"Mrs Stevano, will you age with me? Watching our children play, go to school, get married and eventually they go away from us so it's just the two of us."
Daffin's proposal on stage continues to plague my heart. My heart was still pounding, even though we were in a restaurant.
"Why don't you eat?" daffin asked, when I just kept staring at him.
How am I gonna eat? It was the first time I felt something like this and it happened after a lot of bitter things that I experienced. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I felt very happy and felt very anxious to float?
"I'm .. I'm not hungry!" my dear, trying to find the right reason.
"Really?" ask Daffin suspiciously.
I nodded for sure. "Sure!"
"It's weird, Mrs Stevano." Daffin put down his spoon. "Usually you always snatch my food after you've finished your meal. Is my son starting to act like his brother?" tanyanya.
The corner of my eye glanced at Shaka who was fast asleep in the stroller. Her face looks so adorable. Suddenly I became curious about how Daffin looked when he was a child.
"Hey, I'm asking you, Mrs Stevano!" sergeant Daffin, wake me up from a daydream about his childhood.
I snorted in annoyance. "Yes, I hear you, Daffin! Every child has a different character. I'm just not hungry now, I don't know."
"Hopefully my son will obey me this time" Daffin said in a faint smile on his face.
My forehead winches. "Whatchu mean? You must have some weird plan. Say it!"
"Nothing! I just don't want to lose the vote. Now I've lost because Shaka is more on your side. What if his sister is also on your side? I will be oppressed." complained Daffin while rubbing his face violently.
Looking at Daffin's expression like that, made my laughter spurt out just like that. Daffin's behavior is getting funnier, he seems to be competing for my attention with his own son.
"Why are you laughing?" tanyanya with a gritted face.
My laughter stopped and I grabbed Daffin's hand. "Even if the whole world is against you, I will always be the only one by your side."
A red tinge adorned Daffin's face before he grabbed a vase on the table to give it to me.
"It's not that I'm not capitalized, but I just don't want to leave you for now. So let this emergency flower I give you before I give you the whole world." Daffin's hand had a ring on my finger.
What else is this? I was so happy when Daffin proposed to me on stage and now he's doing something sweet like this. Ah, it feels like my blood sugar is soaring high.
"Generic ...."
"That's my name!" sahut Daffin then kissed the back of my hand.
"I know and I'll always remember!" timpalku cupped Daffin's hand.
To appreciate Daffin's small business, I took the little vase he gave me and held it tightly. I cupped my cheeks and put on a face as sweet as possible.
"Thank you, my handsome husband" I said spoiled.
"Hold it!" pinta Daffin, then she pulled out her phone to point it at me. "Look! This is the woman who always interrupted my sleep and made me feel like living for a thousand years."
Daffin's words so rained down on my heart, especially when he showed me the portrait of myself he had just taken.
Not knowing what to say, I just covered my mouth with both hands to hold back the feeling of haru that surrounded my heart.
Enough is! I've been too happy to get all this in my life. My very bitter, dark, and miserable life has been lost flying somewhere. All this has been replaced by so much happiness.
There is nothing more I want in life than my happy little family. Maybe it will be a big family later. However, for now only Daffin and Shaka and my second child candidates alone are enough to make me excited to live life.

Two months later ...
There was shouting all over the house on the day I was waiting, especially by my parents. They were both so enthusiastic and so happy because today has finally arrived, the day that I will be wearing the wedding dress and father will take me to a new life. Yes, yes, it is not a new life actually! It's just that this is the first time that my father has brought me to a man who will take his place to look after me.
"Darling, are you happy?" ask the mother who has been looking at my face.
I smiled sincerely. "Very, Mom!"
Mother's tears rolled down her cheeks. "Thank you for forgiving me, baby! I'm sorry I missed so many important moments in your life."
"Mother ...," The warm water started to slide free from my eyes.
Mother's soft hands wiped my tears. "Don't cry, honey, or your makeup will be ruined!"
"If that happens, it means that Daffin is not wearing the best makeup artist!" I looked at him with a face that seemed annoyed.
My joke managed to pull a smile on my mother's face. Although tears kept coming out of her eyes, but there also clearly emanated how happy mother is today.
"You are my daughter and will always be my mother's daughter at any time." Mom took both my hands. "Never forget that, even if you've become a mother!" emphatically.
I nodded and hugged my mother. "I love you, Mother."
In the warmth of my mother's embrace, the memory of the days when I was rude to my mother turned around and I could not help but tear my eyes out.
"Already! Already!" Mom rubbed my back so I could calm down. "Later your beautiful makeup and dress will be ruined."
"Lilly ...."
My mother and I looked at each other when I heard my father's voice entering my room. There was already a father with teary eyes. Her footsteps were limped while trying to get to me.
"My daughter ...," Dad rubbed the rough tears that fell on his cheek.
"Dad, please don't make me cry again!" my door with pursed lips.
Dad's gaze rested on the figure of the mother who had just wiped away her tears. "No, Honey! These are happy tears. So, let's just go out for today."
Dad might be right! Let today be the last day when we all regret the past.

