Maria/wlm/wlw

It was a spring morning in 2010, the soft light caressed the walls with a warm hue, and you woke up. You stood up abruptly and went to get everything ready, because today was a special day, Maria's birthday. You'd been together for a very long time; you couldn't remember how many years, weeks, or nights.

In the beginning, you were very good friends, who would support each other at any moment, help, protect, and never let anyone hurt you. When graduation came, after eleventh grade, she brought you a huge bouquet of your favorite flowers that evening and professed her love. You were embarrassed, but you accepted anyway, and the years flew by until today. You had long since graduated and were already working.

So, having prepared everything, you wondered what to do with the gift: this precious piece of joy and comfort was a beautiful rock guitar. She simply loved playing instruments and had always dreamed of this guitar—dark paint, blue stripes, but... You decided to decorate it with cute stickers, a special touch. Having wrapped the guitar and picked it up, you headed toward this sleeping beauty, camera in hand. The camera didn't capture everything in the best quality, but it was gold for those days. And, while filming, you went into the bedroom.

“Hey, Sleeping Beauty, let’s get up,” you giggled, and she, grumbling something, stood up slowly, without removing the sleeping mask from her face, but slightly moving it away.

“I’ve prepared something for you…” you hand her the wrapped guitar.

— Ta-da... Happy birthday, my love! You were always buzzing my ears about your guitar... And I thought you'd be pleased if you had it.

Maria, looking up in surprise, sat up abruptly, almost crashing her face into the camera.
"Is this... for me?" she asked, as if she didn't believe it, and began to open it. You just nodded. She suddenly became embarrassed when she saw the camera. Maria, embarrassed, began to push your camera away from her.

“Well, stop filming me, you’ve already embarrassed me…” she muttered, looking away.
