After my work, I went directly to a flowershop to pick up some flowers that I had just ordered last week for my client's wedding. Yes, I worked as a wedding planner and I love my job. Why I love my job? Because it made me think I'm cupid that plan to guide and help two wondering souls to be united as one like it was destiny.

It's quite romantic, actually, to think about witnessing a couple's happy ending just like the ones in fairytale stories. I used to imagine that I'll be having my own happy ending with my boyfriend but, that was before he tupped with another girl on the day of our anniversary. The jerk even called at my house and told me that it was all just a mistake from what I have seen.

Mistake?!

Hah, yeah right.

I saw him having sex with another woman with my own two eyes and he had the audacity to call it a mistake? I told him we were through and if I ever saw him coming near me, I'll strangle him with my bare hands and I meant it literally. he left after my warning and I never saw him again. Some acquaintances told me he transferredn to California, but I couldn't careless as long as he is out of my life.

As I waited for the manager to confirm the flowers' delivery time, I look around the shop and see some of the fresh cut of flowers. My eyes instantly fell at some roses that reminded me of the man who gave me a rose. He was actually sweet of him about his gesture for what he did for me. It made me forget  that I was angry at my boyfriend - I mean, my ex-boyfriend -  for having an affair with another woman.

"Hello? Leonel, I'm here to help you like I promised to do."

It must be a customer coming to buy some flowers, but I immediately stopped when I recognized the newcomer's voice. I was so sure that the voice was so familiar that I had to turned around to know who owns it and I was, indeed, not mistaken. Standing a distant away from me was the man who gave me the white rose.

Speak of the devil, and the devil himself surely appears.

I thought he didn't recognized me but for the second time around, I was again mistaken. The man recognizes me that he immediately went near me in a quick stride with a smile registered on his face.

"It's you again," he said the moment he was infront of me. "I hope you're feeling much more better now than the last time."

"I am actually," I said while nodding at the same time. "I forgot to thank you for giving me a rose last time, uhm. . . " I waited for him to give his name.

"I forgot to introduced myself last time. I'm Stanford, at your service," he showed a simple bow while grinning as he supplied his name. "And you are?"

"I'm Katherine," I introduced myself as I smiled at his corny yet sweet gesture. "Thank you once again for the rose you gave me, Stanford. It made me feel better."

"I'm happy to oblige a beautiful lady," he commented. I immediately felt myself blushing from what he said that Stanford started to grin again and my face, I was so sure, was turning all warm and red.

The shopkeeper returned and greeted Stanford. I don't know how long my face was red but I automatically returned to my normal self when the shopkeeper informed me of the confirmation of the delivery time. I noticed Stanford wasn't around and I just nodded for affirmation of the said schedule.

I was about to leave the flowershop, when Stanford called me by the door. I paused from leaving when he went near me and gave me a rose. This time it was a yellow rose.

"This symbolizes as the start of our new friendship," he explained.

"The rose?" I asked while staring at the rose before I look at him.

"The yellow rose," he corrected and smiling all the way. "You should know that there's a difference of saying a rose and its color."

I just nodded.

"Anyways, I got to go back to work since I promised Leonel that I would help him around," he said and winked at me before he went back inside.
