Evening.
A designer studio.
Soft lights.
Mirrors everywhere.
White curtains.
Elegant silence.
Jay stood in the trial room.
Heart racing.
Not because of the dress.
But because of him.
Outside…
Everyone waited.
Jeena excited.
Serina smiling.
Jasfer and Keizer sitting back.
Already prepared for drama.
Keifer stood quietly.
Hands in pockets.
Calm.
But watching that door.
Carefully.
The curtain moved.
Slowly.
Jay stepped out.
In the first gown.
Soft pastel.
Flowing.
Simple elegance.
Jeena gasped.
"Beautiful!"
Serina nodded.
"So graceful."
The designer smiled.
"Perfect fit."
Jay didn't react.
Didn't smile.
Didn't turn.
She just…
Looked at him.
Only him.
Waiting.
Keifer looked at her.
Properly.
From head to toe.
A pause.
Then—
"Nice."
Jay's expression stayed the same.
"No."
Silence.
Everyone blinked.
"What?"
Jay shook her head.
"Next."
Jeena frowned.
"But it's so good."
Jay walked back inside.
"No."
Second gown.
Heavier.
Detailed.
More grand.
She stepped out again.
Everyone stared.
"Wow…"
"Perfect bride…"
"Look at her…"
Jay didn't hear any of it.
Her eyes found him.
Again.
"Keifer?"
Keifer tilted his head.
"Too heavy."
Jay nodded immediately.
"Remove it."
Keizer laughed under his breath.
Jasfer shook his head.
"This is not shopping."
Third gown.
Bold.
Modern.
Different.
Jay walked out slowly.
This time…
She hesitated.
Just a little.
Then looked at him.
Without saying anything.
Keifer stared.
Longer this time.
His expression…
Unreadable.
Jay waited.
Silently.
Nervously.
"Keifer?"
He spoke slowly.
"Not you."
Jay nodded.
"Okay."
She turned instantly.
Going back in.
Jeena stopped her.
"Jay!"
Jay paused.
"What?"
Jeena looked at her seriously.
"Do you like anything?"
Jay answered honestly.
"No."
Serina asked gently.
"Or are you just waiting for him?"
Silence.
Jay didn't deny it.
Didn't argue.
She just said—
"Yes."
Everyone went quiet.
Keifer looked at her.
A little surprised.
A little… something else.
Fourth gown.
The final one.
Simple.
Soft ivory.
No heavy work.
No extra shine.
Just… calm beauty.
Jay stepped out.
Slowly.
This time…
She didn't look at the mirror first.
She looked at him.
Straight.
Like she already knew.
Silence filled the room.
Even the others…
Waited.
For him.
Keifer looked at her.
And didn't look away.
Seconds passed.
Long ones.
Then he stepped forward.
Closer.
Right in front of her.
His eyes soft.
Focused.
Certain.
"This one."
Jay's breath slowed.
Her eyes softened instantly.
"You're sure?"
Keifer nodded.
"Yes."
A pause.
Then quietly…
"This is you."
That was it.
Jay smiled.
Soft.
Complete.
"Then I'm done."
No second thoughts.
No comparisons.
No doubts.
Jeena sighed.
"But there were so many options—"
Jay shook her head.
"No."
"I found mine."
Serina smiled warmly.
"So did he."
Keizer leaned back.
"Finally."
Jasfer chuckled.
"This was expected."
Jay looked at Keifer again.
A small smile playing on her lips.
"Happy?"
Keifer smirked slightly.
"Very."
Jay turned to the mirror now.
Finally.
Looked at herself.
Really looked.
And for the first time…
She didn't check the dress.
She didn't adjust anything.
She didn't doubt.
Because she didn't need to.
He had already said it.
And for her…
That was enough.
