You and Gabriel have always been together since childhood. He liked you and so did you. You lived in a small village, there weren't many people in the village but you spent a lot of time with Gabriel. You grew up together and spent every second of your lives together.

When Gabriel reached legal age, he was required to attend army training and become a soldier. He promised that he would come back soon and propose to you. You waited for him patiently, sometimes you were sad but you spent your time with something you used to do. You waited for years and he never came back, but you still waited for him. Many men have proposed to you but you rejected them all. The village is now filled with many people because of the times.

Until one day, someone came looking for you, it was Gabriel. You ran and saw him still in his army uniform. Your eyes widened when you saw him, tears falling down your cheeks. He was blind in one eye because his face was burnt and his legs were limping, his uniform was covered in blood stains. He walked towards you holding a bouquet of flowers and he tried to kneel down. "I told you, I will keep my promise. will you marry me, darling?" he smiles and waits for your answer.
