The Ring

Last week we went to browse for our wedding rings in KLCC.  We went to a few jewelry stores, learning about some diamonds and golds stuff.. By the time we were in the third store, my fiancé's already got bored hearing me asking about the color, clarity, cut, etc to the jeweler... When asked about the design, he would reply, "they all looked the same to me my dear. Just pick any one you like, so I can pay and we can go home fast.."

-_______-'

Sigh. Like any normal man, he gets bored really fast when he's in the shopping malls. Such a typical man he is! Ishhh. Okay fine...maybe because I'm too picky when it comes to all these wedding stuff. I mean I'm deciding for a thing that I want to like 10, 20, 30 years down the road! Heheheh. So of course I gotta pick the right one! Right? ;p

(Although...I know, being a fickle minded person that I am, I may change my mind 5-8 years later. LOL ;p)

So with an excited tone I said, "Really? Anyyyyyyyy one??! Are you sure?"

"Yeah. But within my budget la, of course. You already told me the normal price range for rings right.  So I have given you the freedom to choose. So go ahead and make it fast. I feel so sleepy alreadyyy.."

So to make him less bored or should I say sleepy, I said to him, "Ok lah ok lah, come let's go see your ring pulak. At least...you won't be as bored"

With a blur face he replied, "Huh? I need a ring?"

"What? You mean you don't want a ring or...you don't know that men do wear rings too, on their wedding day???? 
Oh my God, please don't tell me that you don't know!?! Goddddd...not again! Another "lesson" to tell you ke nih...adoi. Kelakar lah dia niiiiii. What did you learn in school laaaa? Ishh. 
So what did you do when your brother or your friends got married last time? You were there right, to witness it?? Tak kan tak perasan the exchanging rings part langsung????" 

"Oh. Ada eh? Tak perasan la! hahahah. Well I'm not like you, miss. Noticing every single damn thing in front of you. Even in TV also you nampak aje benda-benda mengarut. I'm a guy. I don't care all those things. haha. I mean, I thought all these nikah ring, tunang ring, merisik ring, promise ring, onion ring, etc etc...are all for the girl's side je? I thought we guys are supposed to be very simple and cool and practical? No rings no gelang no rantai no keychain no whatever stuff that are on your 100-page list tu...? Even my dad didn't wear any ring pun? Kena pakai ke? I mean is it required in our religion?"

"My dad also didn't wear any ring. It's not a compulsory thing la...but our Rasullullah pakai cincin jugak apa. I mean, bukan lah "kena pakai". But oh well... These days the men do wear it also la.. We exchange it, as a symbol of marriage. 
Oh God...how come you didn't know all these?! I thought your friend ada yang dah kawen and you did attend their wedding?? Funny lah you ni! Mesti memang tak pernah je nak focus when it comes to weddings, romantic stuff kannn? Ishhh you niiiii. Sabar je lah. Nak emo lah macam ni.. I can see that you will forget our anniversary, my birthday, our kids' birthdays and so on... " 

"Alaa...gimme a break la. I'm not like you. I don't watch romantic movies. I'm a guy. I watch funny stuff. So I don't know much about weddings, but it doesn't mean I don't love you. At least you know that I have never been married to anyone before, right? Heheheh. Your birthday, anniversaries semua-semua tu lain laaaa. That one I know I would remember them, cuz by that time..we'd stay together and being you, you would conteng all my diaries and calendar to remind me each year. hahahahah. 
Anyways, all those things didn't really matter whether or not I'm aware of them...cuz for all I know is that I will try to give the best for you and give you whatever you say you want even if it does not make any sense to me. Just as long as you're happy. Ok?"

"Pffft. Pandai la awak tu nak cover ayat bagi I cair. Huh. It doesn't work this time, ok? heheh. Wait, so.....do you still want a ring, honeyyy? 
Jimat duit I, if you don't want it! hehehehe"

"Up to you sayang. You wanna buy, you buy. You don't wanna buy also can. You know I'm fine with anyyyy thing right? I'm a simple guy, you know that. To me ring is just a ring, honey. It doesn't mean anything. The most important thing is the"Kad Nikah", now that's a valuable ANDDDD THE SYMBOL of our marriage. Heheheh. Lepas ni I can bring you anywhere I like, with that card! Now that's MORE valuable to me!! haha"

-_________-'

"That's a freaking DOCUMENT. Not a "symbol", genius! Pfffft." 

"Oh. Sorry. I'm a practical man. For me it's kinda like the same. hahaha. Anyway have you picked any ring that you like? You should go with your sister. She knows what to pick. You ni...banyak sangat benda nak. Susah sangat nak pilih. I can see that we will argue on our first couch when we want to purchase it. haha"

"No we won't. That's different. That's our couch. This is MY ring, ok? So of course laaa, I want it to be perfect! Like how I picked you! heheheheh"

"Rrrrright." 

The sales assistant explaining each design, cut, color, etc to us and how long to book the ring, etc..

"Oh God sayanggg. Please, no more pictures. Dah la I tengah busuk. No no. Stop it."

Hehehe. That's why I love him! He's such a man! A funny, clueless man that is! hehee. Anyway, I got a diamond book from one of the stores we visited that day, explaining all the details about diamonds and rings.. So this week I will try to master it and hopefully by next week I can make up my mind! ;p

Anyone knows when is the next Habib sale? Gotta check out their diamonds jugak later!



XOXO,
