Arnold suspected that
Gilly tried to keep a distance from him. So, one day he decided to tail Gilly.
He was very surprised when she saw Gilly went in to a coffee shop and served
the customers there. Arnold said to himself: “What is Gilly doing? Working? But
why? She never told me anything about looking for a job and now she is working
in a coffee shop? And for that reason, she often misses her classes. Ah, I’m so
confused.”
He hardly could wait for
Gilly to finish her working hours. And right after she was off, he directly
approached Gilly and asked her: “Gilly, why you didn’t tell me about this? You
often misses the class and you didn’t answer my calls!” Gilly was very shocked
when she saw her boyfriend came to her working place. She said: “Oh my God, Arnold!
What are you doing? You shouldn’t have come here, just go away!” then
Arnold replied: “That was also my question for you. What are you doing here?
Please, Gilly be honest with me!” Afterwards, they sat together in the coffee
shop and talked. Gilly told him the problem she was facing. After Arnold heard
about Gilly’s problem, he promised Gilly to help her find a better solution. He
said that working in a coffee shop wasn’t a wise decision because Gilly often
had to sacrifice her classes.
Arnold kept his promise
to Gilly. He contacted some of his friends to help Gilly. And one of his
friends named Bill suggested that Gilly used his food cart to sell something.
Arnold thought that it was a brilliant idea because when they used the food
cart, they could sell something in the street near the campus. Bill asked where
Gilly came from, and Arnold told him that Gilly came from Indonesia. “Wow! It
was such a great idea, Arnold! I still remember when I came to Indonesia, the
Indonesian snacks were very nice. They tasted great, very delicious. What if
Gilly make some of Indonesian snacks and sell them near the campus?”. Arnold
was amazed by his friend’s reaction. He strongly agreed to Bill’s suggestion.
Hastily Arnold phoned Gilly and told her about the ideas that Arnold and Bill
have already discussed. Gilly was very glad because there were people who
really cared for her. And she said that she wanted to take the opportunity.
5 days later, after the
preparation of the food cart, the menus and the other things, Gilly finally
sold snacks in the food cart. After the class, she always rushed to her food
cart and sold some of Indonesian’s snacks like “Klepon”, “Pisang Goreng”,
“Ote-ote” and many others. Many Australians were interested in her snacks.
Arnold also helped Gilly when she sold the snacks. He promoted Gilly’s snack to
his friends. One day, on the 35th day they have been selling
snacks, one of the television program came to her food cart to have an
interview and it would be aired in the television. Gilly was proud of her
accomplishment until now.
Finally, after 3 years
studying in the university and had a part time job on the food cart, Gilly
graduated. Arnold was very proud of her girlfriend. After the graduation, Gilly
was called by Mr. Parker, the director of a famous television channel in
Australia. He asked Gilly if she wanted to have a special cooking program in
the television. Gilly thought that it was a great opportunity that God had
already prepared for her. She decided to take the job and she became a celebrity
chef by doing a cooking demo at the television program.
The rating of the
program was very good, the audiences really liked the way Gilly hosted the show
and the menus that Gilly cooked, because it varied widely, from Indonesian
cuisine to western dishes. Mr. Parker also paid a close attention to Gilly’s
progress. He saw her every show.
Meanwhile, Arnold also
had a good job. He opened a restaurant there and it was successful. One day,
after each of them had finished their work, Arnold picked Gilly to a restaurant
to have dinner. At the restaurant, they shared their experiences, they made
some jokes and laughed. Then after the dinner, Arnold gave Gilly an envelope
and asked her to open it. Gilly was very curious so she opened it and found a
plane ticket to Indonesia. It was very surprising, how could that be? Then
Arnold said that let’s go to Indonesia together and I had something special for
you there.
Finally the day that
they were waiting for arrived, they went to Indonesia together. They went to
Singaraja, Gilly’s hometown in Bali. There, Arnold met Gilly’s parents and they
greet each other. The next day, Arnold took Gilly to a private beach. There,
Arnold has already prepared something. It was a wedding proposal! He
proposed Gilly to marry him. He said: “Gilly, we have already in a
relationship for four years and I think it wasn’t a short time. During these
time, I can feel that we are a match for each other. And now, would you marry
and be my everything in my whole life?” Once again, Gilly was shocked, because
Arnold always made something that couldn’t be predicted. Gilly cried and she
answered: “Yes, I would.” Wow, such a romantic moment. After the proposal,
Gilly’s family came and they were very happy for the couple and they had a
dinner together at the private beach. After 3 days in Bali, finally they went
back to Australia to work.
Every day after they
already finished their work, they always met together. And one day, Arnold took
Gilly to meet his family. Arnold introduced Gilly to his parents as his
fiancée. Arnold’s parents were very glad and suggested that they got married
soon. So the next week, Arnold and Gilly started to prepare their wedding. They
found the event organizer, the venue, the wedding dress and suits, the
invitation and many other detail things.
1 years has passed and the
wedding day has come. The party was really grand, the bride and groom were
lovely and the guests were well served. Arnold and Gilly began their new life
together and they lived happily ever after.
*THE END*
