Ferris Wheel

Prologue(or how do you spell it)
i have been trying to write this story for at least 5 times, which half way through writing, i offed the window as i dont know how to get it the way i wanted. So lets hope this time round, the story acheive the effect that i want.

"Mummy! What is that huge thing they are building?" a curious young boy asked his mum, pointing at the huge project where many men are working on, then 2005.

"What they are making is the world biggest ferris wheel, my dear son. A ferris wheel is a viewing tower that rotates in circle. The chinese name of it means view-the-sky-wheel. As it is tall and rotates in circle, from inside you are able to view the scenery in different angle and height." explained his mum.

And Nebia, who overheard this conversation, turned and looked at the then barren land.

Years later, and 2008 came.

The world tallest ferris wheel is in motion, or so they call it the Singapore Flyer.

Nebia is just another boring guy who sticks to his computer and games daily after school. However, his life, like a black and white picture, was colourified by the appearance of Kinie. She is a sweet and beautiful lady who never fail to catch the eyes of passerbys.

Nebia thought to himself aloud
"I have never believed in love at first sight until i know you", as this angel sits beside him.
She happened to be his friend's friend.

He is indeed mesmerised, by her smile, by her eyes, by her everything. And from there on, he tried to know Kinie better. As time goes by, her sweet and caring character got him to fall deeper and deeper. Nebia, on the other hand, exposed more and more of his unserious behaviour to her.

Soon, one day, he tried to hint to Kinie that he likes her and see her reaction. She, on the other hand, treated it as another joke of his and did not take his confession seriously.

So Nebia asked,"Hmmm... How am i supposed to convince you that im serious about you and isnt joking about this matter?"

"Give me a suprise that would make me touched until i will cry" Kinie replied jokingly, with a smile that deeply etched into Nebia's mind.

He started planning for his suprise, but what would be a nice place to do a perfect confession?
Singapore is a small place with little romantic places around, and what would make her so touched until she cry? What a troublesome girl!

As he walk around, he went back to the place where he overheard the conversation years back. But instead of a barren land, what stood in front of him is the magestic ferris wheel. And his idea came.

He asked her to the Singapore Flyer during the evening. With the beautiful sunset sky and buzzling city as his backdrop, he plucked out his courage and confessed once again to Kinie, but this time, with strangers around as witness to his love.

"There's a story about Ferris Wheel. There is a reason why it goes in circle and why it has to be tall. Going in circle would signify life, which is a circle, and there is always high and low in life, just like in the Ferris Wheel. As the Ferris Wheel is supposed to view the sky, it has to be built tall, so as to be nearest to the sky, and people believed that they will be blessed by the angels at the highest point of the Wheel. I want you to be a part of my life, and i will be there for you, be it during your peak of your life or the lowest point of your life. And my love for you is like the wheel, it always goes in circle, which signify never ending. "

At this point of time, they reached the highest point and Nebia continued,
" The time now is 19:19, and i hope that this would be the moment that you will never forget in life. I hope that this has proven the fact that im serious and im not joking no more. Would you accept me, at the highest point here, in the blessing of the angels?" he asked Kinie, while suddenly taking out a stalk of rose giving it to her.
