Els was speechless at Ravin's statement that she wanted to be made a wife. Els still did not believe what Ravin said, he was also confused as to what to react to.
"Fine is fine, right? did you feel something hurt? or..."
"I'm fine, why?"
"For I heard you talking strangely" said Els.
"Any? strange as what?"
"I heard you wanted to get married again, and you wanted to marry me. Or my ears are..."
"Els.." insisted Ravin.
"Yes Sir..."
"Ckk, stop calling me Father, I'm not that old" she protested.
"All right, sir" Els changed her call.
"Not Sir either"
"Then I'm har..."
"Call Me"
"M..mma...mas?" surprised Els. "But..."
"No buts, my decision is final" Ravin did not want to be denied.
"Well sir uh... Mas" errat Els.
"So how?" ask Ravin.
"What's how sir uh, I mean Mas"
"I want to marry you Els, are you willing to be my wife and Mother to Ciara?" Ravin looked at Els' beautiful eyes, making the woman lower her face.
"Why should I pack emm.....Mas?"
"To be honest I don't love you Els yet" said Ravin, Els raising her face. "But as I said earlier, I want my second marriage to be my last and forever" Ravin said.
"It means that my intention to marry you is really, not playful because marriage is not a game. I feel comfortable with you, and most importantly Ciara loves you even more she loves you than her real mother. Everything I do is for Ciara, but I really hope to build a happy family, of course with you" explained Ravin.
"Sir.emm. Especially with the failures that occurred in my previous household, I am not ready if it should be destroyed and disappointed again" said Els considering what happened between her and Arya at that time.
"What scares you?" Ravin does not give up, Ravin is sure if his failure and Els can be repaired.
"I...."
"Speak casually Els, let's just say I'm your friend"
"I'm afraid of being disappointed again, I'm afraid that if the happiness I dream of destroys others, I'm afraid of being blamed, I'm afraid of being rendered useless, I'm afraid that someone demands to be perfect, i'm scared..." Els was unable to tell all her fear, now there were only tears drenching her cheeks.
"Els, if I don't love you right now, but trust me in the future I will try to love you. I don't promise you a happy and perfect life, but I promise I'll always be by your side, when you need a hug, I'll hold you tight, when you need to lean, when you need to lean, I'll give you my shoulder, when you want to complain and tell a story, both of my ears are ready to listen. I'm not a romantic man, nor am I a sensitive man, but I won't get angry if you reprimand me when my words or behavior hurt you" Ravin let out a long sigh.
"But, I'm not a perfect woman"
"Then do you think I'm the perfect guy?"
"Of course, it's proven by the presence of Ciara"
"Els, I'm not a man who demands that a wife should get pregnant and give birth even though I don't have Ciara. Getting married means living a life together with a partner, loving each other, loving, respecting, cherishing, aging together until the end of life. The child was a bonus, a sustenance from God that we cannot force" Ravin's explanation made Els stunned, did Ravin really think so?.
"You don't have to believe my words, but you can prove them later" Ravin said calmly.
"I don't know what to answer?" Els lowered her head.
"Els, I'm not much different from you. I was also afraid of failure, and disappointed. But the feeling of wanting to live my happy life is greater than my fear, I ventured to step forward to achieve happiness ahead there. Will we accompany me? let us walk together to achieve happiness, even though we do not love each other, because happiness does not have to be with the person we love, but happiness is created when we are with the right person" Ravin held out his hand in front of Els' face.
And as hypnotized, Ravin's words were like a spell that Els could not resist, without even realizing that Els' hand was stretched out to welcome Ravin's hand.
"Thank you for being willing to accept me, and walk with me, I hope we can find the happiness we're looking for" said Ravin pinning the ring on Els' ring finger.
"Yes..." Els was surprised not to play.
"Trust me" Ravin assured Els, before the woman protested.

Ravin did not stop smiling in the room. His mission to propose to Els has been completed perfectly even with a little coercion. But whatever Ravin does is not a figment, there is good intentions and sincerity is also a great hope to return to have a happy family, by having Els as his wife, that would complete the happiness of the Ravin family.
"I promise I won't waste you Els" Ravin murmured looking at the photo of Els he secretly took.
"I hope this week we have officially become a married couple" hoped Ravin, imagined the sighting of Els this afternoon.
"It seems like I've gone crazy" Ravin shook his head expelling his dirty thoughts. "But this is very natural, because I can't be crazy" Ravin monologued.
In Ciara's room, the little girl had already fallen asleep when Els came, and until now Els could not even close her eyes. Els's eyeball kept staring at a ring that was coiled on her ring finger, now Els' ring finger is no longer empty.
"Is my decision right to start a married life with Mas Ravin?" Els is not sure, to be honest Els is not sure, but all Ravin's words seem to have magical powers.
"But me and Mas Ravin are very different, Mas Ravin is rich, smart and handsome" Els unknowingly praised the handsome Ravin. "Will me? just a farm boy, who works as a baby sitter. Would Mas Ravin not be ashamed to have a wife like me?" Els is getting less confident.
"Bu Nunik, who wasn't very rich just treated me like that" Els' memory floated on her former mother-in-law. "Then how are Mas Ravin's parents? who has the perfect handsome son, is young, good job. No. No, I can't be Mas Ravin's wife. I don't want to be insulted and humiliated anymore" Els's real fear of past bad events is repeated.
"I have to say everything to Mas Ravin tomorrow" the break up Els sure rejects Ravin. The bad shadow came back dancing in her eyes.
