"You should really date that guy who's always with you. You seemed so smitten with each other afterall!", Ai chuckled as she insisted the idea to Tin while eating her second bowl of rice with her favorite dish.
"Don't be stupid! How many times do I have to tell you that I only see him as a little brother? He's younger than me and just a close friend, okay?", Tin exclaimed.
Well to be honest, Tin did tried to ask Sen Rui's preferences but too bad, she didn't met most of the criteria.
"...Sen Rui is a religious man afterall", she thought while nibbling the chips from Ai.
On another thought, "...Ai has the same religion with Rui, so why not try to match-make these two?", Tin grinned inwardly as she happily stared at Ai while scheming the next step.
This weird gal, is a very down-to-earth person. Despite the big differences between their career and profession, in just a few months of knowing her, she was already considered as a friend, a confidante and a big sister of whom, she had never thought of befriending at first as she was intimidated by her.
"...Well since I love this young lad as a little sister, might as well set them together with my so-called little brother?"
Now, who would've thought that these two will date a month after such suggestion? Tin slapped her forehead after realizing what she had done.
"...Was this really fate? Will this really be the start of a perfect relationship they both dreamed of?", as Tin hoped for the best for both of them.
"You guys should go ahead, I will be rendering over time today because it's 15!" Tin pushed them away and avoided her harsh role being a "FOREVER CHAPERONE" friend and waved goodbye.
Rui managed to date his dream crush, Nana Ai, the brainy but perky yet quite eccentric gal from Human Resources Department. As Tin slowly fed him details about her background, he started to acknowledge Ai's greatness. A smart lady graduated as Accountancy and was from the infamous Special Science High School in the suburbs.
"...How the hell did a normal dweeb like me managed to date such gem?", he grinned as he walked proudly beside his *ehem* "GIRLFRIEND" hand-in-hand.
"...Isn't the phasing too quick? Should I really settle with someone whom my parents would love, not for someone I considered ideal?", little did Rui had thought about Ai's worries.
In fairness, her parents only wanted her to be happily married with the same faith. As they were sure that God will not let his children be swayed by with bad people. They believed that most members with the same faith are good and just.
"...well I did prayed for this. I prayed hard as I was tired of meeting wrong people and always starting relationship from square one. The fact that he has the same religion and would pick a weird girl like me inspite of his handsomeness... I guess this is God answering my prayers." Ai tried to convince herself.
