ELARA: FATED TO LOVE

45. You're valuable

"Ela, I want to ask you. Are you seriously getting married to that guy?"

If Anton asked Shane yesterday about his destination for a visit to his residence, this time the middle-aged man questioned his daughter.

Elara nodded. "Yes, Dad," he said.

"You sure?"

Once again Elara nodded.

Anton also looked at the wife who was also with them in the family room and a nod was made by Nadine to respond to her husband's gaze. Actually, Elara's parents had been discussing this last night - according to what Anton had told Shane - that he needed time to discuss this with his wife and Nadine's answer was that they should not obstructing the good intentions of Shane and Elara.

"Actually, it's very difficult for you to let go of being taken care of by another man, but I'm aware that your daughter is no longer the little baby you used to have to keep even from mosquito bites. Now that you're an adult, it's time you made your own life choices and I'm blessing you, son."

The father's words immediately made Elara's eyelids widen.

"Serious dad? I've made up my mind and want to settle Ela's relationship with Shane?"

Although Anton actually knows Kyle more than Shane, but he knows if his daughter will not choose a random partner. Although Shane is still a stranger in their family - unlike Kyle who knows him first - Anton has already arrived at the decision he has also agreed with Nadine. Elara has the right to choose her own partner and if that person is Shane then they are only able to bless and pray for the best.

"Yes, I bless you. So, did you guys set the date?" ask Anton then.

Now Elara is shaking. He and Shane did not talk about the date of the wedding because they waited for the blessing of the parents Elara first.

"Can father and mother determine the date?"

"Yes, Dad. Ela was happy if Daddy and Mommy were taking care of Elara's wedding."

For whatever reason, it feels like Elara is now very happy. The feeling was also mixed with an overwhelming sense of relief. After this, he will immediately call Shane to tell the good news because Shane is not in Elara's residence, but staying at a hotel during a visit to Indonesia.

...***...

The news of his application has been received, welcomed by Shane and Emma who have also heard it via the phone line.

No kidding, that day Shane also intends to buy some surrender to complete the wedding procession later. Shane is accompanied by Elara's younger brother to visit several outlets that are not known by the man.

Shane also asked Saka's opinion on what to buy. Saka himself actually does not know for sure, he only got a list of groceries that Elara sent to him to be bought by Shane. Elara accidentally does not come with them because the girl wants this moment to make Shane to be more familiar with Saka.

While Shane was busy buying the equipment needed for the handover. Elara herself is busy following Liora's wishes which invite her to indulge in the salon.

"No one wants a proposal tomorrow, so there is no harm if we go to the salon first today. You must have been in the salon a long time, right?" liora said understanding.

Debating Liora would only end up free, so Elara just followed her sister's wishes. They do a variety of treatments in the salon, ranging from taking care of the nails, to doing body massage. To be honest Elara did need all of this because she was indeed very tired, not only because of his journey from Germany to Indonesia but since he returned from the countryside to the city was tired in his body was piled up.

"Where, brother? It's fresher, right?" liora said as soon as they came out of the beauty salon.

"Yes, deck. Thanks for remembering to make yourself."

They arrive home and it turns out that Shane and Saka have arrived there first. Shane seemed to talk to Nadine and Anton in a conversation that was quite familiar. Seeing that, Elara felt very happy. Thank goodness her future husband could blend in quickly without her help.

"You're home yet?" shane asked as soon as he realized that Elara and Liora had returned.

"Ela, here ..." Nadine patted the sofa by her side, inviting Elara to join her.

Elara followed Nadine's request and sat down next to her. In this way, his position and Shane became face to face now.

"Shane's bought all the gear for tomorrow's official show."

Elara nodded, she could see all the groceries arranged in the corner of the room. In fact it seemed very much and beyond Elara's own expectations.

"Mother also told Shane about the date of the wedding and he agreed."

Elara looked at Shane and the man gave a nod as a sign that everything was well passed.

"Dad called Shane's mother in Hamburg. We talked through a video call, too" Anton said.

"really?"

"Yes, Shane's mother immediately recognized Dad. He remembered that Dad had visited Shane when he was in the ICU."

The face of Elara looked surprised. He looked back at Shane.

"My mother explained to your father that there was a mistake about Stevi's status" Shane explained as if understanding what Anton had explained to Elara in Indonesian.

"Thank God, so now everything is clear. And I believe that Shane didn't lie to me about his status?"

"Yes, I didn't trust Shane at first but I was hesitant. Now everything's been answered. It's good to ask Shane's mother directly," Anton licked later.

After talking about it, Anton and Nadine left Elara and Shane in the living room.

"What did you buy?" tanya Elara refers to the number of paperbags arranged.

"As per the list you gave Saka."

"But it seems like the package is too much" muttered Elara who was astonished.

"Hmm, there are some that I deliberately added," said Shane later.

Shane is very royal and Elara has been aware of it since the beginning of her introduction to the man. Even when they were trapped in the forest with potluck food, the man always tried his best for Elara, without ever calculating what they would eat tomorrow.

"Shane, why are you always overreacting?" lirih Elara's.

"I want to get married once and it's only with you, I don't think it's all over the top because it's all worth it. Your father was right, Lara. If you're so valuable."

Elara is smiling now. "Based on a woo," he murmured and it was still heard in Shane's sense of hearing making the man laugh at him.
