[Extra 5: Hugo and Kiara II]
Relationships often started with a date or courtship, with the man expressing his interest in the woman. But Kiara and Hugo's relationship was something she would call strange.
He didn't confess; he didn't even tell her he liked her.

So, the day Hugo finally confessed, it was something she should've expected.
Standing in front of the civil marriage bureau, Kiara slowly turned her head to her side. There, standing next to him, was Hugo, donning a formal polo shirt and slacks.
"This… this is the party we're going to attend?" she asked in disbelief, scoffing.
He blinked innocently. "No."
