In a world where two souls from different zones and walks of life decide to embark on a blind date, the stage is set for a unique and potentially life-altering encounter. The gentleman, captivated by the lady love's picture-perfect image and emboldened by the depth of his cheek's temples, takes the courageous step of asking her out. Little does she know that this seemingly ordinary date is about to turn her world upside down.Having been broken and lost in the pursuit of love, the lady approaches this blind date with hesitancy, hoping against hope to find that special someone. As she gathers the courage to meet this mysterious stranger, her heart stumbles upon a surprising sight. The first glance reveals a yin & yang tattoo on the side of his neck, prompting a momentary retreat on her part. However, it's the Christmas season, and no one should be disappointed on this day of new beginnings.
Summoning her strength, she decides to approach the table, and sparks fly at the very first meeting. Laughter and heart-to-heart conversations ensue, and the lady finds herself enchanted by the gentleman's comical sense of humor and the intriguing imprints on his cheeks. It feels like a connection beyond the ordinary.
As time becomes the essence, they part ways to return to their conventional lives. The daring gentleman walks away, looking back at the lady, who feels her heart lingering at the table. In that moment, she realizes she has left a part of herself behind.
Determined to retrieve what she left at the table, the lady discovers that the gentleman had plans to meet his pals at another location. Racing against time, she decides to leave him with a lasting image of herself. Running through the city in search of herself, she stumbles upon a display of red roses. Although the train has left the station, she refuses to give up.
Undeterred, the persistent Libran finds an alternative. In a world where love can be sent across borders, why not send it from one state to another? A phenomenal surprise awaits the gentleman at his hotel doorstep – 8 red roses, a number significant to him. But the surprises don't end there. Upon his return to the heart station, the lady is waiting with 2 more red roses, symbolizing her day of arrival on this earth.
Awestruck by this gesture, the gentleman feels a warmth and connection that he never expected. The lady, as a persistent romantic, has created a memory that will live on forever. As the gentleman heads to his hometown, the lady contemplates whether he sees their encounter as just a fancy from a blind date. For her, it was more profound – she left a part of herself on that table, and she wishes he could feel the depth conveyed by the 8+2 red roses.
In the routine exchanges of daily texts with a fading connection, the lady senses a change. Despite the world's opposition to their reunion, she holds onto the belief that time and patience are virtues. Alone with her duvet covers and the moisture on her eyelids, she longs for his sweet embrace and his hopeless sense of humor, reminiscing about the date at the table that left an indelible mark on her.
Gathering courage once again, amidst the disarray of her world, she clings to the hope of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. A source of amazement, she schemes to surprise him on his birthday, planning the perfect outfit, bouquet, itinerary, and more. Yet, a surprising revelation dawns – the man of her dreams has other commitments with his troops.
Tears stream down her cheeks as she realizes that the heart wants what it wants. Letting go of the scheming and the element of surprise, days go by like withering rose petals in her fridge, mirroring the unnamed bond they share. Despite the physical distance and the relentless passage of time, she holds on to the connection, wishing upon shooting stars that he would recognize the royalty and loyalty waiting behind the scenes.
In the quiet depths of her heart, she knows that their connection transcends space and time. As she reflects on the unsaid words of comfort, joy, and the smile that bloomed on her lips, she wishes he could look deeper, beyond the surface of petals, stems, and thorns. The 8 roses, along with the 2 more added, signify a variance in her present existence, a depth only she comprehends. If only he knew the story behind the roses, perhaps he would see the profound tale written in their petals.
