The next morning, Matthew prepared a surprise for Sophia. He asked for help from Yuri who was both close to him and Sophia.
The three of them beca closer to each other after hanging out for three monts. He connived with Yuri in surprising Sophia.
Last night, Matthew had decided. He would do the best thing for both of them. He would support Sophia in reaching her dreams.
Sophia went to school today, preparing for their upcoming school year-end party. She was the new Campus Belle who replaced Zhen-Zhen last sester.
Sophia would be transferred abroad for her last year in college and she would continue her studies for a Master's Degree there.
So she would not only stay abroad for two years but it would be a duration of three years. Because of this, Matthew made a great decision in his life.
Sophia had just finished their rehearsal together with the other beauties when she received a text ssage from Yuri.
Yuri's ssage: [ Sophie, are you free? Let's et. Brandon and I had an argunt. Can you comfort ? ]
Sophia got worried when she saw Yuri's ssage. Yuri and Brandon seldom fight and argue so she thought this argunt between the couple was very serious this ti.
Sophia typed her ssage, sending it to Yuri.
Sophia's ssage: [ I just finished my rehearsal so I'm free. Are you okay? Where are you? ]
Yuri sent her location to her. Sophia was surprised that Yuri was currently in one of the cozy restaurants of the City of Empire. It was the nearest restaurant in the University of Imperial Knight.
Sophia imdiately left the campus to et Yuri. It only took her ten minutes to reach the restaurant. Yuri was standing near the entrance so Sophia was able to see her right away.
Yuri waved at her before she walked to approach her. The two ladies kissed each other's cheeks and hugged each other.
"Doc Yuri, are you okay? What happened between the two of you?" Sophia asked her worriedly.
Yuri let out soft giggles while looking at Sophia with amusent.
"Can we proceed to our table first before talking? Go to our private booth #18 on the second floor. I will just talk to the restaurant manager." Yuri was sending Sophia away. The surprise was already waiting for her in booth # 18.
Sophia didn't suspect anything. She just headed to booth #18 as she decided to wait for Yuri.
Upon opening the door of the booth #18, falling petals welcod Sophia. She was confused for a mont. She thought she entered the wrong booth.
However, when her eyes saw a familiar figure her heart skipped a beat. Matthew was standing there at the center with a loving smile on his charming face.
He was holding a bouquet of red roses. Then the music suddenly played, resounding inside the booth.
[ Author's Note: You can listen to the song "At My Worst" by Pink Sweat while reading this. Credits to the Artist and Song Writer. ]
[ Can I call you baby? Can you be my friend? Can you be my lover up until the very end? Let show you love, oh, I don't pretend Stick by my side even when the world is givin' in, yeah ]
As the music started, Matthew traced his steps towards Sophia who froze in her spot. She didn't expect this kind of surprise from Matthew. The entire booth was decorated with flowers and balloons, both in the shade of white, pink, and red.
Upon reaching her spot, Matthew gave the bouquet to Sophia, kissing her forehead. Sophia held the bouquet while Matthew engulfed her in his arms, hugging her.
The music continued playing...
[ Oh, oh, oh, don't… Don't you worry
I'll be there, whenever you want ]
[I need sobody who can love at my worst… No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth… 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first… And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst.]
"Let's dance," Matthew softly whispered in Sophia's ear. She could only nod her head with a broad smile on her face.
As they danced, Matthew also sang the lyrics of the song.
[ If you stay forever, let hold your hand… I can fill those places in your heart no one else can… Let show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah… I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim… ]
[ Oh, oh, oh, don't… Don't you worry… I'll be there, whenever you want … ]
The two were lost in their own world. Their profound love was reflected in their eyes as they stared at each other while dancing slowly.
When the music stopped, Sophia and Matthew continued hugging each other.
"What is the occasion?" Sophia asked him curiously. "Today is not our monthsary."
"You are about to leave next month so–"
"So you want to spend more ti with by giving surprises and being romantic? Does Yuri know this? Did you make her your accomplice? Yuri and Brandon didn't fight?" Sophia bombarded him with so many questions.
"Yes, I asked for Yuri's help. And aside from being romantic and spending more ti with you... I'm here to ask you sothing," Matthew said, a twinkle of joy glead in his eyes as he glanced at her.
"Ask what?" For so unknown reason, Sophia's heart raced even faster. 'Is he proposing to ?'
"Can I… Can I go with you… abroad?" Matthew asked her expectantly.
Sophia crumpled her face. She was a little bit disappointed. She thought he would ask her to marry him.
Matthew noticed the changes in her expression so he asked her, "Why? Don't you want to co with you? Do I look like a clingy boyfriend?"
"Of course not! How long will you stay there? How about your work here?" Sophia tried her best to hide her disappointnt.
"I already submitted my resignation to Tristan. He approved it already. I will stay there for three years to accompany you. I can look for a job there as well. Is that okay for you? We will live under one roof!"
Before Sophia could reply, Matthew picked sothing inside his pocket.
"But before you answer that, you have to respond to this certain question first… Sophia, will you marry ?"
Sophia just blinked several tis, unable to utter so words. Just when she thought he would not ask her today, Matthew suddenly asked her, catching her by surprise.
"Can't you be more romantic to ask? What an odd timing to ask that?" Yuri murmured to herself as she witnessed how Matthew proposed to Sophia. She just took several pictures of the couple before she left them silently.
anwhile, Matthew was still waiting for Sophia's response. He opened the small box containing Sophia's ring. It was a diamond ring.
"I'm sorry for asking you this so early… I planned on proposing to you after your graduation but I couldn't wait anymore. If you think you are not yet ready to be my wife and you are not sure yet if you want to spend your whole life with then I will respect your decision… I just want–"
Matthew was interrupted when Sophia suddenly tiptoed, covering his mouth with her lips. She kissed him passionately.
When they broke apart, Sophia answered him. "Yes! I will marry you! I want to spend my whole life with you! You can co with abroad. Let's live together!"
Matthew felt so happy hearing her response. He imdiately put the ring on her finger.
"Thank you, Sophia! I promise I will take care of you and love you with all my heart. Thank you for accepting … and my love."
