Tony stood tall and proud as the breeze blew his bangs. His handsome features were warm and alluring. When he turned slightly to face Myra, he was wearing a refreshing smile that was as stunning as the gods from ancient myths.
“Before we go on our world trip, you have to marry me.” Tony was wearing that look when he stared into Myra’s eyes, which she found irresistible.
They had been engaged for a while, so they had been thinking of marriage. To be more precise, Myra was planning to hold the ceremony after she gave birth to the baby. When she observed her belly, she noticed it was bulging slightly, so she was worried she might not look good in a wedding dress.
Upon noticing her hesitation, Tony arched his brow. Things don’t seem to be progressing as smoothly as expected.
“Tony, I won’t look good in a wedding dress now.” Myra was visibly dejected. If she didn’t get held up by matters pertaining to Stark Group, she wouldn’t mind getting married sooner.
“You definitely will. Myra, you look good in anything.” Tony tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear while soothing her.
It was a breezy day, so their clothes made noises as it flapped in the wind. It cooled them down so much that they had almost forgotten about the heat in Bradfort City. In fact, the weather was just nice. Having waited for a long while, it was finally a cloudy day. Without the blazing sun, the breeze that blew nonstop was a pleasant addition to the scenery before them.
A huge plot of land in the northern suburbs belonged to Hart Group. Tony had been building something over the desolate place, but nobody knew what he was up to. Transportation was an important aspect to the project which had yet to be completed. Nonetheless, he was expecting to announce it to the public by the coming year.
Tony made sure to carefully support Myra when they were walking. If it wasn’t for his desire to show her the grand place, he wouldn’t have dragged her along to a place with such uneven ground. From his point of view, Myra could only step on flat and clean surfaces. However, she wasn’t that delicate, so she didn’t find it disagreeable. On the contrary, having the opportunity to let out some sweat felt cathartic.
As they neared their destination, a triumphant smile gradually surfaced on Tony’s face. I wonder what expression she will make later on. He was eager to witness what was to come. Throughout the day, Tony seemed somewhat adorable. When Myra checked out his profile, he was giggling like a child.
“Stop putting up airs,” Myra said despite her anticipation.
“Do you see that?” Tony pointed at somewhere not far from them. “It’s over there.”
When Myra cast a glance in the direction where he was pointing at, she could see from afar a structure that resembled an amusement park, which piqued her curiosity. Therefore, she picked up her pace in order to take a closer look at the structure.
“Slow down.” Tony was following behind her with a worried expression.
Soon enough, they got to where Tony was talking about. Myra was so surprised by the scenery before her that she could hardly believe her own eyes. It was as if they had entered a dreamland. While grasping Tony’s arm, she was elated. “How did you even think of creating such a beautiful dreamland?”
“Because you were the one who gave me the inspiration to do so.” Tony held Myra’s hand in a tight grip. “Let’s check out the place. You might recall something.” The knowing smile that Tony wore seemed to be a hint.
A huge manor was erected near a mountain by a river. It was named Tomyrra Wonderland, which was a combination of Tony and Myra’s name. It was a dreamy place. While it might not be a literal kingdom, the small amusement park was fully furnished and equipped with the necessary facilities.
Tomyrra Wonderland satisfied Myra’s dream of being a princess. It mimicked the setup of a fairytale kingdom where princes and princesses lived. Even the design of the gates looked fantastical.
Although pink was chosen as the base color of the entire amusement park, it wasn’t tacky at all. Instead, the combination of pink and a refreshing touch of blue gave the place a dreamy quality. Since the place was set to be an amusement park, a myriad of other colors were also utilized. Therefore, the place was bursting with colors that went well with each other, not at all looking gaudy.
The deeper they ventured, the more familiar the place felt. Myra began to wonder if she had seen this place somewhere, or perhaps in a dream. While wearing a faint smile, she wondered if Tony had perhaps designed the place himself.
“Do you like it?” When Tony posed the question, even his firm features softened.
“Yeah. I have a feeling that I’ve seen it somewhere before.” Not only was the place familiar, but she might even have doodled it on paper.
Without a word, Tony wore a smile while looking at Myra. All of a sudden, she was seized by a memory, which prompted her to stare at Tony in disbelief. So this is how it is, she thought. “Tony, did you design the place according to my scattered manuscripts?” Agitated, her voice didn’t sound as cool as it usually was.
She used to be a designer, so she would spend her free time working on blueprints. Once, she recalled a dream about a wonderland that she had as a kid, in which she spent a memorable time. Thus, she created a blueprint based on that dream of hers. When Tony found out about the blueprint, she told him about that dream she had as a child, since it wasn’t a big deal.
