*Cringgg! Cringggg!*

I was unable to return to my sleep due to the sound coming from my phone. So I decided to wake up and pick up my phone on the side of the table near my bed. Exactly someone was calling so I answered it without looking at who it was.

"Good morning, Love." greetings from the man on the other line, I opened my eyes when I realized who it was.

I smiled and looked at the calendar on the wall to see what date it was.

3rd anniversary..

"Good morning too, Love" I greeted him while smiling broadly.

"To you too, can we meet tonight at our favorite place? 7 pm sharp."

Whaaaa! I think he had a surprise for me. My heart is pounding with joy! What can I wear later? I need to prepare my dress for this special occasion!

"Sure, love. I'll hang up this call and do my routines."

"Sure, I love you"

"I love you too"

I woke up in my bed and fixed it. I did my routine first before deciding to go downstairs.

"Tiiii, dwink." my younger brother Ethan called me when I got downstairs.

"Water? Wait. " I immediately go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Then I went back to the living room to give Ethan a drink.

"Here," I said.

When Ethan finished drinking the water, I immediately took the glass then I went to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast.

"Jade, are you done?" mom asked.

"Yes, mom. I just finished preparing our breakfast. "

When Ethan comes on the table, I carry him to sit, "eat! eat! "

"I'll feed him, you eat too." said mom.

I sat down next to Ethan's chair when there was a knock on the door. I looked at it and entered a tall man with messy hair obvious from running, thick eyebrows, round eyes. His towel was still hanging over his right shoulder while wearing earphones. He removed it before approaching our direction.

"Hi, Celestine! Hi, Ethan. Good morning, Auntie" He messed up my hair before approaching my mother.

"Yuck! The sweat on your forehead has gone into mom's hand," I rolled my eyes at him and chuckled.

"It's okay, Jayson. Sit next to Jade and you Jade, get your handsome friend a plate" mom ordered.

"What? He's not handsome!" I said as I fixed my hair and stood up.

"And you think you're beautiful?" he shot back but I just ignored him.

"Where have you been?" I heard my mother ask him.

"I just went out for a jog, Auntie. I want a healthy lifestyle. I'm going home too so I passed by your house" He laughed. I approached him to give him his plate and glanced at him.

"You just want to taste my cooking! By the way, you didn't even invite me to jog Jayson, you fool!" I slapped him on the shoulder.

"Ouch! It's too early for you to hurt me! I texted and called you this morning but I think you were talking to someone else. I also thought you might still be asleep or maybe you were talking to your boyfriend."

"You two are naughty and noisy, stop this kind of misbehavior. You are in front of food." Mom scolded us while laughing.

Jayson suddenly became serious about what he said. He just grabbed some food and talked to Ethan.

After breakfast, Jayson and I went straight to the living room to talk while watching Ethan play with his toys.

"Dylan and I have a date later," I informed and looked at him.

I saw him frown and adjusted his posture. He took a deep breath before asking.

"Why?" He asked.

"Today is our anniversary! I would have asked you what a nice surprise but he still seems to have surprised me because he called me this morning," I could not help but shudder.

"Where are you two going? Do you want me to take you there?" he asked.

"Oh, no, but thank you." I refused. He was about to tell me something when Ethan approached me.

"I want to dwink." Ethan said.

"Water? All right. " I was about to get up when Jayson got up first.

"I'll take it," he stood up and went to the kitchen.

I'm in the bedroom now and just finished taking a bath. It was only 5 in the afternoon.

"Too early," then I start putting some light makeup on my face.

That morning, after Jayson got some water for Ethan he also left immediately because his girlfriend called him. Yes, Jayson has a girlfriend. Maybe they will meet so he left early.

After 30 minutes,

I am looking for a comfortable dress. My choice was the black shoulder-top dress and I paired it with a 3 inch black heel. When I put it on I approached the mirror to look at myself and then I walked downstairs.

"You're so beautiful," mom praised me.

"Thank you mom. I have a date with Dylan tonight."

I walked to the kitchen to fix the basket I was going to take and she followed me. I prepared it when Jayson left because I had nothing else to think about. There was a sandwich with vegetables and mayonnaise, a fries, and oh! My favorite siomai.

