Hello! I'm back to save this rusty space! Actually, I should damn well be cramming information into my brain right now but I just can't help it. Using up my study time to update with this piece of news is damn worth it. ;)
This won't be my normal lazy pic-blogging because years from now, I want to be able to look back at this post with tears in my eyes. Okay, let's begin, shall we?
24th April, Thursday
On this evening, we made a date to go to a pasar malam nearby my workplace because I was craving badly for some junk food. At knock-off time, he was patiently waiting outside (as the sweet him always does) for me. He didn't drive that day so we took a bus out.
During the bus ride, we were holding hands and out of nowhere, he commented that I have really small hands. And so we started comparing our hands and he just couldn't stop talking about my hands for a good 5 minutes. Now, it was after work and I was pretty dead beat so I stopped talking after awhile and just gazed out the bus window. Here's the damn good part. My left hand was in his, and he started trying to discreetly measure my ring finger with his pinky. HAHAHA. I felt it loh, I sneaked a peek at what he was doing and wanted to laugh. But I just kept quiet and continued gazing out the window.
That night went on as usual afterwards, we bought food back home and that was it.
25th April, Friday
It started out like any normal day, with a few messages to each other during the daytime. When I was home after work, he texted me asking if I was just going to stay home and study that night. Now usually that's how he checks if I wanted to make any plans with him, or else he'd just make other plans or stay home. So I told him yes and immediately assumed he was going out with his friends but he said no he wasn't.
Now it was exam period so normally he would encourage me to study hard. But that night in particular, he was quite insistent about getting me to go out for dinner. And that was when it hit me, where I linked his actions the day before together with this night. (I'm sorry baby, I knew you wanted it to be surprise haha)
So I agreed to dinner that night and he came to pick me up. As usual, we were indecisive about what to eat. He finally settled on heading to Vivo City after awhile. During the car ride, he kept saying he has something to tell me and it could be the happiest or worst day of my life. Yah, so I already suspected something and he started acting like this.. but why in the world would it be the worst day of my life?! I started bugging him and he said he needed to focus on driving (bullshit haha).
Then he suddenly changed topic and asked if I liked monkeys! I swear I really wanted to hit him (which I did) because it felt like I was being led on! Like wth right, monkeys????? So we were joking around and then...
Halfway through (while still driving tyvm), he finally started on a speech and then out came the question I've been waiting for. Now baby, you must have felt really bad because there was no dramatic tearing or whatnot from me, but I swear I was feeling just as nervous as you were. And in that moment, there really were no words to describe how happy I was when you asked the golden question. :')
He told me to look behind and sure enough, lying on the backseat was a beautiful bouquet of red roses and tied to it was... *drumroll*... A STUFFED MONKEY. He said only monkeys had fingers so he could hang the ring on it. HAHAHA. And there, on one of the fingers of the monkey was the ring.
Well, the ring wasn't my size.. he said he knew it when he 'measured' my ring finger the previous day. So I'm wearing it on my necklace now until we can get it changed.
It may not have been the go-all-out proposal, or it might not have turned out the way you wanted it to, but nothing meant more to me than the words you said before asking me for my hand. It is definitely a story to tell still (proposing in the car while driving haha).
After this whole grandmother story, I am proud to say..
We are engaged!!! *throws confetti*
I am so excited to begin this next step into our journey together.
And I cannot wait for the rest of our lives to begin.
I love you, so incredibly much. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
