• The sky was full of bright, dancing stars shimmering in the black sky. The moonlight beamed its dim, white light on my face. The crickets made their unique,menacing sound which bellowed throughout the quiet scenery. I gazed the spectacle in wonder. What a magnificent sight it was! I was waiting with anxiety for Adam in a romantic and exclusive restaurant.When I flashed back, I still remembered the first time I stepped into the restaurant. I was dazed by its beautiful outline. It had a majestic surrounding. There was a piano placed beside a window overlooking a magnificent flower garden. James, the pianist, always dedicated a heart-capturing song to us.

    Adam was the love of my life.He was every inch of gentleman. He was tanned, muscular and towered above his friends at six feet five. Not to mention his handsome looks. He was such a striking man. He was square-jawed. He had those romantic and sexy eyes that pierced right into my soul every time I looked at them.His soft, flowing, blue black looks were such a contrast to his eyes. Adam was a man whose overall appearance made him seemed like the pinnacle of trustworthiness. I recalled those happy times I had spent with Adam.

    The ambience in the restaurant was tranquil and serene. The star shone like sparkling diamonds in the dark sky. I felt anxious after waiting for an eternity. I started to glance repeatedly at my watch. “What is going on? He has never been so late before,” I whispered. Terrible thoughts raged through my mind. They were tormenting me. “Has something happened?” I asked myself. I became anxious, squirming in my seat.

    Suddenly, my expensive cellphone rang. My heart was palpitating wildly. Intuition told me that something was amiss. My hands shook nervously. I answered the call with a lump in my throat. It was from the Aberdeen Hospital. I calmed myself down. I bit my lower lip to stifle a scream when I heard the devastating news. Adam was knocked down by a lorry when he was on his way to the restaurant. The darkness was closing in on me. Chocking me like a thick fog. The sound of the night had been silenced. Not a sound, a music,nor any voices of any unrecognizable strength emanated from the attending darkness.

    My knees grew weaker that I could hardly stand up. My body began to quiver. Taking a deep breath, I summoned my courage and went to the car park. However, the key dropped from my trembling hands. After trying several times, I finally managed to start the engine. I drove to the hospital without any delay. The moon was out that night and the trees on either side of the lane cast dark shadows on the road. Millions of twinkling jewels could be seen in the black sky.

    The night was extremely chilly. The evening breeze hit my small body, sending shivers up my back. After I arrived, I saw that Adam’s mum was crying and we hugged each other. There was nothing that we could do but wait patiently outside the operation theatre. His father paced up and down the corridor. The scene made me queasy. I kept my fingers crossed and prayed to God. “Adam, please don’t leave me alone,” I hoped Adam could hear what I had wished,” Everything will be all right,” I told myself. I had to face all the trials and tribulation bravely. I hugged his mother to calm her down.Then, the doctor came out. He did not look happy, nor he was sad. He told us the unexpected news. “Adam is critical right now. He had lost a lot of blood,” the doctor told us. The news hit me like a strong wave. It took me a while to react. I was dumbfounded and speechless. I felt like crying. The image of Adam floated in my mind.

    It was a cloudless and moonless night. The night air had a certain stillness that sent shivers down my spine. As I entered his room, my eyes welled up with tears, saddened by the miserable state of Adam. He did not deserve to suffer like this. I shed copious tears when I saw all kinds of bizarre machines beside him and needles sticking through the veins in his arm. I decided to stay at the hospital the whole night. I wanted to be the first person Adam would see when he opened his eyes. I visited him everyday. I was consoled by the fact that he was a very strong person to survive. Finally, he regained consciousness. I hugged him tenderly when he awoke. I was so scared to lose him. I was grateful that god had answered my prayers.

    It was a fine,cool, young morning and comfortable in its adolescence. The rays of the morning sun began to break through the thick envelope of mist. The chirping, twittering and the fluttering of the early birds broke the tranquil silence of the world. The morning breeze hit my small body as Adam and I were walking along the colourful hospital’s garden. I held Adam’s muscular hand as he had not recovered completely.

    Out of the blue, Adam knelt down on the green grassy garden. He took out a little heart-shape box from his pocket. He handed over the box to me. When I opened the box, I was dazed at a beautiful, sparkling diamond ring. “Would you be with me forever and be my wife?” he said softly with his most sexy smile. My heart was hammering like it was going to explode. I was dumbfounded and speechless. When I nodded, I felt my body was flying in the air. Adam hugged me tightly. He was in cloud nine.

    Adam told me the true condition. Actually he had planned to propose to me on the day he met with the accident. My eyes became watery, obscuring my sight and tears rolled down my cheek. They were tears of joy. He apologize that he did not propose me like other couples. He proposed me in a hospital instead in a posh restaurant with dim lights and romantic music. Though it was very simple, I was overwhelmed with happiness. It was the happiest moment of my life.
