P.S. All of the things took place in a beauty salon while boringly waiting for my sister's hair to be done. Brought by the boredom and imaginative mind, little by little, I stitched this story together(how cruel I was hehehe'�). Hope you'll like this!


It was last October while me and my boy friend Mel celebrated our anniversary. It was indeed a magical, romantic and humorous night for lovers like us. We had a very memorable experience to treasure in our lives with our dinner date held in a very ideal venue. The place was such a perfect venue for us to celebrate our strengthening relationship; a perfect place you thought will only exist in a scripted movie or fairy tales. However, behind its magical setting, we never thought that it would turn to a humorous one.

From the depths of my knowledge, I never did expect this astounding thing to happen. All I knew was it'll turn out just like the past anniversaries wherein we just give thank and ask for blessing for our relationship in the cathedral and stroll around the mall, dine in a restaurant and watch movies. I also thought that he forgot this special day 'coz he has not fetched me in my house just like the way he does and he never even text me any message from his cell. From that moment, I think I'm going to blew up with the curiosity, anger and jealousy, with the question posted in my mind 'Why didn't he showed up?'� My heart wanted to explode and my eyes wanted to burst in tears during that time, from that special moment when I feel all alone celebrating. Hours have passed 'till it gets dark and I'm still wondering with an empty tummy. To lessen the hurt that I felt inside, I decided to take a nap. Just a moment ago, while I'm down on my bed, I heard a noise, which seemed to be slowly descending towards me. In just a glimpse of seconds, he blindfolded my eyes and tied my hands. I was surprised when I heard a familiar voice uttering that I should go with him. It was Mel. Reluctantly, I escaped from his arms and nagged my sentiments. By that time, he just continued dragging me with myself almost touching the floor and advising me that I should just go with him like he was a kidnapper. He then pushed me in the car like I was a notorious criminal.

Along the way, I did not stopped nagging and asking where in the world is he taking me. With that, he grabbed a packaging tape (from where is I don't know 'coz I'm blindfolded) and taped my lips securing that he will not be hearing any word from me. With just a few moments, we stopped in a peaceful and quiet place, and me, still trying to scream a word. He then grabbed me and carried me like a bag of rice in his shoulders. He let me be sited on a soft chair and said 'We're here!'� next thing he did was he untied my hands, removed the tape from my lips and removed my blindfold. With my eyes still affected by the blindfolding, I hurriedly pushed him and crossed my hands in my chest. I panicked and made loud screams like a retarded patient in a mental institution. With my blurred sight and hands flipping and banging in all directions, I almost beat him up while he was trying to make me calm 'coz he knew that I was thinking something which is not right. And he's right. I was thinking that he would be doing something unexpectedly like he's going to ruin my life by raping me.

I was only tamed from my wildness when I heard a sign and a romantic tune playing. My mind was cleared during that time. Looking around the place, I was surprised and at the same time, was ashamed with what I did. It was a very romantic place. He has set a very romantic dinner date just for the two of us. Candles and red roses surrounded the place. The table was set at the middle with brilliant furnishings and served with sumptuous foods and luxurious wine. Beside it are three persons playing lovely tunes out of their violins and cello. The night was so quiet and the sky was full of stars. But before I forgot, I was with Mel when I came here. Looking for him, I saw him lying on the floor almost unconscious. I then hurriedly run to him. I cried and asked for forgiveness to him like he was dying. While shaking his body and asking him to answer me, he opened hi eyes wide open and shook his head to gain consciousness. After gaining enough strength, he then rose up and assisted me to get up and asked me why I did that thing. I said that I've only mistaken his true purpose of being unable to do what he used to. I was really sorry that time. But despite what had happened, as said in a pageant when unexpected things took place, the show must still go on. We ate and drank what he prepared with the romantic motif made by the venue. We also chat about the things each one of us has been through before this special moment. We admitted that were both victim of playful destiny.

After a plentiful of laughter and talk, he decided to take my hand and took me to the dance floor. We danced to the rhythm like we own the own whole floor. Until accidentally, while in the middle of dancing, while he was so close to me, holding and pampering my hair and commenting on my beauty, he stepped into my foot. He held tightly into my hair like Rapunzel's prince charming when he visits her. Though he has held into my hair, he still slipped into the floor. With my newly coddled shiny, silky, and untangled hair, he suddenly lost his grip. Unexpectedly, I lost my balance and also slipped and fell to where he has fallen. Again, accidentally, I lay on his top, face to face, our eyes on strong contact, and our lips an inch away. My heartbeat recorded an abnormal count during that scene. Our lips are about to collide when suddenly, a shake from my arm and a call interrupted us. Slowly, an image of a lady smiling at me appeared clearly. It was the attendant at the beauty salon who has just finished my hair while I was sleeping. The lady was telling me that I made strange noises while I was sleeping. She was so frightened that something bad has happened to me. I was so ashamed during that scene. I never thought I could fall asleep while pampering myself to be gorgeous for my date with Mel. Behind all of these, I'm still happy with this humorous, yet magical experience 'coz it seemed to be so good to be true.
