He Look Into Her Eyes & She Nodded

finally my dream is coming true after 12 years
(my ring don't sparkle here! sobs)

This is a long overdue post! but I'm still going to write about the day my bf finally came out of his shell and gave me his heart. Oh well, half of his shell? coz he was too shy (or say very well versed in legal mumbo jumbo) to ask the question. After all his family business is everything about the law, one would think twice about verbally promising something right? Here's my valentine story, after nearly 12 years of waiting.

how it happened on Valentine's Day

I went home late after dinner at One Utama with my bff and bf. Call it a threesome if you want but nothing happened besides our tummy getting pregnant with Vietnamese food. Everyone had gifts and flowers from their boyfriends, it was almost to a boiling green point for me. Coming out of the bathroom, expecting nothing less than yet another boring Valentine's Day with my bf of 12 years who doesn't believe in Valentine's Day or Christmas or any festivities connected to commercial shopping escapes. I sighed and open the door, only to be blocked by that man.

"What do you want? I need to work right now." I said coldly, acting like I owned a business.

He continue to block my way. I was shocked and annoyed at the same time, thinking what is wrong with him? I gotta work!. Slowly he walked right in and stood right in front of me. I can almost feel his breath. Something is wrong here. 

Suddenly he held my hand up gently but slowly, then I saw a tiny red box. My eyes fixated at the tiny red box, unable to move away. My heart skipped a beat and the world seems to be on a standstill. 

He opened the tiny red box and a diamond ring stood perfectly still, shining at me.

I panic! like how the cat sees it's prey from far. What do I do now? a sense of fear came upon me. What happens if the ring can't fit? Is he going to ask the question? Omg where are we now?!

He took my hand and slipped the ring on my finger (omg it fits! did the guy measure my finger while I was fast asleep at night?). I waited for him to pop the question but instead of the question, he warned me not to lose the diamond ring knowing down right I'm a careless bum. A 0.65 carat, high clarity, brilliant cut solitaire diamond ring he said while looking lovingly into my eyes.
Never mind the question, my heart is already his.
