2 Chapter 002 - Choosing Husband s
Emma chatted with her mother and three father for a little bit in the dining room while having breakfast. They talked about what had happened that day and how serious her injuries were. She hasn't woken up for a whole week since the accident and everyone in the family have been very worried. After breakfast, Emma went back to her room.
As soon as she got back to her room, she took out the diary that the other Emma had kept and quickly flip through the pages. After finish reading the whole diary, she finally knows why the previous Emma want to learn how to ride a horse. It was all because of a man that she had wanted to impress, that was very stupid of her.
Emma had never dated anyone before back when she was in the other world. All she knows is work hard and earn money, she never understands the heart of a maiden because she thinks love is only for those people that can afford it.
"Emma, sweety are you in here?" Sofia suddenly burst into Emma's room. She looks very excited.
"Mother, please knock first before you enter." Emma looked at this mother of her, she's not used to someone being so close to her. Her parents have passed away when she was very young and she was in the care of her relatives. They didn't weren't too close to each other.
"Eh? But I've never knock before I come in." Sofia had a confused look on her face because her daughter is a little weird today. "And why aren't you calling me mama as you use too anymore?"
"Umm...Mother, I'm not a child anymore, so if I continue to call you mama, I'll sound childish and others will laugh at me. And I'm of age now, so I'm an adult and needs my privacy." Emma is trying to make her mother understands that she's an adult and needs her privacy and she will 'knock' the door next time she comes looking for her.
"Ah….that's right! I've completely forgotten what I was here for! Emma, thanks for reminding me about you are off she now and is an adult. I'm here to let you know that your fathers and I have started looking husbands for you." Sofia completely ignores the part that Emma said she wanted privacy and changed the subject.
"WHAT! Why do I have to take a husband now? I'm only 16 years old!" Emma replies in a hurry.
"Well, it is the law. And it's 'NOT a husband', but 'husbands'! The law states a woman of age must have at least three or more husbands!" Sofia explains to her daughter, she wonders why Emma didn't know something so basic.
"Mother, I'm just sixteen." Emma hopes her mother understands that she's still young and don't want to get married right now.
" I know. You even said it yourself that you are of age, so it's time to start looking. You only have less than a year to find yourself a husband before we get a fine!"
Suddenly, some more memories appear in Emma's head. So it turns out that once a girl turns sixteen years old, she is an adult and needs to start picking her husband(s). They will have one year from their sixteenth birthday to marry her first husband otherwise the family of the girl will get a hefty fine.
After paying for the fine, she'll have another year to pick a husband. If by the age of 18 years old, and she still didn't pick one yet, then the world government will pick one for her. It's usually not very good choices. It's usually those men that are over 25 years old and still didn't get married yet or men that are not clean (meaning they aren't a virgin or was divorced before, etc).
After marrying her first husband, the girl will have until the age of 20 to marry at least two more husbands before she gets a fine and the world government sends her more husbands.
This kind of situation is rare because girls of good family background would avoid it by finding herself, good husbands. But some of the lower class citizens are they lucky because some of them might not be well off enough to choose a good husband to marry and can't pay fine. They'll have to take whoever the world government sends them. If they are lucky, they will get a good clean man that is just slightly older. If they are unlucky, then they will get those unclean men with a not good background.
"Mother, I understand. But can I see the person first before you and fathers decide who I'm going to be marrying?" Emma gave up on her struggle for now since she has been transmigrated to this world, she will have to follow is rule and laws.
" Of course! Mama supports freedom of love! That's why I didn't choose the husbands for your two older sisters, they chose it themselves." Sofia says it very proudly. "We are going to invite a few good families over and throw a party next week, so you can meet them. Of course, the one that you told me about before will be invited too!"
The one that Sofia is referring to is the man that Emma likes, he's also the man that Emma wants to impress by learning how to ride a horse. Emma was going to learn how to ride a horse to impress this man so that he will consider marrying her when they meet again because she overheard heard him saying it once before that he loves horse riding and hopes his future wife can also ride it with him.
Emma signed deeply and said: "Okay, I guess I have no choice."
Sofia remembered she still has something in her hand, so she hands it over to Emma.
