Chapter 2

Margaret opened her wardrobe to search for a good-colored gown that will match her first date. She selected the purple colored one, that has a touch of pink designs on it. At 8pm, her door bell rang, behold Ferdinard comes. Dressed in a blue coloured t-shirt on a dark colored Jean. He stretched out his hand to take Margaret to his car. So where are we heading to? Margaret asked him. Why not wait till we get there? He asked in response to her question But we have been driving for almost an hour now. She said again. Margaret you have to understand that this is our first date, so I want to make it special. Don’t worry yourself, we'll get there soon. As Ferdinard was about taking a turn to the left route, he discovered that his car was moving so slowly. He stopped to check what the problem was and to his shock; one of his tires got flattened. He kicked the tires as if it will make it better again. Damn this! You ruined my plans for tonight. Margaret alighted from the car to know what the problem was, on seeing that ferdinard was looking frustrated, she felt bad but nevertheless tried to cheer him up with one of her tricks. And now that we have a flat tire, what do we do? She asked. I’m going to put a call across to my home, so that another car can be brought. It’s okay. Ferdinard reached for his pocket to get his phone; he discovers that there is no signal. Margaret, I think there’s no signal here. What do we do now? Let’s just sit here and wait for a good Samaritan to pass by. Maybe we might get some help from him. I’m sorry Margaret. Ferdinard apologized. What are you apologizing for? For keeping you here, That’s what you get for wanting to take me to a Faraway place. Are you trying to tease me? Come here you, Margaret pulled ferdinard to her side. Even if we don’t go to the place you have prepared for us tonight, we can still have our first date here. I’m not kidding Margaret. Ferdinard replied. And I’m not kidding Ferdinard, just come and sit here so that I’ll show you something. Ferdinard walked up to where she was and sitted close to her. So what are you showing me? Ferdinard asked looking directly at her eyes and placing his hands at the side of her chick. Have you seen these kind of stars before? Margaret asked as she pointed to the sky. I haven’t seen them in this manner, Ferdinard replied. You know what ferdinard? look at the stars and tell me what you feel about them. Ferdinard turned to look at Margaret’s face without her noticing it. Margaret the stars are so beautiful, they’re so sparking but not to be compared to how beautiful and sparking as you are. Margaret, all my life, I haven’t seen anyone like you. If there’s another thing that can be compared to the stars, that’s who you are. Margaret wake up! There’s a tricycle coming our way.
