One day Katie left her house for a restaurant. She was in a hurry to reach there. She had to walk all the way because she didn't have a car and there was no cab on the street. And so she didn't look anywhere but her path and walked quickly.
Suddenly an old man came to her path and she knocked down him. He was holding a bouquet of daisies. Consequently the flowers scattered in the mud. Katie tried to help the old man to get the bouquet back and all the flowers picked up. But she was in a hurry and said sorry to the old man that her boyfriend didn't like it when she was late.
Then she remembered the last date. She was late and when she reached there got her boyfriend furious. She told him that she fainted and the ambulance picked her up. He said in a cold voice that he would not miss a workout at the gym because of her. He was so angry that if it wasn't restaurant, he must beat her as a punishment.
The present day the old man picked up the bouquet by himself. Katie was about to leave and that time saw the old man crying. She was shocked and he said that he was not in a hurry anymore because nobody had been waiting for him for the last 10 years.
He said that when he was a younger person, he was in the military. All over his life he was in the military and never thought anything except the country. Love never came to his life. But one day he was seriously injured. After that, he had no longer saw any reason to live.
But one meeting changed everything. The man was admitted into a hospital for his leg injury. There a nurse came to him and said that her name was Elizabeth. She said that she had come to put a bandage on his wound that day. And that girl made him smile.
She was the only girl who was wearing a dress with daisies. It was his favorite flower too and so the girl's. And she thought the girl was like a blooming daisy.
After the accident, the young military's hands were shaking. And so he couldn't take the normal tea by himself. Everyday, Elizabeth made him chamomile tea for him. Every afternoon they sat in the garden. He drank tea and she read books aloud to him.
And that was how they two got engaged. The old man said that he was looking forward to the day he could give her a bouquet of daisies, a flower she loved so much. But the doctor's diagnosis ruined all his plans.
One day Elizabeth and he was sitting in the cabin and the doctor came to him. He said to him that his injuries were so serious that he would never walk again. This made him broken. When the doctor left, he could not hold back his emotions and tears showed up.
He told Elizabeth that he didn't want to be a burden to her. He suggested him to find a healthy guy and drove backward his wheelchairs. He was sure that she would leave. But she came to him and took his hands. She said that she knew about his diagnosis from the very first day. And promised him that she would not leave him.
Soon the former military gave her a bouquet of daisies with a ring in it. She was looking the prettiest bride in that white dress. And they got married. On that day, Elizabeth told him that she believed that he would walk and also said that she was ready to wait for that day as long as it took.
And after the wedding, every day she taught him to walk again. He first tried to move his legs and then walked with the stretchers. After several years of trying, a miracle happened. Elizabeth was cooking and the man went to him. He hold her hands and said that her love and care healed him. Yes, he could walk again.
The old man told Katie that every birthday, he had given her a bouquet of daisies. He was still crying and said that but for 10 years then, he had been carrying flowers to her grave. The old man finished his story holding the dirty bouquet to his chest and left.
Katie was so shocked and surprised. It made her think about her and her boyfriend. She looked back and watched the man go. She realized that he relationship had never been like this. Her boyfriend never cared about her. And then her phone rang.
It was he. He asked her how long he should wait for her. Katie was so confident and said that she would not come to him. She continued saying that their dates were just unimportant meetings for him and she was fed up with it. They met between his work and gym. She told him that she needed a man who knew how to wait and truly loved her.
And she ended the call as well as her relationship...
