The strange screen seemed to spread throughout Isabel's body as soon as Erich expressed the desire to marry her. Isabel was stunned to give an answer. The young man's rapid movements inevitably create an inner war in Isabel between wanting to accept or reject it.
Silent. Isabel turned her eyes towards her father. The middle-aged man made no sound, only a single smile rose on his lips as if to be the answer. In another direction Isabel found the face of Arka who was also sitting not far from her. Not much different from Praja, Arka also smiled thinly without responding to anything.
How'this?
"Follow your heart, my daughter. I am free to determine the answer. Refuse or accept, I leave everything to you." As a father Praja will certainly leave all decisions to Isabel. He realized it was wrong to bring in Arum as a connecting mother for Isabel and now Praja does not want to make a mistake for the second time by forcing or prohibiting the desire of the princess associated with the time the front that will be knitted later.
The girl nodded obediently. Is correct. Now it is he who has the right to decide. Not only about his feelings but also about his future.
Isabel now turned to look at Erich who was also staring at her. The pair of Eagle eyes was implying warmth. Erich is firm but also has a gentle nature. Of course Isabel often catch the nature wet when both are in certain situations. When squeezed or in some events that inevitably make the original nature of the man appear.
"Sister Erich?" Call Isabel to Erich, who is called to put his eyes on the girl.
"Yes" Erich replied straightforwardly.
"Is Brother Erich sure of the decision to marry someone like me?"
"Sure, Isabel."
"Sister Erich won't regret it?"
"Sure, I won't regret any decision I've made including marrying you, Isabel."
Upon hearing Erich's straightforward reply, Isabel quickly threw away her gaze. The girl refused to be in such a position. The look hit Erich, so intimidating. Making Isabel not strong to continue staring at the handsome face and a pair of clear eyes that seemed able to destroy his defense.
"I think Brother Erich is very capable to find a companion more than me. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to refuse, it's just.."
"Why? I don't want your explanation, Isabel. But I just want your answer. Do you want to accept or reject me?"
Isabel skulking. The beautiful girl looked back at her father as if asking for consideration. While Erich, the man remained in his original position. Still looks calm even though his heart is pounding.
"Yes, I accept you, sis," replied Isabel as she bowed her head, covering up the agonizing shame.
Erich smiled faintly. His heart was full of relief. Without a doubt the handsome man immediately grabbed Isabel's hands, touched and then gripped her tightly.
Not much different from the son, Arka also smiled widely in his seat at this time. As a father of course Arka supports the decision of the son. Isabel is a good girl, as she saw while accompanying the son in dispelling the problems that occur repeatedly. As well as the struggle that the son did, unable to cover up the reality if the two lovebirds really need each other.
"Okay, the answer has been heard. Nak Isabel has returned the expression of love from my son which means that, we will be besanTuan Praja Diwangka."
"Yes, Mr. Arkana. We're gonna be besan." The two shake hands as a celebration.
💗💗💗💗💗
Different from the original plan of a pair of fathers and children, Praja and Isabel now remain at the residence Erich while waiting for the application process that apparently will be held Erich lively tomorrow.
Something that once again surprised Isabel and Praja. Not asking for approval, Erich planned everything suddenly but still wanted to look as perfect as possible.
A designated WO has been burdened with so much desire to succeed the party that became the dream of Erich in the long run.
Isabel still looks shocked. The beautiful girl could only obey as Erich took her before a specially appointed fashion designer preparing a pair of clothes that they would wear during the proposal.
"Son, isn't this just our application?" Isabel asked as she stared at the luxurious dress with a sappir stone decoration on the chest area.
"Yes" Erich answered.
"Isn't this too much?" Isabel's question is so subtle. Afraid of Erich's feelings.
Erich smiled faintly. The man was not at all offended by the lover's question. Naturally, so thought Erich. Maybe the girl is not used to it either.
"No. I'll just invite family and some colleagues. Besides, my mom could be upset if I had an engagement without a party." Of course Erich's answer was the man's wits alone. The party probably had nothing to do with Zara. Although at first the mother was quite surprised to hear that the son intended to propose to Isabel, but Zara also felt the same happiness felt by her son as well.
Erich's purposely designed party was probably over the overflow of happiness that the young man felt. The presence of Isabel who accidentally entered into his life, became a blessing for him.
Isabel was the girl of her dreams all along. Isabel was apparently able to fill a special space within herself that had not been able to be entered by any girl.
Although confused, Isabel just say the words of Erich and his will. Not only adjusting the clothes that will be worn later, Erich also looks for a pair of rings as the main tool of smooth engagement held tomorrow.
"Which one do you want?" Erich's Bargain to Isabel. "Sorry, due to the urgent time I didn't even get to ask for a special design for our pair of engagement rings." A look of regret on Erich's face. All are constrained by time. A specially ordered ring certainly requires a lot of time for all the processes and the time of only one heart is certainly not possible to make it happen.
"Nothing, sister, after all the ring is just a symbol and the most important is the meaning contained in it. How we live the relationship to keep it going. Rings can be fragile but our relationships will continue to be strong as time goes on." Isabel's explanation no doubt made a smile on Erich's lips rise. The man withstood all the turmoil of not hugging Isabel right now, in the presence of the jeweler's visitors.
"Yes yes, so I am very confident in my decision. You're really the man I've been looking for all this time, Isabel. Marry me and you will cherish your whole life with my love. This is my promise to Isabel. You can write it down in your heart and mind. I will never break a promise. I swear to you, Isabel, my lover."
Abandon in the surroundings. The promise was spoken out loud from Erich's lips only to Isabel.
