The Law of Attraction

Daryl decided to pick up his father from the mansion before going to church. It was a good thing that Harry and his stepmother were both out of the house to attend an important meeting regarding the company matters.

"Where are we going son?" his father asked when Daryl assisted him to wear one his best suits in his wardrobe.

"It's my wedding dad. I'm sorry this is so sudden and I have to take you like this. If you don't want to come then it's okay too," Daryl explained.

"Why wouldn't I? It's my son's wedding! But how come you are only informing me now? I mean we could have prepared and…"

"It's okay dad… What matters is your presence there as my family. We can plan another grand ceremony after everything is settled. For now, we have to rush it before my fiance's father undergoes his surgery," he added.

"Oh alright I understand. What time is the ceremony? We must hurry so we arrive there first." 

"Don't worry dad we still have a lot of time. I will help you change first," Daryl said with a smile. 

"Thank you…" Daryl's father murmured as tears filled his eyes. 

Daryl was taken aback so he asked, "Why are you crying dad?"

Sniffing, Senior Cha whispered, "I'm just grateful that you thought of me on such an important day. Thank you son."

Daryl sighed in relief. He was afraid his father would be uncomfortable to attend such an event in his condition, especially now that he almost turned blind. He could not make a decision until Liam brought it up this morning. Liam suggested that they bring his father, assuring Daryl that he and Jorge would assist his father during the ceremony and the dinner party afterwards.

"I actually hesitated at first dad, but don't get me wrong it's just that I was worried about your condition," Daryl confessed.

Senior Cha smiled and said, "Hmm, you're right. Ever since I lost my eyesight I prefer staying indoors because it's a bit uncomfortable. I feel like I have lost my worth. My episodes of headache are very sudden and painful too. Maybe we can request Liam to send me back home as soon as the ceremony ends."

He did not want to spoil the party after the ceremony so he would just attend the church ceremony.

"Yes dad. Liam and Jorge will send you back whenever you want to go. Thank you for going with me to the church," Daryl commented.

His father chuckled and said, "I'm excited to meet my daughter-in-law. Too bad I won't be able to see how beautiful she is. Later, bring her here okay? You have to bring her here once you shift here. Promise me son… I want to know her better…"

Daryl gulped and whispered, "You mean you want us to live here?"

"Of course, if you're living here then your wife should live here as well. Don't tell me you plan to live separately because of me? Doesn't she want to live here?" his father asked, confused.

"It's not like that. We haven't talked about it yet dad. She's actually busy taking care of her company so I'm not sure…" Daryl subconsciously whispered.

"What's wrong with living here? I believe that it won't affect her work. Are you worried that your stepmother will bully her?" 

"No, I'm not dad…" Daryl quickly answered knowing Kenzie was not someone who could be bullied easily.

"Then please bring her here with you son. I know I have no right to request it but can you grant this small favor to your old man?" his father pleaded.

Daryl sighed and said, "Alright I will bring her here."

His father's eyes lit up as he said, "Thank you so much son. I'm excited to meet her and get to know her more…"

Daryl looked at his father's grateful expression. He was obviously anticipating Kenzie's arrival. Maybe it would be good if Kenzie stays in the Cha mansion along with him. 

"Are you that happy getting a daughter-in-law?" he asked and his father nodded with a roguish grin.

"I will take care of your room guys so you two can move here in two days. I will have to redo your room and give it a feminine touch," his father excitedly said.

He shook his head since he was not even sure if Kenzie would agree to it but then what worried him the most was staying with Kenzie in one room if at all she agreed.

He heaved a long deep frustrated sigh then started helping his father to get changed. 

As soon as his father was ready, Daryl soon left with him together with Liam and Jorge. They arrived first at the church which Cris booked for their wedding ceremony. He took his father to his seat first as guided by the wedding planner.

"Hmm, this so-called rushed wedding doesn't look that rushed to me," Jorge commented with a teasing grin as he elbowed Daryl.

The decorations and floral arrangements inside the church was perfect for a serene and simple wedding ceremony. Everything was well organized since there was a wedding planner.

"Did you bring the documents?" Daryl asked, ignoring Jorge's teasing. Kenzie already told him about it last night and it did not matter to him as long as she would not marry some random guy to grant her father's request.

"Yeah, I will have it registered as soon as you guys sign it so don't worry," Jorge uttered with a wink. 

Daryl only nodded and then looked at his wristwatch. It was almost time to start the ceremony so the wedding planner assisted them to their position, informing them that the bride has already arrived at the venue.

"Don't be so nervous," Jorge teased one last time before he left with Liam to start with the procession for the wedding ceremony.

Daryl sighed and saw all familiar faces that were already inside. He smiled upon seeing Luo who was sitting beside her husband and Lana. Her baby bump was very big and noticeable. He was happy seeing how her life turned out as a family woman.

Then he wondered how his life would turn out as a married man… a family man...
