玫瑰之约Roses for Rose

佚名/Anonyo

Red roses were her favorites, her na was also Rose.And every year her hbahe, tied with pretty bows.The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door.The card said,“Be y Valente,”like all the years before.

Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say,“I love you evehis year, than st year on this day.”“My love for you will always grow, with every passg year.”She khis was the st ti that the roses would appear.

She thought, he ordered rosesadvance before this day.Her lovg hband did not know, that he would pass away.He always liked to do thgs early, way before the ti.Then, if he got too by, everythg would work out fe.

She trid the stes, and pced thea very special vase.Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his silg face.She would sit for hours,her hband’s favorite chair.While starg at his picture, and the roses sittg there.

A year went by, and it was hard to live without her ate.With loneless and solitude, that had bee her fate.Then, the very hour, as on Valentes before, the doorbell rang, and there were roses, sittg by her door.

She brought the roses , and then jt looked at theshoh pa?

“I know your hband passed away, ore than a year ago,”The owner said,“I knew you’d call, and you would want to know.The flowers you received today, were paid foradvance.Your hband alnned ahead, he left nothg to ce.

“There is a standg order, that I have on file down here, And he has paid, welladvance, you’ll get the every year.There also is ahg, that I thk you should know, he wrote a special little card...he did this years ago.

“Then, should ever, I fd out that he’s no longer here, that’s the card...that should be sent, to you the follog year.”

She thanked hi and hung up the phone, her tears now flog hard.Her fgers shakg, as she slowly reached to get the card.

Ihe card, she saw that he had written her a hen, as she staredtotal silehis is what he wrote?“Hello, y love, I know it’s been a year sce I’ve been gone, I hope it hasn’t been too hard for you to overe.

“I know it t be lonely, and the pa is very real.For if it was the other way, I knoould feel.The love we shared ade everythg so beautifullife.I loved you ore than wordssay, you were the perfect wife.

“You were y friend and lover, you fulfilled y every need.I know it’s only been a year, but please try not to grieve.I want you to be happy, even when you shed your tears.That is why the roses will be sent to you for years.

“When you get these roses, thk of all the happess, that we had together, and how both ofwere blessed.I have always loved you and I know I always will.But, y love, you t go on, you have so livg still.

“Please?try to fd happess, while livg out your days.I know it is not easy, but I hope you fd so ways.The roses will e every year, and they will only s, when your door’s not answered, when the florist ss to knock.

“He will e five tis that day,case you have go.But after his st visit, he will know without a doubt, to take the roses to the pce, where I’ve structed hi, and pce the roses where we are, together once aga.”

红玫瑰是她的最爱，她的名字叫罗丝，也是“玫瑰”的意思。每年情人节，丈夫都要送她用漂亮的丝带扎好的玫瑰花。丈夫去世的那年，她依然收到了玫瑰花，卡片像往年一样写着：“献给我的爱人！”

每年，丈夫送她花时，都要写下这样一些话：“我爱你，今朝更胜往昔。”“时光流转，我对你的爱历久弥新。”她知道，这是她最后一次收到丈夫的玫瑰花了。

她想，玫瑰花一定是他提前预订的。她亲爱的丈夫并不知道，自己将会死去。他总喜欢提前把一些事情安排妥当，这样，即使再忙，他也可以从容应对，处理好一切。

她修剪好枝叶，将花插到一个别致的花瓶里。然后，把花瓶放到面带微笑的丈夫的遗像旁。她会坐在丈夫最喜欢的椅子里，一坐就是几个小时，伴着玫瑰花，凝神地望着他的照片。

一年过去了，没有丈夫的日子十分难捱。在孤独与寂寞中，她又迎来另一个情人节。情人节前夕，一如即往，家里门铃响了，有人送来一束玫瑰花，放在了门口。

她把玫瑰花拿进屋，吃惊地看着它们。然后走到电话旁，拨通了花店的电话，是店主接的，她要他解释为什么还有人送花给她，徒增她的悲伤。

“我知道您的丈夫一年前就过世了，”店主说，“我也知道您会打电话来问究竟的。您今天收到的花，也是他提前付过款的。您丈夫总是提前准备好一切，以求万无一失。”

“他预付了花款，委托我们每年给您送花。还有一件事，我想您应该了解。几年前他就写好了一张特别的小卡片。”
