The "PROMISE RING"

             I met this adorable sweetheart half a year ago. Since she had blown my mind in every possible way, my day started and ended with her. She had already been “THE THING” in my life and I would never let this thing go off, not once.

So, I and my life were in relationship after we expressed our feelings for each other long after we started talking. I couldn’t confess my love for her directly so I conveyed it through my words over my blog. Time passed, we experienced the highs and lows in our relationship but something held us strong against every odds. That was love.

We didn’t actually have a specific date in our relationship. Both of us believed in taking time to enter in relationship, that is why I guess we forgot to mark dates in our relationship. I keep her telling that it’s her love that tripped me to forget all those. She smiles and replies, “Enough being cheesy for the day.” But one day she said, “If we could mark dates in our relationship, we could have our day to celebrate.” But with her I would celebrate everyday in my life marking everyday as equally important in our relationship.

I had this plan to give us a reason to celebrate togetherness every year and make her day special so that she would always remember it even if I wasn’t there. Before getting to her special day, I had written this story about how actually I was going to surprise her on a paper. According to my plan, I would take her to a place and give her the story I had written about the day. I didn’t mention her and mine name in that story and pretended just to be a fiction out of my wish list.

I called her at this place we had visited just couple of days earlier. It was at the 8th floor, with a perfect view of the busiest street of the town. The place had wonderful interior and a cozy environment. It was all together a perfect kind of place that I would or anyone would ask to surprise their sweetheart.

Last night’s sleep was incomplete with all the excitement and I was already eager form the early sunrise. Finally it was evening and time to surprise my girl. I dressed up in such a way that would make me more of a gentleman. I was already at that place and she arrived 20 minutes later to that. As soon as I had my eyes on her, I couldn’t stop myself from winking and blowing a kiss to her. She smiled at me with a middle finger straight up. I reached towards her and walked holding her hand to the same table we were sitting during our previous visit. And there I was with the girl who has now been one of the important parts in my life.

It was difficult for me to act normal till I surprise her. I was equally nervous, excited, terrified and panicking. I gave a thought, what if my plan backfires, what if she gets angry, what if the setup isn’t good, etc. My “what ifs” were killing me but as I looked at her, her beautiful face provided me all the strength. She is my girl and my girl deserves to be treated special. I gave her the story I had finished the previous day and stood up. I closed my fist and moved towards the counter to give the order.

I looked at the least fit waiter to ask for the favor of surprising my girl. I showed him the ring and asked if he could put it neatly in one of our order. I requested him at my best to make sure that everything goes according to the plan. The waiter was kind enough to assure me with a big smile on his face. As I was about to go to our table, the faces on the background made me more nervous. So I went to the washroom to clear up all my doubts and anxiety. The person that came out of the washroom was completely different me. I found myself bold and confident. Now I had to pretend like nothing is going to happen till the ring arrives. I went to her and started gazing her beauty.

For me her face looked as adorable as the very first day of our date. I looked at that beautiful face and thanked god for letting me love her as much as I can to keep her happy. Time had passed and I was lost at my girl’s face. She would always feel shy when I stared her but for me it was like breathing. How could I stop?

The waiter finally arrived at our table with a big smile and greeted me, “Sir”. I took that plate and noticed the ring. I thanked the waiter and kept the plate before her so that she would notice the ring. She was busy reading the story I had given her. She had the paper that contained the part till I approach the waiter for a favor. She asked me with all of her eagerness what happens after that and how had I planned to surprise that girl in the story. I pulled off my phone to play her favorite Korean song. As the song started she smiled at me like she just fell in love with me. That was the smile I was living for since half of the year. I would literally die for that curve on her lips. It was everything for me. I smiled back to her and pointed to the plate where the ring was. I said her, “I had planned like this to surprise that lucky girl.” She pulled herself back with a shock. She kept on looking at me with a “whaaaat” on her face. All I could do was smile and point her to that ring. She hugged me all of a sudden. That was my moment. I took the ring and put it on her finger. It looked more beautiful on her beautiful little finger. She kept on looking at her finger. I whispered on her ears, “still not beautiful than you”. She gave me a punch on my biceps and said, “I love you”.

We found our love. We found our date for which we could live on in our relationship.
