We drove to a (ski) jet station, parked the car in the parking lot, then Ella and I walked to the attendants.
Ella: boat?
Me: more than that dear.
Helmsman: hey bro, you’ar back!
Me: yeah, shall we?
Helmsman: yup!
We jumped into the ski jet, the dude drove crazily, ‘tearing’ the blue water in his way. Soon we arrived at the shore leading to an island.
Helmsman: here we go guys!!! I winked at him, reminding him of our deal, before Ella and I alighted.
Me: Ella, you’d have to close your eyes……no no i mean i’d be blindfolding you. She closed her eyes, i then removed a dark blindfold from my back pocket and fixed it properly on her eyes. I guided her path, so she wouldn’t trip. We reached the centre of the island. Royal palms were scarcely planted.
Me: Ella, i’d count one to three, on the third count, you untie your eyes, yeah?
Ella: yeah, lets have the countdown.
Me: (loudly) one…..two….
Everyone: threeeee. The expression on Ella’s face was that of suprise. Why won’t she be suprised? I never told her i invited my friends and colleagues to the island. The people seated some meters away from us would number to 20, each with his partner!!! ‘king & queen’ gold coated rose decorated chairs were reserved for us, courtesy of samuel.
Ella: (smiling) Isaiah…i….don’t.….
Me: (placing my right index finger on her lips) sshhhhh. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out a red parcel, i opened it to reveal a shiny daimond engagement ring, then i went down, with my right knee touching the ground and the other slightly above the ground….
Me: Ella Lagdemeo, would you become Ella Guidotti? She also went on her knees, hmmmm what is she up to? She then planted a soft kiss on my lips!!!!
Ella: yes…yes Isaiah, i’d marry you!!! I helped her up and huged her tightly.
Me: (loud enough for others to hear) Mahal kita Ella! (i love you Ella)
Ella: Mahal din kita (i love you too). We both took our ‘king and queen’ seat. The people present couldn’t help but scream and clap. Samuel staggered like a drunk to the podium.
Samuel: ladies and gents, its time for beach parrryyy (party). Everyone: yeeeee!”!
