Accept Me, Emmy (COMPLETED)

Sequel (5)

Troy Liza's P.O.V.

I bought a dozen of red tulips. I always have games in my mind. This time, I will give this tulips to someone I don't know....a girl who may be busy, a girl I bumped or a girl that just going random like I do.

Who knows?

One of them may be my girl.

The last time I do it, I bought pink roses and gave it to a random woman. Turns out that she was a celebrity hiding from all her bodyguards and paparazzi.

See?

I'm still lucky in some other way..

As I stepped out in the flower garden, I counted the tulips.

O_o

Do they really know how to count?

I insist they should go back to primary school.

A dozen means there are twelve.....It was never recorded on history that a dozen of something can also have thirteen, right?

Psssh...

I picked up the less pretty tulip and left it at the store's bench. 13 is an unlucky number and I don't want to remain bachelor for the rest of my days.

As I opened the car's door, I heard an "ouch!" coming from someone. I closed the door to see if my thoughts are true.

Then I saw a girl maybe a couple years younger than me. She stood up and smiled at me.

Those smiles are amazing. She's pretty and tall.

"Sorry. Nabunggo ako sa pintuan ng sasakyan mo. Careless talaga. Pero ui, talagang may kailangan ako sayo."

huh?

I don't know you but your interesting....and cute!

She gets something from her sling bag and handed me a paper bag that conrains.....nutella?

I looked at her. Confused.

She giggled. Cute. "I know you like nutella. Nakita kita noon sa grocery store fighting with a girl for the sake of nutella. Hahaha!"

Weird. Stalker?

"Thanks. How did you know?" I placed the nutella in my car.

"Ah! Meron pa pala! Wait!" she said at may kinuha sa likurang bahagi.

It looks familiar to me. When I saw number 13 printed on the skateboard. I know its something that belongs to me!

"Ako ang nakakuha niyan when you ran. I was a little kid back then. I never had a chance to return it to you....till now."

Malinis parin. Halatang alagang-alaga ang skateboard ko nung bata pa ko. Iniyakan ko nga to ng ayaw bilhin ni mom.

Psh. Siya pala nakapulot nito after.

"Thank God! May moral value to sakin. Maraming salamat...umm. I didn't get your name...? What's your name?"

She then pulls something from her sling bag. The 13th red tulip that I left in the bench. The less pretty one.

"Don't throw away things just because its less prettier than the others. Being different is unique. Smell this tulip. Its twice more fragrant than the rest. See? You lost the most beautiful thing because you are racist."

"No I'm not. And its not black." I argued. She's right. I can't argue more.

Now I placed the skateboard in my car and insert the the tulip in the bouquet. Now I'm holding the bouquet.

Next thing she did was showing me her hand. Her fingers were clean and perfect.

I saw my infinity ring on her left hand. She waved her hand to me.

"This ring is so beautiful. Why did you throw it?"

Wow! Was she following me the whole time?

I smirked.

She removed it in her hand but she struggled too much. Maybe the ring was too small or her fingers were too big.

Her face was turning red in removing the ring.

My infinity ring. The ring that I should give to the girl I love. Now, I want that girl to search me.  I need to set free and find someone else....someone who was destined for me.

That's what I told myself before throwing it out.

I looked at this girl who's still struggling and sweating.

I hold her hand. She was shocked. I touched the infinity ring in her finger. It fits perfectly. I kisses it gently.

Holding her hand I say, "Stop struggling. Maybe its supposed to stay there....forever." I smiled. I won't let go of this hand.

"Where were you the whole time?" I asked her still holding her hand.

She smiled. "I will tell you if you invite me out..."

That sounds great!

"Of course. Where are we heading to Miss? "

"Jasmine Rose T. Sandoval. Call me Jasmine."

"As you wish....Jasmine."

Holding her hand, we stared and smiled at each other.

This girl....is my destiny for sure.

I'm starting to think..

Maybe number 13 isn't unlucky after all...
