Everyday during lunch break, I would always go to my locker at the pigeon hall to take my packed lunch box. Today, when I opened my locker, a bouquet of flower was diagonally placed on top of my lunch box. I picked up the bouquet and smell the nice scent of the flowers and turned around and there's my prince, Daniel, leaning on the wall.

"Happy birthday, babe," he said and gave a peck on my forehead.

So cute of him. I never regret meeting him since the day I met him in the school library and shyly became his friend.

While walking along the hall in linked arms, he asks, "What do you want to do today, after school? Date, movie or visit your mom?"

"How about we go out for a movie and date after we visit my mom? But that sounds like I'm a gold digger though, like telling you what I want and what I wish for," I said and whispers to myself of the last sentence.

He stops walking and turns my face and body to face him and said, "Babe, listen. I know you're a type of person who do not like people to talk behind you or bad-mouthing you, but now the matter is, nobody will say that you're a gold digger or whatever. Today I'll be treating you my time and love just for you to celebrate your special day. And, I don't want you to think that your wishes makes you sounded like a gold digger or what, I can treat you all I want as long as I still can and one day if we're meant to be, I'm willing to make you my wife who I want to give all my love to and who I want to take a good care of."

I feel touched with those heart warming words and I immediately hugged him tightly and hid my face on his chest and I softly said, "Thank you and I love you baby."

We entered my mother's room at the hospital and we both greeted my father who's been sitting next to mother.

"Hi mom, how've you been doing?" Daniel and I said in sync. We both look at each other as we're amazed by the synchronize and said "Aye" together.

I heard mom giggles and dad does too. "I'm fine, I don't feel the pain hurting me," mom said, smilling. Daniel pulls a chair and asked me to sit down.

"I hope my prayers for you to come home healthy will be granted," I said holding my mom's hand and kissing it.

Her nice, warm and sweet words, exactly how I fell in love with her. I hope this personality of hers wont change or gone. I caressed her hair and placed my hand on her shoulder. She glanced at me and smiles.

After a long conversations with her small family, we asked for the permission to leave and let Julie's mother to rest.

Julie closed the door and I said, " Hey babe. I've been holding this in since just now. I want to give you something, but I'm not sure if I can or not." She's standing still with a face seems to say, 'Uhm? What is it?'

I smiled at her and give a peck on her lip and cupped her cheek and said , "I hope those good personalities of yours won't change and I  really wish that our relationship will last longer that only death can separate us."

I thought she would get mad or shooked by that sudden kiss and it's our first kiss ever since we dated for 3 years, but she smiled shyly and did it back instead and said, "Mhm, I promise you I won't. If I did leave you in the future, I'm sure myself, God will arrange the way for me to get back to you and if I did not, that means God has planned a better person for you. All I want from you is your patient. I hope you can wait, forgive and accept me again." She cupped my cheek with her palm.