Tony was very supportive of the idea, and encouraged her to finish the blueprints by filling in all the details. Back then, she didn’t even realize he already made up his mind to build the amusement park.
When she thought about how hard Tony must have tried to hide the construction from her, as well as all the hard work that he must have put in while recreating the stuff of her dreams in the real world, she couldn’t contain herself.
It was the best gift that she had ever received. While looking at Tony, she bit on her bottom lip to stop herself from bursting into tears. Ever since he came into her life, he seemed to be capable of bringing her one surprise after the other. Relishing in the sound of his heartbeat and his scent after embracing him, Myra realized she was smitten by him. “Tony, I will cry if you do this.” Her voice was trembling.
Tony patted her back. “You’re such a crybaby. The fact that you like it is the most magnificent reward for my efforts.” He held her tightly. For the longest while, he had been thinking of creating something that could commemorate their love.
“You sound so formal. How long have you been working on this?” Myra recalled that he had spent most of his time keeping her company in Bradfort City, so she had no idea how he managed to find time to work on the amusement park.
“It has been a while since construction began, and it’s not finished yet, but I wanted to show it to you during Valentine’s Day.” Tony couldn’t recall how long he had spent working on the project, but he figured it was all worth it as long as Myra was happy about it.
“Will the park be open to the public by next year?” Myra asked curiously.
“Yeah, but we will play with all of the facilities in it before that.” He wore a genuine smile, his every move mesmerizing.
By that point, Myra already left his arms. She had a satisfied smile on her face, content with the surprise. “So, Director Tony Hart built an amusement park from scratch for my sake.” She opened her arms casually.
It was a sight for sore eyes. Without a trace, Tony took out his phone to snap a photo of Myra when she was in such a casual state. Upon hearing the noise, she walked up to him with a stern look on her face. “Hey, why did you snap a photo of me?” She was a little embarrassed.
“You looked good, so I figured I should record it.” Tony shook the phone in his hand as he spoke. With a witty smile, Myra took out her phone to snap a few shots of him before he could react, so he didn’t get to avoid it.
“Myra…” Tony wasn’t expecting her to do that. She sure is getting cleverer.
“You look good too.” Letting out a chuckle, she opened the photo gallery to check on the photos. She took the photos so quickly that she didn’t even get to see how they looked. Tony also scooted closer. It turned out that he was the type who looked good no matter what pose he struck. Even in the photos that Myra took casually, he still was as handsome as ever. “Tony, you sure are an attractive man.” Myra seemed lovesick.
“From my point of view, you’re the most attractive of them all.” He said so while staring at her. It was his sincere opinion. No matter how pretty other people looked, they could never compare to Myra.
“Hmph!” Myra huffed, partially because of shyness, before walking forward. After all, there were still a lot of scenic views throughout the journey ahead. It took them a while to go through the entire place. “A lot of girls will come to take photos after it is officially opened to the public.” Myra looked almost like an expert when she made that comment.
Nodding, Tony agreed with her. “You can treat this place as an amusement park.” Even though there were elements that differentiated Tomyrra Wonderland from one, it was still essentially an amusement park, for it had multiple facilities as well, but merely with more buildings. He was also planning to hire performance artists for shows and gigs, so it would be different from an amusement park.
They spent an entire afternoon at the place. When they noticed it was getting late, they left reluctantly. Myra adored the place, as it brought her back to her dreams of when she was a child. It was just that in her dreams, the place was crowded, and nor was Tony with her. However, the experience was enough to make her feel like she went on a time travel.
After they got back in their car, Myra’s eyes were glued to Tony. She couldn’t help but stare, as she had a hard time articulating her feelings. All she could think of was to thank the heavens for bequeathing her someone as outstanding as Tony.
“Don’t I look exceptionally handsome today?” Tony joked while starting the car engine.
“Yeah, you are so freaking handsome. Nobody in the whole wide world looks better than you.” Myra didn’t hold back while praising him, which made him practically light up with joy.
“You silly girl.” He wore a content smile. Hearing her praise him like that made him feel happy.
“Yeah. I will forever be your silly girl. I have nothing to worry about as long as you’re with me.” While on their way back, she couldn’t stop saying sweet nothings to him.
“So when will you marry me?” He was serious about it. After all, he couldn’t wait to see her in a wedding dress. He was also looking forward to the moment when Myra and him swore their oaths in front of God amidst the ringing of church bells and the blessings of a crowd.
“Anytime you deem suitable.” Having lost herself in feelings of bliss, Myra wouldn’t mind doing anything that Tony asked of her right now.
