100 The get-well-soon cake

"Then what happened?"

-Like a curious kid listening to a night-story, Mitshua's mother was completely following the rhythm that I set up.

"Of course, things that should happen between a lone boy and a lone girl happened. We started spending time together, talked a lot then just last week I couldn't hold back my feelings for her and confessed to her. She was overjoyed and accepted me."

"At first, she was not confident that her family would accept me but after assuring her many times she finally nodded. I promised her that I will become a successful person worthy of her and will only meet her parents when I achieve great success."

"But Aunty, this young love is too deep and alluring…the moment I heard she was sick I couldn't control myself from visiting her house."

"Please forgive me!"

I hurriedly knelt down on my knees to ask for an apology.

Mitshua's mom too got up from her chair.

There were small tear-drops already at the corners of her eyes.
