OK...DIS IS SUMTHING I WROTE WEN I WAS IN CLASS 10..I WASNT BLOGGING BACK THEN SO I POSTED IT NOW...
I woke up, rubbed my eyes and looked at my watch: 10 o’clock. I promised to meet Her at 9, already 1 hour late, as usual. I opened my cupboard and took out the best suit, got dressed, looked at myself in the mirror and winked, looking good. I opened my drawer, took out the small blue velvet box, opened it to check for the ring, its there shining like a star, I put it safely in my waist pocket today is the day. I went out, it was drizzling slightly, I went to the nearest florist’s and bought a bouquet of white lilies, Her favourite. I walked, half running to the bus stand; She’s not there. Not Her fault, after all, it was Me who was late. My watch showed 10:45….. 1 hour 45 minutes late….. I still stood there, half hoping that She would come. I tried calling Her on Her cell; SWTCHED OFF. I started advancing towards home….. hey?!…… I heard a shriek of laughter, familiar shriek of laughter. I turned towards the direction and saw Her, Oh What a Relief, She was laughing….. no, at me, She was looking to Her right, laughing at…. At the trash can??!!… no no not possible; She was laughing at a guy, He was trying to carry four huge packets in His hands, And was wearing the same shirt that She had bought for me last to last Saturday morning. I went to Her smiling, ring in my pocket, flower in my hand. She saw me, Her expression came to a standstill. I said hey, showed Her the lilies, sorry. She didn’t take them, called Him, took Him by Her arm and said; meet Him, I love Him, We are getting engaged next week. I stared, thought it was a joke, but no; it wasn’t. They were looking at each other’s eyes. He spoke, I think Our friend here is going to make a lady happy today! Lilies huh? Man you got a classy taste. I clenched my fists so tight that my nails dug into my palm, the lilies almost got crushed, then it stopped, I looked at Him, then I looked at Her, and smiled, I gave Him a friendly pat on his shoulder, no, it’s for you, for her; all the best. As for the ring…… some other day may be………………..
