" Harold , what you think ? "
" It's very beautiful ring John , I'm sure she'll love it "
" but do you think she'll say yes ? "
how could she not ! " you know her better than I do Mr. Reese "
Chuckling " yah , but I'm nervous about this "
you don't have to " i wish you Good luck Mr. Reese "
" Harold , will you do me a favor ? "
anything " of course "
" Can you be Iris for a minute "
No, please " a-alright "
getting down on one knee and holding the ring box in front of Harold .
" Iris , the moment I saw you , I knew you are the woman who I want to spend my life with . you made me feel alive again , I love you . Will you mar- Harold ? "
it hurts " I'm s-sorry Mr. Reese , I'm just happy for you "
Forgive me John .
"Harold ...please don't cry for me , even if they were happy tears "
they aren't " alright , now go ahead and ask your woman to marry you "
" no more tears , alright ? "
please don't make me lie again " Be happy John "
" Thank you Harold , see you later "
please don't leave " Bye John "
Once John left , Harold immediately covered his face with his hands and wept . he sobbed harder and harder , until each sob bursts out of his mouth as a scream .
He needed someone to talk to , he is a human after all , he needed someone to comfort him and who is better than .... His dearest old friend
" Hello , can you see me ? "
" YES "
