“Stop!,” He blocked me.

“What do you want?,” I raised my voice to him.

“Sorry, I’m your class student and your secret friend. I would sit in the seat in front of you,” he said with looking at the ground.

I take a deep inhale.

“Sorry for misunderstood, I didn’t see you,” I said and felt sorry for him.

"Oh my! It's my third proposal from someone," I thought.

“But, I can’t,” I said and took steps back.

“Why?,” he asked with innocent eyes.

“I can’t, that’s it,” I ran away from him. I reached my home. My parents told me to get ready to go church. We tied my dog on the porch.

We went to the church. There, I ran to Santa clause. He blessed me and gave me a new year card. ‘Your love coming to you’ it was in it. My parents bring me into the church. A Few minutes later, I went out to play swing.

“Why did he propose to me?,” I thought about my Christmas secret friend.

At the time, a small boy came there and sat next to my swing.

“Hi!, sister,” he said with kept swinging.

I nodded my head.

“Why are you sad?,” he asked.

“I thought my Christmas secret friend give a gift, but he proposed to me,” I stopped swinging and said with looking at the ground.

“You are so beautiful, sister,” he also stopped swinging and staring at me.

“How do you say it, do I seem beautiful to you?,” I asked him and looked him with doubts.

“Yes, sister. You look beautiful,” he got down from swing, and he approached me.

“I would love you if I was a big boy now,” he gave me a rose and smiled at me.

"It's my fourth proposal from you," I said.

“Me too!,” also I rubbed his hair and smiled at me.

“Sorry, sister, my mom will yell at me, I need to go,” he said and left.

I looked my watch, it’s only 1 minute left for Jesus birth.

I looked at the clock on the church.

My dog came there with holding a purple prince flower. It’s my favorite flower. It is blossom in winter season only.

“Lu, why are you here? Who untie you?,” I kneeled to my dog and rubbed his neck with my hands.

Lu dropped the flower on my hand.

“Who gave it to you?,” I lifted his face.

Lu turned back and barking at me, then he went with wiggling his tail.

“He’s trying to say follow him,” I thought.

I followed him. He brought me to kinder garden. A brightness came from the place where purple prince bloom.

Their place was filled up by a purple prince flower on the snow. The lights made glow it.

“Wow!,” I kneeled down and touching the flowers.

At the time, a scene came to my mind.

“I was playing with purple prince flower while I’m in the kinder garden. My childhood friend denial also with me there. He was a lovable friend of mine. “It’s my favorite flower, denial,” I said to him. He plucked the flower, and he gave it to me. He and I smiled each other. But, he left me in the elementary school for his parents .”

I smiled at the flower with thinking about him.

Since he left me from the kindergarten he didn’t come here even once.

I saw a boots leg in front of me, then I stand up slowly by looking at him from down.

He stretched the purple prince flower to me.

His handsome face frozen me.

“Who are you?,”I asked him without blinking my eyes.

“I’m… denial,”he said and smiled with holding flower.

“Danial,”tears started to come out from my eyes.

“Sorry to make you wait for long periods, ” he kneeled down in front of me.

I looked him with watery eyes.

“I love you, lusi,”he proposed to me with purple prince flower.

I got it from his hand. He was standard up and, then I hugged him tightly. I closed my watery eyes. My tears wet his coat.

“Sorry, lusi,” he also hugged me tightly and started to cry.

"My fifth proposal is from you my true love," I thought.

Christmas Eve Bell started to ring when Danial hugged me.
