By the time Sei was about to step into the courtyard, he halted and he lifted the bear in his hand. Considering the current situation, and the fragile flowers in his hand, Sei decided to leave the bear for the mean time. He then moved and put the fluffy white bear on a small table near the courtyard’s entrance before he finally stepped out.
Small candles were still scattered on the ground forming another path towards the gazebo in the middle of the courtyard. And as Sei looked at the place, he couldn’t help but felt quite amazed. The place which was just used to be his training ground suddenly turned into something completely different. Knowing that these was a result of his wife’s hard work, Sei wanted to engraved the picture of the whole place in his mind. It was because he knew that after this, this part of the house will become a very special place. However, as impatient as he is, he couldn’t bear to delay another second anymore looking at the place. Thus, he continued walking hastily and the moment he finally saw his wife’s silhouette standing quietly waiting for him just in front of the gazebo, Sei halted in place.
He is still ten steps away from her, but Sei’s eyes slowly widened when he saw her. No word came out of his mouth, he was rendered speechless by the angel in front of him. Her white dress, her loose braided hair, her radiant comforting smile, her mesmerizing eyes, her nose, her lips. That very moment, Sei felt like time just froze and everything around him disappeared. As though, he suddenly lost his ability to see everything in this world except his wife.
Sei felt like looking at her standing motionlessly as she just gazes back at him was enough to take his breath away. Making him subconsciously move his feet and slowly walked closer to her without averting his gaze.
The girl on the other hand didn’t move at all. She just stood there quietly waiting for him, counting every steps that he was taking as he moves closer. Suppressing her desire to just jump on him and hug him tight.
Time that moment just seemed to slowed down making everything felt like a movie in slow motion. Their eyes that were locked into each other’s were filled with intense emotions. Emotions that were reflecting the love and longing within them. However, just one step away from her, Sei was halted again by a certain thing that his foot stepped at. His system was somehow awakened by it but just as he was about to just ignore it, his wife averted her gaze and looked at the ground. Thus, subconsciously making Sei to follow her line of sight.
And by the time Sei saw what it was, he just stood in place before he could slowly bent his knees down and squatted in front of her so gracefully like a prince before he picked it up and stared at it. It was a red tulip and it means…
Believe me…That moment, Sei, who was still in his squatting position right in front of her then raised his head. But the moment he was about to stand again, the girl suddenly stretched out her hand. Causing the man to froze back in place as his eyes were just glued into the single full bloom red rose in her hand. That moment, Sei could feel his heart bursting out of control. Knowing the meaning of the flower in her hand just turned his system at the verge of shutting down and he just couldn’t take it anymore. And next second, as her final blow, the girl opened her mouth and stated the meaning of the flower.”I love you.”
