It was Valentine’s Day, and Mikha woke up earlier than usual, a little nervous but excited. She had been planning something simple but meaningful for her girlfriend. Before they met, Mikha went to a small flower shop and chose her girlfriend’s favorite flowers. Instead of a big fancy bouquet, she picked a small one and tied it with a ribbon herself. She also prepared a handwritten letter — not perfect, a bit messy, but full of her real feelings.

That afternoon, they agreed to meet at their usual spot — the place where they often hang out together. When her girlfriend arrived, Mikha was already there, sitting on the bench with a small paper bag beside her. “Happy Valentine’s,” Mikha said shyly, handing over the flowers and the letter. Inside the bag were her girlfriend’s favorite snacks, a printed photo of them together, and a simple bracelet.

They didn’t go to an expensive restaurant. Instead, they walked around, shared street food, laughed about random things, and took pictures together. Before going home, Mikha held her hand and said, “Hindi man grand, but I just want you to know you’re really special to me. Thank you for staying bebu, i love you so much more than you know."
