In London, autumn has come..
Some leaves have yellowed and fallen on the ground, the leaves that were once green began to change color to yellow, brown and some are even red brick, according to the type of tree or plant.
Reva and Nico with baby R are enjoying the fall in London, they are walking around the park in the Richmond Park area, enjoying the discoloration of the leaves that began to fall.
Nico was pushing the baby stroller with berahan while occasionally joking with the baby R inside, from a distance there were some of their guards who stood guard, who kept watch, they kept a little distance for the comfort of the boss with his little family.
Elsewhere, William and Geraldine were enjoying a warm tea accompanied by cookies at a fancy restaurant while enjoying the scenery in the fall.
While Aaron himself seems so busy taking care of something, he gets word that Ericka will come to London to accompany his brother while Nico is busy taking care of his company in London.
"I got word from Rendy and his wife that he was leaving for London in a few days, accompanying Reva on vacation as well.
Are you sure you'll do it soon, here? Already told this wish of yours to Mr. Nico, maybe you need his help." Stanley told Aaron.
"No need, I have my own way.. I want to make everything memorable, and I will make great memories for the rest of my life." said Aaron.
"Make sure the application is accepted first, then you plan this it! It's a pity that it's a frenzy first don't know to be rejected," seduced Jessy.
"Of course I've made sure with all that, just prepare all this preparation." said Aaron definitely.
"Where are you going to propose to her?" ask Jessy curiously.
"I several months ago bought a bungalow on the edge of a lake that is so beautiful, around it the natural parks are so beautiful. It's perfect if we go there this fall..
Because we can enjoy the beautiful scenery around the gardens, the trees whose leaves begin to change color and the gentle wind blowing on the falling leaves, is a beautiful sight. In the lake there are also some white and beautiful Goose there, I'm sure all will be comfortable and comfortable living there." said Aaron while imagining good things that will happen later.

A few days later, as scheduled Ericka came to London. At the airport he was picked up by some of Nico's men to take him to their rest house there.
Along the way Ericka daydreams while enjoying the view of London to her sister's house, she recalls the memories of her time in London a few years ago.
When he was held captive and forced to work in a hidden factory, his friends, how are they all? He first meets Stanley and ends up meeting Aaron unexpectedly.
Until finally he managed to strengthen himself and learn a lot about life with Aaron, Stanley and Jessy here, in this city, London..
Arriving at home, he was greeted by his brother with his beloved nephew. She was treated well by some of the servants there, for some reason she felt like she had come back to her previous years with Aaron.
Where she was treated well like a young miss, as well as being with her current brother, it was unexpected that Nico's business in this city was so big that she could have a large pavilion, he said, a Mediterranean-style house with a European-style design and still English style fashion.
"Well, Ryonza is really a young master! Very cool you, already like a prince, hehe." said Ericka while watching her nephew.
Baby R is dressed by mommy and her personal fashion stylist directly with young prince-style makeup in the fall, a white lacy shirt around her neck and black trousers and mini pantofel shoes, so funny and adorable.
Some days Ericka is in London enjoying her holiday period, while baby R has her own nanny there, Reva can enjoy her vacation quietly with her child and sister.
She was so happy, being able to accompany her husband who would spend about a month there, because of Nico's busy activities, then she asked Ericka to come too.
Actually there is another purpose they invite Ericka to come, and some surprise that they will give him one day, now they are preparing the surprise party, of course without being known by Ericka.
Every now and then Ericka goes out on her own, enjoying the nostalgia of the times she was there first. He did not expect to return to this city, he walked around the block where restaurants selling food and drinks.
He passed by the restaurant where he first worked part-time, he paused for a moment trying to remember everything, from inside the restaurant there was a waiter who saw him standing not far from the door, the waiter came out and greeted him.
"Miss, would you like to stop by to try our menu?" ask the waiter to be friendly.
"Of course, it's fine." Ericka replied kindly as well.
He entered the restaurant, there were some decorations and the place changed slightly. Plus the food menu was a bit different from his memory, the pizza restaurant was turned into a halal restaurant.
