First Time For Everything

Azrin told me that his brother called him with mixed emotions to say "Ajin,can you come to JB to meet Belle's family?"

Of course. We would love to! 

After much discussing, what was supposed to be our quiet anniversary day in, was the day Ashraf asked us to come down to JB. We packed our passports (because Singapore is just a snorkel away, haha!) and drove down early in the morning.

As we were reaching JB, got a "can you get a ring for me please" text from Ashraf.

What.

Me : Ash, did you not tell us something? Is there going to be a ceremony?
Ashraf : No no
Me : You sure? I'm in a short dress!
Ashraf : Yes
Me : Are you going to propose?
Ashraf : Ya

Azrin and I looked at each other. We have less than an hour to look for a ring. An engagement ring. In a state we are not familiar with. Not a way we imagined to spend our anniversary. We were walking in and out of ring shops and until we got one for him.

"B, the irony, we going in and out, surrounded by gold and diamonds everywhere, we've been together for ten years, you did buy something but just not for me. Such a sweet husband I have"

I could see smoke coming out of his ears. Haha.

As we were walking out, I told Azrin that it would not be nice to come empty handed especially if Ashraf is going to propose (however way he wants to do it), so we spent a little more time looking for some cookies and cakes. Off we go.

We reached Belle's house with her mom there. We talked but Belle was in the room.

In my head : Wait a minute, is this the traditional way?

When Ashraf was talking about proposing, Belle's mom was hinting to do it the proper way. I looked around, and I was the only woman from Ashraf's side.

Crap.

I took the red ring box. What do I say? What do I say?

...oh well, I did it. I think. They're engaged! I think. Err, Belle's mom accepted the ring, and it is on Belle's finger now so yeah, they're engaged!

*bows*

Congratulations Ashraf and Belle!

I am ready to have a son. Haha.

Azrin and I had to release the nerves, we went to enjoy some JB must-haves after.

*licks finger and bowl*

...and yes, Azrin gained 3kgs when we got back to KL.

Ok, I'll blog about our Singapore trip next!
