It’s already middle of the night but Alfred Blossom could not still get his sleep. The sale of the flowers in the Blossom Bloom Garden was doing well. Worries terrified him so much that he might commit a shortcoming that would damage the good condition of the business
He could not still figure out how come that he, the caused of his parents heartaches would have a wonderful life and family.
“I am sorry. My parents have discovered our relationship and they ordered me to relocate abroad to be away from you,” Dina told him crying one lonely day.
“But we’re not doing anything wrong,” Alfred answered while tapping his girlfriend’s back.
“They had mentioned that we’re not the same. I am rich and you are not only poor but homeless drop out from school who stow away from home. They said that you might influence me badly,” she sobbed and ran away.
“ You forgot your rose,” Alfred shouted while holding loosely the flower that supposed to be his gift to his beloved lady.
Years passed rapidly, the one lonely rose that Alfred had planted in his backyard gave way to the birth of new ones. The warm breeze of spring guided the dull garden as it bloomed to beautiful paradise. The little flower that became a part of a very sad moment did not let itself be decayed or destroyed. Like Alfred’s love, it merely took the uncontrolled change of time as a challenge that it’s beauty and fragrance could stay through time.
Alfred didn’t anymore waste his time in the disco bar and the dim street. He consumed his years in the burning his eyebrows in the school and in the libraries. Even it was difficult to study and work at the same time, fatigue had never sprouted in his strong spirit. He needed to prove to the Richmond that he was qualified to their child’s heart.
Until one day, while he was sipping his breakfast coffee, a bold headline in the front page of the morning newspaper stunned his trembling eyes.
RICHMOND HEIR DONATES WHOLE WEALTH IN CHARITY
A big WHY? Played in his mind at that time. But his query was answered when a chime was heard from the doorbell. He nervously opened the door and he discovered a gorgeous lady carrying a big baggage.
At the beginning, he was in the very earth and Dina was in the heaven. Reason why in the last past years, he struggled so hard to climb up and prove that he was deserving for his angel’s love.
Alfred’s tears suddenly fell when he realized how lucky he was. He glanced his sleeping wife at the other side of the bed and he sweetly smiled. He had never imagined that his only angel would tear her golden wings and would go down to be with him. Because they both made their own part, they met at the center of the world, far from the troubles of the world and away from the strict life of the heaven.
