precious dress so simple for the night, finally the night that every one is waiting to come.
it was David’s grandmother birthday.
she was wearing a black mid dress, she just put a pair of heart shaped stud earring and also she wear a necklace with a heart pendent.
she didn’t know if she was excited because her heart was beating so fast inside her chest or if she was nervous that something might happen tonight at the party.
she heard a knock on her door, her mother was telling her to be fast so that she won’t be late at the party.
she looks herself in the mirror and she looks so beautiful she picked up her handbag and ready to go out.
she went straight to their sitting room and saw David sitting on the couch waiting for him, he looks so handsome as well.
David look at her and Saw how beautiful she is looking,
precious you are always beautiful, everything about you is perfect and I bless the day I met you.
“will you be my date tonight?” David said and precious mom chuckled.

okay shall we go now?.
she nodded.

as they went outside, he opened the car door for precious, precious enter the car and thank him.
he drove off.

I’m fine.
“that’s great, don’t be shy once we are home okay?
Aunty Rose is there but don’t mind her, he said.
alright thank you, I promise to seal my mouth but not when she insult me.

he decided to turn on the music.
“I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

lucky to be coming home with my best friend
these were the lyrics of the song”
The lyrics of the song kept echoing inside her head. how could this song be so timely? why will he be playing this kind of song, I don’t get it.
she decided to close her eyes.
when the car stop because of the red light, he cough to draw the attention of precious.
I don’t want to think that you are sleeping, because I can see your eyeballs moving he said.
I don’t know what is wrong, you have been avoiding me, I feel like you no longer want me by your side, if this is because of the feeling that I confessed to you, then accept my apology, iam so sorry precious, but what my heart says is true, I know deep inside me that I love you so much, David said.
she wanted to open her eyes, but she didn’t know what she should be saying.
should I say I love him too, the truth is I love him as well but I’m still afraid.
David I’m not avoiding you, just like I said before wait for me, I will give you my answer in a right time, I’m still processing it.
is alright and I’m ready to wait for you forever because I’m deeply in love with you.
soon they arrived at their mansion, he kiss her on her forehead before he came down to open the car door for her. precious almost fainted because the way he kissed her.
the place felt so magical and then on the corner was the grand piano, it was as if it was intention put there for her to play the piece which was David grandmother favorite.
she didn’t know what she should be doing, when she saw all the family looking at her.

but I’m sorry if tonight I’m going to take away your spotlight from you David added.
he noticed the confusion from the guest but his grandma was smiling at him.
for the past few months, there were a lot of things that happened and I could say that they were not perfect but there were the best bumps that I have encountered in my whole life.
I don’t want to let the chance slip, I don’t want anyone else to come ahead of me, so even if it’s grandmother’s birthday I took permission from her.
then the music played.
he wanted to cry because of the song
God gave me you the lyrics of the song
David feel like his whole world slow down as he walked towards precious who was sitting in front of the grand piano, he could see that she was also confused.
He knelt on the ground, he looked at her and then got the little box from his pocket.
he took a deep breath and continue.
I know I am being so fast precious but I cannot betray myself, I know that I love you and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, I have been thinking about this for such a long time and this is the perfect timing, he said and he didn’t notice that tears have started falling from his eyes.
precious covered her mouth, she was surprised about everything.
we have met in an extra ordinary way. then he opened the little black box that he was holding, there were diamond ring inside the box, and it seems like it was made specially for precious.
precious was in awe.
say yes, say yes the crowd was shouting.
David was looking at precious and she could see the confusion in her eyes, it was as if she didn’t know what to say.
but for some minutes his heartbeat doubled, he couldn’t understand why precious was taking so long to answer him.
he didn’t know if he should stand up or not, because precious was not moving his body.
he took another deep breath, as he tried to calmed himself down, his mind was in turmoil and he could feel the eyes that were staring at them.
he started to call her attention, I know that you didn’t have any idea that this would be happening tonight as I didn’t give you any clue, but I’m here precious waiting for your answer
please will you make me the happiest man in Earth? will you spend the rest of your life with me, he asked again, he felt like his knees were melting.
it took another couple of seconds before finally, she moved her hand, it felt like a dream when precious nodded her head and tears were already flowing down her cheeks.
what is it precious? Sonia said as if she was encouraging precious to answer.
“Y—— yes David it’s yes she said in-between her tears.
David was also crying, because he never expected precious answer, he stood up and started to put the engagement ring in previous finger.
