What day is today?

If you want to dream, dream big. That’s what people told me. I remembered when I was young I had big fantasy for my future husband. He has to be tall, handsome, rich, romantic, humorous, sweet, stylish, considerate, claver and integrate. This is my Ideal Husband Measurement My friend told me “Hey there is a guy quite meet your needs, he is金城武.” 金城武 sounded perfect. Except that this guy didn’t have the chance to know me. What a pity!

I have my plain but God has his plane too. One day he made me met a young man. Somehow I had special feeling for him that I never had. But I still rationally and realistically evaluate him with my Ideal Husband Measurement ------ he got only 30 point. He didn’t even close my ideality. My mind told me ‘No, it’s not good ideal.” but my heart told me “Yes, it’s true love.” What should I do? Yes. or No.? If I had known Linda I would flip a coin but I didn’t know her at that time. Anyway a wisdom that was my mom she told me “Everything is determined in advance by fate.” How can I resist the fate.

Eventually I married him. I am very happy, honestly to say, but candle light dinner never happened to me on wedding anniversary, surprised gift was never given to me on birthday. Valentine’s Day was just impossible dream to me. Years after years I kept on complaining yet this man just too foolish to remember. Until one day-----   

It was a pleasant spring morning my husband was ready to go to work I was reading newspaper. Before he left I asked him carelessly ‘Do you remember what day today is?’ He smile and said “Of course I do. I can’t believe that you thought I’d need reminding. How could I forget a day like today?” He kissed me goodbye and left.

Two hours later the door was knocked I open the door a delivery man handed me a dozen of roses. What a surprise. He must be kidding me. I thought.

Later in the afternoon the door was knocked again another delivery man gave me a box of chocolate. That was my favorite Godiva . I was startled this time.

In the evening my husband came back and he asked me out for dinner. He had made the reservation at Hotel one. It was incredible. I gave him the warmest hug in the world. I was so touched and almost cried. But all of this seemed so unreal my excitement last only for one minute. I remember I had read an article it said ‘If your husband became unusually kind and romantic. It means you got into trouble. He must be guilty for something and try to compensate.” So I asked him seriously ‘Honey did you do anything cheating on me?’ He said ‘Of course not.’ “Then what do we celebrate for?’ “It was Valentine’s Day, isn’t it?’ I just can’t help laughing loudly I said ‘Today is April 1^st , it’s April Fools Day only.’ You should have seen the expression on his face.

If you think after this he can remember all the so called important days, you are wrong. However he got smatter.

He took me out for dinner from time to time.

He bought me present whenever I like

He regards every day as Valentine’s Day.

I became the happiest girl in the world.

Toast for the change!  

I know I am the biggest winner in the whole event.

I swear on the bible that I didn’t set the trap or play the trick. I just asked an irrelevant meaningless question “What day is today?’ That’s all.
