"Mr. John?" She was surprised to see him.
"Why are you standing here? You seem to have some emergency?" He asked her.
"Yes, I'm going to a place for some emergency," she replied.
"Then, vi will give you a lift. Come inside," he said.
"No sir, it's okay. I will manage," she said politely.
"It's already late. It's not safe to travel alone at this hour. Don't be so polite. Come and get into the car. It's an order from your president," he said.
"It seems that it's better to accept his lift. There is no taxi also at this hour," she thought.
She opened the passenger seat but John said, come to the back seat."
She silently closed the door and was about to open the back door.
But John came outside and opened it for her.
She was moved by his act.
"How gentle he is. His future wife is very lucky," she thought.
She took a seat. He also got into the car and occupied another back seat.
"Where do you want to go?" He asked while fastening the seat belt.
He was surprised when he saw that she was wearing his coat.
Judy told the location to the driver.
John was still looking at the coat.
Judy wearing his coat made him somehow excited and blushed at the same time.
His heart began to bound rapidly. He got embarrassed and turned to another site.
"Why? Why? Why does it happen always whenever I'm with her?" He thought.
For a few minutes, there was complete silence.
Judy was thinking about Jack. Her face looked very stressed and panicked.
John noticed that and took a water bottle from the bag.
"Miss. Brown are you alright?" He asked her.
But she didn't hear it.
He called her again but he got the same response again.
He slightly touched her shoulder and try to get her out of her world.
She was startled at first when she felt his touch. She looked at him with shock.
"Are you alright? You look very pale," he asked her with full of concern in his eyes.
"Oh my God, the world-famous C.E.O, always shows no emotion and gives a blank expression only is concerned about me. He looks worried about me. How is that possible?" She thought while looking at him even without blinking.
She was back to the present when the car went through a bend and made her move a little bit. She looked at the road as she didn't know what to tell.
"Oh Judy, what are you doing? Don't make it more embarrassed and be a good girl," she told herself in her mind.
"Drink some water, please. You look very pale," he said to avoid the awkwardness.
She took it silently and thanked him.
He just looked at his head.
She opened it and drank the water and gave it to him back.
Soon they reached the beach.
"Thank you so much, sir, have a safe journey," she said quickly and got down of the car. She ran towards the beach.
John was looking at her tiny figure who was disappearing every second.
"Why is she in so hurry?" He thought.
Someone was standing on the beach.
Someone was standing on the beach.
She ran towards that person.
"Jack," she touched his shoulder while calling his name with panic.
That person turned towards her, but it wasn't Jack.
It made her disappointed.
"Are you Miss? Judy?" That person asked her to her surprise.
She nodded her head as yes but suspiciously.
"He is in that building," he said and showed her the direction.
She said thank you quickly and ran in the direction that he showed.
It was fully dark and the door was fully closed.
She got panic suddenly.
"Is it some kind of prank? Is someone playing games with me? She thought.
She slowly open3d the door carefully. There was darkness only inside also.
Suddenly some lights were lit. She gulped the saliva forming in her mouth and tried to understand the situation.
She scanned the area carefully.
It was like a pathway to a room.
And it was decorated with mini lights and heart-shaped balloons.
" I think it's some kind of prank. I should leave the place immediately. Someone is using Jack's name and playing tricks with me. I should leave," she told herself and turned back to leave.
Suddenly the door was closed. She ran towards the door in a panic and tried to open the door.
"Please someone, help me. Open the door please," she yelled from her throat.
"Please come in Judy, don't panic. I'm with you," she heard a familiar voice.
She was startled for a moment.
"Jack? Is he inside?" She turned again and slowly stepped towards the room. When she took a step ahead the lights at her both lights were lit automatically. They were beautifully decorated and they were super romantic like in movies where the hero proposes h****n.
She took another step but she felt something under her feet.
She looked at the ground and was surprised to see rose petals on the floor.
"What's happening here?" She thought and have a confused look.
She slowly stepped forwards and reached a hall.
When she stepped into the hall, all the lights were on, and finally, the view was clear in front of her.
She stood dumbfounded as the view was spectacular and was at another level of imagination.
It was fully decorated with her photos. She went near them and took a closer look at them. They were taken in cooking classes, in the mall or coffee shop, and some other places.
"There are so many photos. Even I don't have this many photos of mine," she thought.
"Who had taken my photos secretly. I have been unaware of the situation all the time," she scolded herself.
"But I heard Jack's voice? Was it an illusion?" Many questions were raised in her mind and confused her more.
Suddenly she heard a violin sound. Someone was playing the violin. But she couldn't see his face as his backside was facing her.
"She wondered thatcher might it be? The person turned towards her. To her surprise, it was Jack.
" What's happening here?" She thought.
He slowly came near to her while continuing to play the music.
Judy was just staring at him with a blank expression on her face.
After the music ended, Jack began to speak.
"Judy, I have something to tell you. I wanted to tell you this when I met you for the first time. But I didn't have enough courage to open my heart. But I want to do it before it's too late. I don't want to regret my cowardness," he said.
He took a few steps near her and continued, "Judy I always admired you from the first time we met. Do you know when is the first time I met you?" He asked her and looked at her with a question mark on his face.
Judy just nodded as no. She couldn't guess what he was going to talk about. She was looking at him with just a blank face.
"When I saw you in my class for the third time, I was really on cloud nine. I thought that God wanted us to meet and get to know each other.
He came nearer to her and took her hands in his gently and said, " Judy, I love you. I always loved you since our first meeting," he said with full of sincerity in his eyes.
