"Since I am going back home and I can get my pocket money for the next day, why not?" "but then NOW u are left with no money. What if u need to use it urgently?" HongKun took out his wallet, took out the 2 pieces of purple note and passed it to the little kid.
"1 packet please" HongKun said. After laying his eyes on the money, the little boy's eyes looked at the hand which was carrying them, and up to the eyes of the owner of the hand. The little boy let out a smile and hand HongKun a stack of 5 packet tissue. HongKun stuffed the tissues nicely into all the pockets he can find on his clothing. 2 on his butt, 2 at the sides, and 1 on his left breast pocket. HongKun stood up and just before he starts walking, HongKun turn around to face the little boy again. "Spend the money on yourself, and go get something nice to eat ok?" the little boy responded with a victory sign and a big smile.
HongKun's heart was beating at an unusual rate. For he has just slipped the box containing the necklace secretly into MeiFong's bag. MeiFong was off to the washroom as there was still some time before the flag raising ceremony. HongKun could not focus on anything that day. He kept thinking about how Meifong will respond to his note.
A loud peep on his handphone pierce through the silence of the class and broke HongKun's strings of thought. It was a message from MeiFong.
"There is a box in ur locker :D"
HongKun almost felt his heart skipped a beat. The wait for the class to end felt like the longest wait in his life. After the class, HongKun raced to his locker and there indeed lies a small box. It was the same box that he placed the necklace and the note in. HongKun opened the box and inside lays the note he wrote for Meifong. The necklace was no longer there. HongKun unfold the note and it looked no different from the copy in HongKun's memory….. except for a small "Yes :D" at the bottom right corner of the note, written in light blue"
HongKun can't believe his eyes. Looking closely again, the light blue word and the smiley is there to stay. HongKun was overjoyed. He took out his handphone and messaged MeiFong. It only takes a few seconds for the message to reach MeiFong's phone. Opening up the sms, a smile registered on MeiFong's face. On her phone lies the following words…
"Do I have the honor to put the necklace on for you over dinner today at Fish n Co?"
MeiFong replied the HongKun and catch up with her friends on their way to the tutorial class.
"Yes… My tutorial will end at 5.30. I'll see you at our usual bus stop :D"
Everything seems quite different as they stood next to each other at the bus stop. HongKun cannot stop smiling, MeiFong cannot stop blushing. During the bus trip they merely chatted about their day in school. Soon after the bus alighted at the bus stop at Plaza Singapura.
They had seafood platter for two and it was the most fabulous dinner HongKun ever had.
"Alright following up is an interesting dedication from a guy by the name of HK… today is the day they got together, oh congrats HK, and he would like to delicate the next song to his beloved gf, MF. Haha… ofcause I won't ask the couple to stand up thou I have a huge hunch that they are sitting on the right half of the restaurant. The song I chose- I don't wanna miss a thing, aerosmith." Said the singer before he begin singing.
Everything else seems to stop moving as HongKun and MeiFong listened to the song and just as the song finished, HongKun stood up and placed the necklace over MeiFong neck. Fulfilling his promise earlier to MeiFong on the bus when he took the necklace from her and told her he would make the day special for the both of them.
MeiFong was touched. She tried to resist her tears from falling but the force of gravity is too much for the amount of water deposited at the edge of her eye.
"You are so sweet…" whispered MeiFong as HongKun reaches over and wipe away her tears with the serviette.
HongKun felt his eyes moist, as he holds on to the box in his hands, still sitting on the toilet bowl. Suddenly he remembered. This box is the box that box he used to put the necklace that he gave MeiFong! He turn and look at the box closely. Just as he was looking at the bottom of the box, there lies a drawing that he could have so easily missed. It was a drawing of…
1. A victory sign
2. A heart shape
3. A water tap
