I was late again. We had planned for a date
and I was running out of time. ‘She is so getting angry on me.’ I said to
myself as I got into the shower. She hated it when I wasn’t on time. But as we
all know, bad habits don’t die soon. I wore her favorite white shirt and a pair
of jeans. I remember her saying that she liked it, when I didn’t do much with
my hair, so I left it messy. We were friends back then.
I took the keys from the shelf and left for
her place. It was our six month anniversary and thankfully, I remembered it. It
took me five years to gain confidence, in order to propose her. And the result
being the best; she was my girlfriend after that.
As soon as I reached, I could sense her
anger. I had taken her favorite daisies on the way. They would definitely calm
her down. ‘Happy anniversary Mia. I’m sorry for being late.’ I made a puppy
face. ‘Look, daisies, your favorite.’ I kissed the flowers. ‘You remember our
first date? July 13th. I was so happy that day. Your positive reply
was the best thing I had ever heard. I can never forget our fifty-eight minute
talk that night. I made you say ‘I love you’ almost twenty times!’ I laughed
aloud remembering all that. We talked for almost two hours, till I saw my
watch. I had a conference to attend, so I bid her farewell. ‘I love you baby
and I always will.’ I said and heard her reply the same.
I stood and kept the daisies over the stone
which was engraved with ‘In loving memory of Mia Andrews. August 17 1990 – July
14 2014’ I kissed it and let her sleep.
