Chapter 210 - 210: Until Forever

Halora tightened the grip on the card as she couldn't control her emotion anymore. It was filled with thousands of butterflies and she has no idea of what was really going on.

"W- why… why me?" she murmured and asked herself if she was truly deserved of these things.

And the prose effortlessly touched her soul as if there was a man in front of her and said those beautiful words.

However, she must follow the instructions or it would turn out to be a clutter. Suddenly, the trees around the school garden swayed when a strong wind blew it up.

Fear drawn on her face as she hurriedly held the card tightly and looked for a small box inside. Until she found it the moment, she scooped the petals on the left corner of the box.

Fascinated and surprised of everything, Halora stared at the box when she noticed something on the bottom. She sighed, looked through out the peaceful garden..

"Go to the gymnasium and bring the box, unopened." she murmured as it was written evidently.

"I have to go by now and see by myself if this is true or… just a childish prank."

There was hope and pain in her voice but Halora didn't throw the chance away; a chance to be a special girl for a day.

Slowly, she talked steps closer to the gymnasium without any idea that there was a big surprise organized by someone who loved her.

Every step and breath she made, Halora felt like she was in the clouds and floated like a weightless feather. Her heart filled with both excitement and joy that couldn't be described through words.

She said, "Huh, why is it my heart beat this way after some quite time?"

But a little boy suddenly blocked her way that startled and surprised her to death. He looked adorable like the boy earlier and he was holding a red flower too.

He smiled widely at her and he said, "You are really beautiful like what he said to me earlier!"

"He? Do y- you know what is his name, little boy?" she narrowed her eyes and waited for his answer.

Yet, he shrugged off his shoulders and pouted his thin, bow-shaped lips. "I'm sorry, but I forgot to ask his name. But he told me to give this flower to you."

He stooped closer and gave the flower to her thus, she has still one, last question. She blinked her eyes, opened her mouth but the moment she looked at his way, he was gone and disappeared suspiciously.

"Why do they vanish that way? For heaven's sake, I have more questions to ask!"

She facepalmed, rubbed her neck irritatingly as she walked straight into the next destination with the flowers and box.

Along the way, she noticed that there were students who gathered at the wide field. She wondered why but it was not her business anymore, so she turned her head and looked into the gymnasium that seemed strangely noiseless.

Halora narrowed her eyes, paused for a couple of minutes and waited. As the wind rubbed on her skin, suspicious voices suddenly echoed around that brought her back to her senses.

The transition of their voices changed into a sweet, romantic rhythm that urged her stay still and cherished the moment.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and the first thing she noticed were her friends who gathered in the middle the students who stood in a circular position.

Her eyes twinkled as thousands of questions popped into her head. She felt naïve until Jasmine walked into her way and wore her perfect, killer smile.

"This is for you, Halora." spoke Jasmine, gave the white flower and embraced her tightly and walked back into the middle.

Halora wiped off her wet forehead as it was getting intense and unpredictable. Until she saw Zenith who looked fresh and beautiful. "W- what is going on? I… I thought you are in the hospital, resting a- and gaining back your strength?"

"Hmm, it was just part of the plan. So, you better prepare yourself and don't worry about me, do you get me?" Zenith gave the red flower to Halora and she gently tapped her back.

Zenith knew that she owed the truth to Halora but it wasn't the perfect for her explanation. There were much more than her alibis and for the last, Roy bowed his head as he went closer to his best friend.

He said, "You deserve everything in this world, Halora. I am happy for you and no matter what happen, choose to hold on and let your love conquer it all."

Sincerity shown on his glowing eyes, reached and held Halora's wet hands for a second. "Let me escort you to the gymnasium but before that, let Jasmine put you a blindfold." he added that surprised Halora.

"W- why? Is it… is it really needed?"

"Stand still, Halora!" scowled Jasmine while Zenith helped her tied up the blindfold.

Roy rubbed his chin and asked, "Can you see anything? Please, we need your honesty this time around, Halora."

"I… I can't see anything! And please, tell me it's not just a childish prank!" Halora begged while the three of them looked into each other's eyes.

They said, "It's not, of course! Just stay quiet and wait until you see it."

From then, Halora shut her mouth up while Roy escorted her into the gymnasium that was surrounded by a lot of students who carried different color of flowers. And the entire surroundings were filled with thousands of fragrant petals and scented candles.

In the middle, there was a huge heart made up of petals and a young man who held a bouquet. He looked stunning and handsome but nervous at the same time.

Patiently, he waited for the girl he sacrificed his life for. And after a long, long time, he was determined and prepared to tell her the truth.

Until one of the cues exclaimed, "They're coming! Stand by and prepare yourselves!"

As it echoed around, Sebastian took a deep breath, hoped that it would be a perfect and successful surprise ever. "I'm willing to wait for you until forever, Halora." he whispered to the wind.
