It was Valentine Day, my very first Valentine Celebration with my girlfriend in my life. So I invited her for a candle light dinner at Marina Bay , the "69 Floor" Restaurant.
It was a formal and one of the most expensive restaurants in Singapore. I had to spend more than an hour to prepare my clothes as formal as that suited the sign of restaurant. My girl wore dress. That was my first time I saw her wore dress. She looked much more beautiful than an angle. I hoped that night would be a memorable time for both of us.
We order our favorite meal , Beef Steak and Fish & Chip. We enjoyed the meal with the candle light , the beautiful view where were were 69 floor high, pleasureful musics by the real band and the restaurant looked very high class. It was perfectly romantic dinner until we paid the bill.
"My apologize sir, our net payment machine were error. Could you please pay by cast?"
Oh my goodness! I am in hot water, I talked to my self. I was confidence that I could pay by net so I only bring less than $40 in my wallet. The bill was $90++.
It was a big shock to me. I was speechless. I kept sweating and shaking my whole body that I did not know how to solve that problem. I seemed be helpless. The only hope that my girlfriend could bring enough money. "How could I ask her to pay the bill ?", I spoke to myself. Its was embarrassing let the girl pay for the bill.
The most embarrassing that that night was I invited her for a dinner and I proudly said" Today I will treat you dinner , my dear." What a shameful that I even could not keep my promise.
Everyone were curiously looking at my table. I could feel my face very hot. I could see some customer were mumbling something. That would be properly about me. I was so shameful that I wish I could dig a hole and hide myself immediately.
"Here is our bill payment, you may keep the change." my girlfriend replied in gentle way. It was a big surprise how she could be calm and replied normally.
That made me so happy that the problem had been solved , but more shameful that let the girl pay for bill. I had no choice. After that , I am more embarrassing that I did not know how you felt. Was she angry? I wished she was not. My heart kept bumping faster and faster.
" I am sorry..." I talked very softly
" Its fine, my dear. I am understand. I am not angry you. By the way, I would like to give you this." By the time she opened the bag and took out a pink box of chocolate " Happy Valentine Day, I love you!"
That was a very big happy moment for me. I felt on top of the world. Even though there was some accident during the event but both of us had solve the problem together. I loved her very much. I would like to plan for dating her on coming White Valentine Day , 14th of March. And that time , I will not let this shame happen to us again.
