Forced to Marry Alula

A Proposal

Cleon has decided to propose to Chelsea. He thought everything through carefully.

"Isn't it too soon, dear? You're only 25 years old," Alice, Cleon's mother was worried about her son's decision.

"Of course I'm sure, Ma. I want to be united with Chelsea immediately" Cleon replied confidently.

"Let him choose his own life!" Timpal Ron when he heard the conversation of his wife and son.

"Isn't 25 years old mature enough to get married, Ma?" Cleon asked his mother.

"Yes, honey. But in our country, 25 years old is too young to get married" Alice said.

"Cleon's an adult, Ma. Mama don't worry! Cleon had already thought through everything in calculation."

"All right, sweetheart. Mama leave everything to you!" Said Alice.

"Tonight mama, papa, brother Henry and Beverly should come huh? Cleon's going to propose to Chelsea tonight" Cleon made up his mind.

"Yes, honey. Mama's coming."

"Papa's little son is now an adult," Ron patted Cleon's shoulder softly. Then he hugged his youngest son.

"Call Cleon, Pa! Hopefully Cleon's proposal will be accepted" Cleon asked for his parents' blessing.

"Of course he will accept you. Who is the woman who would reject a man like you?" Ron boasts his youngest son.

"Alula who once rejected me, Pa," Inner Cleon in her heart while smiling wryly.

"In that case, Cleon went first to Chelsea's parents' house! Cleon had to ask them for their blessing first," Cleon picked up his jacket.

"Be careful on the road, baby!" Excited Alice.

"Yes, Ma. Pa, Cleon go first!" Cleon immediately went to Chelsea's parents' second home.

A few minutes later, Cleon was already inside the home of Chelsea's parents. Chelsea happened to be out of business because she was in her boutique. Cleon deliberately so that Chelsea did not know about his plans to apply.

"Om, aunt. I'm here to propose to Chelsea" Cleon said of his wishes to Chelsea's parents.

They looked shocked when a man came and suddenly asked to propose to his daughter. After Cleon explained and expressed his good intentions they finally agreed.

"Please take care of Chelsea like we take care of her!" Will, Chelsea's father, told Cleon. His eyes glazed over as he thought the time was getting closer to taking off his daughter.

"Of course, om. Cleon will take care of her," Cleon replied without a doubt.

"Please don't hurt him! Chelsea's a good boy!" Julie, the mother of Chelsea, said in tears.

"Cleon won't hurt her."

"Then we approve of you" Will said.

Cleon also told both Chelsea parents to come to the proposal that he had prepared tonight. Cleon requested that Chelsea not know about his proposal. Then he left the home of Chelsea's parents.

While in the car, Cleon calls Kai, and Cleon asks for permission so that Alula can come to her application later tonight. Kai also allowed himself to come along to accompany his wife. After being allowed by Kai, Cleon immediately called Alula about the plan. Alula is very enthusiastic because soon her best friend will marry the person she loves.

Nightfall....

"The chel? Tonight I want to eat sachertorte (a typical Austrian chocolate cake). Can you accompany me?" Alula said as she called Chelsea. Alula was in charge of bringing Chelsea to the restaurant where the proposal was held.

"Al, I'm so tired today! What if tomorrow?" Chelsea answered from a phone call.

"You have the heart, Chel! Your niece would love to eat a chocolate cake from Austria. You can't let me sleep all night thinking about that chocolate cake?" Cerocos Alula to her best friend.

"Alright, Al. I'll keep you company" Chelsea finally agreed.

"That's so dong! Chel, I'll take you to your boutique, okay?"

"Pick up? Tumben once! Don't you like to drive a car?" Chelsea was astonished.

Then he asks Kai to drive his car to the Chelsea boutique. After arriving at her best friend's boutique yard, Alula immediately went outside and entered the boutique.

"Come Chel!" Alula immediately pulled Chelsea's hand towards her husband's car.

"Al, Kai's coming too?" Chelsea was astonished to see Kai in front of her.

"Of course, come on!" Alula encourages Chelsea's body to get into the car immediately. Kai just shook his head at his wife's enthusiastic behavior.

Again Chelsea felt astonished when he noticed the look of Kai and Alula. Kai wears his black suit, while Alula wears a beautiful brown dress.

"Is there an important event today?" Chelsea asked in the passenger seat.

"I told you, we're going to eat chocolate cake" Alula replied.

Before long, Kai's car stopped at a parking lot of a famous restaurant area in Birmingham.

Alula quickly got off and immediately opened the passenger seat door.

"Come on Chel! I'm afraid the cake's gone" Alula pulled Chelsea's hand so she could get out.

"Dear, careful! Don't be so agile!" Kai warned.

"What frisky? I'm not jogging" said Alula, who was busy pulling Chelsea's hand.

They immediately entered the restaurant. Again Chelsea felt awkward because what he knew in this restaurant did not provide typical Central European food. Chelsea did not see any other visitors inside the restaurant.

Alula kept pulling Chelsea towards the back of the restaurant. Behind the restaurant itself is a garden and there is a swimming pool so that guests can taste their ordered food while enjoying the scenery.

When the door opened, Chelsea widened her eyes when she saw a lot of people crowding on the edge of the pool. He saw his parents in the crowd, including Cleon's parents, Beverly's parents, Henry and Beverly. But he did not see Cleon in the crowd.

"What's this?" Chelsea asked Alula. Alula did not seem to answer the question. He immediately moved away from Chelsea and joined the others. Chelsea continued to walk towards the crowd of people who were in front of him.

"Miss, please stop!" Said a man wearing a formal suit, it looks like he is an MC. The MC came to Chelsea with a bouquet of Peony flowers.

"Miss, this is a flower for you!" The MC gave Chelsea a pink peony. Chelsea accepted the flower.

"Please give the flower to the person behind you!" MC's orders to Chelsea.

Chelsea frowned in wonder. I don't understand what is going on. He immediately turned his body towards the back. When Chelsea turned her back, she saw Cleon was struggling with a box containing a ring.

"Cleon?" Call Chelsea.

"Chel, after the time we spent together. I'm sure this feeling is a feeling of love. Let us unite our love in a marriage. Let us build a happy family, where we feel each other's joys and sorrows together, educating our children to be together. So, will you marry me?" Cleon said softly.

Chelsea bit her fingernails. He did not expect that tonight he would be proposed to by the man he loved so much.

"Cleon, what is this?" Chelsea were crying and still digesting what happened.

"I'm proposing to you. Say yes! So that I can stand up from my restful position!" Cleon laughing.

Chelsea wiped her tears. His eyes were indeed shedding tears, but his lips were endlessly carving out a happy smile.

"Receive, accept" cried the person watching them.

"I want. I really want to marry you" Chelsea nodded quickly.

Cleon immediately took Chelsea's hand and put the ring he had brought into the hands of the woman he loved. Cleon stood up and hugged Chelsea.

"Cleon, thank you!" Chelsea cried sniffling in the arms of her lover.

Everyone who was there seemed to peach and immediately went to the lovers to congratulate them.

Before long, wedding preparations were arranged. Chelsea and Cleon's parents ask them to get engaged first and get married next year. Cleon and Chelsea agree with their parents' decision.
