The would be scenario on my marriage proposal day:
The place would be a romantic place, with a candle light dinner environment. And we were sitting there enjoying ourselves with a glass of.. lemon juice (:P) and just in the lovey dovey situation. And then we chit and chat about the past, and here goes..
Me: Hun…….. would you marry me? (gulp, i kneel down in silence.. waiting)
Her: (trying to look surprise) Ahh, marriage.. hm.. that depends
Me: Depends on what dear? We love each other, what else to we need?
Her: First of all I need a decent house where we could live in, an air-conditioner is a must considering I can’t live without it. And also furnitures, and I want a car, honda jazz maybe coz it’s affordable in price and gas. And then there’s house maintenance fee’s and bla bla bla bla bla
Me: (still kneeling in doubt, sweating…)
Her: Bla bla bla.. btw how’s your salary?
Me: Err.. enough?
Her: I mean in cash!
Me: Owh.. err.. about (nominal) million rupiah..
Her: Hm.. that’s kinda hard, but combined with my salary i think we could bla bla bla bla (pulling out her PDA and start counting)
Me: (still kneeling.. my hands are a bit numb)
Her: Bla bla bla, and after the count.. well sorry dear but we still need another year until your salary becomes (nominal) and mine also so we could share everything equivalently. And judging from the inflation level and bla bla bla
Me: (here we go again…)
Her: (and at last..) I’m sorry hun, maybe next year..
Me: … (hands.. so numb…)
Her: But if you sell that ring, maybe it would gives us 2 months in advance
Me: …..
And there goes my proposal..
