Lily had already noticed him sitting outside and she felt guilty about that. She knew that men like Zack are slow in love and she should let the time takes its own turn but still she felt she needed some justification for her feelings for him. She moved around her bed to glimpse outside. But due to the cast she can't see much. She picked up the phone near her and called the nurse station
A polite voice rang from the other side " how can I help you. Is there anything you need". Lily coughed feeling stupid but taking the deep breath she finally asked " hello I am from room 501, I just want to check if there is man sitting outside my room". Voice on the other side was same sister Maria. She said " young girl I remember you with cast on her left leg and sling on her same hand. The cute boy of earlier was there the whole time but I think he left just a while ago. Do you want me to contact him".
Lily denied her request and hung up " where had he gone. He never left her side when she was admitted for previous injuries". Feeling dejected she picked up the nearby magazine. She was flipping the random pages but some weird phenomenon was happening with her. She kept seeing his face in every page. Every advertisement had his face from cosmetic to undergarments model and moreover he also winked at her at one of the photo.
Feeling the hallucinations she threw out the magazine and switched on the television. But same thing happened again. Feeling disgruntled she switched off everything and closed her eyes to let sleep claim her. She was mumbling " why are you every where General Lion". She was so engrossed she didn't notice him standing near the door. She opened her eyes to see him standing there and he was holding a cute lion with him.
She shouted " why are you every where. I will not buy you or your product. Get lost". She held the water mug near her and threw the water at him. She expected him to disappear but when water covered him from head to toe she realised she made a mistake. She squeaked and closed her eyes. Zack was shocked at first but seeing her cute reaction he let her off. He came near her. And placed the Lion near her. He protected it by hiding it behind his back. She gave him the tissue all the while apologizing.
Suddenly he held her hand and placed the ring part of cold drink can on her ring finger. "I bought this lion from a kid and this from vending machine. Right now I just have this but this is my promise to you that you are my woman. In the field I may be your senior but everywhere else I am on your command. I promise to protect you, love you, cherish you and make your life like a celebration with stars of happiness shining in your eyes. Will you be my girlfriend". Listening to his words she hugged him tightly and said " I accept your promise and I will do the same all my life. You are my man forever and ever".
