after having a bath and breakfast with his small family, Carlos and Elisha come to the parish office.
the parish of the garland hall is the parish where Elisha is recorded as a Catholic there .
elisa and Carlos came to the Parish office to register their marriage.
and, because of the conditions needed to be a prospective Catholic husband and wife, everything is complete.
although, currently Carlos and Elisha have been recorded as prospective brides.
but there are still more obstacles that they have to go through.
in Catholicism, after the marriage registration file is complete.
both brides must be
through the second stage of marriage.
canonical, is the stage where both prospective brides, must take the wedding course.
at the time of the canonical implementation, the two brides will be aired about the purpose, why the two brides choose to marry.
asked about when they knew each other.
and whether the two are sincere in loving the couple/there is no compulsion in this marriage.
and do they promise to live and live, to love each other in joy and sorrow until death separates this married couple.
because according to the teachings of the Catholic religion 'which has been united by God, can not be separated by humans'.
so here married once in a lifetime.
here is also an explanation of the Catholic religion.
and for Carlos who is a Muslim, also he will get directions on how to pray.
after all the conditions have been successfully fulfilled, then the wedding was announced for three consecutive weeks at the church, before the wedding was held.
this provision, made by the church to give time to think for both sides of the family to think carefully about the seriousness of the marriage that will be carried out by both prospective brides.
and if there is a family party or one of the bride-to-be who intends to cancel this marriage, then the marriage is canceled.
in Catholicism there are many conditions that must be met before marriage.
all these rules, deliberately made to mean, anyone who is officially married religiously catholic, should not be divorced by humans.
there is no divorce in a Catholic marriage.
therefore, both prospective brides must be sure that they both really love and love each other.
they also swear to be faithful forever.

after the second affair was over, Carlos and Elisha went straight to Elisha's house.
now, they just have to wait for when the schedule for the two of them to do the canonical.
once at home, Elisa and Carlos cook lunch.
today, Elisa is back cooking Carlos' menu.
balado eggs, Toegoe sauteed tofu same fried chicken krispi and goldfish pindang.
at the time of cooking, Carlos teased Elisa.
"sadly, this was the time before the pastor, when we registered our marriage.
why do you look so nervous?"
carlos asked Elisha.
"i'm not nervous."
elisha answered briefly, without looking at Carlos in the slightest.
"great. but I saw for myself that you were very nervous "
carlos said as he approached Elisha.
"i was actually a little nervous"
"why...?"
carlos asked, and he took Elisha's right hand.
"because I'm afraid, our marriage file is rejected, considering you are from a foreign country and from a Muslim family"
elisha answered, then he turned his body to face Carlos.
"why should it be rejected...?"
"my files are all complete, I'm a foreigner."
"but I'm not an illegal immigrant.I've got permission to come
to this country I have my passport and other papers"
carlos answered, holding both of Elisha's cheeks.
"that's not all I think about "
"then..what are you thinking?"
"i fear that our marriage will be rejected because it is very difficult for a Muslim to marry a Christian. I'm afraid you didn't give the right answer when asked by the pastor about you preferring to convert, following the religion I profess."
answer Elisha.
flash back of
Carlos recalls the incident this morning, where he was asked by the priest about the choice he had to become a Christian.
"what is your reason for choosing to be a Christian."
ask the priest to Carlos.
"since I was a child, I have loved Catholicism because my mother was also a Catholic. So since I was a child, I have often joined my grandmother in church. but I was born into a Muslim family."
carlos replied, then he took a deep breath, then exhaled back slowly.
"so when I chose to have a relationship with Elisha, I was determined to become a catholic after I married Elisha, and there was no compulsion for me to choose to be a catholic.This decision, he said, I take it on my own will"
carlos answered, to a priest who received the marriage dossier of him and Elisha.
the pastor, hearing Carlos' reply, nodded his head and immediately agreed with Carlos's reason for being a Catholic.
because according to the priest, the answer from Carlos is very convincing.
flash back on
"honey...."
said Elisha who was astonished by the sudden dreamy attitude of Carlos.
"yes... What's wrong?"
carlos asked with his guggub, because he thought he was daydreaming.
"what's wrong with you.., why are you daydreaming?"
ask Elisha.
"i'm not daydreaming.I'm just happy...."
"i'm happy, because now I realize that you love me so much that you're afraid of losing me, if our marriage file isn't accepted."
carlos replied, she smiled seductively ...
"don't tease me...."
elisha said, with a red face. Elisha was so embarrassed, when he listened to Carlos saying 'it turns out you love me so much, that you fear losing me'.
"honey, sorry...".
"i didn't mean to tease you, but I'm also glad that our wedding plans were made easy by God"
carlos said, bringing Elisha into his arms.
she did not want Elisha to sulk at her, because she was always teasing her.
at the moment Carlos and Elisha are very happy, because everything is going well.
Carlos and Elisha hugged for quite a while.

they had almost forgotten that they were both cooking.
"mama...."
call Felicia who just came home from ice cream with her two brothers.

Carlos who didn't want his embrace let go.
immediately kissed Elisha's lips at a glance.
then whisper.
"I love you. baby "
said Carlos, who greeted Elisha with a sweet smile, without answering said Carlos. because he saw Felicia was running towards him.
"come here, baby..."
carlos said, both hands he deliberately stretched.
Felicia immediately went into Carlos' arms for some reason, Felicia was happy to be spoiled for Carlos.
apparently, he was very happy with Carlos' loving attitude.
Elisha could only smile happily at the closeness of his children with Carlos.
elisha then continued cooking their lunch.
