How I got booted out of Bachelorhood (Part 2)

Hello all! In my last entry, the Hero (that's me) was struck by a series of unfortunate circumstances in his pursuit of the Maiden (that's my dear). Well, there's an old Chinese saying, "The cunning hare bore 3 holes." It means that a smart person always have more than 1 solution to a problem. Yours truly here, a.k.a. the Hero, happens to be quite hare-ry, if you know what I mean :P

So, Plan A was thwarted by GV, of all things. (DAMN YOU, GV!) Time to move on to Plan B. There's this thing between me and my dear, which is: whenever we speak of the future together, with the precise combination of some phrases, my dear will dare me by saying, "Marry me lah! Marry me lah!" That, my friends, shall be my trump card ;-)

After the movie, we took a bus back to her place. There's a curvy slope that leads to her block. The slope is normally quite deserted during the day, so my plan was to get her to dare me to marry her, then straight away kneel down and take out the ring and REALLY marry her. Imagine the surprise she would get! It's a guaranteed WINNER! (Again!)

We reached one curve and it's quiet all around, so I began to say the phrases. They're very effective, like a wizard's magic words. Sure enough, she stopped walking and dared me. Just as I was doing one last survey of the surroundings and getting ready to kneel down, I saw people coming from the front, the back, as well as cars going up and down the slope. I had no choice but to just give her a hug and a smooch on the cheek. Damn you idle travelers and cars! DAMN YOU! (Again!) Go find your own deserted slope elsewhere to walk up and down!

At this point it might appear to you, my dear readers, that I should change the post title to "How I got booted out of Bachelorhood SOME OTHER DAY", but I wouldn't live up to my name as the Hero if I quitted there and then, would I? Remember: the hare still got 1 hole left... (To be concluded...)
