A Perfect Proposal

Venue : Secret place somewhere in Jakarta
Time : 8 PM, straight after her office hour (should be surprisingly shocking)

Rundown :

Two weeks before D-day I suddenly cancel all dates that I already promised her.

To get more heating temperature, I will pretend very-very busy that I even cannot pick her up after office. Including stop visiting her during the weekend.

All of her gang member -coordinate by her best friend- will ask her to hang out at the secret place in Jakarta. We already calculate her period, to make sure she’s in good mood.

Suddenly I appear on that secret place along with my buddies. All of us pretend it just a coincidence. We hang out together on one big table. I know she’s still mad at me, but we all know she will pretend nothing happened in the crowd, especially in friendly circle.

Someone then mysteriously play the piano on the corner stage. An intro from Yovie & Nuno song, “Janji Suci.” It will be a dark lighting on the stage, so nobody knows who the pianist is.

I will walk to the stage and grab the mike. Everybody, especially her, look surprise, they knew I can not sing. Singing was not that fun for me, even at Inul Vizta.

I will sing a few lyric of that song, thanks for the quick tutorial from my best buddy.

Dengarkanlah, wanita pujaanku. Malam ini akan kusampaikan.
Hasrat suci, kepadamu dewiku. Dengarkanlah kesungguhan ini…

Enough, it is not my aim to torture anyone that night. The surprise will begin. Stage lighting turns bright. Suddenly her all time favorite Band, Yovie & Nuno surprisingly appears on stage. They continue that song,

Aku ingin mempersuntingmu. Tuk yang pertama dan terakhir. Jangan kau tolak dan buat ku hancur. Ku tak akan mengulang tuk meminta. Satu keyakinan hatiku ini. Akulah yang terbaik untukmu.

Everybody including our friends screaming for that surprise. For that purpose, only two friends of mine knew that Yovie & Nuno will come.

After that song, I approach her, look at her in the eyes and pop up the question. Once again, to create a romantic ambience, some friends have no idea about this following sequence, so we can get a spontaneous shriek of astonishment effect.

“I promise you I would give you the world, or die trying to.” [I know, I know, it’s a gombal line, but I think it will work as an opening before I pop up the question]

“I still mad at you” [she will reply]

“Well, uhm. I did bring Yovie & Nuno.” [We take a glance to the stage. Yovie, the pianist, salute to us]

[She shall start smiling, and laughing. You know she looks amazing when smiling. That will be a perfect moment to pop up the question]

It will be a perfect night. Thank you very much to her best friend who help me book the venue and coordinate the girls. My best buddy who give best effort to bring Yovie & Nuno only to sing one song that night.

“Honey”

“Yes?”

“Would you mind pay the bill tonight? Those Yovie & Nuno things makes me broke.”
