Red represents = True Love, Respect, Courage

That evening, was just like any other. Abu picked Tipah up from her work place, like he religiously does everytime. J

Unexpectedly, Abu whipped out a brown paper bag & presented it to Tipah with a huge smirk! A shiny wrapper stood out over the top & Tipah saw a hint of red.

What she saw, took her breathe away. 3 stalks of roses, nicely wrapped, stood erected. Never has anyone ever presented her with roses. It was just something about roses that made Tipah weak in the knees. Though to others, roses are cliché, but it represented the sincerity of his love.
Taking the very best care of those roses, trying to keep em alive for as long as she could, was the best way she knows how to show her appreciation to Abu. His love, his compassion & perseverance to win over Tipah, was simply astounding.

Day in & day out, she watered the roses. Taking care of it till it wilts helplessly.

(the wilted roses)

Though wilted & hardened, Tipah still kept the roses in the vase. Placing it on the shelf, making it the first thing she sees every morning. Unlike many others who would just toss it out the trash, the wilt roses represented something else to her. The hardened roses signify the strength of their relationship. Things do not always have to be peachy. It’s the strength that keeps their relationship alive.

It’s been a year since she kept the 3 wilted roses. & she still has it. In the glass vase… on her shelf. Sweet, ain’t it?? J

(that's them.. hehe :))
