Sir Cacao Point of View

Is she going to have a heart attack out of overwhelming surprise and happiness she is feeling now?

Can't be right?

I still need her alive.

Did I dazzle her too much that she is even panting like a race horse?

"Anete Allard," I looked up at her gently. When I felt the friend who was carrying the ring bog for me slowly started to climb up my back, I prepared to take the proposal to the final stage.

I took her left hand that was hanging by side and felt that it was shivering a little. I held her hand in both my hands and patted it as to calm her down from excitement.

The excitement on her face is too much that she went so pale that for a moment I couldn't see her apart from the white walls. Right now, she is more like swaying like a leaf in a tornado than merely shivering.

Can she be any more thrilled?

My Butter Tart,I tell you! She is the most amazing girl I've ever seen; second only to me.

"I know this might come off suddenly but do you know when I first saw you, my heart went off like thousands of bells ringing at the same time. Do you know when I saw you the first time?" Seeing that Anete just nodded her head and proceeded to wipe off the sweat from her forehead, I waited for her compose herself and answer.

She looked between me and the friend that came to my help with the ring box, Mr. snaky, now coiled himself around my neck, Anete's tongue rolled out and imitated Mr. Snaky by wetting her lips.

"In Ilaria's office when Tiny brought you to introduce you to Zorion."

"Nope." I shook my head and gave her the second chance to answer. When I saw her looking at me confusedly, I answered it myself. "I first saw you three years ago in the paragliding mountain range. You were wearing leather outfit and look like a beautiful soldier who is ready to kill everyone in the way. That smile, that eagerness to fly, that thrill to let go everything, it made me suffocated."

At that time, I still remember that she went to the mountain top several times and went on gliding for at least thirteen times.

I was actually there after I read from one of the letters from Drizzle that the place is amazing and thrilling telling me that she – nay, he liked the place a lot.

I was there to experience it but who would've expected to see a goddess dressed in black. She was a bomb!

"The next time I saw you was seven months later in a virtual gaming zone. You were playing a game where you were in the character of a thug and beating the other animated characters to pulp. Do you know how fast my heart raced when I saw your satisfied smile at that time. I never thought I would meet you the second time but when I did, you surprised me haunted my heart again."

"Really? I did not see you then." She gasped as stared down at me in shock.

"Yes. A week later, I saw you yet again for the time and this time, I already decided that you were meant for me. Like they say, 'once is accident, twice is coincidence and thrice is either destiny arranged it or people plotted it'. The third time I saw you was in Tibet in a Buddhist temple and you were there to provide them with welfare funds. I only learnt then that you have been providing the funds to that particular old temple for many years because the monk that passed away not soon ago once solved a dilemma of yours."

I realized then that she has a heart of platinum. The monk that passed away only solved a small dilemma of hers but she was grateful enough to provide the funds to keep the temple standing till today.

I also realized then, Anete is a person who would return anything in several folds; either good or bad.

"What were you doing in Tibet then?" Anete asked and this time, she was surprised to the core. She did not expect that she already woke up fire of passion in my heart for so many years.

Say, will she bawl out now with gratitude?

"On a small trip with my cousins. I lost my way and found you." With that said, I bent a little and kissed the hand I was holding and left a small hickey on the back of her hand.

"An year later, I met you for the fourth time. I was running away from my anti-fans. To hide from them, I disguised myself like a beggar and bumped into you. That was the first time I touch you. I even felt the classic reaction of electricity passing through my body when I touched you. Pity, I was in a beggar uniform and I smelled bad because of occupational requirement. However, you did not even frown at me and just left like that."

I liked her even more at that time. She was such a good woman and she already made me go normal by then.

Since people said I was already a little crazy, so she drove me normal.

"Two months later I saw you in a spa. We were sitting in the seats beside each other and were getting our hair done and getting a massage treatment. You did not see me but I saw you. Even though men salon and women salon were different, when getting body massage, we were only separated by a curtain at that time."

"You didn't tell me all this before!" By now, Anete's eyes are creating a new saltwater source for the planet. She was crying to that extent.

But I can't be called a Cupid if I couldn't differentiate between happy tears and sad tears. She was crying because she couldn't her delight.

"Cacao –" She looked at me with so much love and emotions. For sure she couldn't think of words to express what she is feeling right this moment.

"After that and before we finally came face to face in Ilaria's office, I saw you for six more times and every time my eyes landed on you, my heart landed out of ribcage. Anete Allard –" I took a deep breath and finally looked into her eyes with seriousness.

"Is this now reaching the high point in the drama?" Peach exclaimed a little and crunched on popcorn loudly. I ignored the audience around and their loud commentary and got down to business.

"My Butter Tart, I don't love you." Anete's eyes widened.

"Enough to fit you in not just my heart but also in my liver and kidneys."

"I don't love you." I stopped pointedly again.

"More than I love myself but I do love you as much as I love myself." I completed, giving her a wink.

"You are spicy and sweet all the same time. You make me sour sometimes like a green lime. If loving you is a crime, then I am going to carry it on my finger as a proud chime. Anete Allard, be mine." I finished and patted Mr. Snaky head which was resting on my shoulder.

At my signal, he slowly crawled on my arm that was holding Anete's. When he started to near her hand, I felt Anete shiver a little but I only patted her hand in assurance.

Mr. Snaky, when he neared her hand, he opened his mouth and slowly swallowed her ring finger.

"Oh my God, what is happening? Cacao, have you gone nuts?" Theia, the drama queen of the family, squealed.

She looked absolutely horrified and so does everyone at this time but I did not mind about their reaction. Anete, on the other hand has calmed down and looked brave.

That is my Butter Tart!

Mr. Snaky swallowed her ring finger and when he slowly left her finger, her finger already has a ring on it. On the platinum band stood a honeybee and on it stood a light pinkish diamond stone.

Now that the ring is in its rightful place, I stood up and observed the shock on her face. Hooking my fingers under her chin, I got her attention.

"Anete, Let's –" Before I complete, Anete came back from trance and jumped up and down squealing and giggling.

"Yes Yes Yes. I love you too."

"I love you too. Let's get –" Again, before I complete, she hugged me.

"Yes Yes Yes, I will marry you."

"That's great. I want to marry you too. Anete, Let's –" Yet again...

"Yes Yes Yes, I will marry you as soon as possible." She was so happy that she is not even listening to me.

My Butter Tart is cutest silly person in the world.

"Alright we will do that too. But before that, Let's –" I waited for her to interrupt me but when she was grinning at me silently, I continued.

"Butter Tart, let's first welcome our first baby. This is Mr. Snaky, our new pet."
