A Slip Of Surprise

 | 


I have this irresistible urge to clean and tidy things when I see items strewn across tables, scattered in little piles of mess.

This urge of mine somehow seems to manifest itself and springs in action every time I enter dear's room. So yesterday as I was tidying up dear's desk and putting back items where they should belong, I stumbled upon a 50 dollar bill while opening his desk drawer.

Puzzled as to why he keeps money lying around, I picked up the money and just as I was doing so, a note sprung up from beneath the money and revealed itself.

Seeing that it was the note was scrunched up with words written on it, I unfolded it.

To my surprise, it wrote "SURPRISE! FOR YOU DEAR!"
Stumped at this mini surprise, I started thinking of questions like "When did he write this? Was it really meant for me? What happened if I didn't open his drawer? Does that mean I wouldn't have found out?"

Cheekily, I dangled the note in front of him and asked what is this about.

Immediately, he replied in what seems like a little shock mixed with a wide grin "Oh! You found it!"

I asked if he meant it to be a reward for cleaning his room all these while, and the possibility of me never finding this 50 dollar bill if I haven't opened his drawer.

He replied "Aiya! While you were having dinner, I wanted to put it in your bag but you ate so fast and came in while I was writing the note, so I quickly scrunched it up and hid it in my drawer." (Explains: He usually eats so fast, leaving me alone on the dinner table to finish my dinner by myself.)

Ha ha :D What a funny way to throw me off guard and tickle my funny bone. And if you were still wondering what the money was for, it was for all the dinner/lunches that I bought for our meals.

.. And I thought that the money was a reward for cleaning his room. If it ever was so, I would be hoping for pockets of money for me to uncover while sweeping the floor or wiping the drawers in his room.. just like a treasure hunt. Hehehe! :)
