Niku stirred awake, her heart fluttering with the promise of the day. Her birthday had arrived, and she felt a sense of excitement buzzing in the air. As she reached for her phone, a message notification caught her eye. It was from Prince, the one who captured her heart despite the miles that lay between them. "Happy Birthday, my dearest Niku. Distance may separate us, but my love is always with you," the message read. Her heart skipped a beat, feeling his presence through words alone.
Prince, having traveled through the night, stood at Niku's doorstep, a bouquet of her favorite lilies in hand. His heart pounded with anticipation as he knocked gently. Niku, oblivious to the grand surprise waiting outside, opened the door. Her eyes widened, and a gasp escaped her lips. "Prince! You're here!" she exclaimed, her voice a melody of disbelief and joy.
Niku leapt into Prince's arms, the world around them fading into a blissful blur. They stood there, wrapped in each other's embrace, relishing the moment that seemed to defy time and space. "I wouldn't miss your birthday for the world," he whispered, his voice tender and reassuring.
Seated at a table for two, Niku and Prince shared a meal that was as delightful as their conversation. The restaurant, with its cozy decor and soft music, was the perfect backdrop for their laughter and stories. "Remember the time we got lost in the city and discovered that hidden café?" Niku recalled, her eyes sparkling. "How could I forget? It's moments like those that make every mile worth it," he replied, his smile mirroring hers.
Niku closed her eyes, making a silent wish as the soft light of the candles danced around them. She blew them out, feeling the warmth of Prince's gaze upon her. "What did you wish for?" he asked playfully. "If I tell, it might not come true," she teased, though in her heart, she already felt her wish had been granted.
As they strolled back, the cool night air wrapped around them like a gentle embrace. Niku looked up at the starry sky, her heart full. "Thank you for making this birthday unforgettable," she said, squeezing Prince's hand. "For you, I'd cross any distance," he replied, his voice a promise. They walked on, knowing that love, true and unwavering, would always light their way, no matter the miles that lay between them.
