We set another dinner date for 15 November 2007, but was nearly interrupted. On the 15th morning, Daniel was called for an inter-CF meeting in the evening. His plans for a romantic dinner was faced with a setback.
When he picked me up at about 9-ish after his meeting, I suspected nothing and at the same time, expected nothing either. As it was rather late for dinner, we changed our dinner plans to supper. I brought him to Uptown Damansara.
When we parked the car, all of a sudden he pulled out a bouquet of red roses from the back of my seat. It was 7 stalks of roses (seven because it represents perfection). Then, he tried to pop that question. It was quite funny to see him grimace and say, "Would you want to go out with me?"
To play it cool, I grinned and retorted, "Well, aren't we going out already? We're going out for dinner, right?"
Blink.
He continued to struggle for words as we got out of his car and walked towards Uptown Mamak. He didn't want to use the word girlfriend because it's unbiblical (girlfriend doesn't exist in the Bible). Fair. So, he tried stringing sentences like, "I like you," "Can we go out?" etc.
Finally, when he finished his chicken chop, he uttered the most beloved and romantic and also biblical proposal - Would you want to follow me as I follow Christ?
How can I say no to that, right?
