After getting stuck in traffic for most of the journey, the minibus finally arrived at its destination.
Eager to leave the vehicles steel confines, I jump out instantly as it comes to a stop after taking my luggage.
Looking towards the tall apartment complex, and its inhabitants, a feeling of home overwhelms me.
'POP!'
'POP'
'POP'
Confetti and streamers cascade from my side.
Expecting a group of people to rush out cheering, I'm bewildered by what I see.
A single slightly obese man, is in the middle of a garden of 1000 white roses wearing a shirt with the girl I love plastered on it.
'HORA!!! HAPPY VALENTINES! WHEN YOU SMILE, I SMILE!'
He screams into megaphone with no regard to the onlookers.
Did I hear that right?
Is he ….. really confessing his love right now.
And its Valentines day?
Taking out my cell phone, I dial the number of my 'best friend' who is about to be my dead best friend.
