This will be the fifteenth Saturday I see this beautiful lady sitting on that bench.

She would stare at the kids playing on the swing, seesaw and monkey bars.

After almost half an hour she would take her book from her bag and read it.

When she gets done reading, she will bring out her snack and eat as she watch other people as they passes by.

After eating, she would put her earphones on her ears and obviously listen to music or some recordings, I'm not sure. All I know is that she's listening.

When she gets done listening, she will again read her book.

After two hours, she will fix her things and stood up. And then, the moment I've been waiting for will happen.

"Hello, can I -"

"Daisies Miss?"

"Uhh, yes. How did you know?"

"Let's just say that I pay attention to my avid customers. And you buy three different flowers each Saturday"

"Okaaay, so paano mo nasabing Daisies ang bibilhin ko ngayon?"

"Roses every first Saturday, Daisies every second Saturday, Lilies every third Saturday and None on the last Saturday. Since today is the second Saturday of the month, you will buy Daisies, am I correct?"

"Good. Okay, may I have my daisies now?"

"Here's your daisies Miss."

"And here's my payment"

"Here's your change. Have a nice day!"

"Thank you! Good day!"

She's really beautiful even from a far or up close. I wonder what's her name.

I swear I will ask for her name next Saturday, I just hope she won't find me creepy or something.



Next Saturday came and this will be the third Saturday of the month, the sixteenth time I will see her. I am already preparing her Lilies.

I smiled to myself upon seeing her walk towards her favorite bench, she is wearing sky blue dress which made her look so young, fresh and carefree. Just like the past fifteen Saturdays, she did her routine, all I need to do is be ready and prepare her flowers as I watch her from a far.

After a while, she stood up and as usual she will walk towards my stall.

"Hello, can I -"

"Lilies? Just a second Miss"

"Okay," she casually said remembering their last conversation. She actually admire this guy for being so observant. There are lots of people who buys flowers form his stall but he still remembers her usual flowers.

"Here's your Lilies Miss..."

He said, trying his luck if she would tell him her name.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome, have a good day!" He said cheerfully trying to mask his disappointment by not getting her name. He really wants to get to more about her.

She smiled at him and start to walk away, he kept staring at her when she suddenly stops. She turn around to face him and smiled,

"Sadie"

"H-ha?"

she chuckled, "Sadie, I'm Sadie"

"Oh! ah, oo, Sadie, Sadie. Okay. uh, ingat Sadie, thank you Sadie, God bless Sadie" He said stuttering, he suddenly panicked, he didn't see it coming. He just get back to his senses when he heard her chuckle.
