Anna arrived at a restaurant for her date. She is plotting on how to deny the proposal and how to stop her father from seeing up another date for her.
Anna went to the receptionist and then she is directed to the room for her date. It is a VIP room.
Anna pushed open the door and entered. She then sat opposite a man that is her supposed date. He is handsome and has a perfect body and elegance. He look like a model or a celebrity because of his handsome and good looking face.
"I am sorry Mr Bolton, I think we should cancel this arrangement" Anna stated her point directly after making herself comfortable in the room, she didn't even bother to introduce herself to him, because she thought it is not worth it as she didn't want to be engaged to him.
"I think we should eat first Anna. What would you like to have" Hudson said without taking offense at her words.
'Why did he call me Anna, and so casually like we have known each other's Anna thought and her mind started wandering about. She got a feeling of familiarity when she first saw him after she entered the room, but she couldn't remember seeing him anywhere, so she discard the feeling. But him calling her name casually confused her.
Hudson then ordered the food. Soon after their meal arrived and they ate silently. After eating Anna decided to break the silence.
"I don't think we should date Mr Bolton" Anna said her request again hoping that Hudson will cut off the arrangement.
"Please just call me Hudson" Hudson requested.
"Okay"Anna said.
"Won't you want to give me a chance" Hudson asked and looked at Anna with a gaze of request and expectation.
"I am sorry, but I don't want to rise your expectations because I won't love you" Anna said again in a firm tone.
Anna stood up and planned to leave, when Hudson spoke again. "You once promised to grant me a wish". Hudson said making Anna halt in her steps.
Anna stopped and looked at him with a calm gaze, but Hudson could clearly see that she didn't remember.
"I didn't remember meeting you before, so how could I possibly make you the promise you claimed I made" Anna asked.
Hudson reached for his pocket and removed something, he then show her the thing he removed from his pocket.
Anna froze when she saw what he removed. It is a cute pink pendant in the shape of rose. She clearly remembered that pendant because she is the one who gave it to him when they were young.
They were both sick and are admitted in the same hospital, at that time she is undergoing leukemia treatment, and he also has the same illness with her.
Her mom died at that time and she did not accept her stepmom, her father is always busy at work and rarely have time to accompany her at the hospital even though he is worried about her, and Hudson is the same because his parents are always at work, and they are both accompanied by nurses all the time, and just like that they became close friends.
Hudson's conditions is worst than hers at the time, and he almost give up on life, so she gave him the pendant and made him a promise that she will grant him a wish like a genie if they both recovered and grew up again. But right after that day Hudson is taken away from the hospital and transferred to another, her father said that his parents are so lucky that they are able to get him admitted into the best hospital that is hard to get, and her father told her that he is been treated there.
After Hudson left Anna became lonely in the hospital, because she has no one to chat with, untill Kelly starts to spend more time with her.
"You now remember sweet angel" Hudson said and chuckled looking at her baffled expression. He knew that she finally remembered seeing her expression. He took the pendant back and placed it in his pocket.
He could clearly remember that day, his condition is serious and even the doctors has given up on him, they said that he will not survive unless a miracle happen, but then Anna gave him thee pendant and sai "Don't lose hope, everything will be okay and your life will be full of beautiful colors" she said and pressed a button on the pendant, the pendant then illuminates a light like aurora which is so beautiful.
Anna gave him the pendant as a gift and asked him to stay strong, and she said that she will grant him a wish life a genie after his treatment. Anna is the one that gave him courage at that time with her words, but then later on that day, he is transferred and is treated in another hospital. He is now cured since then.
"Anna went back to sit down again. She took a deep breath and feigned anger at him and said "I a mad at you Hudson, you left me alone without a goodbye, and you still have the guts to talk about my promise" Anna said and glared at him.
Hudson hold his ears and said "I am sorry" in a dramatic way.
Anna hugged him tight and said "I miss you so much" she hold him for some time before releasing him.
"Are we boyfriend and girlfriend" Hudson asked her.
"No" Anna said and shook her head. "What do you want me to do, I will only grant you one wish and no dating" Anna said.
"Don't worry, I have someone I love" Hudson said. "But let's just pretend for now" he added.
Anna squinted her eyes at him and inquired "why would you want to lie about been in a relationship" she asked and stared directly into his eyes.
"You are supposed to grant my wish not ask questions" Hudson said.
