"Sir, what do you want to meet me here?" Rossie asked as they met at the restaurant they had been to before.
"Rossie, I want to have a serious talk with you!" August looked at Rossie's eyes intently.
"Master why?" Rossie looked confused.
"Will you marry me?" August spoke nervously.
"Master your joke isn't funny!" Rossie responded to August in disbelief.
"Seriously, I love you, will you marry me?" August grabs Rossie's hand on the table.
"But sir, that's impossible!" Rossie tried to think with common sense. Seen from any point of view, it is still impossible.
"Listen to me, this may sound like a joke, but believe me, since I first knew you I admired you so much, the more days I got close to you, the more my love grew, I can't imagine what it would be like to be away from you!" August tightened his hand.
"But sir..." Rossie hesitates, although Rossie has the same feelings but he realizes that he does not deserve August.
"I know what you're afraid of, but trust me, anything I'll do to fight for my love for you!" August said it seriously.
"My master..." Rossie was at a loss for words.
"My father is setting me up with a girl of his choice, but I don't want to marry any woman other than you, if you accept my love, I will fight as hard as I can!" August stared at the face of the girl he loved.
"Will you be my companion until my old age and be the mother of my children?" bad again.
Rossie was completely speechless, he could only nod although there was still a bit of hesitation in him.
"Thank you!" August kissed Rossie's hand.
"I know it won't be easy, it will be hard to conquer my father's heart, but trust me, just listen to me and never doubt me let alone get out of my life!" August assures his love.
After being able to convince Rossie that he will fight, August asks Rossie to prepare with all the worst possibilities including the possibility that they will be expelled from the Peteroy family home.
..........
"What do you mean?" Grand master Peteroy breaks down his desk when August brings Rossie to his front.
"We love each other dad!" August convinced his father.
"I will never condone this relationship, after all I've paired you with a more deserving girl!" The great master Peteroy looked at Rossie coldly.
"I'll never want to!" August fight.
"I don't want your treasure, I just want your blessing!" August pleaded on his knees.
"You prove who you are, you are not my flesh and blood, however hard I am to form you you still can't be a true Peteroy!" The great master spilled all his annoyance.
"Dad!!!!" The big madam who had been silent immediately shouted when her husband had spoken over the line.
"You still want to defend him? did you forget that he's not your son?" The great master shouted furiously.
"Enough! enough's enough!! all this time I kept quiet because I cherish you as a husband who can embrace even though sometimes I don't agree with you! but not this time, you are already beyond your limits, big master! I'm fed up!" The hysterical big lady.
"You!!!!" The great master was already unable to control his emotions anymore, he then walked out of his study.
"Mother!?" August was surprised by the attitude his mother showed.
"Go, son, I bless you, ignore your father, live happily!" The big madam unites August and Rossie's hands.
"Mrs!" Rossie could no longer hold back her tears.
"I leave my son to you, be happy with him, never make him sad, live in happiness!" Mom stroked Rossie's hair and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you mom" August hugged her tightly.
"Keep this well, this is my blessing for you two!" Mother took off three keroncong bracelets made of white gold from her hands.
"Thank you madam, I promise to make your young master happy" Rossie bowed her promise.
"Go now!" Mother shed tears.
"Come on!" August took Rossie away.
"But!?" Rossie looked at the mother who was crying alone.
"Come!!!" August pulls Rossie out.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, August hugs Rossie who is still shaken to calm down.
"Done all your stuff, we're leaving right now!" August gave instructions.
"Where are we going?" ask Rossie.
"You'll find out after this!" August used his smile to cover up his sadness.
