As the day of the results loomed closer, Arie and Sky found solace in each other's company, cherishing every precious moment they had together. With each passing hour, the weight of anticipation grew heavier, but they refused to let it dampen their spirits.

Seated side by side on a sunlit bench in the park, they shared stories and laughter, basking in the warmth of each other's presence. Arie couldn't help but smile as Sky recounted tales of her penchant for shedding tears over the smallest of things—a touching commercial, a heartfelt song, even a particularly heartwarming moment in a movie.

"It's endearing," Sky remarked, his eyes twinkling with affection. "Your empathy and sensitivity are part of what makes you so special, Arie."

Blushing at the compliment, Arie playfully nudged Sky's shoulder. "You're just saying that because you've seen me cry over a puppy adoption video," she teased, laughter bubbling up from deep within her.

Their conversation soon turned to more serious matters, and they found themselves reflecting on the journey they had shared together. It had been a year and a half since they had first started dating—a whirlwind of laughter, love, and countless memories that had woven their hearts together inextricably.

As they walked hand in hand along the winding paths of the park, Sky couldn't help but steal glances at Arie, his heart swelling with love and admiration for the woman who had captured his heart. Tomorrow marked not only his birthday but also their 1.5-year anniversary—a milestone worth celebrating in style.

"So, Arie," Sky began, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "What do you have planned for tomorrow? Any surprises up your sleeve?"

A secretive smile played at the corners of Arie's lips as she glanced at Sky, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Ah, now that would be telling, wouldn't it?" she replied coyly. "But let's just say, you won't be disappointed."

With a shared laugh and a sense of anticipation hanging in the air, they continued their stroll through the park, their hearts light and full of hope for the future. And as they watched the sun dip below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the world, they knew that whatever the future held, they would face it together, hand in hand, forever united in love.
