"Jennet!"
All four figures jumped at her and hugged her tightly at the doorway. Laughter filled the entire villa as soon as they let go of each other.
Jennet gaped with disbelieve. "You guys are here? But how? I can't believe this!" She said with big eyes.
Her close female friends from high school had come to give her a surprise visit after so many years. She was even more surprised that they found out about her new home address!
She had lost contact with them after they went their separate ways to look for a job. Well, they didn't go to university but entered a special school that had the most difficult grading in their country. The school fee was low and affordable but, the examination was too difficult to pass.
Though you're best students back in high school, however in this school, you will never get any best score because the examination was just too strict and too difficult. Most of the best students will not dare to enter the school and went straight to university and paid more for school fee.
All four women hugged her tightly once again and giggled. "We followed your car all the way from the supermarket." Explained one of them.
"Look at you, you're so much different from when you were in high-school," Rosey said to her and smiled widely. "You've become more pretty than before." She added.
Rosey was a bit shorter than them but she had a very curvy body and was wearing a provocative pic knee-length dress matching her pic laced high heels. She had a small chin and she had big beady eyes. Well, she loved to wear big contact lenses to make her look more like a teenage girl from the anime world.
Jennet laughed and shook her head. "No, I am still the same as before." She said.
The other women glanced inside the villa. Shireen, the one who was the tallest among them said, "Wow, you got a villa this big. You must have been too loaded now after our last meeting years ago." She looked around with envy in her eyes.
She was a woman with blonde hair and her eyes were unexpectedly light yellow and she had bleached coloured skin, making her slightly different from the rest.
"Not really. I saved up money for years to have this place all to myself." Jennet explained and welcomed them into the living room.
All four women sat down on the long sofa and can't stop feeling excited looking at how luxurious her villa is.
"What do you do now?" Asked Belle, the third woman who had long black hair. Her eyes were brownish and she had cute dimples on both of her cheeks.
"I worked at a travel agency now," Jennet replied.
Avina the slightly plump among them but taller than Jennet, asked a question, "Didn't you sign up for a job as an accountant before?"
Jennet shook her head. "I didn't. I dislike numbers. So, I refused the offer." She answered and smiled.
"But, I thought you took a job as a doctor since you're the best students in our school and since your parents wanted you to become one," Belle said. "How come you refused all the good job?"
Jennet shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe because I wanted to experience slightly different profession than what I had learnt before."
Rosey shook her head. "Well, it was such a waste that you refused all the good job."
"Well, let's talk later but do you guys need to drink anything as long as it is not alcohol?" Jennet changed the topics of their conversation.
"Why no alcohol? We need it more for our reunion like this." Rosey said with a wide smile.
The rest nodded their heads in agreement. "Yeah, we've come all the way from Country F to see you here. You came to such a far place to live." Avina said with a long face.
Jennet stood up and smiled. "Well, I don't drink anything alcoholic. I was about to prepare for a tea break before you rang the doorbell. Let's all enjoy tea break together."
"I'm in!" Belle raised her hand. She stood up making the rest frowning.
"Why are you agreeing for a tea break?" Shireen asked sounded so sullen.
Belle snorted. "Haven't I told you in the car that I am currently pregnant for two months now. I can't risk having a miscarriage." She explained.
Jennet gasped at Belle. "You're pregnant?!" She asked with wide eyes. Her eyes roamed the flat belly of her friend. Her heart paced intensely.
Belle nodded her head and smiled widely. "Yup. I have been married for two years already and currently pregnant for two months." She said.
"Yeah, we are all already married but we're not pregnant yet. She's the lucky one to enter motherhood soon." Avina said and winked at Belle.
Jennet looked at the other women and smiled, "Wah, I didn't know you're all already married. I am speechless. So, who are your spouses?" She asked again, getting more eager.
Rosey stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk later. We are parched after our long journey."
Jennet smiled. "Okay, let's go to the kitchen then. We can talk more while having our tea break."
She showed them the kitchen. They were quite surprised looking at the contemporary blended with modern design.
Jennet prepares a pot of Earl Grey tea and poured for each of them. Then, she placed a few plates of cookies in front of them.
"Well, I don't have any fancy cake because my tea break had always been simple." She explained with a warm smile. "But, please enjoy this tea break."
"This will do Jennet. Don't worry too much." Said Shireen and put a cookie into her mouth before munching it slowly.
Belle looked around and looked at Jennet's left hand but there was no ring, "Well, we have been dying to ask but are you living here with your boyfriend? Because we saw a man was with you." She said with a smile.
Jennet nearly spurts out the tea that she had just sipped slowly into her mouth. She coughed softly and wiped her lips with a napkin.
"I don't have a boyfriend yet." She was about to explain but then Hue suddenly emerged at the entrance of the kitchen. He was all smiling widely as if he heard what they are talking about.
His sudden appearance startled all the women who were sipping tea on their seat. On their faces, there was a terror as if they had just met with an alien.
Even Jennet had gone pale and can't stop gulping down her uneasiness. Why did he appear at this moment?!
Shireen was the one who broke the silence with a giggle of delight, "Oh my, what a handsome boyfriend you got for yourself now. Come here handsome!"
She trotted towards him and took his hand in her and pulled him towards the table. The rest smiled even more widely at him.
Belle nudged Jennet and said, "What a surprised that you lived with your boyfriend. Did your parents know you're living with him? I thought you came from a strict family that forbade unmarried woman living together with an unmarried man."
Jennet kept mum beside her. She just eyed Hue who had just sat between Rosey and Shireen. At the same time, she was wondering why haven't her friends go crazy like the rest of the ladies who laid their eyes on him. They appeared normal and nothing was out of the ordinary about their behaviour.
'Well, maybe different people had a different approach towards his charm? Maybe...' She inhaled a deep breath.
"Jennet?" Belle pinched her side.
Jennet turned at her and shook her head, "No, he's not my boyfriend." She replied. "He's really not my boyfriend."
Rosey turned her face towards Hue with a smile of mischief, "Dear handsome, what's your name and what are you to her since she denied that you're her boyfriend. I am Rosey." She said then, she introduced the rest to him. "Belle, Avina and Shireen."
Hue smiled even more widely, "I am Hue Hedo and I am Jennet's husband."
Right at that very moment, Jennet cupped her face and sighed deeply. Goodness, now I have lots of explaining to do!
All four women gasped in surprised. They all eyed Jennet who was cupping her face on the table.
Belle immediately pinched her arm. "You're so cruel for hiding your marriage!"
"Yeah, you didn't even invite us to your wedding. Are you trying to hide your husband forever?" Shireen poked at her looking so furious.
Jennet lowered her hands and looked at the widely smiling faces before her. "Well, actually, our marriage is..."
"We're actually newlyweds." Hue interrupted her again. "We're married for not even a week yet." He added with a smile.
He gazed towards Jennet with a smirk of malice. 'Wife, if you're trying to deny our relationship, I won't let it happen. Hehehe...' His heart laughed.
Once again, the four women got even more excited over the discovery of her marriage. They swarmed her and pinched her cheeks with envy.
"Look at you now! Looking too cute to have a handsome husband like Hue. You need to spill every detail now. We want to know about everything from your first meeting and how you ended being married." Avina said and shook her shoulders.
"Yes, yes! I can even write a novel about your love story." Belle said and giggled happily. She can't help but jump with excitement.
"Take it easy Belle. You're pregnant." Shireen said and pulled her to sit down beside Jennet.