After revealing each other's hearts, finally me and my parents left for the wedding hall. The original plan, me and Daffin will make a beach party, but because my condition is not possible and Shaka who increasingly can not stay still. So, we decided to have a wedding reception in this city only and in a closed room.
"Mrs, young master is asleep." Rania half ran towards me who just got off the car.
Rania. The girl looked tired from taking care of my naughty son. He even had to give up his time wasted for hours just to prepare for Shaka on this important day, and the smart boy fell asleep.
"No problem, Rania." I pat Rania on the shoulder. "Take him to the stroller! We'll keep him in." I say.
"Good, Madam,"
Rania immediately did my orders. And I immediately asked him to follow me into the hotel ballroom, where Daffin prepared everything. Actually, I wanted to take part in this reception, but Daffin strictly forbade me to do so. And to make matters worse, I don't even know what concept he's using for our show today. Hopefully he doesn't use the seabed theme! My stomach ached at once to imagine there were many bubbles and people in costumes of marine animals. Haha ....
As soon as I got to the front of the room, there were already om Rei and also Ersya who looked different today.
"Our bride has come!" exclaimed om Rei, then extended his hand to me.
"Rey!!!" Dad brushed off Rei's hand. "It's my job! I've been waiting a long time." he said.
Om Rei clucked. "Goodbye, Brother! You can wait for twenty more years, why is one year so long for you?"
"Married, Rei, and stop fighting over my daughter! Make your own child!" grunt dad while holding my hand.
I-i know. Om Rei would never marry until at any time because to him only a perfect woman could win his heart. I had repeatedly persuaded him to forget about mother, but the result was still nil.
"I'm not going to disturb your parents' happiness, Lily, but I can't leave you here. If God did have pity on me, he would have sent someone so I could forget Maya."
My last conversation with Rei at least gave me hope that someday, um Rei will find his love. I just hope it won't be too long because anyway, um Rei deserves to be happy.

The boisterous atmosphere was instantly created as my father and I walked through the ranks of the guests as well as the reporters who were hunting the news.
My gaze went around observing the party decorations that were really made like fairy tales, exactly as I wanted. And when I saw Daffin's blue eyes waiting for me, I saw his face met with red.
Although this was not our first marriage, it was our first time getting married properly. Attended by our loved ones and witnessed by the whole world.
When dad's hand put my hand together with Daffin's, I couldn't hold it until my tears came back.
"Blessed, Daughter! Thank you for making me feel like a complete Dad!" Dad's kiss landed on my forehead before dad left me with Daffin.
Warm handkerchief Daffin touched my cheek. "You always look beautiful, my wife."
I put on a thin smile. "You've always been handsome, too, my husband."
Daffin clasped my hand tightly and faced towards the invited guests. Before saying many things, Daffin looked me in the face and smiled happily.
"I would like to say a big thank you to the invited guests and fellow journalists who were willing to attend our event today. Many of you may not know my wife. And wonder, when did we get married?" Daffin looked over and smiled at me. "Actually we were married about two years ago, but because there were some problems, we were forced to cover our marriage. However, today I want the whole world to know my wife, Lily Yovela Stevano, who is also the only daughter of the Kafel family. She's the only woman who'll accompany me to the end of my life."
Rumbling claps filled the room as Daffin kissed me in public. There's not much we can say because all our happiness emanated so clearly today. Especially when Shaka appears and makes everyone curious. Although I hesitated a little, I let Daffin introduce Shaka in public.
"He's my son." Daffin holds Shaka who is laughing at the stroller. "Shaka Ryuichi Stevano."
"That means, young master Shaka will be the heir to the entire Stevano family fortune, sir?" ask a reporter.
"No! He had to share it with his sister who was about to be born." Daffin pulled my hand and wrapped his hand around my waist to get me closer to him.
And this is how my life is now. I am getting used to my new life. There will be many people who are curious about my life and my story. However, whatever it is I will continue as long as Daffin is beside me.
