XY - I

(4)

"Why cant i get a dog?" The lady huffed

"Because you are staying in a condominium my dear," Adam slowly put his hand on her shoulder, trying to console her.

"But I want to have one! I dont care, i want it, i want it!" The lady continue throwing tantrum like a small kid.

"Do you really want to have a dog so badly?"

"YES! and I've been telling you this since a year ago, and you have been ignoring it," The lady pretended to be crying and make sniffing sound now and then.

"All right, all right, stop with the fake cry, i have a solution for it," Adam answered with full confident.

"Really?"

" Really, and you don't have to act like Mr Pussycat to give me that blink blink eye."

"Hehe, I'm just trying to emphasize how excited i am to wait for your solution." The lady joyfully answered.

"Thanks for the effect, but i do have a solution for this, that is..." Adam intentionally paused.

"That is....?"

"Move into a landed property!"Adam answered in excitement.

"Wow, you are so smart honey, how come i never thought of that? Geez... and i actually thought you have some brilliant idea," The lady replied cynically.

"hey hey, its a brilliant idea ok, you have not heard of the whole plan yet." Adam smiled at her, seem be to expecting this respond from her.

"Ya ya, like how i can come out with RM500k the next day and then we can get a nice fancy semi-D right."

"Oh well, you got the later part correct, but its not exactly wrong for the first part too."

"What do you mean?"

"Darling, let's stay together."

"wow wow wow, hold on a second, are you proposing to me?'

"Of course not, i dont even have a ring now."

"phew, if you do propose to me in such a lousy way, i'm going to slaughter you into pieces. So what is this staying together thing?"

"Just a solution for you to have a dog," Adam grinned.

"But that is such a stupid idea."

"You think its stupid?"

"yes, it is stupid"

"Oh well, i guess i have no choice," Adam turned back and walked towards the room.

"Hey, where you going?"

"i'm depressed, i need some time to heal my wound."

" The plaster is in the first drawer honey!" She triumphantly answer. She has a feeling he will be giving way real soon in getting her a dog.

Few second later, Adam walked out from the room with a big box holding in hand.

" Please dont tell me you have broken something in the room."

" It is broken indeed, but its a broken soul."

"Oh, so you have keep your soul inside, how interesting. Show me how your soul looks like" She smiled while walking towards the box, wondering what kind of trick he is playing this time.

The lady slowly opened up the box. Inside a fury Silky Terriers lazily sleeping. He is slightly gray in colour, but the ribbon tied on his neck make him look extra funny. On top of his back, the ribbon tied up a flowery knot. inside the knot, there's a 3 carat diamond ring trying to outshine the cute dog.

"Fabien is depressed because you do not want to stay with him and take good care of him," Adam spoke after seeing her stunt there for 3 second. He slowly put down the box and tried to reach for the ring. He is ready.

Knelt down in front of her,his heart pumping like a racing horse. He has been practicing this scene over hundred times over his mind, he is ready to do it correctly, once and for all.

"Darling, there are two broken soul that need you to get good care of, so will you, marry me and be my wife for the rest of my life?" Adam lifted up his head, and look straight into her eye. His shaken hand holding the diamond ring, slowly go towards her.

She has long been in tears. A dog, diamond ring and a man that she knows for sure will love her for the rest of her life. What else can she ask for more.

"where did you learn all this?"

"hehe...Google."

"Then you better thanks the creator," She hold his shaking hand, pull him up, and give him a kiss on his lips.

Adam become so emotion that he could not talk further, he began to cry like a baby.

She hugged him and softly said to him, " Its ok now honey, we are getting married."

Adam laughed and cried and laughed on her shoulder. He could not be happier than this.

"But honey..."

"Ya?" Adam still sobbing

"His name is Frankie, not Fabien."

Adam laughed.

This is my wife.
