Marry your daughter

Sir, I'm a bit nervous
'Bout being here today
Still not real sure what I'm going to say
So bare with me please
If I take up too much of your time,
See in this box is a ring for your oldest
She's my everything and all that I know is
It would be such a relief if I knew that we were on the same side
Very soon I'm hoping that I...
Can marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
Can't wait to smile
When she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
She's been hear every step
Since the day that we met (I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left)
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad
I've got most of my vows done so far (So bring on the better or worse)
And till death do us part
There's no doubt in my mind
It's time
I'm ready to start
I swear to you with all of my heart...
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die, yeah
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter
The first time I saw her
I swear I knew that I say I do
I'm gonna marry your daughter
And make her my wife
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die
I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen
I can't wait to smile
As she walks down the aisle
On the arm of her father
On the day that I marry your daughter

Lirik lagu yang sudah hampir 2bulan ini bertengger manis di favorite playlist. Pas kena banget, bukan karena lagi melankolis sih... cuma lagi mikirin bapak gimana ya kira-kira nanti perasaan bapak saat anak gadisnya dinikahi pujaan hatinya.

Sepanjang 23tahun tinggal bersama bapak yang hanya satu-satunya lelaki di keluarga inti ini ketika bertemu lelaki pujaan hati anak gadisnya.

Eh, sebelumnya mau jelasin dulu inti lirik lagu diatas ya..

Jadi ini cerita seorang anak lelaki muda yg akan melamar seorang anak gadis tertua kepada ayahnya. Duuuh.... janji2nya manis....

Jadi mikirin perasaan bapak deh...

Mungkin bapak sudah siap atau bahkan belum siap melepaskan anak gadisnya ini.

Ini nih muterin lagu ini gegara obrolan malam ini. Tentang masa kecilku, tentang kedekatanku sama bapak.

Sampe terurailah cerita kerinduan dan kebahagian masa kecil. 
"Bapak akan kehilangan anak gadis ini"
Yang haru di malam ini adalah bapak memerhatikan kisah anaknya

Bapak memamg bukan seperti ibu yang mengutarakan semua hal-hal walaupun hal itu adalah hal kecil. Bapak adalah orang yang hanya menerhatikan kemudian mngkonfirmasi serta meyakinkan tentang keputusan anaknya.

Ah, bapak....
I love you..
Terimakasih. Doakan ya...
Insha allah ini pilihan terbaik arin...

Salam manis,
RN Arini
