"Just this once, okay?" she pleaded. She had been begging me to buy her those white roses that were on sale. I just shrugged it off saying that it was not necessary. Even when we had been going out for a while, I never bought her flowers. Not once. I thought it was just a mere cliche act.

There was this other time where I forgot her birthday. My best friend, V, called me the next day saying that she waited all night for me to call her. But I was too busy with my work that night. V told me to apologize to her and I barely agreed. Well, to him. At that time, I was too engulfed in my pride, my ego and my selfishness.
