Pinapanhik ni Mew sa entablado si Tul para pasalamatan ito dahil ito raw ang nagtulak sa kanya para gumawa at mag-release ng kanta.
"This song is made for someone special, and as you [Tul] asked, the theme was a song for marriage," ani Mew.
Matapos niya itong sabihin ay bigla na lang lumuhod si Mew sa harap ni Tul, sabay pakita ng singsing at tanong na, "Will you marry me?"
Kitang-kita naman ang pagkabigla sa mukha ni Tul na hindi agad nakasagot sa proposal ni Mew.
Maya-maya pa ay lumuhod din ito at niyakap si Mew sabay sagot ng, "Yes."
Nang maisuot na ni Mew kay Tul ang inihanda niyang engagement ring ay inilabas din ni Tul mula sa kanyang bulsa ang singsing na ibibigay rin niya kay Mew.
Lumalabas na parehas pinaghandaan ng dalawa ang pagpu-propose nila sa isa't isa.

Nang magkakilala sa personal, nagtuluy-tuloy raw ang kanilang komunikasyon hanggang sa mag-level up ito makaraan ang ilang linggo.
Ani Mew, "I sent him off at the airport. When he was in the States, I flew there to see him three times."
Una pa lang ay alam na raw ng dalawa na hindi lahat ng tao ay matatanggap ang kanilang relasyon.
Ganunpaman, buo raw ang loob nina Mew at Tul na ipakita at ipaglaban ang pagmamahalan nila sa isa't isa.
Ani Tul: "We reflected on a lot of things. From my side, I don't think revealing my relationship is necessary. Public opinions are various. Well, we are this old. I don't think I have to prove myself for anyone. If not now, then when?
"The real world is harsher than I expected. They don't know me but they want me to die. I think it's time to get through this suffering about how others would judge me.
"I want you all to be able to express yourself. For those who are still narrow-minded, don't judge other people from your expectations. Diversity is beautiful."
Nagpasalamat naman si Mew sa lahat ng fans at kaibigan nilang masaya at sinusuportahan ang kanilang relasyon.
Saad niya, "We have to admit that society has changed a lot in a good way though. Thank you everyone. Thank you society. Thank you everyone who is ready to make our society a better place in every aspect.
"I'm at a point where I can overcome how I have to reveal myself or anything I got over it already. Everyone deserves to be loved in his or her own way. It's such a good moment. I'm glad to see my perfect match."