"Huh? Ah, he won't pick you up here?" Mom asked. She felt worried about something but I just ignored it.

Surprisingly, every time we have a date, he always picks me up here at home. For the past 6 months, we have only met again in our favorite place. I just shrugged. I'll just ask him maybe later.

"Maybe, he has a surprise for me." I smiled at my mom.

"A-Alright, call Jayson to accompany you there." mom's said.

"No, mom. He's busy with his girlfriend and I don't want to disturb him." I said while getting the basket and checking it again if I have forgotten something.

After checking the basket, I already bid my goodbye to my mother.

I texted Dylan and told him that I was leaving after I came out from the house.

Will I still going to use my car? I shrugged. I'm feel like uncomfortable right now and I don't know why.

"Never mind," I said to myself and waited for a taxi. I waited a few minutes until a taxi passed by and stopped in front of me.

When I get inside, I immediately said the place where I was going to and checked my phone if Dylan had any replies.

No text? Maybe he's busy.

I dialed his number and call him.

*the number you have dialed is out of coverage area, please try again later*

I stare on my phone because I felt uneasy. He didn't answer my calls and even my texts but I continue to contact him until I reach the place.

"We're here, ma'am." the driver said.

The taxi driver dropped me off and then I started walking to get to the place. The air was starting to get cold but I ignored it even though the fabric of my dress was thin. I tried to call him again but he still did not answer so I just put my cellphone back in my pouch and stopped to check my foot. It was starting to swell so I removed my heels. Arrghh! I regret that I wear this kind of heel because now I having a very hard time walking. I have to reach the top, Dylan is waiting for me.

I am used to this place so I was able to walk quickly. When I got to the top, I saw the man standing while looking at the scene in front of him. I smiled and wondered how much I loved this person. I shouted his name and then he turned to me.

He was tall with curly hair, thick eyebrows, a fair complexion, with a sweet smile and he looked handsome in his favorite black T-shirt and pants with a pair of white shoes. He stroked his own hair with his hands and smiled at me as we approached to each other. I hugged him tightly. I miss him, I really miss him.

"Happy 3rd year anniversary, my love" I greeted him and I could not help but cry in front of him.

"Shhh, don't cry. Happy 3rd year anniversary, love." He turned to me and wiped away my tears.

"I'm always be here for you, even when I'm gone."  I looked in his eyes with confusion but later on, I ignored it because I'm enjoying this moment.

"I love you, Jade." he said and kissed my forehead.

We started to talk about us and what will happen to us in the future while sitting in the blanket. He lay down on my thigh while looking at the sky. I brush his hair using my hand and I can't stop but to stare at his beautiful features.

"What course will you take when you go to college? You already graduated in Senior High." He asked while looking at me.

"I'm choosing between Education or Business Ad. What do you think?"

"Hmm, teaching. I know you love kids so I know you can handle it," I just smiled at him because I was too preoccupied staring to his face.

"Love, what if I'm gone?" I stopped combing her hair and glanced at her.

"What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense, Dylan" I muttered. What is his problem?

Suddenly the wind blew, I closed my eyes so as not to be offended by what he said. I could not feel Dylan standing up. I just felt her suddenly hug from behind and then whispered in my ear.

"Jade, you will always remember that I love you and no matter where I am now you are still the only woman I love." I opened my eyes and did not notice that I was crying alone.

I searched for him as my tears continued to flow.

"Dylan?" I called.

I stood up and continued to call his name feeling heavy. I do not understand! I know Dylan is here.

"DYLAAAAAAANN !!!" I shouted for no reason. I tried to walk and keep calling him.

"Celestine." I turned to the source of that voice and saw Jayson walking towards me. When we got close he told me something I could not believe.

"No..That's not true! He even called me this morning! We always talk and date here. Wait! I'll show you our conversation!" I opened my phone and checked any message but I could not find anything. I started to panic and I searched for his number to try to call him. I couldn't stop crying because I was so nervous and annoyed because not a single message from him was there and I only saw my message.

"Stop it, Dylan died 6 months ago, Celestine!" Jayson said.
