Its been five days since she is here in the hospital. She is peacefully sleeping. I can't help but smile while watching her. She's my angel, the key to my heart and will be my forever love. She is the one for me. But now, when will she open her eyes? would she want to wake-up and be with me again?

"Hey, what are you doing?" The nurse asks me.
"I am just making a surprise for her when she'll wake up, It is not bad right?" I answered.
"Of course not, It is actually sweet". she answered back while staring at the wall.


Flashback:

I still remember how these strings started, how tables turn and how I feel in love with this crazy girl. There must be really miracles every December.


The Christmas vacation is coming that time and we are excited as much as our professor is excited to gave that project. " Things about her and 1 thing about me" This project is kinda cute but making this project with that annoying girl made me cringe. She absolutely scare the hell out me.Why?
1. That girl always put love letters and cute stuffs in my locker room. I know that she has a crush on me but can't she see that I hate annoying girl?
2. That girl always prank calls me at night and she will call in the middle of my sleep. She is insanely annoying.
3. That girl is insanely annoying that is the truth. I am always annoyed with her presence.

Our great professor partnered with me that annoying girl. I have protested many times and I can see clearly in here eyes that she is hurt.

"you really hate me that much?" she asked while staring at me with a teary-eyed face.
" Not that much, but your presence and confidence are the things that I hate" I answered back with a cold glare.

"Okay" she answered and turn away.

" But wait, let me do this project with you and I promise you will never feel my presence again." she said with a pleading tone.

" I cant help but smile because of her condition, okay but you should do your promise." I said with a mocking tone.


1. She's annoying

That's the first thing that I listed. Obviously she's annoying. When we are out on  Christmas vacation I always find her noisy, even when we are eating, she can't help but talk and talk. She's telling story that do not give interest.

" hey, where are we going after we eat?" she asked while her mouth is full of fries and it's kinda gross.

"it's up to you" I answered with a blank face.

2. She's Tone Deaf

We decided to go to music bank. She's holding my hands and I felt unease. She making me really nervous right now.

" I want to sing for you, what do you want?" she asked me confidently.
" Really? I bet you don't have a good voice," I answered mocking her.
" Well, let's see, stay there and listen to me"

When she started to sing I felt so much energy to laugh at her

"AHAHAH YOU SOUNDS REALLY BAD HAHAHAHAH" I laughed while holding my tummy.
She did not care about my judgement infact she continued to sing wholeheartedly.
This girl is bad at singing, she should find a voice teacher. But absolutely, she made my day, She starting to build a good vibes with me.

3. She's such a childish

After hearing that crazy sound of hers, we bid goodbyes, and she decided that she'll go home alone because I'll be having a different way. Next Morning we decided to go to the park.

"Come here, let's slide together." she said while pointing at the slide.
"I do not want, that's only for children." I said while looking beside hoping there will be a bench so I can sit.

"Okay, just wait for me and I'll play." she said .

Evidently,  the smile on her face while she's playing is like she's a firstimer in the playground. I can't help but to smile also when she hit her butt on the ground and start laughing as the children around her also laugh. I do not know anything about her but it feels like she's sad in life and being with me is the best thing she could do that can make her happy and I feel obliged to be with her also.

"Hey, I want Ice Cream" she said while pouting
"Do not pout, it does not suits to you, later, we will buy ice cream but let's eat our lunch first"
"No, let'ts buy icecream please" she said while her hands are palm to palm and in a pleading tone.
"okay" I said putting my hands up in defeat.

4. She's over-trusting.

While eating I asked her a favor.
" Hey, I can not spend Christmas with you, infact I am going to spend my Christmas with my family because they will come home this Christmas after a long work at Canada." I asked wanting to choke my self for telling lies to her.
"okay". she answered while continue eating.

Wow, that's it? I cannot believe that she will believe that lie, infact I am not going to spend Christmas with my family. My ex-girlfriend invited with into a highschool batch' reunion and asking for a second chance. Well, my Christmas is gonna be happy, I guess?

5.  She's the girl that meant for me.

After that incident, I did not received any communication to her. I think she made the right decision to spend Christmas with her family and I'll spend Christmas with my family. But for now, I am going to take this chance to spend Christmas  with my ex-girlfriend and try if there will be a chance for us. We decided  to take awalk and get out of the crowd of my batchmates.

"Hey, I think it is the right time to give our relationship another chance," she said while slipping her hand and make it intertwined with mine.
"I think so," I answered while continue walking at the park.

We were sitting at the bench when I noticed something near-far. It's that girl, she's eating alone and nearly teary-eyed when she noticed my looking at her. I felt the guilt and There's a part of me that wanted to go to her and say sorry but I feel that my feet wanted to stay here and grab this chance. I decided to choose the second one. I made that girl cry from a far and she turned back away while sobbing.

Next Morning we met again, this is the last day of our project.

"Hey, sorry for the lie that I did, I just wanted to grab the chance hoping for my ex-girlfriend."

" It hurts so much. I just wanted to spend Christmas with you even though you don't have a choice because of this project but please you should have one word, you promised me, you promised my that until the end of vacation you'll with me and I am holding in that promise."

"But I guess, this will be the end of all, I just wish you a good luck and if you did not stick to your words, I will not do a revenge to you, I have one word and the promise of mine that I will not annoy you anymore will be my gift for you. I love you Goodbye." She said while crying. She's really strong, and I can't bear that, I want to hold her, hug her and say sorry but I guess this is really a goodbye.

After that, there are still remaining days before the school days will start again, That whole week made me think twice, I always think about her, how is she doing? what are she eating? Is she okay?
I can't help but go crazy and denying the fact that I like her no I love her, My feelings for my ex-girlfriend is just an infatuation anymore and it does not matter.

School days are back, No more love letters, No more prank calls, She stick to her words and I feel incomplete that day, I have the urge to say sorry to her. I feel so guilty wanting to bring back her.

While eating I received a call from an unknown number but there's a feeling that it is her. I answered hurriedly

"Hey, I am sorry for what I did, come back to me please, let's start all over again." I said in a pleading manner.

" Hey, give me a favor and please say yes first."
"what is that?"
"please say yes first?"
"Hey, if it is one of your pranks It is not good'
"Please" there's a long silence "say yes first"

"Okay, Yes"

"Things about him," she started again
"First, he is a bad tempered" she continued
"he cannot control his emotions, when he is mad, he is mad. He instantly gets mad when he'll see me or when I am with him." she said on the phone
"Second he has a good voice."
"I admit, I am a tone deaf but him? He has a heaven-sent voice, He sound really good and I can't help that when I heard his voice, My heart melted and my love for him rose up.
"Third, he is generous."
"He always buy what I want, event though it's out of time, he will always grab an opportunity to buy it for me." she continued but now, I feel that she is crying and for heaven's sake, I wanted to go to her and hug her.
"Fourth, he is a liar"
" He said that we agreed that we will spend Christmas together but he broke his promise, she lied to me and attend reunion with his batchmates and so much hurt when she wanted another chance with his ex-girlfriend." she said

I feel really guilty that time but not I realized that love her and I want to be with her.

"Lastly, I love that boy" I love you too
" Eventhough I annoyed him so much, eventhough he has many flaws, I believe that he is the one for me." she continued.

"Do you want to know that one thing about me?"
"Yes, please and say where you are right now because I am going crazy" I answered back to her
"I have Atrial Fibrillation, and if I survived my  operation please be my boyfriend."
She said then the line went off.

I hurriedly wen to the hospital and look for her.

And that's the happening in our life on how we met and how we fell in love to each other.
There really Miracles in December
