It Started With A Dingdong [short story]

"Coming!"

When I opened the door, I saw the pizza man again. But now, he's wearing a formal suit- not a pizza man's uniform. When I tried to look closely, he's handsome.

Hmmm...not bad.

"Miss Sophia, I believe your life is in danger now. Please move out of this house. That's an immediate order."

"W-wait! I-I don't understand! W-who a-re-"

Before I could finish my sentence, he carried me.

I could feel my heart beat so fast. The people are now looking at us.

"H-help! This man's-"

I felt a sudden warmness on my lips that stopped me from finishing my sentence. When I looked down, our eyes met. Again, I felt that strange feeling... Moreover, it was too late when I realized what happened...we kissed! 

"So sorry everyone, but I'm taking my girlfriend on a surprised date"

Before I could react, the people just started clapping their hands.

* W-what the hell's going on?!

He put me inside a limo. 

"W-where are you taking me?" I asked. I'm really sweating alot; plus my heart's beating strangely, I think Im gonna have a breakdown.

"Somewhere safe..."

A scent emits from the limo...Smells like...smells...home.

Before I knew it, everything turned dark. I forced myself to be awake and alert; but the scent's so powerful that I couldn't help it.

"Sleep well Pia"

Mom...dad...

- - - - - 

I woke up. My head still feels dizzy. Most importantly, where am I?

It's dark...so dark. My body feels heavy. Is it because of what I'm wearing?

Suddenly, a candle lit.

"W-who are you! S-show yourself! I have no money or any treasures to give you. I only have my life, and I don't want it to be ruined by you or any people. P-please, just let me go."

"Pia, I have searched for almost my entire life to find you. And now you're saying me to let you go?"

A man's voiced said. 

Seriously, I'm so tired with this 'mysterious' man thing that's been happening since yesterday.

And Pia? He knows my name too? Am I the only one here who's innocent?

"Don't you remember me?"

"Well, how can I know you when it's so dark?"

I heard him chuckle. 

"Sorry, my bad."

Suddenly, lights showered as if there's fireworks. I looked at my environment. I'm in a cute room with roses all over. The red-tiled floor matches perfectly with the balloons (corny XD). When I looked at my clothes, it's different. It's a cute gown. I also think that my long hair's fixed. When I raised my head, a banner was there.

"Please be my side Pia. Marry me"

Whaaaaaat! A proposal? Wait...I-i don't even have a boyfriend or a friend. S-so...h-how come...

"Surprised?"

Again...this man...why does he keep on showing up?

"Super! A-and w-who are you?"

"You really don't remember me?"

"Oh! You're that postman and the pizzaman!"

 "Silly! Don't you remember me from 12 years ago? You're breaking my heart you know."

I tried to search my memories from 12 years ago...Well, how the heck will I remember it when I was only merely six years old? My head hurts a lot...

*wait!

i do remember something...something...

I felt my face burn when I remembered those words. Gosh, why did I forgot such an important thing?

"K-ken" I said shyly. I lowered my head because my face's burning and I'm so embarassed I forgot the only friend I had.

"Hahahaha. You really look cute when you blushed. Anyway, I'm here to fulfill my promise."

"Y-yeah" I still said with my head lowered "Y-you don't need to mention that"

I felt a hand touched my chin. Slowly, my head raised. I met his eyes and started to feel that feeling...the feeling something that's being filled or something. A void that's been filled with life. Yes...this is...

He slowly put his lips into mine. It was so blissful. 

"It was so hard finding you. It took me four years. I just can't believe that you're infront of me. The woman that I love so much. I was shocked when I saw you. Not because you're in a wheelchair-but because y-you're really beautiful."

"I also couldn't believe it. That that little Ken I knew once is now a very handsome man." I said. Tears are now flowing on my cheeks.

"So, what was that letter about?"

"Oh, that. Hehehe. Just a prank!"

*I knew it.

"You still didn't change even after these years.

-12 years ago-

"Hi!

A boy approached me.

"May I know your name?" He asked me.

"S-sophia. But my mom and dad calls me 'Pia'"

"Oh hi Pia! I'm Ken!"

He raised his hand from the other side of me, and  faced the other side.

"You're funny Ken, I'm here!" I said.

"Oh! Where? I'm sorry, I'm blind."

Oh. So that's why.

"Im here!" I swayed my chair into his side and started pinching his cheek.

"Your hands are warm. Can we be friends?"

"Mmm!" I replied.

"Wait, how did you know I'm here if you're blind?"

"The other kids just told me to come in this direction if i want a friend."

Since that day, we became official friends.

Everyday, we played. We share some stories and stuff. I wasn't lonely on that place. Since both our parents are busy, we are put in a daycare for disabled. But my happy days are so short.

"I'm leaving for good"

"Where?"

"Somewhere called Germany."

"Is Germany far?"

"I don't know. My mom told me that in that place, I will be able to see."

"W-well...g-good for you. H-have a happy trip!" Tears are suddenly pouring in my poor face.

"If you're crying, don't;I'll find you!"

I sniffed. 

"Is that true?"

 "Yep!"

"Promise you'll find me?"

"Sure!" 

"And marry me?"

"With pleasure!"
