Three days was short for Gio. Today she will meet Ana and her family to propose to her lover. There was a sense of uneasiness at the thought of that.
"Gio, is everything ready?" For just entering Gio's room without knocking on him.
"Huufth..." Instead of answering, he took his breath.
"Why?"
"It's okay. I just feel bad."
"Calm down. Everything's gonna be fine. They'll accept you like we received Ana."
"But I don't know all of Ana's family. Just his Mom and Grandma. While Ana, a lot of our family knows about her and likes her."
"Ck. You are, you think too much. This is still a proposal event not a wedding. Oh yeah, did you have the ring ready?"
"It." He answered, showing the chicin he bought to propose to Ana. "Oh yeah, is Viko back?"
"She's been on a trip with Dad, Grandma and Grandpa."
"Thank God. The kid is really stubborn. I told him to ask Ben to help me pick up Grandpa Grandma's dad. But he's the one who picked me up."
"Had to pick him up himself. You told him to tell Ben. He's still scared of Ben."
"Fearful?"
"Yes. Like a minor trauma from Ben's incident that punished your abductee at the time."
"God... I really don't know."
"Yes already. I'm out first." Because he patted Gio's shoulder slowly, then came out of the man's room. He went straight to his room and Alula. There, Alula was playing with Alisha in bed.
"Have you met Gio?" Because nodding. He lifted Alisha's body, then chewed Alisha's cheeks using her nose. Making the child chuckle and hold Gara's face with her tiny hands.
"Hehehe... Father." Alisha.
He turned his face away and looked at Alula. "Gio said deg-degan. She had never met Ana's family. Except for Mom and Grandma."
"That's natural. I'm sure everything will go well." Reply Alula. "Ahh, I remember when you proposed to me first. If Gio deg-degan and afraid of not being accepted by Ana's extended family, then you are the opposite. You are neither scared nor scared. Even if my family doesn't like it, the application will still force you to run smoothly." Alula.
It made Gara look at him then hug his waist tightly. He brought his face closer to Alula's ears. "Are you forced to accept my proposal and marry me?"
Alula gave a smile and turned to Gara. Make the noses touch each other. Alula cupped both of Gara's cheeks, then pressed their eyebrows together. He gave a sweet smile to Gara.
"I never felt compelled to accept your proposal and marry you. To be yours and to have children is the most beautiful thing God has given me."
The one who heard it felt a warmth in his heart. He kissed Alula on the forehead and then carried the woman in his arms. He looked at his daughter and smiled at her.

Everything was neat and gathered in the living room. Ginanjar and Grandma arrived a few hours ago. Now they gathered to go to Ana's house.
"Same grandmother Grandpa was so happy to hear you were going to propose to Ana. Grandma liked. She's a nice, cheerful woman."
"Thank you, Grandma."
"Is everything complete, Gio? Nothing left behind?" Ginanjar asked, looking at her son.
"Yes, Dad. Everything is complete."
Ginanjar nodded at his son's reply. "Yes already. Come on, let's go!"
Everyone rushed out of the house. Gio's one car with Ginanjar, Viko and Grandpa Grandma. And Gara, as always. He was with his small family.
30 Minutes away, they arrive at Ana's house. Ana, who had not been far from the door of the house, quickly opened it. Making his family who watched chuckle together see his behavior.
"Welcome, uncle." Ana's greeting makes Ginanjar stop his steps.
"You still call me uncle? Soon you will be my son-in-law. Call Daddy." Ginanjar.
"All right, A-dad." Answer Ana, shyly. Make everyone smile.
"Come, sir!" Ana's mother, who also welcomed them, invited them to the living room. There, there are several more Ana's family, including her grandmother. They stood up and shook the hands of their new family.
"Welcome, sir, madam."
Everyone back down. Gio looked so quiet. Unlike Ana who keeps smiling sweetly, and occasionally steals a glance at Gio.
"In accordance with our promise today. We came here to propose to the daughter of this family to be the wife of my son, Gio." Ginanjar. He looked at his son who had been looking down since.
"Gio!" The man quickly looked up.
"Yes, Dad?" The answer.
"Come, talk!"
Ginanjar's orders, made Gio stare nervously one by one Ana's family. "I-i... I'm actually really nervous." He said without shame. Make everyone present smile.
"I'm nervous about dealing with all of you. Except Ana and mom are also grannies. I think I'm more nervous dealing with you than saying a proposal for Ana."
"God... What are you saying, son?" Said one of Ana's uncles. "Are you nervous for fear that we won't agree if you're with Ana?" Gio speechless.
"Listen, boy! Although we never met you, Ana always presented you in front of us with all your stories of kindness and sincerity." Typhoon Aunt Ana.
"Gio! Listen Mum! We're all grateful, Ana got a nice guy like you, regardless of all your background. We'd be happy if Ana was happy too." Said Ana's mother, smiling.
Gio who heard it breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled awkwardly while scratching his nape that did not itch.
"Dad!" Call Gio. "I'm sorry if I doubt your family." His words were answered by nodding Ana.
"lapsus. I'm here with my family to propose to you. Are you willing to be my wife?"
Ana smiled and nodded her head. "I'm willing." His word.
Gio immediately pulled out their engagement ring and put it on Ana. After that, they congratulated each other.
"Congratulations, Ana!" Alula told her best friend. Ana nodded and immediately hugged him.
"Thank you, Alula."
"I always wish you the best. Praying for you to be happy. And in the end your happiness is Gio. I'm grateful you got a nice guy like him. I feel calmer."
"Thank you for worrying about me."
Alula let go of his embrace. "I did something a friend was supposed to do. Wasn't it! Not just friends, but brothers. You always do the same for me."
"I'm lucky to have you as your best friend and brother, Alula."
"I'm lucky to have you too."
Everyone who watched smiled. Their friendship was long established. Even like a brother.
"Aunty! Quickly set the date of the wedding. After that, we can stay together." Celtap Darrel.
"I agree." Darren Timpal.
Everyone looked towards the twins with a gentle look. The two children seemed to be very close to Ana.
"Darren, Darrell! Can grandma get me some more cake?" Said Mother Ana. He remembered that the two children liked the pastry so much when Gio invited him to the house.
"Is there still?" Ask Darrel.
"Still."
"Well, I want Nek."
"Yes, Grandma get it first." Ana's mother rushed to the kitchen and picked it up. He came back and gave it to the twins.
"Thank you, Grandma." The twins spoke together.
Alisha who was in Gara's lap moved her body. "Dad. Tulun." His words made Gara forced to lower it. The boy grabbed the cake, then walked straight to Ana. Raising her hand asked Ana to hold her. And ends with Alisha being carried alternately by Ana's family.
Because I can only breathe. If Alula had not grasped tightly her hand as a gesture, she would have definitely carried Alisha in her lap back.
