72 Let Me Love You (1/2)

He got down on one knee before Zunnie. He had not thought of what he would say but still found words to say.

”No-one is perfect. I know for I'm not perfect but for you, I want to be the perfect husband. You love me on my good and bad days and you love me even when others cause trouble for you because of me. It's okay to be curious about someone and when you constantly find yourself wondering about them and wanting to meet them, that means you're falling in love with them. I fell in love with you and I hadn't even noticed. I never imagined you would become this important to me and that one I would want to spend my forever and always with you…”

Zunnie slowly opened her eyes when she noticed he had been speaking to her with her eyes closed. Her deep blue eyes gazed into his amber eyes and he smiled at her. He noticed they were becoming tearing but decided to continue.

”… I want to have children with you and share my cane with you when we can't support ourselves. I want to watch our children and grandchildren grow old together with you. I want you to stay by my side till we go blind, then we can use our ears and if we can't hear each other, I hope to be able to feel you and even if I can't feel you, my heart will continue to beat for you till our creator declare that our hearts can't thump anymore. Zunnie Bai let me be your today, tomorrow, forever and always. I know I already am your husband, but please let me marry you the correct way. Let's seal our hearts, please let me love you, be mine…”

Alex opened the leather box with the ring he and Nyo picked out earlier and wiped the tears that fell from Zunnie's eyes and he waited for her to reply.

She took his hand in his and kissed them as she said,

”Darling you sure know how to surprise me.”

She smiled at him and continued speaking.

”Yes, Mr. Zi, Mrs. Zunnie Bai-Zi would love to be your today, tomorrow, forever and always.” Zunnie hugged him and kissed him.

Alex smiled relieved that everything had gone well. He took the ring from the box and placed it on her finger.

He stood up and pulled her into his embrace.

”You've made me the happiest man. I love you Zunnie.”
