Part 7: It's Beautiful

She's dragging me to somewhere while I was having a hard time on walking with a blindfold over my eyes. I stumbled for a countless time but there's she, supporting me as I walk. I don't know what's up onto this and I'm just relying on her.

"Can we walk a little slower, the trail is kinda sloppy-" I said as I as stumbled once again. "Oh, yeah! Sorry... I was just excited..." she replied with a blissful tone that made me curious even more. So, I spoke, "May I know what's about this, and where are we going, please?"

"Not when you explain to me how this will still be a surprise if I'll tell you." She responded as I frowned, "Oh, come on..."

"Careful... a little more..." she said while holding my hand and leading the way. "Alright, we're here!" She removed my blindfold and cheered, "Tada! How's it?"

"It will be better if I have my eyeglasses on..." I answered while squinting my eyes. "Oh sorry, here..." she handed me those, and as I wear them, a beautiful gazebo flapped the view.

The gazebo was covered with vines which blossomed with some violet flowers, been decorated with ribbons and colorful blossoms which matching the scenery of nature. I got mesmerized as I spoke, "I haven't seen this gazebo before, it's beautiful..."

Standing amazed, I asked, "You decorated this?" She just smiled as she held my hands then pulled me into while answering, "Yes!"

"You're actually good at decorating..." I said as I roamed my eyes inside. "Yeah... I'm fond on decorating something. Yet in real life, I was too busy to have time for my hobbies. I was helping my dad with our company while studying college. Hence, lately I always feel like having no freedom at all..." she stated while we're taking a sit. I just looked at her and was silenced with the information.

"But don't mind it. For now, I merely want us to cherish the moment..." she added that I smiled as response. She placed a picnic basket on the small table between us and took some snacks in it. With that, I just came to realized that this girl has learned a lot from me and gotten so far upon cooking. I'm kinda proud...

Seeing these themed mushroom-shaped macarons, I spoke, "What a great product performance- you're making me proud..." she smiled in return as she took one and fed me. "Indeed, tasty- ..."

It's been a week and there's a lot of things happened. I must say I'm falling in love with her each of the day. Being with her in a second is more than having a thousand pages in a hundred hours. She's just worth of time and attention.

After having a snack, I found myself staring at her while she's happily chasing butterflies on the field not so far from here. She really is enjoying the borderless freedom upon this place. I can sense her lively spirit as she returned smiling and running approach to me. Then she held my hand and pulled me with her, leading our way through the flowery meadow until we reached a hill. There, we found a tree so we stopped by and decided to rest under it.

She leaned back in the tree, so did I. We were enjoying the images drawn by the clouds when she invited me to lay down on her lap. Of course, I didn't refuse, it's a golden chance so why would I? She played my hair while I was closing my eyes in the moment.

I haven't ever imagined this kind of feeling before. I was like resting in the heaven's nest, embraced by the soft cottons of clouds. I couldn't ask for more than being with her. She's my cozy consolation, my morning sun, a warm blanket covering me against my cold, harsh reality.
