SAY HELLO IN THIS CAFÉ

Start from the beginning
                                    

I looked at the food and those recipes are not usually served here.

"I personally cooked those for us, baby."
Lisa's Mom said and I am excited to eat!

I held Lisa's hand. We're flirting with each other through our stares.

"Love, why are there two vacant chairs?"
I asked.

Lisa held my hand tighter and she pointed behind me using her pouting lips.

I looked back and...

Oh my god!

My Dad and step mom are here!
Dad has a guitar on his hand!

Lisa walked me towards them and I really cried hugging my Dad so tight!

Lisa approached my step mom and hugged her.

"Dad!!l Oh my god! I missed you! I am happy to see you!
It's–it's bee three years, Dad!"
I am sobbing.

"I am happy that I am here with you now, my baby! So happy!"
My dad is in tears too.

Lisa took the guitar so Daddy can hug me tighter.

Then he led me to my step mom.

"Hi, Jennie. I am Stella."
She said and I can see in her eyes that she is excited to see me too.

She hugged me tight and I am so happy to meet her finally!

"Hi, Mom! Thank you. Thank you for being here."
I said while still crying.

Both of my parents are crying.

Then to my surprise when I turned around to go back to the table with them...

Lisa is kneeling with her one knee on the ground and playing a song.

Oh my god.

I know the song when she plucks the intro and it made me aware of what's going to happen.

I cried more when Lisa started singing.
My god!
It's "Marry Me" by Train.

Forever can never be long enough for me
to feel like I've had long enough with you

I can't stop crying especially when Lisa's tears are starting to fall too!

Forget the world now, we won't let them see.
But there's one thing left to do.
Now that the weight has lifted,
love has surely shifted my way.

Our parents are crying. Our friends. Mama Joan and Tina. We all felt Lisa's sincerity.
They all felt our love.

Marry me
today and every day.
Marry me.
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe,
say you will.

Lisa is really good in playing instruments and her voice will always be something that calms me.
And this moment, this will always be remembered. So simple, intimate yet heartfelt.
