Today is the day that Mr. Fabian and I will have our conversation. I called him yesterday to see if we could talk, and he was very interested, even asking if I wanted opinions on the rings. I just chuckled and told him that I would be over at his house tomorrow morning around 9:30, and he said he would be waiting for my arrival.I must admit that I was perspiring a lot because I was worried about his reaction. He may act differently over the phone than in person, and since she is his only daughter, I can only imagine what was going through his mind at the time. Nevertheless, I have hope because I know that he will realize how much I care for her and that all I need is his approval for us to get married; everything else will depend on Gabby's intentions.
When I got there, he was waiting for me outside his house. I approached him and he gave me a hug, thereby allowing me inside. Breakfast was waiting for us, and my body began to relax a little. We began eating and talking, and we had a brief conversation about our week. After we finished, I started to help him clean up the kitchen, and he requested me to go on a walk with him.
The stroll was rejuvenating; we discussed a wide range of topics, including Gabby's mother, her passing, his regrets about never seeing her again, and the impact her death had on Gabby. He told me a lot about her life that I knew but didn't fully comprehend; there are many truths in her story that I can't explain, but I know that she is the strongest woman I have ever known to be able to smile through the unforgettable pain, and if I didn't lover her now, I guess I wouldn't be. By the time we returned to the house, I already understood what he meant; he didn't have to say it out loud.
We returned home, it was around two p.m., Mr. Fabian ordered some food and we went back to our conversation, I can't lie, we have a lot in common with each other, I love how much he cherishes his family and cares for his daughter, he is an inspiration for all, by the time the food arrived, Mr. Fabian was upstairs looking for something to give me, he said he was holding it for a special occasion, and today seems like it is, I give the delivery guy the money and tell him to keep the rest. While putting them down, he came down with a little box in his hand and a huge smile on his face.
Here open it, he handed me the little box, while opening it, my eyes stayed glued on it, my heart almost stopped, right inside the box is a beautiful diamond ring, with a little green gold in the top of it, it was so beautiful, it screamed Gabby's name on it, I look at Mr. Fabian, his eyes staring at the box also, his eyes gleaming with joy, as he approached me, he started to cry, that was my wife's wedding ring, ever since Gabby was a child, she always wanted to marry with that ring, me and her mother even accepted the fact that if one day she ever will get marry, that ring will be gifted to her as a wedding gift, as her mother wishes I give you that ring as a promise to cherish my daughter as much as your heart desires, but if you ever feel like your heart desires someone else's, please bring her back to me, I will not judge you, but please don't give her a more broken heart than she deserves. So, as a broken soul, please, he begged, love her for me, she everything that I have, and as a blessings, here my wedding ring, which he slid inside my left wedding finger, while holding my hands he placed them on his lips, kissing them while blessing us with long life and pleasant memories.
After the conversation ended, I place the box inside my left pocket and hold it there until I arrive inside my car, I don't want to spoil it for Gabby by accident, I want to make it as special as I can, she is my world and I want her to feel it, I haven't told anyone else yet, I am waiting until we return from the trip, I plan on talking with my dad when I get there, he knows England better than I do, so he could help me pick out the best place for the proposal, and yes, I already told him about wanting to go all the way with Gabby, and he has been very supportive of my decision, he even cried, I just laughed of how childish he was about it, talking about him being a grandpa, I told him to be patient and wait in it, and to be honest, I am thrilled about it all, Gabby dreams of always being a mother, she brought those conversations every now and then, and I intend to make her dreams come true; she has suffered greatly, and throughout this and future lifetimes, I intend to nurture her as she deserves.
My heart beats so fast, as I drive home, my eyes shifted from time to time at the area where I placed the little box, I planned to get it out when it was the right time, in two weeks we will be leaving for England, I told Gabby about it last night, she was thrilled, I was so happy, but knowing that in a couple of weeks that woman will be my fiancé makes the smile on my face light up again, I don't know that feeling yet, yet I know that I am genuinely privileged to have someone as great as her by my side. I am looking forward to seeing her in that wedding dress as she walk towards me. My heart is going to burst out if I keep thinking about her like that, but can you blame me? I've never been in love like this before; I'm not sure if I'm doing too much, but every time I see her, I feel like I want her to desire and love me back; I'm so happy with her, and I just want her to feel the same way.
My eyes shifted on the ring on my finger, I slipped it off and put it next to the little box, I thought it would be a bit suspicious to let Gabby see her father's ring on my finger, I pulled up to my house and take a deep breath, my heart is full of love and knowing my wife is in there waiting for me makes me feel complete, me and her about to open a chapter that will bring us a lot of happiness but also fear. Temptation is a real treat for us right now, but I know that as long as we confide in each other, we will be fine; conversation is the key to a strong relationship, and if we lack communication, we will not be able to overcome this feeling and burden that will not go away; I trust her the same way she trusted me, so I know deep down that our love will overcome any obstacles that will try to overshadow our bond.
Love is a test, as long as you understand the difference between wrong and right, you can always make it a better choice for yourself and your partner. I've known Gabby for four years, and as long as I've known her, she's always stood by her decisions. She's a woman of talent and integrity, and she will never change who she is for anyone. If I could tell you how many times I tried to make her feel different from her opinions, you'd think I was building a case, but that is who she is; she stands by her statements and never goes back on them; call it indifferent, she doesn't care, and that is what makes me fall for her even more. I adore a woman who values her dignity above all else; nothing can make her feel less than herself; she desires her own feelings and no one else's opinions matter; in the same way that I despise a cheater, I can't stand an ass kisser, and I will spoil you only when you desire it yourself, and Gabby is the polar opposite of both of them; I don't have to think, a woman with dignity will never limit her options, and believe me, Gabby is worth a billion.
