1080 Words
Few days have passed.
Siren is currently standing infront of the famous infrastructure in Japan, which is also known as the Tokyo Tower.
Today is their first shooting for the reality show. This is also the day she'll meet her "Future Husband."
Her first task is to find her mysterious husband.
"---Siren, you have to go to the Main Observatory inside the Tokyo Tower. Your husband is already waiting for you there." one of the staff gave her some instructions.
The staff also gave her an envelope and they asked her to open it and read the letter inside.
"Please go inside the Tokyo Tower and take the elevator. The elevator will take you up to the Main Observatory. Your husband is waiting for you. Please enjoy the 360 degrees panaromic view of Metropolitan Tokyo." Siren read the instructions for her "First Mission."
She faced the camera, as she lets out a polite smile.
"Okay, let's go and find my future husband."
Afterwards, she walked inside the Tokyo Tower's Main Lobby. Two camera crews started following her...
After a few minutes, Siren was already inside the elevator.
Once the elevator door opens, she saw the amazing view of the Metropolitan Tokyo from the Main Observatory...
"Wow! What a fantastic view!" Siren happily commented.
"You can rent a binocular so that you can have a clearer view of Metropolitan Tokyo." one of the staff informed her.
She was about to go and rent a binocular to have a better view of the city when she suddenly heard a man's voice...
"Hi. You must be my future wife."
=================
Siren froze from her position when she heard that deep, baritone voice. Her heart started beating like crazy when she heard him say; "My Future Wife."
Siren slowly wheeled around to see who it was. She saw a very tall man, standing infront of her. He has a sleek black, straight hair, that was styled into a clean-cut. He has a pair of warm, brown eyes, and his nose can be likened to a nose from a Greek sculpture...
Siren stopped surveying her husband when she heard him speak again...
"I'm so sorry for being late. I was supposed to come here before you but I had to attend a short meeting. I really apologize for making you wait." he sincerely apologized to her.
Siren almost forgot how to breathe when the man smiled at her! She's overwhelmed with so much emotions while looking at her husband...
"Are you alright?" the man suddenly asked her.
Siren tried her best to remain calm. She needs to calm herself so that they can have a proper interaction..
"Yes, I'm alright. Are you my future husband?" she mustered all of her courage to speak.
The man's smile grew wider after he heard her question.
"Yes, nice to meet you. My name's Kai Katori, but you can just call me "Kai." the man politely introduced himself. He extended his hand towards Siren for a proper handshake.
Siren stared at her husband hand...
"I'm Maria Siren Gonzales. Nice to meet you, too." Siren accepted the man's handshake.
She felt the flow of electricity all over her body as she touched the man's hand.
"I think we better find another place to talk over a cup of coffee." said Kai.
"Yes, I think that's a good idea." Siren agreed.
They walked to the elevator together, and as usual, the cameramen followed them again to capture their every move...
When they got out from Tokyo Tower, they were again given a "Mission Card" by one of the staff. This time, Kai read the letter from the envelope.
"This is the perfect time for you to get to know each other before getting married..."
After reading the letter, Kai looked at Siren again, while smiling.
"Well, for the meantime, shall we go to a nearby coffee shop? We can talk there over a cup of coffee." he suggested.
"Yes, that's perfect. We can relax and talk about many things while drinking coffee." Siren nodded in approval.
They went to a certain coffee shop, and Siren was secretly impressed when Kai opened the glass door for her.
"Aww, my fiancée's such a gentleman..." Siren thought to herself, as she feels giddy with excitement.
"Thank you." she smilingly thanked her future husband.
"My pleasure." Kai smiled back at her.
Kai asked for her order, and afterwards, he gallantly went to the counter to order their coffees...
After a few minutes, he went back to their table, while holding a tray, laden with coffee mugs.
"Here's your Café au lait, and it's black coffee for me..." Kai announced, as he puts down the tray on the table...
After half an hour...
"---My father is a businessman, and my mother was a former International model, but she already retired from modelling, so she decided to have her own Couture business. And well, as for me, I'm an actor here in Japan, and I'm very blessed and grateful that I have a regular job... And that's all about me. So, how about you? Tell me about yourself..." Kai encouraged his future wife.
"I'm a struggling actress who dreams to become famous in the near future. It has been my dream to act, dance and sing infront of the cameras, but I also want to become popular because I want to have a steady income to support my own family. My father passed away many years ago, and as a result, I became the breadwinner. I'm doing my best for my mother and my twin siblings..." Siren relayed.
Siren caught Kai staring at her again while smiling. She suddenly blushed, and she pretended drinking her Cafe Au Lait because she couldn't look at Kai straight into his eyes...
"Calm down, Siren. This is just a reality show, so you don't have to feel this way..." she reprimanded herself, as she was trying to regain her composure...
=======================
They finally finished their first shooting day.
Siren is currently doing an "Individual Interview," wherein they need to relay their opinions and feelings about their partners.
"---So, what was your first impression with your future husband?" the Producer asked her, as the camera continues to roll.
"Well, my first impression of Kai was --- he's so handsome. He's such a gentleman as well. What really impressed me is he's such a good talker and listener! There were no dull moments while we were talking to each other..." Siren happily said.
