The most special day of the year for Fanny has finally arrived – her 10th year anniversary with Will.

“What more do all wives around the world want from their husbands other than love?” This was the question that was lingering in Fanny’s mind as she drove home from work. It was four o’clock in the evening, and Fanny hadn’t seen a single SMS from her husband, Will, in regards to this lovely day.

“I’m gonna kill him tonight…” Fanny thought to herself.

As she unloaded her purse and files from the car, she wondered if Will was home from work yet.

“I guess he isn’t; what lousy guy,” Fanny thought, as she walked right to her doorstep.

When she opened the door of her home, she was stunned. She saw the balloons; dozens and probably hundreds of helium balloons, floating around the living room ceilings and spreading through the dining room ceilings.

Most of the balloons were circular and were different colours, except for the one balloon floating right above the candles on the dining table. It was love-shaped and white in colour. At the bottom of the string were two envelopes attached: envelope one and envelope two.

Envelope one said, “Open me first!” And it read: “Go to the living room, and then switch on the Hi-Fi and press the “play” button on it; and then sit down on the couch and read envelope number two.”

Laughing and thrilled, Fanny did what it said and then pressed “play” on the Hi-Fi player. She was welcomed with “Always Be My Baby” by ‘David Cook’.

As the song serenaded her, Fanny smiled as the song brought wonderful memories of her and Will when they were dating. And then she opened envelope number two. It read:

“Congratulations! You have just won a dream date with a really romantic guy who loves you to pieces! Now, follow these instructions very carefully:

1) Take a long and nice bubble bath. Close your eyes and imagine how exciting it used to be when you were getting ready for your first date in high school.

2) Get dressed for a casual night out. You have to put on your best outfit for tonight; and remember, you can’t wear slippers or thongs! Must wear shoes! As you dressed, play the rest of the songs to get you in the mood.

3) Please catch a cab and leave the house by 6.30 pm, and head down to Esplanade Drive, right in front of the Esplanade Theatre. Proceed to the main entrance, and look for a suave and cool-looking guy with love in his eyes.

Remember; do not be late; because that guy doesn’t like to wait for a long time… But whatever it is, you’re in store for a wonderful and romantic evening. Now get going!

Yours Lovingly,

Will”

Fanny was overjoyed! She couldn’t wait for what was in store for her. She ran a hot bubble bath; used her best aroma therapy from ‘Body Shop’; and soaked in it until she felt completely relaxed and pampered.

In her wardrobe, she found a sleeveless white ‘Versace’ dress that she hasn’t worn for a long time; she was saving it for something really special. “This could be it,” she thought to herself. She added a ‘Levis‘ Jeans, a sweater, and her secretly-bought ‘Jimmy Choo’ Shoes. To top it off, she used a ‘Chanel No 5’ perfume and her best earrings and necklace.

“Wow… I look like an actress ready to walk on the red carpet,” she giggled to herself.

Half an hour later, Fanny was at the main entrance of the theatre. As she searched for Will, she felt butterflies in her stomach. She was really nervous and excited too; it was as if she was really looking for her blind date whom she never met before.

Suddenly, her heart was thumped; she saw Will, smiling as he walked towards her. “Oh My God… He looks so attractive,” she thought to herself. He was wearing a black ‘Lacoste’ Polo T-shirt, with jeans and sneakers; he looked just like he did when the two went for the very first date 15 years ago. He even spiked his hair!

“Hey Baby,” Will said, “You wanna hit the town with me tonight?”

“Yes…” giggled Fanny.

“How are you today baby? You look so beautiful tonight.” Will said

Fanny blushed. “Why am I blushing? This is my own husband!” She thought to herself.

“I’m good honey,” she smiled, “where are going?” She asked.

“Just come with me,” Will replied with a wide smile.

First, he took her to a ‘Peranakan’ Restaurant to eat the famous ‘fish curry’, which was her favourite, along with other ‘Peranakan’ foods. After that, they went in to Will’s car and headed to the cinema to watch a romantic comedy movie, “New York I Love You”.

As they were travelling, Will put a mixed-CD of their favourite romantic songs in the player to get the mood going.

At the end of the movie, Will asked Fanny, “Are you sleepy yet?”

“Of course not,” Fanny smiled.

Blatantly, Will took Fanny to ‘Pasir Ris Park’ to enjoy a late night drink at an alfresco pub located within the beach; while they were drinking, they saw the moon and stars right above in the sky, and heard the sound of the waves splashing as it brought gentle sea breeze to the night.

“It’s beautiful,” Fanny said.

“It is,” Will replied, “But you’re more beautiful than those things,” Will smiled. Fanny Blushed again.

“You know, you blushed a lot today,” giggled Will.

“I don’t know why,” Fanny replied as she tried to hide her blushes by covering her cheeks.

After that, instead of driving home, Will turned to the Expressway instead.

“Where are we going?” Fanny looked confused.

“You’ll see,” Will smiled slyly.

And then Fanny realized; he was taking her to ‘Mount Faber’.

At the top of the mountain, he found a perfect spot on a ridge to view the city’s skylights. As he turned on the player, he unwound the windows of the car and turned up the volume of the music player so that they could listen to it better.

“Let’s go,” Will said to her.

As they got off from the car, Will held Fanny’s hand and brought her to the edge of the guardrail, enjoying the soothing wind breeze of the night. And then, Will turned to Fanny and ran his fingers through her long and silky hair before embracing her left cheek gently.

“Fanny, you are the love of my life and the reason why I keep living,” Will said as the song “So Close” by ‘Jon Mclaughlin’ serenaded the couple.

“You’re irreplaceable, and I will love you until my last breath.” Will continued as he looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

“You’re irreplaceable to me too,” Fanny replied.

“And I’ll never stop loving you... forever,” she added as she threw her hands around his neck and kissed him passionately, before she fell into his waiting arms.
