I personally never imagined to get a bouquet of flowers
at my door. Even I indeed sometimes think that it would be sweet if someone
give me those. I ever read one of my friend’s bio on a social media which
stated “not one of the flowers kind of girl”. It was not wrong at all, but just
let’s be honest here. If anyone by any chance surprise you with flowers,
wouldn’t you be happy, though?
Flashback
to few previous years, when I was still in my teenage world. I “met” this guy
in a chat room on the internet. It was supposed to be a video chat one, but he
hasn’t got cam on his computer at that time. He only put a pic of him there.
The one and only picture of himself. White shirt, brown pair of eyes,
messy-curly blonde hair, and an awkward pose.
Honestly,
I wasn’t usually fancy a chat with a person that doesn’t want to show-off
themselves. It’s kind of awkward because I don’t even know how the other person
behind that screen look like. He could be a creepy old dude or even a naked guy
or… well, I don’t need to mention all the terrible possibilities here. Go on make
up your own imagination.
Anyways,
he started the conversation by saying “Hi” to me. Like people said, a simple hi
could lead you anywhere. After such a quite long interesting conversation, we
finally exchanged our Skype contacts. Since that day, we were having video call
for almost every day. But still, I have never seen his face ever.
To
tell the truth, I can be the evilest human being once I get my period. Whenever
I’m on period, I couldn’t even control my emotion at all. I can be happy for
five minutes, then be sad for no reason in next minute, or even go mad for
nothing. Girls, you know what I’m saying.
After
knowing each other for a week, I actually went mad at him for no such an exact
reason. Yep. I got my period at that time. He was being all nice to me, yet I
acted all moody to him all night. However, it was really impressive that he
didn’t even bother about me being bitchy. Then out of the blue, he asked my mailing
address. I wasn’t thinking of any bad things since I haven’t seen his face and
all. I just gave him my address right away, and he thanked me for that.
Few
days later when it’s still dawn, he sent a message telling me that if there’d
be a phone call that I should be answered. I said okay, but curious about who’d
call me. Unfortunately, he didn’t want to tell me a thing, but smiley emoji and
a simple word spell “s-e-c-r-e-t”. I didn’t have any guts to ask further about
it, so I just let it be a misery.
Exactly
around 6pm in a cloudy and exhausting day, I arrived at my dorm after a quite
long day doing a community service with my uni mates. I was pretty tired at
that time, but everything’s gone at once when I found a bouquet of roses at my
door. Yes, this lovely flowers. For me. From this guy I barely know from the
internet. Well, I’ve never received any flowers before. None ever gave me, even
my so-called-boyfriend. But this guy? I’m actually speechless.
Soon
after that, still in my so-happy-feelings I wrote a message to him on Skype. I
thanked him for what he did to make me happy and all that. I do really
appreciate his effort to send me these flowers. Because… you know it’s not that
cheap to purchase flowers and deliver it to another country. And also his
effort to change my shitty mood. He’s literally one of the kind.
It
might sound creepy and cringe af, when stranger sent you flowers and all, but
hey… at least I got something to tell my kids when I’m older and grey. Thank
you, Roger. Hope you are all safe and sound.
