Happiness is in everything, from the trickling drops of the rain, the frequent beats of the heart, and even in silence, I dare you to invite it in. It is cool and fresh, as deep as the ocean, for it brings forth different waves of emotions.

He might not have enjoyed his whole life at all but he was certainly enjoying the moment.

The moment when he saw her again, the moment when she tried to avoid any eye contact with him, the happiness that showed in her eyeballs, the mixed emotions that his whole body felt and the way everything went still and stable when she finally made an eye contact with him, it was like nothing bad had ever happened to him, he felt safe by mare exchange of looks.

All the time Sameer had spent without her, he did nothing but look for ways to find her.

And ever since he got a clue about where she was, Sameer couldn't help but get restless every now and then. He hesitated only for a while before he found himself running to her.

Sameer took silent steps towards her maintaining the eye contact as if he was afraid she'd disappear again. And when he was close enough to her, he could swear his heart doubled the beats of itself or even tripled.

"You still don't wear natives do you?" Sameer asked and she chuckled while her eyes were still glossy. She found it amusing that he chose that particular sentence to start their conversation after a long while of not seeing each other.

"It's been a while and I look old already, I bet" Sameer said again and she chuckled again, she was finding it hard to make words out of her mouth but she sure was finding his sentences funny.

"It's okay, I'll just do the talking for both of us" Sameer said and she smiled. "Meeting you was a coincidence but this time around, it isn't. I have looked forward for a very long time, the moment I will tell you everything from the very beginning but first, I'll give you these" Sameer said handing her the roses bouquet that was passed by Hasna.

"For the every first time we met at the mall, I fell for you, the second time, I fell harder and the third time I fell hardest till I broke all my bones as the result" everyone present laughed before he continued.

"When you left, I thought I'll never see you again, I thought it was an end for us but I didn't give up on you, I kept looking for you, I believed you were mine from the beginning. When I found out you're here in Abuja, it took me less than 24 hours to come running for you to find you.

Before, I didn't have the courage and neither the guts to tell you about my feelings. But now I do, I know I do. So, Aisha Hidaya Mu'az Ardo, I love you with every soul in me, with every blood in me and with every breath I breathe" Sameer paused with a sigh, it wasn't as difficult as he thought it would be even though the speech he prepared and memorized refused to make itself out of his lips. It was like it got wiped out of his memory entirely.

"I'm not done yet because I have so many things to say to you but little time to use" He added and sighed again.

"I want to take an oath. I, Sameer Mustapha Shamaki, promise to be with you insane of headstrong, confusion, laughter and tears. I will make every moment of your life worth living. An ocean is only a lifetime of deep love, but my love for you wouldn't even be compared to the sky tripled in size. Yes, that's how much I love you and how much I am willing to sacrifice for you" He said as he pulled out the little kit from his pocket and handed it over to her. Hidaya furrowed her brows in confusion and hesitated to accept it but she did and opened it nevertheless.
