Valentine's Day


A nice story...

          One fine day 'Franco Leone‘ found an envelope in her house mail box. The envelope had a nice rose attached to it. It’s been ages that there is some letter present in the mail box ever since her father went to Australia on business visit. Leone’s family was one of the richest families in “Patrica”. She got surprised to have her name written on the envelope with red ink. She went to her bedroom, unfolded the letter from envelop.

          Ms. Leone, good day...
          A day    = 24 hrs !
                       = 1440 mns!
                       = 86400 secs !
          Huh...not an easy one to remember. I have an alternative equation which is much simpler.
          A day = 1 smile of Ms. Leone.
          Believe me, I don't call it a day without your smile.

           If you agree for my equation, just write your reply in the empty paper which I kept in same envelope, and keep it in the same mail box. Though Leone doesn't agree for the equation, she just wanted to know who he was. She wrote 'Who are you?', and kept the reply letter back in the mail box. She was very curious to see who comes and picks the letter. Though she was busy in preparing for her board examinations, she kept an eye on the mail box from her balcony. No one came and collected the letter till evening.  In the night time, she went and checked the mail box, to her wonder, the letter was not there.


         The next day also mail box has same kind of envelop with a rose attached to it. Though she was not very surprised this time, but was very eager to open the envelope. She rushed to her bedroom and opened it by detaching the rose from the envelope.

          Ms. Leone, good day...
                         Thanks for your interest on trying to find who I am. I will surely let you know soon. I am very excited to tell you about an article in today's newspaper. By the way, did you check today's news paper? It had published list of marriages that are going to happen in the next 10 yrs. Believe me! It’s true, marriages are certainly made in heaven. It seems like there is no security for confidential information in heaven. Somehow, this information leaked to media and they have published it in the main paper itself. I didn't believe this list till I found my name next to my sweet heart's name. Needless to say name, Franco Leone. What an amazing truth!

     She grinned at the guy's insane idea of expressing his love to her.
 As expected the last line of the letter is, please write your reply in the empty paper which I kept in the same envelop, keep it in the same mail box.
As usual, she wrote 'Who are you?
Though she didn't believe what was said about newspaper’s article, she glanced at newspaper and confirmed that there is no such news. Unfortunately, she could not find who comes and collects the letter.
       The letters with nice poetry on her beauty and guy’s love towards her continued daily. In return he would promptly get a reply letter containing the same three words 'Who are you?' Leone started liking his letters but never expressed her interest.
         Few months later, on Feb 14, Leone was eagerly waiting for the letter to appear in the mailbox. To her surprise, mail box was empty for the whole day. She couldn't understand the guy's strategy behind this. How could a guy who expressed his love to her on every day, could keep silent on 'Valentine's day'? She blamed herself for being rude on her reply letters to the guy.
     Next day morning, a letter with bunch of roses present in her mail box. She was very happy to see the letter.
        Ms. Leone …
        Yesterday, I could see people around me were overwhelmed to express love to their sweethearts. People were busy in buying greeting cards, gifts and bouquets. They had asked me for my suggestion to make special bouquet and letters to impress. Whole day, I was very busy and was happy to help them. On the other hand, should love be expressed only on one day that too on an auspicious day called 'Valentine's day'? Yesterday, I have seen the excitement in people that I daily have and I am sure it will never descend.
   Here is the answer for your question, in the next page...
   My name is 'Alberto Torresi ', and yes, I am a rose seller.

Leone's reply...
I did see answer in the other page. Whoever you are, ‘I love you'. Let's meet today evening in Cafe Pascucci.
