Long
time ago, Mark was told that there are "Three Essentials for Proposal".
They are flowers, chocolate and ring.
One Saturday, I went hiking with Mark after finishing my work at
school. We met at the entrance of the school and then walked up a
footpath behind HKU. I was a little surprised that he was so sweaty. He
must be in a hurry, I thought.
We started hiking as usual. After we had arrived at a park for a short
break, Mark took out a knife and some fruits from his big backpack. He
cut up the fruits and made a salad in flower shape. It was the second
time that he made such a "flower" for me. We took photographs and ate
the salad, and then carried on our journey.
It was a bit late, yet, he still insisted to walk up a peak which was
rather close to the radio transmitter. When we left the main road and
walked into a footpath, he started taking a lot of photos even though
the place had no scenery at all. Soon afterwards, I discovered that
there was graffiti on the stone wall nearby. As I wanted to tell him, I
saw his name on the wall. Then, I saw my name on the wall too!
Suddenly, I understood what was happening and I laughed (Note by Mark:
she was actually crying !). Mark had prepared everything in the
morning, and that was why he was sweating and nearly came late. Then,
he took out a box of chocolate and read out a letter. Again, his
message was very moving! He took out a little jewelry box. Oh,
did he prepare a diamond ring as well !?
I opened the box... Oh! It was a ring, but from a soft drink can! I
couldn't stop laughing. He told me that he would give me a real diamond
ring later. In fact, his preparation was full of challenges. You may
ask him for the "Proposal - The Episode" if you want to know more of
his preparation work.
