I’ve already cribbed enough about how romance seems to have taken a backseat in our lives.. add to that the Mr.’s ultra demanding job, staying back late at work, exam preps (he is sitting for another exam YET AGAIN urgh!), working weekends and this newfound addiction to Texas Holdem Poker and we are left with no time or opportunity for “romance” unless of course if cheesy facebook “pokes” count :P
It’s a no-brainer that I quit hoping for those random acts of TLC that would sweep me off my feet.. but I still like to think I’m this love struck teenager at heart and hey I still believe in miracles ;)
I forced myself to fall back to sleep thinking about the surprise that was in store and hoping to be woken up by his call or sms telling me to go ahead claim the goodies.. but that never happened.. I woke up a few hours later and decided I couldn’t take the suspense anymore.. texted him in between the class telling him how thrilled I was about the surprise and couldn’t wait to open it!
by the time I was done with my bowl of cereal I had decided I was going to open it anyway.. a part of me had been nagging me that it was far too unreal to be expected of UTP and it had to be something else :P then I noticed the surprise word was written with a girly PINK pen!! muahahhahaha!! no way in hell was this something the dude would do! did he even know they have pink pens now?!
So I went ahead and opened the envelope that said it shouldn’t be opened before requested to do so.. and sure enough, inside was a “pay it forward” kindness card asking one to smile and was a prop used by one of his teammates at the toastmasters public speaking clubs in her speech, it had just slipped out of his bag when he was hurriedly sorting out his books to leave for the class..

I smiled, not because the smile card asked me to; I sheepishly smiled for realizing it was my MTV Bakra moment of the day, for realizing that UTP will be calling any minute and laughing his head off, I smiled because I had something to recall and laugh about years from now and then I smiled some more..