"It's for you, you should read and learn from it. This is one of mama's favorite book, I have given one to each of your sisters before too." Sofia hurriedly got up and start running toward the door after handing over the book to her daughter. " I'll go prepare for the party now, bye."
Just like that, her mother happily rushes off. Emma looked at the book in her hands. It's a book with a plain red cover with the title, "Happily Ever After". She opened the book and flip it to the first page. Her eyes almost popped out of her head when she saw what's in it.
The book has tons of drawing of naked bodies in all different kind of sexual positions. Her mother actually gave her a sex guide! Her mother is indeed 'special', though Emma as she puts the book away. She might not have dated anyone before, but she saw movies about it before. One time, she even found her friend watching a porno in their college dorm room. After putting the book away, she lay on her bed to rest. Her body is still weak from the accident, so she needs to rest more.
Time passes by very quickly, it's already one week after Emma had come to this world. Her injuries from before are almost completely healed. And today is the day of the meeting that Sofia has been working hard on. Today is the day of the party, a chance for her to meet her future marriage candidates. Her mother has prepared a very pretty dress for her, for today's special occasion. It's an Asian style one-piece light pink dress that fitted her perfectly. The style actually brought out her perfect body shape.
She got dressed and sat in front of the mirror, trying to do her hair and makeup. She really doesn't know how to do her own her own hair since she's not used to long hair. She was too poor and makeup is considered a luxury that she can't afford, so she had no idea how to do her own makeup either. Since she has very nice long smooth hair, she might as well just leave it down like that. As for makeup, she only applied a little lipstick on her lips. With just the bare minimum of touch up, she actually looks very bright and clean. She gave out an aura that she's a clean goddess that hasn't touch the dirtiness of this world.
She got up and spun in front of the mirror and is happy with the way she looks. Suddenly, she places her hands on her own two nice and big softie on her chest. She thought to herself that not only is she a lot prettier than her old self, but these breasts are so much bigger too! Back when she was still Emma Chen, she is very skinny and has an airport for a chest. (Chinese people likes to call small flat chest as an airport because it's flat and soft)
She had always wanted a bigger chest, but her build was not possible. As a female, she has always envied those women with bigger chests. Now, she finally able to own a pair of very nice big soft ones. She can't help but to touch it and feel it, just to remind herself that this is real! Just as she was thinking to herself while her hands are on her breast, the door suddenly flew open. Emma was so surprised that she releases her hands of those softies and raised her arm up.
"What are you doing, Emma? Those people are here now, come on down and stop wasting time up here." Sofia shouts as she walks into Emma's room.
Emma puts her arms down and turns to look toward the location of the door is, it's her mother no doubt because she's the only one that would burst in here like this.
"Mother, how many times do I have to remind you to knock the door." Emma rolls her eyes at her mother, it seems like her mother can't change this habit of hers.
"Stop talking nonsense! Oh my, why didn't you do your hair and makeup?"
"I like it simple and…"
"We don't have time to do it now, come on, let' go!" Sofia didn't even listen to a word Emma had said, she just grabs her arm and pulls her out of the room.
While walking in the hallway, Sofia didn't forget to tell her daughter to throw away her shyness and head straight for the ones she likes. Of course, it's is easier said than done. Let's not talk about the previous Emma's shyness, but even if she goes straight for the person she likes, she might not get the guy she likes.
First, the person that she's interested in has to like her too. Then, it will be the discussion of the parents, if both sides agree, then they can be together and get married. There's why the previous Emma was trying hard to learn how to the horse to impress the guy she likes, she was preparing for today's meeting. But too bad, she didn't get to attend today's meeting to meet the guy she likes so much.
They have soon arrived at the reception hall, and there were tons of people in there.
"umm….Mother, why is there so much people in there? I thought it was supposed to be a few people." Emma's nervous seeing the reception hall, she didn't expect it to look so fancy. It looks like those rich people that throw big parties on the movies that she's watched before.
"What silly things are you talking about, this is very normal. Some of these people are your three father's business partners or had done business with, they came with their families. Others are our relatives and distant relatives. Now, don't be shy and go on in." After saying that, Sofia held onto one side of Emma's arm and pull her in.
