Chapter 5 (First Day of Being an UNDER-standing)

"Good morning babe." I greet her with a husky voice and kiss her forehead.

"Good morning."she said and hug me.

"Let's go. We need to be early in our date." yes! We have our date today. This is our first date. Because I never tried to ask her for a date. She try to ask me for a date before but I always rejected her offer.

We prepare hurriedly and we immediately go when we are both ready. I've never felt like this before. Ever since I've never tried to go on a date with any girls. Because dating for me is for teenagers only. And when I'm at the teenager stage I was too focus in my study. My parents always pressure me about my studies. And that is my first reason why I'm mad at them. And my anger became deeper when they arrange me into marriage and that is Claire. But now I was thankful to my parents because they do it to me. Eventhough it took too long for me to discover what I feel I'm still too happy. Better late than never. We go everywhere. We go to the amusement park, mall, famous restaurants and many more places that we like to go to. We enjoy our date a lot. And gere we are at the Park where a few minutes after there will be a fireworks. We are sitting at the very center in which the fireworks will be seen clearly.

"Thankyou Albert." my wife speak while her head is leaning at my shoulder. I look at her and our eyes meet. I smile at her before answering.

"For what babe?"after asking her I hug her tightly.

"Thank you that you make me feel this way. You make me feel happy even just for today. This is our first date and yet it is memorable. And I will never forget this day where I assure that you are totally mine. And no one will take it away from me."she said and hug me back. I beomitted my hug first then hold her face to see her eyes. I smile at her then slowly kissing my wife. And exactly the fireworks is go off to the sky that forms a beautiful colors and shapes. We still kissing until the fireworks end. A few second I letting go her lips slowly.

"I love you Claire."I said and give ger a smack kiss in the lips. She feel shock and happiness.

"I love you too Albert. Tell the last breath I have." she smiles back to me. But I feel a little bit pain inside my chest knowing that God give me a Claire that will last shorter in my arms. I forced a smile in her. I don't want to ruin the moment of the two of us.

"I love you. I know I can't stay by your side until we get older but I wish that I will still stay in your heart forever."and those words from Claire makes my tears falls down. I wipe it then look at her eyes deliberately.

"I will Claire. I will never let my heart let go of you. And I wish also that even if we can't be together in a long period of time but please promise me that I'm the only man you loved and will love until the end." I said in the middle of my tears.

"I promise. So let's go home, it's too late we need to rest." she pulled me up and we are holding each others hand while going home.
