Matchmaking Festival 34 Right Here Waiting
Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.— Richard Marx•••Annaliese hadn't expected her boyfriend to be this sentimental or attached. She blushed, touched by how deeply he loved her. All the anxious thoughts she had harbored about him the previous night completely faded away.“Alright. A picture or a video?” she asked.“First a picture, then a video,” he replied.William held his phone out at eye level and hit the shutter button.Predictably, the framing was off. William’s hand was cropped awkwardly out of the frame, and Annaliese’s face looked disproportionately large.Still, she didn't complain. Opening her palm toward him, she simply asked, “Can I try?”“I knew it. It was horrible, wasn't it?” William sighed, sounding defeated.Annaliese giggled at his childlike frustration. “No, it wasn't bad at all,” she reassured him. “Taking a good picture can just be a little tric
Matchmaking Festival 33 How Do I Live
How do I live without you? I want to know. How do I breathe without you if you ever go? How do I ever, ever survive?– Trisha Yearwood•••Now that Meyling had given her blessing, Annaliese didn't need to stay at the Chen residence any longer. She was free to go back to William’s apartment; a shift that thrilled him. He didn't waste a single second, determined to savor every remaining moment before her flight back to Indonesia.They spent time exploring the city, making memories wherever they went. Yet it was the quiet moments that meant the most, like resting at the apartment after a full day of sightseeing.“I really wish Indonesia and the U.S. weren't so far apart. Or… wait,” William said, an idea lighting up his face. “You could just move here with me! You work remotely anyway, right, babe?” His eyes practically beamed with enthusiasm as he took both of her hands in his, leaning close on the couch.Annaliese offered a tender, bittersweet smile. She would have agreed in a heartbeat
Matchmaking Festival 32 Bridge Over Troubled Water
When darkness comes and pain is all around, like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.– Paul Simon•••Living in this house felt like being a contestant on a high-stakes cooking show. Annaliese was given hardly any time to plan the two daily meals. She’d managed to pass the lunch test, but dinner was a whole new hurdle. How she wished she had a time machine to skip ahead a few hours and avoid the stress altogether.After checking the fridge for ingredients, and double-checking that no one had a seafood allergy, she decided to recreate her mother’s signature seafood fried rice.Loaded with oysters, crab sticks, fish balls, and tender calamari, she spent two hours perfecting the dish. She was certain the flavor profile would le
Matchmaking Festival 31 Fight Song
My power's turned on, starting right now I'll be strong. I'll play my fight song.– Rachel Platten•••"Please don't be too hard on her, Mom," William whispered in his mom's ear as he gave her a hug."What are you talking about? Of course, I will be. I want to see her qualities," Meyling retorted loudly. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, indicating her unwavering intention. "Now go home. Let her rest because she will have a long day tomorrow."William exchanged glances with Annaliese and sighed. "Okay. But give me a minute to talk with her. Alone," he requested, emphasizing the last word when Meyling didn't move from her place."Fine." Meyling headed back to her bedroom.As soon as the old lady left, Annaliese grabbed his hands and said, "Hey, don't worry about me, babe. It's alright. I'm positive I'll win her heart." She displayed confidence through her smile."Actually, that's not what I worry about.""Oh? So what is it then?"William pulled her into his embrace. "I'm worr
Matchmaking Festival 30 Mama
Back then, I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood. So now, I see through your eyes, all that you did was love.– Spice Girls•••"How do I look?" Annaliese asked William as they entered the Chens' house. She was feeling nervous about meeting Meyling again.William grinned and gently squeezed her shoulder to reassure her. "You look stunning, babe. Trust me," he replied. “Come on.”They walked to the living room and took a seat.After informing the Chens of their arrival, Mrs. Po returned and inquired, "What would you like to drink?"“I feel like having some lemonade, Mrs. Po,” William mentioned what he wanted without hesitation.“And you, love?” Mrs. Po turned to Annaliese who didn’t even hear the question.William gently touched her hand to get her attention. "Mrs. Po is asking what you would like to drink, babe," he informed her."Ah. I’m sorry, Mrs. Po. I'll just have water," said Annaliese absentmindedly. She was too preoccupied with figuring out what to tell Meyling later.
Matchmaking Festival 29 Just Give Me A Reason
Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough. Just a second, we're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again. – Pink ••• "Hey, Son." David gave William a hug as soon as he saw him and then moved to Annaliese. "And, my future daughter-in-law." They took a seat at the table outdoors since the weather was good. Besides, the open space would be suitable for their serious conversation. "Let's order something first, David suggested. He raised his right hand, asking a waiter to come. "This cafe is well-known for its Instagrammable spots. Anna, you said you work in the travel industry, right? Why don't you take some pictures or videos first?" Both Annaliese and William frowned in wonder. "What? Don't be so surprised. I've learned what Anna's job is ever since she came to our house and told us about it. You know, I want to get to know my future daughter-in-law better," David explained, clearing up their confusion. "So, as a travel vlogger, taking pictures and videos, the

I thought that it would be a long journey. Ba
