The next two days they lived in their own little world.
It almost seemed like a dream. A good one. Soraya was not cold when she was with Michael, she felt, for the first time in all of her life, that she was very, very hot.
And when they were finally about to leave, Michael remembered her aunt's words.
He throught it was silly when her aunt told him to propose only a few days ago. But today, he felt like it was worth a try.
-Soraya, I forgot to buy something.
-Let's go together!
-No, you have a lot to tidy up before we go. Don't worry, I'll come back soon.

-Who it is?
-Jake, is your mother at home?
-No, she went outside earlier today. Why didn't you call her instead?
-I tried before, but she didn't answer.
-You know, my mum has been acting weird since you brought your girlfriend. Well, if you don't need anything from me, just leave me alone.
Cling. Jake ended the call.
Ding.
At that moment, Michael received a message from her aunt with an address.
"Go there now".
Her aunt was being far too weird. But he knew her well. She did everything for a reason. So he did as he was told.
The address was a hidden garden behind his house. It was so well hidden that it couldn't be seen from the house at all.
When he arrived there, he found a lot of bouquets of flowers, making a path towards the little lake. And there were his uncle and aunt.
-What are you both doing here?
-Helping you, what else. I knew what you were going to do. Ah, take this. I looked all over the house just to find it.
It was a little green box. Michael opened it. Inside, there was a gold ring with an emerald.
-It was one of the best rings of your grandmother. She wanted to give it to your mother but she didn't like it. So now it's yours.
-Aunt Mary, thank you.
-Well, you should be quick. You're going back soon. Jerry, pick up the tools and let's go.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After his uncle and aunt were long gone, Michael arrived at home.
Soraya had packaged everything and was waiting for him.
-What took you so long?
-I suddenly remembered that there's a place I forgot to take you to.
And without any other words, Michael took her hand and walked with her to the back garden.
Soraya was surprised. The scenery was beautiful. And finally they arrived at the path created by flowers.
'It's beautiful'.
Michael turned and put the open box in her hand.
Soraya understood what this was.
-Soraya, would you marry me?
Soraya loved him and she knew he loved her too. But she wasn't prepared. At least not yet.
-I will...but not now -she answered while smiling brightly.
