Asher nervously checked his pocket one last time, feeling the weight of the small velvet box containing the ring." Today finally I'm going to propose her and make mine forever.My bloom " He had been planning this moment for months, wanting everything to be perfect for his girlfriend, Bloom. "Please God I want to make this day to remember forever. I hope I don't mess up anything because of my nervousness."
Efforts and emotions make bloom more happy rather than the materialistic things. So, Asher decided to propose her exactly the place they met for the first time and for that he's truly thankful.As they walked through the park, Asher kept stealing glances at Bloom, admiring her beauty and feeling his heart swell with love for her. "You know Asher this place as always been my favourite and very special." Bloom said. "Of course I know " He replied.
Finally when they reached a secluded spot by a picturesque fountain, surrounded by blooming flowers.Taking a deep breath, Asher got down on one knee and held out the ring to Bloom."Bloom" he began, his voice steady yet filled with emotion, "From the moment we met, you've brought color and joy into my life. Every day with you feels like a new beginning, a fresh bloom in my heart."
Bloom smiled warmly, her eyes reflecting the sincerity in Asher's words.
"I've imagined our future together, facing life's challenges hand in hand, celebrating every success, and cherishing every moment," Asher continued, his hand reaching into his pocket. "Bloom, will you marry me? Will you be my partner in this beautiful journey?"
Time seemed to pause as Bloom blinked away tears of happiness. She nodded eagerly, unable to find her voice amidst the overwhelming rush of emotions. Asher slid the ring onto her finger, a symbol of their love and commitment.
As they embraced, surrounded by the scent of flowers and the gentle music of their love story unfolding, Asher knew that his life was forever changed by the blooming love of Bloom.
"Let's go to our favourite cafe " He said because he wanted to know everyone that bloom belongs to him forever. "Okay" She replied. Just then, the sky darkened and when they crossing the road raindrops began to fall from the heavens. Instead of seeking shelter, Bloom laughed and twirled in the rain, her face radiant with happiness.
"You know Asher, I love rain so much." She shouted while enjoying.Asher couldn't help but join her, feeling a sense of pure joy wash over him as they danced together in the downpour.
"Asher" Bloom said. " Bloom" He replied.Their eyes met, and Asher felt a surge of love and longing. He leaned in to kiss Bloom, their lips inches apart, when suddenly, he heard the screech of tires and the sound of metal crashing.Bloom turned herself to the direction car was coming. Her little attempt to save Asher.
****THUD*******
When Asher regained consciousness, he found himself lying on the ground, surrounded by flashing lights and the wail of sirens."Bloom?" He whispered. Panic gripped his heart as he frantically searched for Bloom, only to find her lying motionless beside him, her lifeless eyes staring up at the sky.
"BLOOM!!!!! MY LOVE !!! AHHHHH!!! Baby please wake up please you promised me to stay with me forever bloom please don't leave me here alone please I can't live without you please bloom please." Tears streamed down Asher's face as he held Bloom's cold hand, unable to comprehend the cruel twist of fate that had torn her from him so suddenly.
When he asked God to make this day rememberable don't you think he took it too seriously.
His heart shattered into a million pieces as he whispered her name, unable to accept that she was gone. Days turned into weeks, and Asher found himself consumed by grief, unable to move on from the loss of his beloved Bloom.
Suddenly,
One night,
As Asher lay alone in his bed, he heard Bloom's voice calling out to him. "Asher "...."Asher I'm here with you my love " ....."Asher".....He got startled, he sat up and looked around, but there was no one there. Yet he could still hear her, clear as day, speaking to him as if she were right beside him.
At first, Asher thought he was going mad, but as the days passed, he grew accustomed to Bloom's presence, finding solace in their conversations and the memories they shared.
He could feel her.
He could see her.
But,
He couldn't touch her.
He couldn't hug her.
He could see her smile and feel her touch, and hear her laughter as if she were truly there with him.
Others began to notice that something was amiss with Asher, as he often spoke to thin air and seemed lost in a world of his own making. But no one else could see Bloom, no matter how hard they tried to convince him that she was gone.
"She's here with me everyday , everytime , every minute , every second. She came back for me " He said .
"Yes Asher, Only for you." She whispered.
And so, Asher continued to live his life in the shadow of his lost love, finding comfort in the hallucinations that brought her back to him, if only in his mind. For as long as he lived, Bloom would always be with him, a ghostly presence that whispered of love everlasting.
