The Proposal

It was a tiring day; we were out since 9am today for a whole day island tour. At around 6PM we were in the beachfront of Two Seasons basically just killing time...or so I thought. This day was just an ordinary day. Just like our previous vacations, we always go out and tire ourselves with an all day’s activity.

Ney insisted me to have the key card for me to open the room. I had no idea of what’s waiting for me. As I open the door, the hallway was dark. I was about to put the keycard in its place but another keycard was already there. I got confused. And I just got more confused when I noticed that the floor was full of rose petals.

At the end of the hallway, the light in the middle was turned on illuminating the room full of rose petals. My heart was pounding…my mind was full of thoughts, but a proposal never came into my mind. This vacation was supposed to celebrate our 10th anniversary and I thought that maybe this is his way of making it super special. As I reach the end of the hallway, I saw the bed full of petals. As I recall, I know that I saw a bouquet of flowers and a box of cake… but what caught my attention was that little red box in between the bouquet and the cake.

Though it was so small, the light from the top of the bed illuminated that little red box and it’s glowing so beautifully which made me realize that this is the day… I burst into tears… it just keeps flowing and my whole body was trembling…He grabbed the box, walked in front of me and just pops the question. The question I just dreamt of hearing. The question I have been waiting all my life… “Will you marry me?” All I could remember was him holding my hands and putting the ring into my finger. I hugged him to tight that I could feel him trembling in tears…

This night was so magical. This was the dream proposal I always imagine before go to sleep. The imagination he had made into reality. It always amazes me how he could know exactly what I wanted without me even telling me…without me even asking for it…I really has not sink in yet…I am still floating in the clouds. I only imagine this before. And now, I have this bling bling in my finger that makes me realize that wedding bells will soon be ringing for me…
