The Stalker And The Cold Maid
A lady is working at night in Downtown as a part time-nurse in a hospital and in the morning she teaches Math in high school in a district called Lynchburg. She rents an apartment only about five hundred yards away from the school and one mile heading to the hospital.
Every month, this lady receives a letter from an old friend living in a different state. They were closed high school friends until they finished college.
One night while on her way to work to the hospital, she felt somebody is following her. She stopped for a while, touched her shoes and looked back. Nobody was behind her. She continued walking until she reached the hospital.
The following night, she was walking in a dark alley on her way to the hospital. Someone was following her and walked faster. She crossed and walked on the bright side of the road, perpendicular to the dark alley. She saw a portalet, hid behind it and looked for the stalker following her. She saw a big man wearing a white coat, but she can't clearly see the man's face. The man looked around as if the man was looking for someone. The man turned around and went back to the dark alley.
On the third night, while the lady was walking on the bright side of the road, she saw a man sleeping on a bench. The weather that night was cold. Before she went inside the hospital where she works, she removed her coat and wrapped it to the man sleeping on the bench.
On the fourth night on her way to work, somebody grabbed her shoulder bag and she screamed. The robber disappeared. She still proceeded to the hospital for work.
On the fifth night, she didn't go to work for what happened the previous night. While resting inside her apartment around nine o'clock, somebody was knocking at her apartment's door. She opened the door. A policeman asked her if she is the one on the ID by the name of "Wella." She said, "Yes, I am." The policeman said that her lost shoulder bag was recovered. "A good gentleman caught the robber who stole your bag the other night." And the policeman left.
Wella opened her bag and everything is complete. She saw a piece of paper with a note that reads, "Please meet me tomorrow night for a dinner at this place... if you don't mind? I will be wearing a white coat holding white flowers. Hope to see you tomorrow night! Mal'akh". Wella smiled.
Wella went to the said restaurant wearing a pink dress and sat down. A man wearing a white coat with flowers on hand entered the restaurant. She looked down facing her table. The man with the white coat stood behind her seat and said, "Good evening Miss! I am looking for my girlfriend. Have you seen a girl with a pink dress?"
Wella responded, "I haven't seen any girl inside this restaurant with a pink dress except myself." A group of girls inside the restaurant approached the man and said that the man's girlfriend was waiting in the other table behind the counter. And so the man left Wella's table.
Another man with a white coat entered the restaurant. Wella was smiling while the man was closing in at her table. The man passed her by and she pouted.
Wella was approached by a waiter and asked for an apology because Wella has a special seat and table reserved for her by a certain "Mal'akh". She moved to the said table then went to the restroom for a while.
Wella returned to the table and saw a big birthday cake on it and a petite black box with a note, "I still love you. Will you marry me? -- Mal'akh"
Wella never met or knew anyone by the name of "Mal'akh" before. After a minute reading the note, the man wearing a white coat with white flowers on hand appeared. Wella hugged the man and cried.
The man in white coat that Wella hugged was her long time friend and boyfriend in high school and college. They didn't see each other after eighteen years. Mal'akh was converted to a different religion, changing his real first name since birth to a different angelic epithet.
Wella and Mal'akh were married soon after their most recent meeting.
