Chapter one
One Sunday afternoon, a guy named Jim was planning to propose to his mentally disabled girlfriend, so he planned everything from the setting to the proposal ring. Jim was so in love with his girlfriend even though he knows that his love has a mental problem, but that didn’t stop him from loving and caring for her.
At that night, the girl was watching her favorite anime “Full moon wo Sagashite”. While she was watching her favorite anime she Shouted, “I Love You My Prince Takuto!” and then said, “I want to marry you! I do! I do!” While she was shouting, her mother called to her, “Rika, Jim’s at the phone and he wants to talk to you.” Rika then went to the phone and answered, “Hello” she giggled, “Who’s this?” she giggled again, “Why did you called?” and she giggled again. At the other end of the phone was Jim trying to tell her to go to a restaurant near the park. He said, “Hello Rika, it’s me Jim, can we go to a restaurant near the park this evening?” he smiled, “I have a surprise for you.” Rika, being a childish one said to him, “Sure, let’s go, I like surprises… we’ll be going now?” she giggled, “Or later?” and giggled again. “Later,” said Jim, “at 6 o’clock, I’ll pick you up okay?” “Okay,” she giggled. And they then both dropped the phone.
It was already six, and Rika was ready for her surprise at the restaurant, “Surprise, surprise, surprise, I love surprises,” she sang. Then came Jim at the door and rang the doorbell. Rika’s mom opened the door and greeted him, “Good evening Jim, Rika is waiting at the Living room,” Much to their surprise, Rika was behind her mom jumping and giggled, “Are we going now? Are you here to pick me up? Let’s go to the surprise!” said Rika excitedly in a childish manner. Then Jim replied, “Okay, let’s go to your surprise Rika,” he smiled, “thanks ma’am, I promise I’ll take care of her.” “Okay Jim, you two have a good time together. Rika be sure not to give Jim any problem okay?” Rika nodded and giggled, “Okay.” And so, Jim and Rika went off to the restaurant.
What Rika doesn’t know is that the surprise was already set for her and Jim was ready to give and ask her hand in marriage. And Rika thinks that her surprise will be a party with lots of goodies and mascots. And so she asked Jim, “Jimmy,” she started, “Is there a mascot in my surprise?” “No,” Jim answered, “Just wait and see for yourself later, okay?” “Okay,” she smiled and giggled, “I want to see it already.”
As they arrived at the location Jim took a hanky and said to Rika that she needed to be blindfolded so it can be a real surprise. As Rika was blindfolded, she said to Jim softly, “I wish that My Prince is in my surprise.” Jim replied to her saying, “Just wait and see okay? It will be a wonderful surprise for you.” Jim thought the prince Rika was telling him was him, but the truth is it wasn’t him but Takuto her favorite anime character. Rika was so excited as they walked to the surprise area. Jim assisted her to walk and she was giggling like a little girl who was tickled by her angel. Jim new her childish mannerisms but he didn’t care because of his love for her.
Along the way to the surprise area, Jim asked Rika if she loves him or not. Rika giggled and said, “Yes I love you. I love you so much.” Hearing this, Jim has proven Rika’s love for him, but what will happen if he knew that Rika’s prince wasn’t him? What if he finds out that the prince she was babbling about is not real? What will be Jims reactions if he hears Rika’s plans of marrying her prince? (Let’s find out in the next Chapter~_^)
Chapter Two
At last, they arrived at the surprise area. Jim took her by the hand and assisted her to sit in a chair. Rika, who was so excited asked Jim if the surprise is ready, and he said, “Yes it’s here, ready for you to see.” As Jim took off her blindfold, Rika slowly opened her eyes and was really surprised! It was a wonderful setting with flowers all-a-bloom surrounding the place, dinner setting with candle lights and heart shaped balloons with sweet candy goodies beside it. She was so overjoyed and she giggled as she hugged Jim and kissed him on the cheek saying to him thank you five times. So they settled and had their dinner.
