Yep.I'll be there.Don't worry.Sure," he replied over the phone.I thanked him as we ended the call.

He unhesitatingly agreed to meet my parents tonight in the nearby restaurant.
He is amazing.To be honest,he is the kindest,smartest,and the cutest guy you'll ever encounter.I'm truly grateful to have him in my life.And I'm pretty sure he is too to have me in his life.I don't really know what he found in me that we became this close.I'm just the typical girl you'll see,wiping the unclean table in a coffee shop.

~

I get ready for tonight.I was a bit excited and I could feel my body get tensed up due to the nervousness as I wear a wine red dress my dad bought for me for tonight.

I dont understand of buying such splendid dress when it would only get to be used for tonight.Only for tonight.Don't worry,I have my reasons.

~

He came earlier than I expected.Plus,he still came to my house,insisting that he would drive me and my parents to the restaurant.

"I insist.I would be glad if you accept," He said after he rolled down his car's window,facing us.

~

As soon as we got to the place,he left the car first only to open the car's door letting my parents out,like a gentleman.

He didn't forget about me.He also went to open the door for me.

What more surprising is that he actually made a reservation for us.My parents were quite impressed because of that.

The waiter led us to the reserved table and gave us the menus.

My parents sat across me while he sat beside me,of course.

The waiter left us for a while to think of what we should order.

There was silence at first until my father spoke,"You act like a prince don't 'ya?"

We giggled as my mom playfully hit my father's arm.

"So you should treat my daughter like a princess.Or else I'll have my servants to hunt you down," my father jokingly continued.

"Understood.You have my words,king,"then this guy beside me answered,just going with the flow of my father's weirdness.

I laughed seeing how he is being loved by my parents.

We soon ordered and the food turned out to be nice.It was good just like how the night was going,I thought.

"The reason why I liked your daughter?"
He repeated the question my mom gave him.
"Well,to start off with,she is very kind.I love how she understands people and how she cares about them and their feelings.She is pretty,inside and out,without make up or with make up.She is as well the funniest girl I have ever been with.She is very fun to be with.And not to mention,she likes me as much as I do.I care for her as much as she cares for her pet bunny," I looked at him when he just made his "speech" funny.He giggled at my reaction."Just kidding.I know she cares for everyone.She is the most amazing thing that has ever came to my life.And I want to thank you for that." He continued as he looked at my parents with a thankful smile planted on his face.

My parents were as well surprised.They were amused.And accepted us.(?)

The night was a success.For them.

~

I live in an apartment,away from my parents since they work together.

But he still insisted to drive them home and to my apartment as well.

He was by my side as we went up to my apartment.And held my hand as I take a step up the stairs,still in his "prince-cy act" of his.

He led me to my door and unlocked it for me.

~

"I would call that a night!Thank you very much.For everything.Thank you for impressing my parents."

"No big deal.Seeing you happy would already satisfy any of my worries."

For being too careless,I didn't notice that tears were already flowing down my cheeks without my permission.

I immediately wiped it off but still,I continued to sob in front of him.
"Shh.Don't cry.I know it will be hard for both of us.I will always be here if you need me next time,if I will still be here though."

"Im sorry.I just can't help but to cry.How I wish all those things you've just said before were true...."

"...I understand that you have to leave tonight and go somewhere far away,from me.Still,thank you so much.Thanks for playing pretend with me and...I OWE YOU BIG TIME,bro!!" I explained as my bestfriend gave a smile that I thought I'll be seeing for the last time.

.

With that,I ended my story I was telling to my husband.

"Oh oh!And how long was I actually gone?" He asked in a playful manner.

"For 5 years for goodness' sake!" I said while bursting into laughter.

He couldn't help but to smile after hearing  his wife's story about when he was about to meet her parents although it was all unplanned.

"What if I actually refused to pretend I was your boyfriend and declined to meet your parents?Would we still be married like we do now?
