A Very Sok-Belum-Kenal Marriage Proposal

The original version of this marriage proposal

Someone clearly believe this expression, "The most romantic place on planet earth to propose a woman you like is at the library". Guess that "someone" is no other than my future husband.

-----

Eight days after his official khitbah, he proposed me again at his very favorite contemplation place, Diknas Library. Please don't ask me how did it feel to get proposed by someone you adore in a very serene place like library. Don't ask me either the feeling of getting proposed TWICE in eight days. On that second proposal, I could only remember covering my overly blushing face with his book, -the book where he wrote his marriage proposal.

Let me tell you a no-longer secret: I'm going to marry a romanticist.

April 21 ~ Makhtubah

April 21 is R.A. Kartini's birth date. And according to some references, it is also Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) date of birth. As for me, April 21 is the day when my journey to the marriage is started. April 21, 2013. Now, I'm a "makhtubah"*.

I can say that my khitbah** story is rather unique. Why is that? Well, because it wasn't really planned. I mean, my fuhus*** didn't really plan to khitbah-ing me on April 21, 2013. Today, he and his family was only intended to meet my parents, strengthened silaturrahim, and chose the marriage date (for us). But then, a night before that date (read : yesterday), my genius father offered a change of plan. My father told me to tell my fuhus to sort of modify the visit into khitbah mode. This is what he said:

"Sekalian aja deh bilang ke Mas-mu untuk melamarmu besok, Nak. Walaupun tidak lengkap, keluarga kita banyak yang bisa hadir dan mengingat mengumpulkan mereka itu tidak mudah, ya jadi sekalian saja. Lagipula kan sudah jelas arahan kalian menuju ke pernikahan. Buat apa lagi "basa-basi" silaturrahim?!".