As they were eating, there was no romantic essence in the scene for they were so quite. Although Jim wanted to talk to Rika, Rika always giggles and smiles at him and that makes him nervous. Jim waited for the right time to budge in with the question he wants to ask her. As he found the right pace to ask the question, he took his chair and went to sat beside Rika. In his mind, he was saying, “befor I ask her to marry me, I should ask her other question before that.” And so he started, “Uhm, R-Rika, m-may I a-ask y-you s-somet-thing?” because he was nervous, it cause him to stammer while he asks his questions to Rika. Rika, who seemed mused with his manner giggled and said, “You’re so cute when you’re like that. You make me smile.” Hearing this, Jim swallowed his nervousness and took the courage to finally ask her the important question he wanted to say to her.
“Rika,” he started, “You know how I love you so much right? And that you know how much I care for you right?”
“Yes I do,” she replied.
Jim started to tremble again but he again swallowed it and continued to his question.
“Rika, if ever someone asks you to marry you, will you accept the offer?”
“Hmm,” she said, “Yes! Especially if my Prince will be the one to ask me to marry him. That would be so nice and romantic right? Right” and she giggled.
Jim smiled and asked, “Do you really love your Prince?”
“Yes I do! With all my heart!” she replied and giggled.
“Rika, I wanted to ask you something… a question that will probably change our lives. You know that in the past few years we had been together and we had a strong relationship and we had proved to each other that we do love one another. Now I want to tell you how I have waited for this day to come… to ask you this one question…”
Rika was shocked as she saw Jim kneeling in front of her. Jim slowly took a small black box, and inside the box was the proposal ring. But what Rika thought of the box was different… she thought that it was a box of chocolate. So she smile at Jim as Jim slowly ask the question…
“Rika, my darling Rika,” he slowly opened the box and Rika saw a ring and Jim smiled and said, “Will you marry me my darling Rika? Will you be my princess and live with me in our dream castle?”
Rika seemed shocked for a few second when suddenly she laughed in front of Jim and said, “Are you out of your mind? You’re not a prince…. And I will only marry my prince Takuto.” And she giggled.
Jim who was so surprised of her answer, felt so bad and he bowed his head and cried in tears… he wept and tried to stand up. And as he had stood up, he looked at Rika with sad and teary expression she dropped the ring on the floor. Rika, who saw his sad and teary expression, felt bad inside her and she felt a striking feeling inside her heart, she does love him and that wants to marry him. As she was about to say it to Jim, Jim turned and walked away, but she the grabbed his hand and stopped him. As she held Jim’s hand tightly, she started to say, “Please don’t go Jim… stay with me… be with me… I know now how I really feel… I-I,” she started to cry, “I love you! I love you very much! I want to be with you forever! Don’t go...”
Rika fell to her knees and wept. Jim felt sad as well seeing her cry, but he was hurt and told her, “But you love your prince Takuto right?”
Rika stood up and asked him, “If I say this will you ever forgive me? And love me once again?”
And so she took the proposal ring and went in front of Jim and kneeled before him. Jim who saw what her, felt sad, seeing that his beloved Rika crying and kneeling in front of him.
“Jim, my darling Jim,” she started, “Will you be my prince and live with me in our dream castle?” she said and a she was about to continue to speak, Jim knelt down and said, “Will you be my princess and live with me in our castle? Will you marry me my darling princess Rika?” and finally she replied yes and the ring was worn to her. As they stood up, they hugged and had their first kiss.
A few days after, Jim and Rika got married and after the ceremony, they went off to their dream castle beside the beach. Rika indeed felt like a princess with her loving prince Jim because their house was indeed a castle.
Rika has matured and her childish manners were gone, well not totally gone, but she acts more mature that she used to be. Jim always take her to their garden beside the castle and they play chase. And here the story ends…. And they live happily ever after. The End.
