TSetela took a short trip, of course it made Jibril very tired. He wants to go to rest because London is still midnight.
Jibril takes a taxi to the hotel where he is staying, while Eliza returns home with Darrel. On the way to the hotel, Jibril again expresses his desire to marry Eliza. She also convinced her mother to approve of her. However, it seems that Jibril's parents can't just agree on what Jibril really wants.
Ummi Firda asked Jibril to come home first so they could talk directly, he also asked Jibril to bring Eliza if indeed Eliza wanted the same thing. Although the mother's answer was still so ambiguous, but it was enough to make Jibril feel happy, at least now he had hope for his love.
While at home, Ummi Firda told about Jibril's wishes to all members of his family. Of course they were very surprised, especially after hearing who wanted Jibril to marry. However, they knew Jibril's wish they could not about even though Eliza's family background was different from Jibril's.
After all, now the two people are already secure and faithful. However, the burden of their thinking is Eliza's own family. Will they give their blessing to Jibril and Eliza? What if they thought Jibril had influenced Eliza to change? What if they blame Jibril?
Questions arose in their minds, and now they could only wait for Jibril to come home so that they could speak more clearly and definitively.

The next day, Darrel meets Eliza who is still sleeping in her room. His sister looked very tired, of course, Eliza who now was not the Eliza who used to be. Just sleeping, waking up, eating and shopping. Now Eliza is working and doing some social activities.
Christie had told Darrel everything, of course Darrel was very surprised. He also did not believe how they could be found again after so long. And when he met, Jibril actually immediately invited Eliza to marry. Of course it can't be taken for granted by Darrel.
"Eliza?" Darrel shook Eliza's shoulder.
"Hm?" eliza pulled the blanket.
"Wake, El. There's something I want to ask you," Darrel said. Once again he shook Eliza's body, but her sister was like a fainting person. He just mumbled lazily, then allowed his sleeping position to be more comfortable.
"Damey!" darrel exclaimed again with a loud voice that made Eliza growl upset, she immediately woke up from her sleep.
"What, Darrel? I'm so tired, I'm still sleepy" grumbled Eliza.
"It's 10 o'clock, El. It's noon," cried Darrel. Eliza clucked in annoyance.
"Yes, but I'm really sleepy, Darrel. What is so important you ask? Can't you wake up later?" ketus Eliza's.
"No, it's important!" sergeant Darrel. "I want to ask about Jibril," he added, which made both Eliza's eyeballs immediately wide open.
"What else is he?" eliza asked as she yawned, she threw herself back into bed and then closed her eyes.
"He proposed to you, right? You keep accepting him? Eliza, you'd better turn down the guy" said Jibril, who left Eliza wide.
"Why?" eliza asked then in a soft voice.
"If you had a relationship with him, our family would be ashamed, Eliza. Later people think you moved because of Jibril, people will go back to talking about the dictionary as before."
Hearing Darrel's warning made Eliza immediately smile wryly. Since Eliza decided to jump in and interact with many people, they did not commit crimes like Elizabeth feared. However, there is one mistake or even the crime of people who cannot be controlled, cannot be reported or even the perpetrator is not aware that they committed the crime.
The crime is to interfere in the affairs of others, to judge the decisions of others without them knowing what lies behind someone making those decisions. For Eliza, it was a terrible crime and it might not stop.
"Even I and my Lord know the truth" Eliza answered briefly.
"Darrell..." Eliza again sat up straight, she held Darrel's arms gently, looked into her brother's eyes with meu then continued. "Whatever people say, I don't care as long as my family can understand me. And I'm sure, you, Mommy, Daddy, Chritie, you'll understand me. Will respect my decision."
Darrel took a deep breath, the life of Eliza who used to be so flat now has a lot of colors and stories. There are so many trips that Eliza traveled, even Eliza has visited some countries that Darrel has never visited so far.
"And about Jibril, I still love him" Eliza said softly. "But I wouldn't have married her if you and Mommy Daddy didn't take it" she continued. Darrel looks into the eyes of his sister, Darrel is touched by the magnitude of Eliza's love for his family even though their beliefs have been different.
"Why? The same belief you're Jibril, '" said Darrel who made Eliza chuckle.
"That's all, right? While what has always been there for me is my family, so you will still not be replaced," Eliza said with certainty.
"Why if Mommy and Daddy really don't approve of you?" ask Darrell again.
"Yes I'll pick Mommy and Daddy." Darrel smiled happily at the sister's answer. Because what they were really afraid of all this time was that someone was keeping Eliza away from them.
"Yes, now you can go to sleep again, but it would be better if you have breakfast first" Darrel later said. However, just as Eliza was about to answer suddenly the door of her room opened.
"What's up, Chris?" ask Darrel.
"Outside there are guests" Christie said with a smile.
"Oh, okay. I'll be out soon" said Darrel.
"Not for you, Honey. But Eliza's guest," said Christie who made Eliza growl.
"I'm really still sleepy Chris, told him to meet me later that afternoon, whoever it is" Eliza grumbled. He pulled the blanket over his whole body.
"Jibril Emerson, Eliza, came" said Christie, who made Eliza move again, her eyes wide open. Darrel also looked surprised to hear the news.
"I think he was serious about the proposal" Chrstie said again and it made Darrel seem to dislike it. Christie who realized that could only smile, then she said to Eliza. "Wash your face, brush your teeth and meet him, okay?"
********
Jibril tapped his finger on his thigh, for some reason now he was a little nervous and maybe this is what felt by a man who wanted to propose to his lover.
Darrel, Eliza and Christie meet him. Jibril immediately threw his friendly smile.
"What is the need, Jibril?" ask Darrel without further ado.
"Last night I talked to my parents about Eliza, they wanted me to take Eliza to them" replied Jibril who was also without further ado.
Eliza and Darrel who heard Jibril's answer could only be astonished, unlike Eliza who actually held an amused smile with Jibril's attitude that was so straight.
"Before you bring Eliza to meet your parents, I want you to meet our parents first" said Darrel who was immediately encouraged by Jibril.
"Okay, when?"
