"Tahir's Birthday Stories"
(Author's Notes: Faizal Tahir's recent song, 'Sejati' (True) was becoming popular among most Malaysians and he has becoming October's best celebrity! And, coincidentally, he was born on Thursday, 26 October 1978 (same year as Garfield)! Fortunately, Halloween were just coming exactly 5 days after his birthday and he has turned 38, this year! So, to celebrate his birthday, I'll write this special story which explains about Jon x Liz's love story from his 'Point Of View'!).
(Official Song Track: 'Sejati' by Faizal Tahir, also the OST of TV3 Malaysia's drama, 'Jasmine'!).
-CHAPTER 1: "Happiness In Difficulties"-
(8:00 PM. Monday, 24 October 2016):
It was a windy night at Vito's Pizzeria, as the newly engaged couple, Jon and Liz, with Garfield who just have released from prison last month (16 September, the same day that Jon and Liz were engaged), were discussing about their wedding and their future while waiting for pizza...
"Liz, it's good that we've been engaged now! We'll face our future together!" said Jon.
"That's so sweet, Jon! And do you have some romantic questions to ask?" replied Liz.
"If you're really loving me, I want to ask you... Are you willing to marry me?" asks Jon.
Suddenly, Liz starts to cry, as if it touched her heart... Feeling worried, Jon asks her.
"Why are you crying, my sweet fianceé? Is there something wrong in you?" asks Jon.
"I think we can't be married... Because, my mother have suffered a long coma since last month once she find out that we've been engaged! And before I left the hospital just now, my mother said that if we're agreed to marry this Friday, she'd rather die than accepting you as their new family member! I think she's committing revenge on you for losing her lovely parrot!" replied Liz.
Hearing of what Liz said, Jon becomes angry and furious. Then, he slapped her in the cheek!
"How could you cancel our wedding?! I've been tired from working the entire month to collect money and paying the entire cost for our romantic wedding! But, you've been embarrassing me in front of Garfield and Lyman and also my beloved parents! You sardonic fianceé!" shouts Jon.
"But, please don't leave me alone! I'm still loving you sincerely from my heart, only my mother was still traumatized from our family meeting since 7 years ago which ends with her most beloved parrot missing forever, which was actually been committed by Garfield!" explains Liz.
"And don't meet me again until both of you change your minds... YOU GOT IT?!" continued Jon.
After that, Liz left the pizzeria, crying! Then, Jon looks at Garfield and started scolding him...
"This is your fault, Garfield! If you don't disturb Mrs. Betty's lovely parrot, 7 years ago, she will agree to accept us as their new family! Then, Liz and I will be your family forever!" scolds Jon.
Seconds later, their large pizza (8 courses) has arrived and they eat the pizza together to forget about the problems! Once they have finished eating, Jon pays the bill and they're heading home!
(9:50 PM):
Jon and Garfield have reached home! Then, Jon started crying at his sofa! Lyman comes out of the kitchen and asks him if his date tonight ends with a lot of problems or his date breaks up...
"What's the matter with your date session tonight? Did she break up with you?" asks Lyman.
"Liz are not breaking up with me... Our engagement are going well without any problems at all! But, she suddenly cancels our wedding this Friday! Because, her mother fell into a long coma since last month, once she find out that we've been engaged! And she'd rather die if we're still agreed to marry soon! Then, I think that she's committing her revenge on me for losing her most beloved parrot, 7 years ago, although Garfield was actually involved in this case!" replied Jon.
"Don't be sad anymore, Jon! I'm still single! So, I know your feelings, okay?" continued Lyman.
"Thanks for your motivational advice, Lyman! You're really my best friend forever!" said Jon.
"You're welcome, Jon! Now, go to sleep or you'll be late for work tomorrow!" replied Lyman.
(Meanwhile, at Liz's house):
"Mother, how could you reject Jon? Although he's a cartoonist, but he's a good and faithful man! How could you said that you'd rather die if we're still agreed to marry soon, just because you're still feeling traumatized on the loss of your lovely parrot! Garfield was the main culprit!" said Liz.
Suddenly, her father, Mr. Robert and her only niece, Heather came and asks about her problems!
"Why are you crying, Auntie Liz? Did you fight with Uncle Jon at the café again?" asks Heather.
"No, Heather! But he's feeling upset on me for cancelling our wedding! Then, he slapped me in the cheek and told me to not meet him anymore until I change my mind! It looks like that he's feeling upset! Now, I'm feeling confused and do you have some motivational advice?" replied Liz.
"I have told you to not cancel your wedding first, but you don't hear my advice! Now, Uncle Jon is mad at you... And you have no other choice left, except to meet him at his house tomorrow night and say to him that you're willing to change your mind and ask for apology!" continued Heather.
"Don't be sad anymore, Lizzy! I've faced the same situation before I'm marrying your mother! But, we never feel down or giving up to impress your grandparents! Finally, we lived happily ever after! Well, she hates him for the traumatic loss of his lovely parrot before!" said Mr. Robert.
"Thanks for your motivational advices, Heather! Father! You're my best family!" continued Liz.
"You're welcome, Lizzy! Now, go to sleep or you'll be late for work tomorrow!" replied Mr. Robert.
