A Promise 'Till The End

“Happy Birthday Baby!” her sweet, angelic voice on the phone woke me up.
Today is my BIG day. My birthday and to celebrate it, my girlfriend would be coming over for dinner.
“Thank you babe!”  I answered “Be here at 7, okay?”
“Yes babe, I’ll be there. Seven P.M. sharp.”
“Promise?”
“Promise! I’ll be there. I love you so much no matter what.”
I smiled and say, “Okay babe, I Love you too!”
I am so excited. I get up and start to fix myself, I’ll be going out to the mall to buy things that I need in order to prepare for our dinner. When I get home, I immediately start to fix and decorate my apartment. I am so excited and nervous as well. This would be special. It has to be.</p>
At exactly 7:00 PM she arrives, wearing a yellow dress. She’s so beautiful.
“What took you so long babe? I missed you.” I say and hugged her
“I’m sorry babe, there was a huge traffic. But I’m here now.” She smiles
“It’s okay. “ I say. “Let’s go eat now, I know you’re hungry and I cooked for you babe.”
“Really?? Aww... That’s so sweet. Don’t worry I also have a little surprise to you later.” She says and smiles
I lead her to the table. Actually, I did better than what I have planned. The dim lights, the flowers, the food. It is perfect.
We are talking about different things when suddenly there is a blackout. Really?? Right now? Bad timing!
“I’ll go get the candle babe, wait for me!” I say
“Don’t worry babe, I’ll go get it. Where are they?”
“They’re at the cabinet near the window. And Thank you babe” I smile even though I know that she won’t see it
She gets up and walked at the cabinet. As she was about to light the candle, my phone rang.
It’s her mom.
“Hello?” I say.
“Where are you? I’ve been calling you since afternoon.” She says and her tone notes that she’s crying.
“Why? What happened?” I ask
“My daughter... is now dead. She was found in the street this afternoon. Go to the hospital now.” She saysd
I am shocked. I remove the phone from my ear. I look at my girlfriend and there she Is, holding a burning candle in the dark, looking at me.
“I never broke my promise babe. I came here for you. I promised didn’t I? I came here because I Love You.” She says and her soul traveled to the road of eternity. She is gone.
