Farhan got out of the car, he was accompanied by his mother and Erik.
Mr. James and Ms. Tatiana were seen welcoming their arrival at the door.
"Welcome home, Farhan" said Mr. James, hugging Farhan.
"Come in, please", Ms. Tatiana let Farhan and her family in.
Now they have sat in the main room with a very slick room decoration and classic but memorable luxury.
"Please sit down and once again, welcome to our home. I'm James Morris and this is my wife, Tatiana Cassandra Morris", Mr. James introduced her family.

"Oh never mind, Farhan. We are delighted to meet Mrs Asri and Erik", Mr James replied kindly.
"I'm sorry to call Elena. Please enjoy the dish, even though it is a family event but we just relax ok?", said Ms Tatiana before she went inside.
Tok.shock.
"Honey, are you ready? Farhan and his family were here. We're waiting you", Ms. Tatiana called Elena who was still in her room.
Elena took a breath many times, there was a nervousness in her heart. He looked back at himself in the mirror, it was neat.
"Ok mom, I'm coming" Elena replied.
He came out of his room shyly.
"Oh my god, you're looks pretty, dear" said Ms Tatiana when she saw Elena's graceful look in Indonesian kebaya.
Elena smiled, she then stepped with her mother towards the living room. The closer the room got, the more his heart was pounding.
Asri, Farhan, and Erik were chatting with James when Elena and her mother arrived.
"Elena has come" said Mrs Tatiana to break the excitement of the conversation between Mr. James and the Farhan family.
Farhan turned his head, looking towards the arrival of Elena and her mother. She was really fascinated by the appearance of Elena who wore a typical Indonesian kebaya with a simple Balinese hairdo. Two graceful combinations.
"Crazy Han, your beautiful full-fledged wife" whispered Erik in Farhan's ear.
Farhan smiled hearing that.
"Come here, dear" said Mr. James as he patted the empty space next to him. Elena was still bowing her head, now she was sitting next to her father and mother.
"This is our beloved daughter, her name is Elena Morris", Mr. James introduced Elena to the Farhan family.
"You're looks pretty. I am Asri, Farhan's mother", Ms. Asri introduced herself to Elena whom Elena answered with a smile and a small nod, then she kissed Ms. Asri's hand as a sign of respect.
"Oh yes, this is Erik, Farhan's cousin" Ms Asri continued. Elena glanced at Erik who was smiling sweetly at her.
"Ok, we can start the show yes" said Mr. James.
Everyone who was a nuclear family, nodded, hastening the proposal event.
"As my father and mother knew, the purpose of my arrival and my family here was to propose to Elena. Are father, mother and Elena willing to accept my proposal?", Farhan opened his voice, trying to calm down even though his heart was actually pounding.
Mr. James and Ms. Tatiana smiled at Farhan's seriousness to her daughter.
"My wife and I are very happy and welcome to Farhan's intentions. I don't know Elena, how about you, honey?", asked Mr. James to see Elena who had begun to dare to look at everyone in the room.
Elena's two hands rested on each other, holding a thump in her heart.
"Yes, I'm willing to accept Farhan's proposal" he replied quickly.
Everyone who heard the answer seemed happy. Ms. Asri then pairs the ring on Elena's ring finger as a sign of her bond with Farhan.
"If allowed, I hope Farhan and Elena's wedding can be done immediately, sir, ma'am", said Bu Asri looking at Mr. James and Ms. Tatiana after he put the ring.
"If I agree, ma'am. It is not good if it is too long postponed", replied Ms Tatiana accompanied by a nod to Mr. James' head.
"What if in three months' time we do the marriage?", asked Mr. James, who was approved by Farhan and his mother.
After the core event was over, they also enjoyed lunch along with many light talks to get to know each other more deeply between families.
"Oh yes, sorry, if you may know the procession will be carried out by Islamic law or.", said Bu Asri hanging.
"Islam mom. Our family is blessed to be Muslim, after I married Tatiana, my wife, I decided to convert and Elena was a Muslim" replied Mr. James, understanding the meaning of Ms. Asri's question.
Ms. Asri smiled, "Alhamdulillah if it is like that, sir. Once again apologize if I dare to ask that, because related to belief is important for the future".
"Well ma'am, we will marry our children, we should have been open to each other from now on about many things" Ms Tatiana replied with a friendly smile.
In the midst of the conversation, Farhan and Elena chose silence to calm their hearts, occasionally stealing glances from each other. Erik who also chose as a listener witnessed that.
"After eating, how about we all take pictures first?", Erik bargained to everyone.
Finally, after the meal was ready, Elena's family and Farhan's family captured their moment together with a photo.
'Finally I propose to you, one more step, I will have you whole, El', whispered little heart Farhan with a loving look at Elena.