As soon as Emma walks in, many people looked over to see her. After a few seconds, they removed their sight and went back to whatever they were doing. Sofia pulls her daughter over to introduce her to her friends that have sons that are still single. Emma met a few people but she didn't like any of them. She found an excuse to leave the reception hall, as she was walking toward the door, she accidentally went into a young man. He is very handsome and tall but looks like he like the shy and quiet kind. She apologized to him and continues to walk out before he can say anything to her. He only watches her back as she walks out the door.
Once Emma got outside, she walks toward the courtyard and found a quiet sitting area. She took a deep breathe and let it out, she then looks at the direction where the reception hall is. This is really like a dream to her, she never thought that one day she was be attending these upper class's people's parties. She can't get used to it and she would never through such an extravagant party to waste her hard earned money!
Suddenly, Emma heard a sound behind her. It was a man sitting not too far from her and he also looked her way because he heard the sound of Emma moving. The man walked over to Emma and stared at her face for a good couple of seconds and before he opens he mouth to talk to her.
"Hi, my name is Ding Jie-Jun. I hope you don't mind me sitting here with you." The man walked closer to Emma and sit down right next to her.
When she heard that name, she immediately knew who he is. He is the person that the previous Emma likes, someone that she met a few times before when she was younger. Ding Jie-Jun is the son of one of the business partner of her fathers. She didn't know how he will look when he grows up, but when he sat down next to her, she could see his face up close. He is very handsome and looks very similar to the man that she just went into inside the reception hall, they must be brothers thought, Emma.
"I don't mind, my name is Emma Logi." Emma tries to sound calm, but on the inside, she's very nervous. She doesn't know if because he is so handsome that cause her to be nervous around him or is it because this body remembers that person it likes. All she knows is that her heart is pounding like crazy.
"I know you, I met when you were still very little. You might not remember me since it's been a few years."
Oh, the previous Emma remembered you alright. She wants to see you and to impress you so much today that she even got herself killed! Of course, she can't say that to him.
"hm….I do think you look and sound familiar. Is your father one of my fathers' friend or business partners?"
"Our fathers are business partners and also friends. I have visited here twice before and have played with you. You even said you want to be my bride when you grow up." He was saying it happily with a smile on his face.
How could she not remember, it was even written in her diary! But she can't admit to such an embarrassing thing.
"Oh really, I don't remember. I might be too younger back then."
"But I remembered and have waited for you to grow up."
"Wha...what!"
"I didn't want to come to this boring party in the first place, but when I heard that your family is throwing this party because you have already come of age. I immediately accepted the invitation. I was looking around for you but didn't see you so I sat out here to get away from the loud noises of the party."
"I...I see." Emma has no idea what else to say to him. It turns out that he is actually interested in the previous Emma too. I guess the previous Emma work so hard and die for nothing.
Ding Jie-Jun suddenly grab Emma's hand and look her right into her eyes. With a serious tone, he said:
"Would you like to marry me?"
Emma is blown away by his words! She had no idea how to reply to his question. If it was the previous Emma, he doesn't even have to ask and she would beg him to marry her. But she is not that girl anymore, what should she do?
"um….I don't…"
Before Emma can reply to his question, Ding Jie-Jun suddenly kissed her on her soft lips. It was a light kiss but slowly turns heavy and rush. Emma completely froze, she had no idea what to do since this is the first time she has been kissed by someone. But very soon, she forgot what she's thinking and continues with the kiss. It felt so good that she didn't want it to stop. He slowly uses his tongue to open her mouth and slip his tongue inside her mouth to tangle with it and to suck all her sweet juices out. He finally released her when they both were about to run out of oxygen.
He then got up and look seriously at her and said:
"Think about my question, I will talk to my parents and have them talk to yours too." He then left to go back into the reception hall, leaving the still absentminded Emma sitting there.
When Emma comes back to sense, her whole face is red and hot. She can't believe she has been kissed! A very handsome man had just asked her to marry him and he kissed her. It has to be a dream, right?
As soon as she got back to her room, she took out the diary that the other Emma had kept and quickly flip through the pages. After finish reading the whole diary, she finally knows why the previous Emma want to learn how to ride a horse. It was all because of a man that she had wanted to impress, that was very stupid of her.
