She looked at the calendar, and noticed the date. She blinked, as if to make sure that the date would not changed seeing it the second time. It did not. She smiled. How time flies, she thought.
Almost month ago, tomorrow's date, she thought. So fast! Time really do fly when things are doing well and all things sweet, her mind thought. She let her mind wondered back to that time. It was all so unexpected, yet so sweet, so touching.
Already with the slice of cheesecake, the one sole red candle, the sitting facing the calm sea, enjoying the breeze, serenaded by the song, she couldn't had asked for more. Just the two of them, hanging out, chatting as usual, as before. Everything seemed so natural. Felt so natural. As though, the almost 2 months parting was never, she thought.
In a split second, the feeling of regret had overwhelmed her. Why didn't she take the chance before, she had chided herself then. They could have had many more of these before, but instead, she had chickened out and decided that she was not strong or brave enough, to change. She had indeed, fooled herself and made herself believed that she could changed people to be what she had envisioned in her mind. To be the perfect someone for her. To be like The Him now.
Well, it's all over now, surely everything that happened, had a reason, she reasoned, silently in her head. Perhaps, that's was what they had to go through to get to this point, she assured herself. Maybe, those were the challenges they have to face, to understand that they belong together, she cannot help but smile as those thoughts ran through her head.
Right then, just the two of them, enjoying the moment of togetherness. The long-awaited moment together. She smiled, and thanked him, after he finished singing her birthday song. Closing her eyes, she made her wish. He asked to blow out the candle when she was done. She opened her eyes but asked if she could keep the candle burning. More romantic, she had reasoned. He smiled and agreed, but asked her to close her eyes again, in returned. She was bewildered, asking why.
He smiled, but continued to pester her to close her eyes. Just for a while more, he had said, for him. He would not do anything to embarrass her, he playfully assured her. She took a deep breath, and did as he asked. No peeking, he had teased her. And then, a moment later, he asked her to open her eyes.
She was speechless! He was looking at her, smiling, beaming at her. His eyes was so tender, so loving at that moment that she felt like kissing him, there and then. She tried so hard to resist, staring at him with her best, freezing herself, not moving.
Her brain raced but stumbled to find the suitable words to respond to him, and his question. Her heart beat hard, so hard, she thought it might just show through her dress, embarrassing her. He pushed it into her hands, asking to hold it. It was hers, he had said. She mumbled something, but she herself didn't understood what. She was really speechless and unprepared. Uncomfortable yet she knew deep down in her heart, she already had the answer.
It is now resting in it's case, in her laptop bag, following her back home. Waiting, for them. Again, her face carved out a smile, blissful smile.
