Let me tell you a story, it started with a beautiful bird coming up to me when I was having my morning coffee in the balcony.
 
I’ve asked her what brought you here, she said: “I’ve some good news for you”
“Good news!” I then followed “What sort of good news?!”
 
Then, she showed me a letter that was folded into a quarter. I eagerly caught it from her to see what’s inside that mysterious letter.
 
 When I did, I found something strange. It was so beautiful, so beautiful that I can’t believe it was written. It was as if some kind of a master painter made it.
 
It said, “I’ve always been seeing you walking in that garden, with your striped shirt and your slim silky pants, I’ve always seen how your hair bounces so effortlessly when you’re in a hurry and I gaze at you for non-stop in your magnificent scenery, it’s like one of those love movies where everything that happens is so utterly beautiful!”
 
Then, she followed by,” Seeing you in the morning is like a remedy to my soul that was broken of feeling so lonely, to fill my tiny fractures, feeling that I was never made for someone, feeling that maybe my life wasn’t meant to be happy like I see in all those love stories and when I saw you everything changed. You were like the hope that I never felt that I was so missing in my life.”
 
She asked me, at last, to raise my head higher, maybe one day I will be lucky to have her looking at me.
 
Then everything inside me was rushed, I could feel the blood inside my veins being pumped and my adrenaline started to kick in. I then yelled at the bird. “Who is she? I need to see that person”
 
The bird said to me,” Just look at the back of the letter, you will find initials of her name” then she flew away”
 
However, I did reach out for the letter and I found out that the initials were M.M. I started asking myself, “Do I really know someone with this name or is it just all in my imagination? Did the bird really come to me and gave me a letter or this is just a silly dream that I am having? Like what a sane guy would believe this?”
 
I didn’t care about anything else rather than filling this persistent urge to find out who this woman is.
 
I then went wearing my jacket because it was a cold rainy night. I decided to go out screaming her initials in every street and every corner I reached. People then thought that I was crazy.
 
 
Well, maybe I am. Like who is looking after a woman who he never met in his life just because a bird brought her initials to him.
 
I didn’t care, to be honest, and I decided to keep looking for this mysterious lover of mine. I did the same routine over and over for the past three days in a row where I reached a point where I started crying in the street.
 
People didn’t even bother to ask what’s wrong about me .Despite my tears fell faster than the rain did, most of the people passed by.
 
My tears were being blended by the rain and I said to myself, “God, show me this person, I know you do listen to our prayers in those rainy nights”
 
I then hugged my chest with my arms feeling so shameful of myself.
 
I went back home then, dragging my heavy heart by my much heavier legs. I then entered my home. But before I did I found out something strange. I found there is another letter at my footsteps!
 
I went then to open it whipping my tears away in order not to mess it up.
 
It then said:
“I saw you last night with your beautiful face filled with tears, I wish that I was there to wipe every tear of yours, you were like a baby needing his mom, a person who is looking for the home of his heavy soul, the home that lies in another stranger’s soul. I still do find peace in those dazzling eyes as I did for the past three years straight. I have never had the courage to introduce myself to yours. But, I decided to break that and I will be meeting you tomorrows afternoon in that café where all the lovers meet, it’s located in the middle of the town near to a flower shop where I will be picking you some dark red beautiful flowers, I will be there for you at 5:00 PM in order to see the sunset together afterwards.
 
I’m waiting for you, my sweet beloved”
 
I then teared up that my tears started to fall in the middle of that letter and I hugged it really tight to my heart that my heart pace raced up so fast. My heart came out of my chest dancing saying: “This is the moment we all have been waiting for, finally you have someone that would care about you and would share all the moments with you like as you wanted, maybe it would be better than you expected.” He then whipped my tears away saying that’s alright and he needed me to look sharp as hell in order to make this mysterious woman like me.
 
The next day came, after spending the night in front of my mirror rehearsing some flirting sentences to use in front of her.
 
I dressed up then with my father’s jacket. He always said that I need to be wearing this jacket when I go meet a girl that I like; because that was the jacket he was wearing when he met my mom.
 
Then I went there to that café where I found a woman that I have never seen any woman like her before. She could kill with those eyes that can make you stare at them for years without being bored. She had this silky long dark hair that moves like it was made from heaven. She then opened her mouth to smile in a shy way to find a way for those diamonds rowed in her mouth. She was like a painting that I would stare in a museum full of art works.
 
She, then, said come closer and when I did; it was my lungs being filled with fresh air and me feeling all my senses for the first time.
 
When I sat down she then gave me the flowers hiding her silly shy face from me.
 
I was gazing at her non-stop. “How such a beautiful woman like her likes a person like me?” I kept asking myself endlessly.
 
She then said to me:
“Here’s why I liked you for the past three years: you always feed those animals with your food that you brought to them every night. I’ve seen how you treated them with pleasure and love. I saw how you brought shelter to those beautiful homeless children and how long every one of them would hug you. And you smiling is like the present you have always wanted to have”
 
She followed:
“I’ve always wanted to be one of those people, to be hugged by your shelter in your kind heart and have you all selfishly”
 
Then that bird came one more time saying, “Don’t you want to know what MM stands for?”
 
I then replied, “Of course I do!”
 
The bird then said, “It is marry me, she always said marry me when she saw you every day”. The bird then brought us a ring that I put into her finger.
And this was the start
 
I will let you sleep now my little daughter Mona, Next day I will tell you another story about your mom.
