Chapter 28
"This is gonna be your unforgettable weekend," he blurts looking at the beach while I stare up at him.
"Wait here, I'll be back," he leaves me alone and walks away hurriedly.
Wandering on the sand I hug myself as the cool breeze brushes off me, standing on the spot at the end of the wet sand I burry my feet into the sand,putting my sandals down I raise my hands up and inhale the fresh air.
My lips twitches up to a wide grin thinking about Mr Han,he surely is something.
"Excuse me," I hear a strange voice which brought me out of my thoughts,putting my hands down quickly I turn around to meet a young girl holding a red heart shaped balloon.
"Here,"she brings the balloon forward.
Looking at her curiously I take the balloon and look back at her to ask what she wants but she walks away in a blink of an eye. Curling my eyebrows I take a look at the balloon and my eyes widens in surprise.
'Walk to your right' it's written on the balloon with a black marker.
Spinning around I look everywhere trying find someone but the people around me were all strangers minding their own business.
Washing my sandy feet I wear my sandals and walk towards my right. I stop in my tracks when I see another person coming with the same balloon towards me.
He handed me the balloon and left before I could speak a word.
What's all this?
'I thank destiny for bringing you to me'
My mind messed up with curiousity and wild thoughts I walk further when I see another person walking with a balloon,she hands over the balloon to me.
"Who gave this?,"I question immediately after taking it, before she leaves.
"Your boyfriend is so sweet," she smiles and walks away.
"Huh?,"
Boyfriend..sweet... I don't have a boyfriend in the first place...to be sweet
Did they take the wrong person... I'm I being framed for something
Pushing the stupids thoughts behind my mind I hold the balloon infront to read.
'You are special' it's written in black as the other two balloons and the handwriting is the same as well ,I move my gaze down when I see a small handwriting.
'Burst me'
Knitting my eyebrows I burst the balloon with my right hand and the other two balloon's thread is in my left.
A small sheet of rolled paper falls on the dry sand, scotting down I unroll the paper curiously.
'I love you,' it read , a soft gasp escapes my lips and I loosen my left palm without my consciousness letting the balloons fly in the air,the handwriting in the paper seemed familiar and now I know who it is after all I work with him all day.
I see a pair of shoe infront of me,I gaze up to see him looking down at me with a bouquet of red tulips. Standing up I look at him my face showing no expression as I don't know how to react to all these stuffs.
"Anna," my name sounds foreign when it rolls down his tongue " Will you be my girlfriend?," he proposes his voice low and gentle,moving the huge bouquet forward he gestures me to take it and I do.
Looking at the flowers I look up at him curiously his eyes fixed on me. Keeping a step forward he runs his hand around my waist pulling me infront closer to him " Shall I take your silence as a yes," he smiles raising an eyebrow.
My throat goes dry and my heart beat begins to race, it's pounding heavily like it would pop out of my ribcage , I stare at him ,a hot blush rises over my neck, biting my lower lip nervously I try to say yes.
I don't hesitate,I don't know why I don't want to give it a thought, I wanted things to be a joke when Dylan proposed me but now it's different. I think I'm already into him without my consciousness and startled by knowing that everything is happening so fast.
"Will you be mine?," he whispers moving closer his minty scent hitting my nostrils.
I couldn't speak,I don't know what my body is feeling right now,my stomach gives me a bizarre feeling and all this happens only when he is around.
I try to smile but my muscles went stiff,my cheeks burning up "Yes" it came out as a mere whisper but I know that he heard it eventhough that the the sound of the breeze and the waves disturbed us. I stand on ny tippie toes when he bends low, placing my arms over his shoulder I move closer and we kiss, this time it feels different. He kisses me gently and passionately and I kiss him back as he does this time and later the gentle kiss turned into a hungry one.
Red Tulips symbolises:Deep Love
