Cohabitation With My Ex-Husband

Have you ever thought that one day you will be proposed to by someone to be his wife?

If that person was your current boyfriend, how would you feel if he proposed to you?

Will you smile widely because of joy?

Or you are speechless and cry tears of joy?

Or… will you be surprised because you actually can't see a future with him?

***

The atmosphere on the balcony became silent after Michael finished his sentence.

Sarah froze in place, processing what was happening, before finally her eyes widened and her mouth opened wide, causing her hands to reflexively raise and cover her mouth.

What just happened? Is she…

Sarah didn't finish her words. She turned to her side, looked at the red light that was still there with the same text she read earlier.

She then turned to Michael, who was kneeling on one knee, with a box containing a very beautiful looking ring.

Is it a dream?

Is… Sarah referred to in the text with red light is actually her?

Meanwhile, Michael could feel his heart beating very fast. When he did his rehearsal, he was very confident that he would not be nervous and did well.

This wasn't his first time proposing to Sarah so he should be able to say it smoothly and not be nervous right?

However, not only did he sound muffled just now, he was extremely nervous as well.

Sarah, who didn't say anything and only showed a surprised reaction didn't help it at all.

The nervousness then turned to anxiety.

Was this really the right time to propose to Sarah?

Hadn't Sarah made it clear that she wanted their relationship to take things slowly?

How…. What if after this, his relationship with Sarah gets awkward, and the worst situation that happens is… Sarah walks away from him?

He… shouldn't have followed his father's words!

He was too hasty about this!

"Sarah..." Michael called softly. His smile was starting to look awkward. "Can you say… something?" Michael continued in a hoarse voice.

Sarah's brain, which was still processing all of this, seemed to work normally again when she heard Michael's voice.

"Michael," Sarah called in a voice that was no less hoarse. "Is it a dream?" Sarah continued with a facial expression that still looked disbelieving.

Michael was a little confused by Sarah's answer. That…wasn't the answer he'd hoped would come from Sarah's lips.

"Erm… It's real, Sarah," answered Michael who looked confused.

"I see… this is real," Sarah muttered under her breath.

Right now, Michael is proposing. The glowing red text that she could still see with Sarah's name, it was for her.

Michael… was actually proposing to her.

Suddenly, tears came out and ran down Sarah's cheeks.

"Eh?" Sarah was slightly surprised when she realized that she was crying.

Not only Sarah, Michael who saw that immediately widened his eyes.

Sarah is crying!

Damn it! What exactly is he doing at this time? He was only 95% sure Sarah would accept him, and 5% of the women would probably reject him and say they should take it slow!

But he didn't expect Sarah to suddenly burst into tears.

"Sarah! I am really, really sorry! I…"

Michael immediately stood up. To hell with the proposal!

This is a complete failure!

Michael's hands then tried to hug Sarah, calming her down, but for some reason, he suddenly felt awkward.

Is he allowed to hug the woman?

"It's okay, Michael! Why do you look so panicked? Hahaha!" Sarah suddenly laughed when she saw how panicked Michael was.

"Eh?" Michael's face looked very confused.

"These are tears of joy, Michael!" replied Sarah, chuckling with tears still streaming down her face.

"You are happy?" asked Michael with a face that still looks confused.

Sarah nodded.

When she finally realized that Michael was proposing to her at the moment. She is so happy. So happy that tears came out.

Over these weeks, she began to question where her relationship with Michael was going. Did the man only see her as the mother of the man's kids? Did Michael just want them to date and not remarry?

It made her stressed and subconsciously started to think bad things.

However, today, Michael proved that she had once again misjudged this man. She really had to believe and not judge Michael badly again.

"Come on, ask me again," Sarah said, touching Michael's wrist.

"What?" Michael still looked like he was in a daze. This situation was completely unlike what he had expected.

"I haven't answered your question," Sarah replied with a smile.

"Ah!"

Michael seemed to come to his senses immediately. He then knelt down on one knee again, and took back the ring box he had stuffed in his trouser pocket again.

"Will you re-marry me?" asked Michael repeating his words again. This time his tone was steady with a smile on his face.

Sarah nodded her head with tears still visible on her cheeks. She felt happy. Without waiting long, she got closer to Michael, held his cheeks and immediately kissed the man's lips.

Michael grinned when the kiss finally broke. He then stood up and hugged her. Something he had always wanted to do.

Sarah put her hands around Michael's neck and hugged him tightly.

"I will treat you better this time. I promise!" whispered Michael with tears that unknowingly had come out. He felt happy.

"Me too Michael! Me too!" whispered Sarah with tears that were increasingly flowing.

The hug then finally broke free after a while.

"Here, let me put it on for you," Michael said, sucking his snot that was about to come out. "Ohh… it's really cold tonight!" he continued, starting to feel cold.

Sarah chuckled at that and let Michael take her hand to put on the ring.

"Let's go inside before you get sick," Sarah said while giving Michael some of her blankets.

"Wait a minute," Michael said and took out his cellphone. "Let's take a photo first," he continued, smiling broadly.

Sarah smiled at that.

The two of them then started taking some selfies, not forgetting they took the writing that was still in the sky, and Sarah happily raised her hand to show a very pretty looking ring on her ring finger.

The two of them immediately checked the results of the photo, and smiled with satisfaction when they saw it. They both look very happy in the photo.

***

Apart from the happy couples, there were other people who were also happy when he just received a message from Michael.

"Finally I can go home!" said the man who was in his late thirties with a relieved smile on his face.

He was glad his boss' proposal was successful. Now it's time for him to go home and meet his wife who is waiting for him at home.
