Part 8 ~~ The Birthday Celebration

The day arrived... It was Mel's birthday... She was waiting for Jacko to pick her up...

[Jacko]: Hi Mel... Sorry to keep you waiting... You... You look really beautiful in that lovely dress!
[Mel]: *Blushing* Thanks... So where are we going??
[Jacko]: Keep it a secret first... Why leh? You scare I sell you away ah? Haha..
[Mel]: I never thought of that lor... But now you mention it, i'm having a second thought..
[Jacko]: Well... It's too late now... Hahahaha

Jacko bought Mel to a resturant that was near the beach... He knew that Mel always love to hear the sound of the waves and be under the stars so the ambience was just perfect!

[Mel]: Jacko, I'm impressed! This place is really very nice...
[Jacko]: Glad that you like it!!! Come, follow me, I got a surprise for you!
[Mel]: What's that??
[Jacko]: Just follow me...

Mel just could hardly believe what she saw! Jacko lighted up the fireworks pathway for Mel to walk through while he sang her a birthday song! At the end of the pathway was a table with a small birthday cake lighted up with candles! The cake was obviously a home made one... Mel was moved to tears...

[Jacko]: Mel, I hope you dun mind... This is the first time I try to bake a cake... Hope it didnt look too horrible... And as you walked through the pathway just now, you noticed that the fireworks started to extinguish after a while... I know that you been kinda down all these while, I just hope that all your sadness will be gone just like the fireworks sparks and let me be with you through your ups and downs from this moment onwards... Can i???
[Mel]: Jacko...I... Actually inside my heart, there is someone that I had not forgotten completely... I wanna be fair to you... I need time...
[Jacko]: Mel... I understand but I dun mind! Even though you might not love me whole heartedly now, I believed that as time past by, with me, you will soon forget about your unhappy past and I will slowly take time to fill up your heart completely with all my love! I swear by the moon with all the stars as my witness that I will love you with all my heart...Will you give me this chance??

[Mel and Jacko]: *HuGz*

What more could Mel asked for? Jacko was always so understanding and caring towards her... Mel had a very unforgettable birthday celebration with Jacko! When Mel reached home, she saw a parcel lying on her bed...
