Bryan gazed up and looked straight in her eyes. With his soft voice, he started to explain himself to her.
"I am very sorry. I didn't mean to anger you nor insult you. All I wanted to say is… I am afraid to lose you."
April didn't know whether to believe him or not. Seeing her doubt, Bryan didn't stop and just continued speaking what's on his mind.
"April, you are the only strength and courage I have right now. I don't know how I can live without you."
"That's why today…" Bryan paused midway. Then seconds later, he raised his right hand and stretched it to her. In his palm, there was a small box. Inside that box was a diamond ring.
April was utterly shocked seeing that object in his arms. Bryan, in his kneeling position, he was holding that sparkling object which only meant one thing: he was proposing to her.
"April… will you accept me to be your husband? Will you spend your lifetime with me? April… will you marry me?"
