The Dawn of Love Has Arrived

Only one of us could be bailed, and my boyfriend chose his childhood sweetheart.

"Baby, wait for me for just another night. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

He was worried about her illness, but he did not care that I was afraid of the dark.

Later, I called him and said, "Mark, I've been waiting for you for years."

"But I won't wait forever."

——

My boyfriend's childhood sweetheart and I were waiting to be bailed out at the police station.

Mark came in a hurry and wanted to bail us both.

However, the police officer did not allow him to do so. He firmly said that Mark could only bail one of us.

I looked at Mark, and his eyes flashed with hesitation.

In the end, he reached out to the girl behind me.

Before leaving, he held my hand tightly.

"Baby, wait for me for just another night. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

It was sincere.

But he didn't look back.

He left in such a hurry that he didn't hear my answer.

He didn't hear if I was willing to wait for him.

He didn't hear if I was afraid, aggrieved, and sad.

Unconvinced, I stared at their backs as they gradually disappeared.

The policeman beside me joked, "I knew he wouldn't choose you."

Stunned, I didn't know what to say.

But when Mark pursued me, he told me that he would love me forever.

I met Mark in the year when my parents died in a car accident.

I wasn't loved much in the first place, and no one loved me after that.

Thus, back then, I was silent, gloomy, and someone everyone avoided.

For me, Mark was the light that shone into my life.

He seemed to always be enthusiastic, cheerful, and the center of topics.

However, he noticed such an insignificant person like me in the crowd.

At that time, I covered my stomach and shivered in pain.

He bent down and asked me, "Young lady, do you need any help?"

Everything that followed happened as I expected.

I'd go watch his football match at weekends, and he only drank the water I passed him.

When the weather turned cold, he would put on his coat on me, and then, his ears would turn red as everyone else teased him.

He brought me into his circle.

His friends were nice and they greeted me politely.

Because of Mark, I tried my best to be cheerful and cater to them.

Gradually, I became friends with them.

However, he caged me in a corner after school and whispered, "Karla, can you stay away from them?"

"I'm jealous."

I snickered. Mark looked as adorable as a cub.

Seeing me laughing, Mark also laughed.

He would ruffle my hair like a caressing a kitten.

"Bad egg, are you so happy to see me get jealous?"

I nodded, and he kissed me all of a sudden.

I heard my deafening heartbeat and saw his bright eyes.

I had never seen the moon.

So, he asked me in a calm voice, "Kayla, will you be my girlfriend?"

So I went with him.

The news of us being together quickly spread.

The outcome seemed to be within everyone's expectations.

I wrapped my arms around his waist as I was given blessings.

Some people joked with me, "Karla, you had a treasure."

"Mark is famous for his consideration."

I smiled and also felt that I had a treasure.

Mark had taken good care of me.

He would remember the time of my period and prepare brown sugar water for me in advance.

He posted photos of me on his Twitter account one after another without holding back.

When I was suffering from mental exhaustion, he was the first to say that I was the best person in the world.

So, when he proposed to live with me, I didn't hesitate to agree.

I thought that he was so good that even if he was a fire, I would be willing to be burnt by him.

Later on, when I was alone in my room sorting out my clothes, he suddenly hugged me from behind.

I was startled by him and thought that he was acting coquettishly. I pushed him a few times, but I felt his wet cheeks.

I didn't know where he got the news of my parents' death.

That night, he refused to let go of me.

It was also at that time that he had promised me.

"Karla, I will love you forever."

"Including your parents' love, I'll give it all to you."
