takes them to Claire. Marry put it right in front of his best friend during High School.
Claire was amazed. He took out a chocolate muffin and directly devoured it.
"Actually a new muffin and cupcake menu these few months. I had to remodel this place a little bit and buy a new oven and cookware again. But, the welcome is very good. They like it." Marry told me with pleasure.
"And thrive on these cute cupcakes!" Claire takes a cupcake in the shape of a cute rose, then takes a photo before enjoying it.
"Actually, for a cupcake it starts from my daughter's birthday. From there I began to develop the ability to decorate this little cake."
Claire was stunned for a moment and looked towards Marry.
"You have a daughter? You're married? When's? With who? Why don't me and Terence get any news? Don't tell me if Terence knows and I don't!" Claire flings Marry with questions.
Marry sighed for a moment.
"That's Justin's son?" Investigate Claire in a soft voice while advancing her body towards Marry as if whispering.
Marry nodded weakly. Claire frowned and looked at Marry with a probing look.
"We never came to Stanford. Just dump Justin, and then you have a kid! You know, Justin's been heartbroken ever since you didn't come to prom that night. Justin eventually decided to go to another university, and moved there. Terence said he was very disappointed in you." Claire sighed as she threw her back on the back of the bench while folding her hands in front of her chest.
"He stays on his mind?" Ask Marry.
"What are you still asking about Justin?" Claire sat cynically.
In her heart, Mary still loves Justin. His first love, his first lover. And she dreams of getting married and living happily with Justin. Not only Marry, but Justin also had the same dream as Marry.
However, Marry suddenly left him for no apparent reason and always avoided. Justin was disappointed and hurt, then chose this scholarship to another university.
"Yes. Justin works at a well-known law firm. He also graduated quickly with cumlaude grades. In addition, he was also the captain of his university club basketball team. Two years ago, Terence and I met Justin at a college event. That's the end, me and Terence know you didn't take your scholarship. Terence made sure with the campus, that you really never returned the files, and never gave any news to the university. Your name's been blacklisted."
Marry looked down and closed his eyes.
"I chose to raise my daughter, so she wouldn't end up living in social service. I don't want my daughter to feel like an orphan. I want to take care of him. And this is my choice." Said Marry while showing the shop.
"I'm still working with Mrs Ruth. He's very kind. But, I never said, that I was Marry Terence's best friend."
"Who's got you pregnant?" Ask Claire.
"It doesn't matter who I'm pregnant with. What matters is that I can live happily with my daughter." Marry Sahut.
"Marry, I came to see you, to ask you to be one of my escort girls at my marriage to Terence." Claire said as she looked at Marry.
"Oh, jeez! Congratulations to you both!" Marry stood up and hugged Claire.
"I'm so happy to hear this news!" Marry Seru.
"Can you?"
"certain. I'll help you as much as I can. Don't be shy." Answer Marry.
Claire laughed at Marry's response.
They continued their conversation until Terence came to pick me up. They chatted for a long time. Until Marry picks Alice up at school.
In the other corner across the store, Kevin watched Marry chatting with Terence and Claire from a distance. A smile rang on Kevin's lips every time Marry smiled or laughed.
The strange feeling appeared again. She hoped that Mary and Alice would come to see her. I don't know, he misses Alice very much right now.
