«Take care of the drunk, maybe he’ll marry you!» — shouted the head nurse. But no one could have imagined WHAT would happen in a minute…
Marina felt her fingers got cold, but warmth spilled inside. He came. He did not forget.
Daniel took a step forward, his dark eyes looked straight into her soul. Marina, he pronounced in a low, slightly hoarse voice. She held her breath.
«You returned?» Her voice trembled. He smiled. «Yes, and hope forever».
And before she managed to understand what is happening, he knelt down on one knee. The corridor held its breath. Marina covered her lips with her palm, her heart pounded loudly in her ears…
Daniel took out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it. On the soft velvet lay an elegant ring with a thin platinum rim and a shining stone. He looked at her firmly and confidently.
«I thought long, Marina. But understood one thing, I don’t want life without you». She froze.
«You saved me, you changed me, you taught me to see the world differently». He deeply inhaled, and his voice suddenly became softer. «Become my wife!» Someone shouted.
Someone gasped. And then? The corridor exploded with applause. The nurses who teased her all these months, now openly wiped their eyes, wiping teary faces.
Even the orderlies, who were usually indifferent, smiled. Doctors nodded to each other, and even Tamara Williams could not hide the suddenly surged emotions. She hastily turned away, but Marina managed to notice the shine in her eyes.
But all this was somewhere in the background. Because the only thing that mattered now is he. His eyes — full of hope.
His warm hand, extended to her. His words, from which inside everything contracted from emotions. Marina deeply inhaled, and her lips trembled in a smile.
Yes. The corridor exploded with applause again. Someone even clapped louder, and someone shouted.
Bitter. Marina burst into laughter, and Daniel, rising, cautiously put the ring on her finger. She looked at him, at his sincere, full of relief smile, and felt that now is the most important moment in her life…
«Thank you», — he whispered, pressing her to himself. And at this moment Marina understood finally. All this was not accidental.
Their meeting was not just a coincidence. He was her destiny. Marina could not even imagine that her life would turn exactly this way.
She came to the hospital to just do her work, help people and be useful. But fate disposed otherwise, giving her a meeting that changed everything.
And what do you think, did Marina deserve her happiness? How would you act in her place? And could you imagine that a random meeting can lead to something so important?
