Chapter 2- The Bridge

HER POV

Fastforward to Year 2020

Teett.. My message alert sounded.

Woow, so sexy. Sir Dan, a friend of mine commented. He sent me a  photo I just uploaded in my Instapix. I was lying on my stomach on the sand with one foot up and wearing my two piece bikini. 

Haha... Just a day out with my cousins at the beach.

And here's another one! Sir Dan sent another message right after I uploaded a photo of me standing in the two piece bikini turning my back to the camera and raising my arms to the sky.

Haha. I'm single, ready to mingle that's why. I responded to his message while laughing aloud at his fast reaction to my photos. 

Hmmm... I might have someone to recommend. Another message from him. 

Hahaha. Sure. I'm ready to accept recommendations. I'm starting to feel giddy.

I'm not kidding.  - Dan

Neither am I. Bring it on! I typed and sent.

Maybe he thought I was kidding because of my "ha-ha" but I could try this style of accepting recommendation if I could indeed find true love. I'm tired of constantly having short termed relationships from guys I meet at dating sites.

So what is your criteria? Age preference? - he texted again.

Hmmm... Age is not problem..not too young.. I'm more already an adult, I guess that's what matters.. hahaha

I want two-in-one, a driver and a sweet lover. I added.

I'm not choosy with faces..Smiles always bring out beauty with everyone.. and very important, he can pass the scrutiny of Madam C! Hahahaha I couldn't really think of what I prefer. I like men who are smart. I find brilliance sexy. Madam C is my common friend with Sir Dan who is in her 70's. I adored that lady like a second mother. She is elegant and graceful and nothing passes her eyes when it comes to people's bearing. Because of her, Sir Dan and I were able to work in the same company before I transferred to my current one.

Hahaha. That was all he could respond. I think I have a person in mind.

It took 3 days for Sir Dan to get back at me. 

Hi. I think I found a match for you.  I can't believe what I was reading.

Woow! That was fast! I replied to his message.

Can I have a sneak peek? haha. I also wanted to know something about the guy before meeting him. 

Sir Dan forwarded a link to the guy's instapix portfolio. Looking at the link alone, I can already know the profession.

Ohh my.. A lawyer! I sent to Sir Dan my reply. So many thoughts  seem to run in my mind but nothing in particular actually. Like everything suddenly became jumbled. I had a view of his face. A bit mature but still good looking. 

Of course! What do you think I'd send a cheap guy? haha I can sense he was excited also for this tandem.

Hahahaha. So what is his marital status?  A very important question for me. I don't want to ruin a family and at his age and with his looks, he can't be a bachelor still.

Separated. That was the reply I got.

Legally? my follow up question. I don't want anyone pulling my long hair when I'm already dating the guy. 

Not sure. Sir Dan said.

Uh oh! Someone might just pull my long beautiful hair one day. hahah. I tried to put in a joke my actual fear.

No. He and his wife had been estranged for a long time. Almost 10 years not living together. Sir Dan explained his situation. 

I see. So I presume they have kids. Have the kids accepted their fate?  I tried to know more the safety zone. 

Yes. An short immediate response.

I don't want to have the same fate as my aunt. She was the other woman of someone. Although they lived together and had a kid, she wasn't secured of her lovelife.  I didn't mention anymore my dad who had another woman and ruined our family's life. 

Do I know your aunt? Sir Dan asked. 

Probably. She was quite famous during her younger years. Do you know the beautiful lady in Galaxy Cinema House? - . Me texting

Hmm. The lady with a fair skin and long black hair? - Sir Dan

Bingo! No other. ;)  - I sent my response with a winking smiley.
