and then.. she said, “Yes”

Well actually, I proposed her in the exact place where we met eight years ago. She didn’t realized at all (my plan had succeed) that that would be the historic night. And then, I gave her the speech and the proposal, and this tweet:

@witasoy stelah 8 tahun jalan bersama, saya ingin menghabiskan seluruh hidup saya (yg cukup aneh) ini bersama kamu. Will you marry me?

the plan is that she would answer it via twitter too. Un-fraking-fortunately, we got a bad GPRS connection (many thanks for that, Telkomsel!), so I (and actually many other tweeps), have to endure the long wait until she answered it. Well then eventually she said “Yes”. And me? I’m the happiest guy in the world that night. 

Thanks for all of you who gave support and wishes and compliments. There’s still the next step. Well at least I know now, that she would be mine alone….

I love you Maria Dewi Purwitasari. I just love you.

PS: This is my all time favorite tweet. ever.
