A love that will last, this is what I dream of since I was a
child. When he asked me that night, I can’t help myself not to cry. Tears just
flow from my eyes as I asked myself silently if everything is real.
It is exactly 12 midnight of February 28, 2015 when he asked
me if I want to ride the Ferris wheel in MOA. I had a bit of hunch that
something is going on since it is our 28th monthsary. Our 28th
monthsary should fall on February 29, 2015 but because it is not a leap year,
there is no 29th day of February. And so when he asked me to go to a ride, I positively responded at him
with a feeling of joy and excitement. Then, he talked to the operator if we can
specifically ride at Cab 28 which is responded by the operator positively.
While we were in Cab 28 and the ferris wheel is moving
upward, he began to utter some words “Hindi ko na ‘to patatagalin pa”. He
pulled something from his bag with a red box on it. When I saw it, I found myself crying; tears just flow from my eyes. It is indeed a different thing when the love of
your life ask you to spend forever with you. On his knees, He asked me these
words, “Do you want to be my Shean Munar?” which I responded positively. I
cannot remember the exact words I utter at that moment because I am not prepared
of what should I supposed to say. All I know is that I positively responded on
his question. When I asked him about the exact words I said to him, he actually quoted me with my response: “Oo naman, syempre.”
I remember him telling me that maybe there is nobody else
witnesses his proposal, but he said, “Buong Metro Manila ang nakawitness” since
he gave me the ring when we are at the top of the ferriswheel, above 180ft of
the ground. We took our picture together while the ferris wheel is moving. I
wiped my tears because I know that in a while, the operator will be opening the
doors of our cab.
While we were at the bottom, the operators didn’t seem to
notice us and we were up again. I feel so happy because even nakisabay rin ang operators for they did not let us spoil the moment. I looked at him wondering
whether he planned or talked to them before the ride. Since I want to enjoy the moment, I never mind it as long as I got to
chance to enjoy the ride one more time. While we are on our way to our second ride, He asked me to dance. I am a little bit afraid since we were at the top and the cab is slightly moving. But that dance is the sweetest dance that I have in my entire life. We dance while the ferriswheel is moving while I am singing a line from the song, "Ikaw". We dance while I am humming “Ikaw
ang bigay ng Maykapal, Tugon sa aking dasal…”. Because I believe that God
really destined us to be where we are right now. We actually prayed while we were at the top, we prayed for our relationship to grow and be guided by the One who made it all possible, by God. We asked Him to be the center of our relationship and to give us all we need as we start our journey together.
When we are about to go out from the cab, I looked at the ring he gave me and told myself that I am really engaged. I feel so much joy at that moment and it is the best twenty minutes
of my life. I know that we are now starting of our journey to forever.