"Have the restaurant owners changed? As I recall, the owner was a pizza chef and some Italian specialties, why has the menu changed?" ask Ericka curious.
"Rubber, Miss... That's been a long time, longtime owners are troubled over hiring illegal workers from illegal immigrants and treating them badly as well.
Now the owner is a Muslim, so he sells other halal foods, and he also helped the illegal workers before and made them workers in his restaurant today, um.. And that includes me" said the waiter, he looked so much younger than Ericka.
"Is it okay for you to work here? Isn't your status here, emm.." Ericka wanted to say that they were illegal workers, but it didn't feel good.
"It's okay, all the affairs of the state administration have been helped by this boss of ours, he's so nice.. Ah, it just so happens that he's here, I'll call him for a minute." said the waiter excitedly.
"Ah, no! Not like that." whereas Ericka just wanted to ask, but who knew the waiter was reacting otherwise.
Not long after the owner of the restaurant came, when he saw Ericka the owner of the restaurant immediately stopped stepping, he was a little fixated on looking at the girl, making sure that what he was seeing right now was the same person he was thinking about right now.
The owner of the restaurant walked a little faster wanting to make sure the girl was his old friend who had not heard from him for a long time.
"Ericka?! Are you Ericka?!" someone mentioned his name, making Ericka a little surprised and turned her head around.
"Gosh, are you Annie? My pal?!" Ericka was no less surprised.
"What are you doing here?!" ask Ericka speechless.
"I should have asked, what are you doing here? Haha!" Annie asked back while laughing.
"I'm on vacation here, and I've met my brother. Do you work here?" ericka asked, then she saw the waiter behind Annie who looked surprised that Ericka knew her boss.
"Tell it like that, hehe." Annie replied ambiguously.
"Madam, this is what I said earlier." whispered the waiter to Annie, and a little was heard by Ericka.
"OMG, it turns out you're the owner of this restaurant!" Ericka was really surprised to find out if the first friend of the struggle had been this successful.
"No, but my husband.. He is a Muslim, yes! Have you met Belinda? He now lives with us, I force him to stay with me. I don't want to leave her alone in a nursing home, and my husband agrees!" annie said to me.
"You know her, we'll meet again later and you'll find out by then." Annie said.
"Who is he, do I know him?" ask Ericka.
Annie only nodded in embarrassment, Ericka really did get a very unexpected surprise today, where she had been reunited with her old friend, had she not entered this restaurant, maybe he'll never know where his friend is.
.
.
A few days later, Nico and Reva get an invitation from Nico's business friend to attend an autumn party at his friend's Bungalow.
"You come along too Ericka, at least if Nico and I have to say hello to the other guests, you can take care of Ryonza!" reva said relax.
"Ish, I was invited just to be Ryonza's babysitter! You guys are guests, why bother with everything?!" ericka Protest.
"What has an event is his business friend Nico, and who came also must be our business partners who certainly know each other, already! Anyway you should come along, and put on the dress I've prepared!" reva said, more precisely his order.
Want not to want Ericka to wear the dress and come with them, actually there is a little peculiarity that she feels, if in fact she comes along why should wear a dress as luxurious as this, so, moreover, her babysitter Ryonza also came, a bit strange according to her..
.
They headed to the bungalow where the party was done, they passed through some beautiful National parks, and saw there were some deer roaming the area there, making Ericka a little entertained.
They have reached the park, in front of it there is a large lake and there are some Goose swimming in the lake, what a beautiful view.
The party was an outdoor concept, in the garden next to the Bungalow in front of it was a fairly large lake, decorated with some beautiful and elegant decorations, some beautiful flowers on display there.
Ericka was invited by Reva to enter the Bungalow on the grounds of helping her tidy up her clothes, but her own clothes according to Ericka was not problematic, but she just complied.
Reva brought Ericka into a room quite spacious, but strangely it was not a room or bathroom, but a room designed for someone, because the room had a round table with two chairs, there was a beautiful candle already lit, and a cake decorated with beautiful carvings and inscribed his name.
