Xie Tang looked up and a huge grin broke on his face . Everyone turned to look at the newcomer trio .

Cheng Jia Li walked arm-in-arm with Zheng Li Jie and Deng Chung towards the intended couple .

Xie Tang stood transfixed as a myriad of emotions floated through his entire being . Even at this distance, he could hear her tinkling laughter . He knew if he closed his eyes and concentrated, he would be able to tell her apart from the milling crowd just by her body fragrance . He held a strong control on his mind lest his traitorous heart made him do something stupid, like go and grab the girl who had been born to belong to him, only him .

Mrs . Xie put a hand on her son's arm and worriedly whispered in his ear, "breathe" .

She knew what that girl had meant to him at one point in time . What she didn't know was that her son felt the same about that girl till date .

Summoning a tiny smile for his mother, he braced himself for the people who at one point of time had meant the world to him .

"Someone didn't even want to wait for his friends! You seem to be in a tearing hurry to get engaged", Deng Chung punched Xie Tang, good-naturedly .

The baby fat had dissolved long ago and given away to a strong muscular physique and much to his wife's consternation, women chased Deng Chung all the time . He had been stout during the growing up years . But after lifting weights in the gym consistently over the years, he could give any actor a run for his money in terms of possessing a hot body .

Zheng Li Jie pushed Xie Tang back into the chair and grazed a light uppercut across his jaw, "you really believed that bulls.h.i.+t message that I sent you? I thought that you would have called and abused us right that minute . I lost a thousand bucks to Deng Chung just because of your lack of reaction", he grumbled .

"Hi Liang Mei Zhen, please forgive my friends here . I am Cheng Jia Li, and these two jokers are Zheng Li Jie & Deng Chung . We grew up with Xie Tang in Moganshan . We have just met him after a really long time and hence the boys got carried away, forgetting the occasion for a minute", Jia Li introduced herself to a bemused looking bride-to-be .

Xie Tang disentangled himself from Zheng Li Jie and walked up to greet Cheng Jia Li while the slightly embarra.s.sed 'boys' introduced themselves to Liang Mei Zhen .

Xie Tang extended his hand only to have her jump up and put her arms around his neck and hold him tight, just like always . His breath whooshed out and time stood still . By natural accord, his arms had found the right curve on her waist and his eyes closed, without even informing him .
