"Yes!" She croaked while nodding gently as soon as she found her voice.

Paul's eyes brightened like the sun after he heard her say yes. That was the' yes' that he had been longing to hear. His arms immediately enveloped her and Toni returned it as tight as she could. They locked each other's gazes. Paul's lips immediately pressed against hers. It was soft and sweet. Then, she buried her head in the crook of his neck while he repeatedly gave her a kiss on top of her head. "Tin, you don't know how happy I am right now," Paul whispered in her ear. Toni's heart rate picked up in ecstasy. She was extremely delighted that the man that she loves had finally proposed to her. Toni slightly unlocked herself from Paul's embrace and she saw a glimpse of Sam standing quietly behind them. Toni didn't know why but she felt a sudden twinge in her heart. There was something in his face that struck her. There was something different and she didn't know what. She examined him from his eyes down to his lips. When she caught Sam's smile she knew it wasn't his most genuine. It was like it was forced.

Sam, however, became aware that Toni was staring at him. Her face was scrunched up and he wondered why she was giving him such facial expression. Just like Toni, Sam felt a sudden pang in his heart when they locked eyes. From the moment he decided to help Paul in proposing to Toni as part of his birthday gift, there was something unusual happening in his heart. He felt like it was being squeezed, ready to turn into fragments. In his head was a train of thoughts, mainly 'what ifs'. What if it was me? When will I find my forever? Why did I ever let go of Toni? What could have been if it was us?

A lump mysteriously appeared at the back of his throat and he swallowed hard to get rid of it but it kept on coming back. His ears were starting to heat up and he could feel his eyes starting to turn red. He took a deep breath consequently making his chest hoist. There was an overpowering feeling inside him that was triggering his heart to explode. It was so hard to pull away from her stare, but Sam felt the urge to break the contact and walk away. He wanted to chuck the unusual feelings that he was having and the only solution that he could think of was to walk away. And just as he turned on his heel, he knew that the tears that he was suppressing the moment he walked her down the petals of red roses, would eventually find their way out of his eyes. As soon as the forms of liquid roll down his cheeks, he quickly wiped them away and he took one last deep breath. His mind was still processing what happened and was still thinking why he was feeling hurt.

His feet led him to the toilet. He advanced towards the tall glass and studied himself. He looked really devastated and he was not sure why. His eyes were bloody red. He fixed his dishevelled hair by scraping it with his fingers. He forced a smile but it keeps on falling back into a straight line. His phone beeped in his pocket. It said, "Two messages unread." He checked the first message and felt boldly blank when he saw that it was from Ashleigh(Sam's friend from the US). She texted him, "I'm here. Where are you?"
