Marry Me
love story
I'm standing here under this pouring rain thinking about her, of the first time we met. I knew instantly that she was the one. I know it sounds cliché but its true. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my time on this earth with her and only her.
the first time we met was in that cafe right across the street. she was sitting there by the window alone just by herself I wanted to talk to her but I couldn't I didn't have the balls to go up to her so I sat right where I was in the corner and just looked at her.
the way she looked out that window ....it made me wonder what exactly was she looking at if I didn't know any better I would say she was looking at the gates of heaven. there was this admiration in her eyes.... so I didn't talk to her that day.
or the next day or the next one I would go to that cafe every morning for breakfast and she was always there looking out the window drinking her coffee it was like that for a couple of months. I would go watch her every morning till one day when I went inside her chair was empty. I went and sat at my usual spot in the corner waiting for her to come but she didn't after a while I got up and went to that booth the mystery booth I sat exactly where she always sat and stared out the window curious of what she liked so much about it.
"amazing view isn't it?"
suddenly I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up.
she was standing right there looking at me with a questioning look in her eyes suddenly I remembered her comment on the view, she expected me to answer
"it's beautiful"
'so that was what her voice sounded like?'
"indeed it is" and then she sat down right across from me like nothing special had happened. like it was a routine for us to sit at this table across from each other and talk about the view .
and then she started talking asking about me and my life I told her everything but I didn't ask anything I was afraid I would scare her away so after a couple of hours we both had to leave.
the next day I got butterflies when I was about to go in the cafe I pushed the door open and stepped in I headed straight for my usual spot in the corner I didn't have the courage to go to her booth what if she didn't want me there?...
"jimmy" I turned and looked at her she had noticed me and now she was calling my name.
she had remembered my name .
"come here" how could I possibly not comply? so I turned around completely and smiled at her then I headed to where she was sitting .
sat across from her just like yesterday and just like yesterday she started talking and asking me questions and she would laugh at my funny answers
I started to get some confidence so next day when I walked in the cafe I went straight to her booth. she smiled and greeted me we started talking and this time I started asking questions too. asking her about everything and nothing and she told me all the answers over the next couple of months we got to know each other even better .
I learnt everything there was to know about her. every little detail and there was only one thing else in this world that I knew as good as her and it was the fact that I was in love with her.
so one day I decided I was going to ask her to marry me it was only about a year since that first day we met but I was sure of my decision so I bought the one ring I knew she would choose if it was up to her and went to the place it all started that cafe I sat there waiting for her to come.
she came greeted me with a kiss and sat across from me smiling
"hey"
"hi"
"so whets up?"
"what do you mean whats up?"
"come on Jim your eyes are sparkling whets the news?"
"well I...I wanted to you know, know your thoughts about something?"
"well what is it?"
"well...w.."
and then her phone started ringing
'great just great perfect timing buddy'
as I was going through my little speech in my head I started watching her talk to the person with great timing
"are you sure there is no one else?"
"ok I'll be there" and then she looked at her watch
"ok bye"
"it was my boss one of my colleagues hasn't come and I'm the only one who can fill his place so I have to go early I'm so sorry"
"it's ok "I gave her a reassuring smile even though I was really disappointed
"I'll be back tomorrow and well talk about it ok"
"ok" she got up and kissed me one last time going to work in a rush and leaving me here and know 4 days later I'm standing here in the pouring rain thinking about her thinking about the first time we met.... at that cafe
"would you like to say anything ?"
the sound of the priest snapped me out of my thoughts he was standing her with a sad look in his eyes asking me if I wanted to say my last words to my girlfriend
I shook my head " I can't"
he gave me an understanding look and went on with his speech and suddenly the tears started dripping down my cheeks but no one noticed good thing it was raining
so where was I ?oh yes the next morning when I went to that cafe she wasn't there I waited but she never came finally after waiting for about 5 hours and calling her a thousand times I gave up went home and fell asleep the next day I woke up early and went to her house to pick her up so we could go to the cafe together I rang the bell and after a good 5 minutes her mom opened the door and instantly knew something was wrong her eyes looked blood shot and she looked like she was about to collapse
"she is gone she got in an accident yesterday when she was going to work she didn't make it"
she wished the last words and started crying
how I whished she would just start laughing and tell me that it was a joke but she didn't I knew that it was no joke suddenly my legs gave up under me and I fell on my knees this was the end of my world
the sound of a crow brings me out of my thoughts I look around and see that everybody has left even her family now it's just me and her I fell to my knees in the mud
I look at the site across the street it's that cafe our cafe I can see our booth from where I am its empty and now that imp finally in this place know why she liked this view so much the cemetery has its own special feeling it's the silence the weight of thousands of dead souls
"hey "
after a few minutes of silence I decided this was the best opportunity it was the moment so I pulled out the ring
"the thing I wanted to know your thoughts about ? well ...here is the question" I took a deep breath
" will you marry me?" and I waited for my answer but it was dead silent
"please say you will"
still no answer then I realized she was dead she couldn't answer anymore
I would forever wonder what her answer would be I couldn't take it any more I throw myself on her grave and started crying sobbing and shaking
"please say you will please...."
the first time we met was in that cafe right across the street. she was sitting there by the window alone just by herself I wanted to talk to her but I couldn't I didn't have the balls to go up to her so I sat right where I was in the corner and just looked at her.