"Sister, what does this mean?" ericka asked not to understand.
As he looked back, he saw Aaron standing not far from Reva. They smiled meaningfully, then without saying anything Reva left the two in the room.
"Aaron, what is this? Is this party you made and all this?" Ericka though surprised to see Aaron was there but she still wanted to ask about all this.
"Ericka, listen to me.. Sit down, so you're a little more relaxed and less tense, you want a drink first?" bargain Aaron, he poured tea water into a beautiful porcelain cup in front of Ericka.
The girl looked confused, still digesting what was happening. Now he feels he is doing a tea party in the style of the British empire alone.
"I'm sorry in advance if this has all surprised you, but me and the others have prepared this all day long to welcome you..
Ericka, I apologized earlier if I couldn't speak beautiful words and couldn't string romantic words together to convince you of how I felt about you..
Emm, don't you mind if I take you downstairs?" aaron asked cautiously, for quite a while he waited for the girl's answer after being looked at carefully by Ericka.
"Can't! I'm not your bride so you can go down to the floor carrying me while carrying me" Ericka said firmly.
"I know, do I need to make a newlywed you want? Hehe, I'm sorry if my request was excessive. Em, I just close your eyes.. I want to surprise you downstairs." said Aaron.
Ericka nodded in agreement, she was sure that it was not easy for Aaron and the others to prepare this all for her, so it was not wrong for her to follow her wishes, anyway it was not a difficult thing to do.
Ericka came downstairs with her eyes closed, she walked carefully with Aaron. Now that they were outside, Aaron led him to a stage facing many people.
Then carefully Aaron opened Ericka's blindfold, the girl breezed open her eyes and was surprised by what was in front of her at the moment.
In addition there is Reva and Nico also baby R, there is also Rendy and Andriana, whether from when they arrived. There is also William and Geraldine and Erick, there is aunty Sonia, Stacy and om Seno who seemed to chat with Richard while Azka seemed to be looking at Stacy.
Apparently not enough there surprise, next to Jessy and Stanley, there are some friends first. The twins Setella and Stelly, and there were also comrades in arms when he was still confined in the illegal factory owned by Mr. Robert first.
Annie stood next to Belinda, behind her was Zain hugging her from behind, wait a minute.. Is Zain Annie's husband? It seems like so, it also looks like there is Zahrah with Ayumi, but Hiro is not there, does he really leave Ayumi, I don't know..
While not far from them, there was Malika with Marco they looked friendly, it seemed like something had happened in their hearts, and some people he knew as well.
Ericka cried tears of joy at seeing the people closest to her being there, the people who cared about her, and the people who were truly sincere with her.
Then, Aaron pulled him to walk onto the stage and suddenly knelt down in front of him, he took the ring box out of his suit pocket, and took out a diamond ring and faced Ericka.
"Ericka Victoria bint the late Dewantoro Wijaya, do you want to marry me and be my companion for the rest of your life, until we age together?" pinta Aaron was nervous.
Ericka was silent for a moment, she did not know what to say, this was completely out of her estimation, she stared at everyone waiting for anxious hope. He turned his head towards his two older brothers, Reva and Rendy nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Ericka became relieved, at least her relationship was blessed and sure she would be happy, not wait any longer, she immediately answered her question Aaron.
The cup!
Everyone was shocked including Aaron himself, Ericka gave an answer with a kiss on the man's lips, Aaron's face immediately blushed, while Reva and Nico were busy covering the baby R's eyes with what they saw, the baby still doesn't understand anything.
While others look tempting both of them as well as congratulate the two, with the trembling hand Aaron put the ring to his ring finger Ericka.
Everyone seems happy to be together on a very special day for them.
"Mother, my job is done looking after your youngest.. Now live quietly with your father there," said Reva in his heart as he wiped his tears.
While Rendy was still looking at her two sisters, those who had been struggling together with her were now both happy and found the meaning of their lives..
