Play it Nice

A one not-so-ordinary weekend, they agreed to meet up at the badminton court where they usually play. He wanted to make it look very ordinary when in fact something remarkable will happen.

He had been training Karen for about several months and had been in love since then. He set up the balls in line on the floor for the supposedly training rituals. The catch is, he wrote the letters W- I- L- L Y-O-U B-E M-Y L-A-D-Y ? on the floor and the shuttlecocks hide it on the floor.

Karen came and said “Hey! Isn’t it a Saturday ? Why are people not here? “ I don’t know,” Marlon replied. “Hey! Let’s start, you have it all set up.” “Alright here we go.”

“Ahm, just the same routines, get the shuttlecocks and bring it on the other side of the court.”

And so Karen started to do the warm up for the training and suddenly stopped when she finally realized that something is written on the floor. She took off the other shuttlecocks and read the words. “Will you be my Lady?”

She wandered her eyes to search for Marlon who suddenly disappeared. Then she saw him. He was walking towards her. He lifted his hands and took his hand and Princess Cut Solitaire Ring in her fingers.

“I thought you would never ask!” says Karen.
