Court.
"At 11am today, Sunday, April 22nd, 2021. We proceed with the case of Breach Of Promise Of Marriage between the family of Rowe and Dia Roshwella."
The court reporter called and sat.
"Why the fuck does this prick keep saying 'the family' of Rowe? We ain't no fucking family."
Max cussed softly, sure to keep it between himself and those who were seated beside him. He was quite glad that day, that he wasn't pigeonholed between Albert and Claire again. He was seated next to Lancy, at the beginning of the bench. The first person on the bench.
He looked to his back slightly and caught the heavy glaze of Maria, Dia's surrogate mother eating at him. He smiled at her thinking of what the problem was. But then he remembered what he had said earlier. He looked away from her; knocked out of the present state by the voice of the Judge,
"A meeting with the Jury brings up the need for this house to request the p
Court."I'm in the court right now."Rowe's husky voice spread across the room, at least up to an extent where he could be heard by his ex wife and ex children. He was used to noise, he didn't really know how to speak in a small voice. Made him uncomfortable."Bet you're not wasting my time with that creepy voice of yours."He stood up from the Plaintiff block and walked off it to the public door. He walked through the aisle not giving an eye to any of his ex family. He had the luxury of just few minutes before the judge would walk in.He walked out of the Court and stood at the front. He saw the Judge walking in another direction towards the entrance she ought to take; the backdoor."Speak to me. The Judge just arrived."He listened for a while, his phone pressed to his ear. Then he yelled,"What Cargo? What shipment? Are you fucking with me right now?"The voice coming over the phon
Few days later."How much is the bail?"Lancy asked, staring at the officer who obviously was calculating. He had looked her from the head to the toe to figure out what she was worth. She was also ready for him. Some corrupt officers."Based on the situation of the case, we should let her go freely. Since the Plaintiff and the Prosecuting attorney couldn't defend their stances. Therefore, since nothing was held against her, it turned out an in-house unanimous judgement. So we would --""Are you saying the bail is free? She must be weary by now. I don't have a time for the stories please."Lancy's impatient voice fueled the rage on her face. She tried to tame it as the officer smiled at her,"You can go. The bail is free. Take her only, the other man is to serve terms and could be bailed several days after."Lancy sighed and brought out her purse. She counted five $1000 bills and handed it to the officer. 
In a Plane."Are you fine?"Lancy was looking at the side of Dia's face. The latter was looking through the window as though no one was seated beside her. It could only mean one thing; she had been swallowed by her thoughts."Dia?"She touched her gently, shaking her arm. Dia looked at her,"Sorry. What did you say?""Is it Grandma? If you have a change of mind we could always go back. I thought leaving Seattle was all that you wanted."Dia looked to the front. One of the flight attendants, the one who had helped her with her luggage just walked past. She didn't know why she felt drawn to the lady. She ignored the urge and looked back at Lancy."Don't be ridiculous. This isn't a car or bus where you can jump on and off."Lancy smiled then said,"Of course, but we can stop at the nearest airport and find another flight back to Seattle.Though it might take time."Dia turne
Wisconsin."Aren't you going for no show? It's been weeks now you've been at home?"At the question, Lancy turned to her in the couch, shooting the contemptuous gaze,"Are you sick of me and want to get rid of me?"Dia chuckled, eating from the pint of popcorn."If you were told this, wouldn't you smack the person? How would I possibly want to get rid of you or is it vice versa?"Lancy shook her head and rolled her eyes,"You sure know how to play around words."Dia sniggered then concentrated on the Netflix series on the plasma TV. They were watching a Korean TV program; The King: Eternal Monarch.Then Dia said,"But seriously, Wisconsin seemed not have gotten enough of you yet. At least I know that there are shows you have. Why didn't you want to go? Speaking of the money."Lancy moved closer to her on the couch. She put her palm on Dia's stomach which had swelled, the
Dia and Lancy. After 8 months."See what's out today?"Lancy's voice came as soon as she closed the door. Her baggy long coat with fur lacing its neck had white substances all over it. Dia didn't want to guess wrongly. She asked instead."Welcome, love. What?"Lancy had two bags drawn in her hands and hurried to where Dia was in the living room. She dropped the bags and stretched out her hand before Dia."What?"Dia hesitated firstly but then grabbed her hand. Lancy bent over her to help her up as Dia grunted. Her stomach was now protruding, ready for delivery.They both walked gradually to the window as Lancy fiddled with the window pane. She revealed the dances of snow fluttering like the leaves of trees."Woah."Dia gasped. Lancy pecked her on the cheek and nodded her head. She muttered,"I know right. It's the first snow in this winter. I feel like there is something
Several months later. A Procession. Wisconsin."Rather majestical."A man dressed in black suit, white shirt and blue tie nudged at his counterpart sitting next to him, to whom he has addressed the speech. The other fellow shot him a rather ambiguous stare, feigning a borrowed smile then looked away past the sway of the heads to the front of the congregation where the Priest and the groom, next to him were standing.Twas a wedding procession, time had been quite quick and hastening. The chariot of time had filled the atmosphere with its neighs and grunts. And fate had just few parts played.Dia had raised her child independently, of course with the help of Lancy and with her child now 6 months old, she could go around for a while, leaving her child with an aupair who claimed to be the cousin of Lancy. Well, Lancy hadn't said otherwise.Lancy had been as supportive as ever but she had been more at the Outlook of
Under a large tree, by a lake. "And that was how Dia lived her life." Eloisa, the old woman, stopped talking, her weak eyelids flickering, going from one youth to the other. She could read several emotions on the faces of the eleven students. Especially the girls, they were very much displeased. She could tell why, she tried to make a sense, "I'm certain that majority of you wanted the story to end with Max and Dia married. After all, Max did try enough. He was the poor guy who wouldn't give up on a lady who didn't take a fancy in him. But well, I have a question to ask." She paused, as her wrinkled face and weak eyes watched the frown spread across some of the faces of the people melted into anxiety and curiosity. They would be the first college students she would be telling that story to. As soon as she had their curiosity, she found her pace, "Let's talk about your first love. Soo-hyang, if you do not mind, could you tell u
Dia Wealene."Now to the main business of the day."Gregory Lancelot, The CEO of the Multiforce group of firms started, standing on the marble podium before the fleet or say, rows of other CEO's of the state of Colorado."May Dia Wealene, the CEO of the Cleavink Ideal Prospects step forward?"At the call, I stood up and looked around as echoes of claps and whistles and murmurs supposed to accompany me to the Podium filled the room.I could catch the sight of the new CEO of the Joist Groups. Even though we all know that she doesn't really like me, but we should all feel the moment. Not them, not I, would ruin the day. My day.I took the well-thought steps I've mastered before my $10,000 mirror. My $15000 silver heels tapping at the floor as my right limb goes ahead to be complemented by the light. My red body-hugged gown doing its work.The rays of camera lights flashing on my face are a
