But Alynna said she did not accept his proposal.
"Sabi ng iba bakit hindi raw ako nag demand ng kasal. He proposed to me years ago. Sabi niya magpakasal daw kami. Pero sabi ko huwag na lang baka magkaroon ng complication sa. mga anak niya. So sabi ko huwag na lang. (Some people said why didn't I demand marriage? He proposed to me years ago. He said we should get married. But I said, 'Don't, there might be complications with his children.' So I said don't)," said Alynna when asked if Hajji ever proposed to her during an interview after her concert at Viva Cafe in Araneta City recently.
Alynna regretted not accepting the wedding proposal, claiming it was for his benefit.
"Sayang talaga. There was a chance, but I decided not to accept it for his sake and his family. Hindi ko naman alam na mangyayari sa kanya ito. (Sadly, there was a chance, but I decided not to accept it for his family. I didn't know this would happen to him)," she said.
Alynna said she is okay with Rachel (Alejandro), daughter of Hajji, and Ali, who reached out to her after the male singer passed away. "Nag-thank you ako sa kanila. (I thanked them)."
