Short story
The single rose on the headboard was a sign as clear as day. Grandfa's late wife was leading him on to a second life-with a second love.
My granfa's died three days after his 91st birthday. His always said he was "the Lord's favorite" because he planned his life so well. His marital union with his second wife was beautiful story he loved to relate. It was a story that proves there is life after death, and that love can make miracles happen.
Granfa's and his wife were childhood sweethearts who were so much inlove with each other. When they finally tied the knot in 1940 everybody thought it was a marrieage made in heaven. Both came from rich families. He has the manager of the family bank while she had a teacher's diploma and thaught in the city's exclusive catholic school. His ex-wife was also romantic and sentimental,"granfa lovingly related.
"She used to tell me that if she went first, she'd like me to marry again-to a woman, she said, who would love me the way she did. It was'nt right for a man to live alone or so she would try to convince me."In 1944, before the out break of the second war, granfa went to davao a province to open a branch of their family bank.
he needed a full time staff to help him run the branch, so he ran an advertisement for a secretary among other personel. I had just finished interviewing the last of the applicants and was about to call it a day when this young woman -she looked like she was 21 or 22 came in and told me she is applying for the secretarial position.
Upon seeing her, I was literally taken a back. She looked like aparition fo my ex-wife granfa related. It was a love at first sight for me for the second time around. I felt the same kind of love that I had for my late wife. And so he did not think twice about hiring Maria Teresa. Soon enough Maria Teresa also felt for granfa.
He wanted to propose marriage, but he could not do so unless he was sure his ex-wife approved of her.Granfa's enlightenment came one night, when his ex-wife appeared in his dream. In the dream he saw her standing at the foot of his bed, smilling sweetly holding a bunch of red roses.Granfa wokeup light headed remembering the dream he had that night. Noticing the gentle cloying scent of roses that pervaded in the room he rose from his bed and looked around for the source of the fragrance.
He knew the the sign he was asking for had finally come.The same day, granfa proposed marriage to Maria Teresa, the only other woman that he would love for the rest of his life.
