Bee & Sunflower
1504 Words
I was amazed by the wonderful garden of sunflowers in front of me. They were like thousands of little suns that shower sunlight beneath that little space of land. I gazed up at him and smiled as sweet as I can. He knows why. Because it's been my dream to have a dinner date on the center of a garden full of sunflowers. He take my hand as he guided me to the center where the table with mouth watering foods, a bottle of red wine and a candle, is. Sweet music lingered all over the garden as butterflies seem to dance along every notes. I'm simply carried away by my emotions that tears of joy suddenly fell from my eyes. This is such a very romantic date that added up to the happiness I felt inside because of him. I never expected this kind of surprise when he woke me up this morning with a call and delivered a bouquet of flowers and a cute yellow dress over my doorstep. He had never been this sweet before. That's why this brought millions of joy in my heart. He's such a one heck of a guy.
"You're wonderful tonight. Oh no. You're very beautiful. I can't take my eyes off of you."
I blushed as those words came out of his mouth. I merely choked from eating but I pretended as if I am not very much affected by that compliment. I smiled at him, can't talk maybe because I'm too speechless. He stood up, walked closer to me and handed me his hands. He's asking me for a dance. Not thinking twice, I accepted his offer. I held his right hand, put my arms around his shoulder as he held my waist with his left. And we swayed the night away. We don't talk. But the stares that we shared at each other tell how much we enjoyed every minute of that moment. Those looks tell that our love for each other is more than anything that our lips can ever express. I slowly lean at him, moved my head over his chest as I hear his heartbeat. And I may say that it is my favorite music of all. He gently pushed me back, looked at me in the eye, smiled and I see him moving closer to my face. The face of the man who have been the hero in my dreams. The man whom I've fallen in love over and over again. As his face came two inches closer to mine, I closed my eyes, waiting for the next thing I'm expecting to happen.
And that soft thing touched my lips. I pouted once more and the soft thing is still there. I smiled because I'm loving the feeling of having this unforgettable kiss. I slowly opened my eyes and was shocked to see my white pillow in front of my face. I sat annoyingly in my bed with that same loured face every morning. Again, it's just a dream. That's why it seemed so perfect. I scratched off my forehead and pull myself back to bed. But a smile came upon my face as I remembered every detail of my dream. I hugged my pillow and pretended that it is the man in my dreams. That guy who's making me happy even he don't know that he really does. That guy whom I love truthfully. That guy I know will be mine, well, romantically. Because he's my one and only. But I guess, being with him in my dreams is already enough. I reached for my cellphone and checked out who left some message for me. And I smiled as I see his name at the top of the list saying,
"Hey! Wake up sleepyhead! You're dreaming of me again, dont you?"
While smiling.. I called Nhill right away.
"Sunflower! You miss me?"
"Oh yeah! Come over here! I miss you..."
"I'm here already outside your house. Let me in. Sunflower, hurry up!
"For real? omg... I'm coming..."
Pagkabukas pa lang ni Lovely ng pintuan kaagad sumalubong sa kanya ang naggagandahang sunflower.
"Wow! Thank you so much Bee.. I need to take selfie..." Hinila nya na lang basta si Nhill, papasok saka hinagilap ang cellphone sa sofa. Panay ng kuha nya ng pictures sa sarili habang natatawang pinagmamasdan lang sya ng binata.
"Sunflower, I just want to say that.. I love you. That I never imagined that you would come into my life. Every day, you saturate me with your love. I can't explain what I feel when you are around. You complete the better half of me. You fulfill the missing part on me. I so love you, and you'll always be my love." Inabot ni Nhill ang kamay ni Lovely saka pinaupo ito sa kanyang tabi. " What you love about loving me?"
"Hmm... What I love about loving you?" Lovely thought deeply. "I get to wake up each morning with less negative things on my head, and that feels so good. Reading your messages just before l get up on my bed has been a daily routine and l would never get tired doing because it is the reason why my heart gets really healthy since the time that l met you. Looking at the mirror, I can smile and say how happy l am to wake up because I know, someone is happy waking up because of me too. I could eat my breakfast topped with happy thoughts of you and a simmering sweet blended I love yous coming from your mouth. And just as the clock is starting to rotate its hands, my day is already complete."
"Hmm... Feels good." Nhill, kiss her forehead. "What else.. tell me! Make me happy!"
"My heart become something very hype yet it gives me the feeling of being normal again. After sometime of being numb, traumatized, and stupid, right now, my heart is starting to become something brave and strong which I am most proud to say to everyone who is trying to make me realize that I was once a scared lamb who always chickens out about everything. I am becoming someone who is not afraid to take risks and accept challenges because i know that you are with me, and you would not let anything wrong happen to me. I am becoming to be swan because you took me out of my shell. You are my strength. I have had someone whom I can say everything. From the things that I love, to the things that piss me off. The things that made me laugh and those that brought tears in my eyes. I have had someone whom I can take out all those dirty little secrets that I have been hiding all my life and are becoming burdens in my brain. Someone whom I can trust all the things that I have been keeping inside my inner box of shame because I know that you would never judge me that easy and that you believe in me. Someone whom I can call my best friend and my secret box. Someone whom I can trust myself with forever."
Pinagsiklop ni Lovely ang mga kamay nila ni Nhill. Na hinila naman sya pasandal sa dibdib nito.
"I can cry my heart out in your shoulders. Whatever the reason, maybe because I'm too sad or I was stupid or because of the movie I've seen on tv, I know that you would end up caressing my hair, kissing my forehead and telling me that everything will be alright because you are by my side. I know that you would come hugging me and telling me that I have no reasons to cry because I deserve to be happy. I know that you would hold my hand and make me feel that I am never alone, that I could always have someone whom I can take out all the sadness that I have in my heart. And because of you, I know that every tears that I poured in your shoulders, are all worth it. Most of all, what I love about loving you is the part when I came to realize that I really really love you and you really really love me, and everything around us were witnesses of the undying love between the two of us that is meant to last forever."
And after all that time, and after all those memories, I sat beside him... the person who used to turn my heart into thunder and I simply felt ordinary. I realised then, that perhaps it was my love that made him unique. maybe I had finally remembered myself; I had finally remembered how to breathe peacefully.
"I love you! my Bee"
"I love you more! my sunflower"
Lovely shouted suddenly.... "Selfie!"
"Yeah!" Nhill immediately went to Lovely's side then smiled.
Every moment should be lived with feelings and emotion because if we try to decipher it and understand it, the magic disappears.
