Ming's POV

It was my last day of the internship..

I still couldn't believe six months had passed this quickly..

There was a lingering pain I felt in my heart,whenever these thoughts came to my mind. these past six months contained so many memories in them for me. I would cherish them for the rest of my life for sure...
Afterall, this internship let me meet my Phana.. My Phana... That thought alone made heart flutter a little..

I love that man.. I know he loves me too.. but his insecurities and fears are inhibiting him from accepting my love for him and his feelings for me..

But I promised to wait for him.. and I know he would definitely be able to win against all the odds and return my love one day..

I'm just eagerly waiting for that day to come.. So that I can show my feelings for him a bit more freely..

***

As it was the last day, everyone in office threw me a small farewell party there.. I got late because of that.. and the work was more hectic than the other days as well.. so at the end, it all made me dead tired..

I was lazily walking back to apartment while dragging my fatigued body with me..

When somehow a very familiar figure caught my attention..

"is it really him? what's he doing in here??" I couldn't get more overwhelmed with joy and surprise at the same time..

But it felt so unreal to my own eyes.. so I kept on walking without much sound..

" OH MY GOD!! Is that really you, Phana??!!" with that loud exclamation, I almost jumped on him,after getting confirmed.. I couldn't believe he was there...standing in front of me..

"Its really you.." I embraced him tightly, nuzzling my face in the crook of his neck.. sniffing his scent to calm my heart.

I felt ecstatic.. I missed him.. I really really missed him..

"yes Ming.. Its really me.." I couldn't stop the smile that broke onto my face.. I tightened my clasp around him..

Those innumerable phone calls, messages, even the videocalls were not enough for me.. I really wanted to touch him.. to feel him.. and today when everyone in office were partying and celebrating, instead of being happy, I only felt an emptiness.. I wanted Phana.. there.. with me.. with everyone..

I had not enough words to showcase my gratefulness to God, for sending him here..

Then suddenly it occured to me...

"what are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me that you would be coming here?" I voiced my worries,breaking from the heartwarming hug,abruptly.. Somehow I saw some hesitation in Phana's eyes for a mere second but it got masked with smugness as he reminded me of how he was the CEO of his company.. how he could come here any time he wanted and blah blah blah.... so arrogant!!!!

"uhm.. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean it this way.." I mumbled softly,being embarrassed.. but the next thing made me so astonished,that for a moment, I couldn't trust my own mind to think of him, as Phana.. as in My Phana.. he squeezed my cheeks..
shock would definitely be an understatement of what I felt that time.. and the way my face felt warm,I was pretty sure of mirroring a tomato from the outside..

"I came here to celebrate your last day of internship in our company, with you.." he spoke softly.. this time, he too blushed furiously, probably seeing my reactions...

All these were too much for me and my heart..

"OH MY GOD! HE'S SO ADORABLE!!" I screamed internally while jumping unstoppably in my mind..

"he came for me!!" I was on cloud nine by this time.. I wanted to jump on him,and kiss him senseless.. but I had to get a hold of my own emotions.. I knew this wasn't the perfect time for that.. I had promised him to wait for him..

"Uhm.. so what are you waiting for? Let's party tonight..." I enthusiastically tried to drag him, after composing himself.. but when I realized that he didn't move from his place,I looked back at him,frowning a little..

"Uhm.. Ming.. I..I've planned something for us... uhm.. will you...er.. will you go on a date with me?"

I was almost frozen at that time.. I thought my heart stopped beating as well...

"what did he say!! Did he just ask me out on a date??!! Oh my God!! That can't be true..!! can it??" I stood there, motionlessly ,wide eyed.. with thousands of wandering questions in my mind..

"am I dead or something?? Is this heaven??" all my stupid day dreaming came to an end with the angelic sound of his giggles! I was pretty sure, I looked like an absolute idiot now..

"wh..what did you say? Did.. did you just ask me out on a d..date?" I painfully asked my doubts..

And I was engulfed into a bone crushing hug by Phana at that very moment..

"yes Ming.. let's go on a date with me.. I've planned everything.."those words were enough for me to break down into tears.. I waited for this moment to come to my life for a long time..

" hey! Why are you crying!!" his soothing voice made me cry even more.. I couldn't wait now.. I wanted to let him know how much I love him... I wanted him to know what he meant to me..

"I love you.." I muttered softly..

I didn't care if he took his time to reply me back.. that very moment, I felt too much overjoyed.. somehow I felt Loved..

But somewhere in my heart I wanted him to say it back too even though I remembered my promise to him..

"I love you too, Ming..." I heard him... very much clear.. it was really hard to convince my heart and mind, that it definitely wasn't a dream..

I hastily looked into his eyes, just to find the reality..

It indeed wasn't a dream..

I was embraced by the man, I'd fallen in love with.. Phana was there in front of me with flesh and bones, looking into my eyes, with so much sincerity and love with a dashing smile adorning his face..

If I felt overjoyed before, I didn't really have words to express what I felt now..

I was dumbfounded.. then all the emotional roller coaster came to my mind, and before I could understand anything, I started wailing like child...

"I got my Phana" was all I could utter before fainting..
