49 Miguel M

Today was your birthday and you were surrounded by your friends and family. The party was full of laughter, music, and conversation, but for you, something was missing: you were just waiting for your boyfriend, Miguel.

He had told you he wouldn't be long, but that was an hour ago.

You tried to act normal, smiling and mingling with everyone, though deep down you couldn't help but constantly glance toward the door. No matter how cheerful the atmosphere was, you felt the party wouldn't be complete until he arrived. After all, the only person who could truly make that day even more special was your partner.

While you were talking to some friends, you finally saw him arrive.

Miguel appeared with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in one hand and, in the other, a stuffed animal holding a small sign with the words: “Happy birthday”.

At that moment, everything seemed to stop. It was one of the most beautiful moments of the night. His parents quickly took out their phones to take pictures, wanting to preserve that moment forever, while you, without thinking twice, ran towards him and hugged him with all the happiness you had been holding back.

— “Hi, Nube… did you really think I wouldn’t come? I would never miss the party of the girl I love most in my life. Believe me, I was looking for the perfect flowers, the ones that would remind me most of you. I chose each one for its bright color and its fragrance… they are as beautiful as you. And this stuffed animal… well, maybe it’s just decoration, but I know you’ll love it.” *

• You didn’t know what to say. *

• His words stole your heart again and again, even more than he already had. It didn’t matter if the gift was big or small; Miguel always managed to leave you speechless, not only because of what he gave you, but because of the way he transformed something so simple into something so incredibly beautiful.
