The Prefect First Date

It was 5th of May 2009, she had ask me to wear a white shirt. It was her favourite colour, among many other things favoured. I picked my best white shirt. My only white shirt. I tried to pressed it to perfection, creased at the right places, elegant and I must say.. I look pretty darn good. I had to look at my best, it would make her day.

She had stolen my heart since the first time I saw her. I didn't know her for long but how can love be calculated by just the cumulative days we known each other. This was a feeling eternal. Love that exist in forms indescribable. In just 13 days, she has filled me with so much emotions. And this day was so important. It was "our special day," as I would very much like say it.

I was feeling nervous. I had done this many times, but it was a whole new level with her. While getting dressed, I prepared a list of mp3 song to be played during our journey in the car. I always wanted to be prepared. Music heals souls and it too removes awkward silence. I wasn't much of a talker. I was shy. I am shy.

As I were driving to pick her up, music's playing can't help falling in love with you by the king himself. It was unethical for me to ask her out, at least for the eyes of many. A wise friend once told me, nothing else matters when there's love. I remembered the first time I saw her cherry lips, so confident and perfect, and how she would smile for little things and pout for silly reason. I remembered her joyous laughter when she heard my silly jokes. Her simplicity was infectious, her innocence angelic. I knew then, nothing else matter.

Down her apartment, I took a few moments to regroup myself before calling her. There was always an air of nervousness about this one girl. She seemed to have full control, and I struggled to stay composed. After a few deep breaths, she came down.

And there she was, walking gracefully towards me. Looking more beautiful than ever, she was in her maroon sweatshirt. owh.. maroon... She had done up her hair, and some make-up on the face made her angelic look feel celestial. She smiles at me, and wave slight.

"Hi Kenangan Terindah Man," she grined.

"What are we doing tonight?" She continued..
