So, 'adulthood' turned official for me on the 28th of last month. Uh-huh, I've finally crossed my 21st mark. My birthdays have always been a simple affair so there was no hoo-haa, no lavish party, no bash-of-the-year sorta thing. Nonetheless, the cream of the crop was definitely love's surprise at my workplace. n_n It didn't dawn on me that he would have a card up his sleeve, that day. What more, during working hours in my office! heh. I must say, i could have easily been knocked down by a feather when I came by my desk to see a beautifully wrapped bouquet of my favourite flora, the sunflower and a pretty parcel with a red ribbon settled down on my seat. Minutes after I went like, "Oh my god, What is this??" with eyes wide open amd raised eyebrows, I heard my pantry door creaked open. A familiar figure came in view, one that was all too easy for me to recognize. This person had a cake with lighted candles in his hands and the next thing i knew, the man I love was serenading me with a birthday song. Dumbfounded, I had to do a double take. I gave my eyes a quick, tight shut and peeled them open again only to see that he was still there, for real. My heart fluttered. I felt my tears coming but i refused to let them in, bcoz I didn't wanna blur the heartening sight ahead of me. I smiled, I grinned, I blushed but he never did once take his charming eyes off me. Love's gift was my favourite of all. It wasn't something that was of material use to me. It was an intricately carved figurine of a couple caught in a romantic embrace. When I prompted for the reason behind his choice. He said, "It reminds me of us, of how close our hearts are." He was seeking for one that would reflect our relationship and if you look underneath its base, you wld understand the true meaning hidden behind this piece, you wld see the words "Promise. Hold dear the promise of love" It was a promise figurine, one to express his commitment and devotion to me. Feeling deeply moved and astounded, my smile held a thousand meaning of affection towards him which I couldn't convey in words, at that point of time. I was bowled over and tongue-tied, period. Later that night, Love and I had dinner together. It was my choice but i opted for a regular fare and i didn't regret my decision because i know, it doesn't take an exquisite dinner to make my birthday special. It's him. I just need him by my side because he's the reason I smile and his presence in my life is all it really takes for that bliss to happen. *tearysmile* Anyway, I've uploaded the few snippets of that day so yup, I shall pass on the mic to these pictures! ;)
To my dear love, Aqiim,
"I really dunno how much thank-u(s) I can say to you. If i could learn all the languages in this world, I would say them in all the different ways with different expressions everytime. I thank you for everything you've done for me but really, it's just having you around that I'm thankful for. It is your love that I'm grateful for. You are the gift itself, which I'm blessed with. Your joyous smile is the reflection of our love and I shall promise that no matter what happens, I will never let that beautiful smile I see in your face fade away. Thank you again my love, for loving me the way u do. You've made my 21st the best ever and u know wat? I never regretted choosing Burger King that night. I had an awesome time and it's all thanks to u baby! Birthday or not, who cares about where we dine when I've got you? You make me happy and dat's all that matters! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LA MY SWEETEST THING!"
