The day of application arrives. As agreed, both families will wear batik and kebaya. Although it was only a meeting of the two families, but Alila and Dimas planned everything carefully. They want the event to be memorable and memorable.
Even Dimas deliberately asked Alano for help to invite his friend who is a photographer to come and capture the application event.
After returning from her parents' house outside the city last week, Dimas who drove Alila home immediately informed Alila's parents about the planned arrival of his family to propose to Alila.
Be the last week the Alila family is busy preparing everything for the family proposal today.
In her room, Alila was ready with batik cloth and a dark blue modern kebaya that was specially prepared for today's event. The batik cloth wrapped beautifully on the lower body is uniform with a shirt that will be worn Dimas later. While the kebaya worn by Alila is her own choice because she wants to adjust to the favorite color of her future husband.
At exactly ten in the morning, two cars belonging to Dimas and his parents stopped in the yard of Alila's parents' house. Shortly after, from the car Dimas out three people who were none other than Dimas and his parents, papa Yudhi and mama Kirana. And from the other car there are Darma, Indira and baby Sekar.
They were all greeted by Alila's parents, Dewa's father and Dian's mother Alano. The entire Dimas family is then welcome to enter and sit in the living room which has been nicely laid out for today's event.
"We welcome you and your family. Thank you for making time for us to all gather today."
Papa Dewa started the event with a short speech that was answered directly by papa Yudhi.
"Thank you for the kind welcome given by the family of Father and Mother for our arrival here. I'm sorry that we only brought the only hand."
After that, the two families began to talk and introduce each other to their family members. Until finally the existence of Alila who has not been seen was asked by Dimas' parents.
"Where is our son-in-law? How not seen from before." Ask Mama Kirana impatiently.
"He was still waiting in his room. I'll call you in a minute."
Mama Dian immediately moved from her seat to pick up her favorite daughter.
Alila who was ready immediately stood up as soon as Mama Dian came to pick her up. He tried to smile even though his heart had been pounding ever since.
Although the only ones present at this event were their two families, still the nervousness could not be hidden.
"Come, Al. Everyone is waiting for you."
Mama Dian also smiled and held her favorite daughter. There was a sense of haru tucked in his heart considering that soon the princess will belong to the man of her choice.
"Come, Ma. Don't hug me, I'll cry.."
Alila clasped her mother's hand tightly and the two of them stepped out of her room towards the living room.
Arriving at the threshold of the living room, all who were there suddenly turned their eyes to the beautiful figure who came with the mother.
Dimas who met every day, was immediately fixated on staring at the beautiful face that was still standing in place. Highlight his eyes could not lie if he was admiring Alila's appearance this time.
"Ehemm.., ahemm..!!"
Darma deliberately throbs hard to tease his brother who is still not blinking staring at his future wife. While the others began to turn to pay attention to Dimas's eyes to Alila which made him seem to forget the existence of the people around him.
"Something seems to be getting more and more fascinated with his own future wife.."
Papa Yudhi did not want to lose to interfere with his youngest child to make the others smile.
Alila was embarrassed. Shame from Dimas's eyes on her, and shame that the others were also paying attention to him.
Mama Dian took Alila to sit down. Just as Dimas was sitting beside his parents, Alila was also sitting between Papa Dewa and mama Dian.
"alright. Since everything is already here, we can start to talk about our daughter's wedding plans."
Papa Dewa began their core event, which was to discuss the implementation of the marriage of Dimas and Alila. But Papa Yudhi interjected for a moment to ask Alila a question.
"Before we discuss anything else, once again I would like to ask my future daughter-in-law."
Alila immediately focused her attention on Papa Yudhi.
"Alila, did you accept Dimas's proposal to marry you?"
"Yes, I accept it."
Alila answered briefly with a trembling voice as nervousness mixed with happiness. Opposite him, Dimas smiled faintly staring at Alila's two eyes with a trembling heart.
After that, Papa Dewa again led the meeting and continued the conversation regarding the wedding plans of Dimas and Alila.
"According to their request, the wedding will be held on Alila's birthday. And according to their request, the event will be held simply."
Discussion for the sake of discussion continues to be developed by both parties. Finally an agreement was reached that the marriage and thanksgiving agreement would be implemented in the afternoon after Ashar until before Maghrib.
For the venue of the event, the parents still ask to be held in the building that has been determined together. Dimas and Alila have also chosen to use the services of a wedding organizer so as not to bother both families.
Since both big families were from the same city, there was no need to prepare lodging for them. Enough to provide uniform fabric for the entire extended family, which was prepared by Dimas and Alila a few days ago, and just delivered to their respective homes.
"Well, just one week has passed turns out you two have prepared everything quickly huh.."
This time Darma really salute and praise the readiness of his sister and prospective sister-in-law in preparing for their marriage.
"Maclum, sis. It seems like they can't wait another two months.."
Alano looked at Darma, this time as if he had made a new friend to judge his brother and sister-in-law. His nosiness was the same as Darma.
After the main conversation is over and interspersed with joking between families, it's time to have lunch together.
Mama Dian has invited everyone to go to the dining table that has been prepared in such a way with the help of two friends of Mama Dian's side.
But before anyone moved from his place, Dimas suddenly stood up and asked for a little time to convey something.
After that, Dimas took out a small rectangular box of dark blue velvet from his pants pocket. His eyes were only fixed on the beautiful woman who had been sitting opposite him, bordering a table of dishes between the two families.
Before he began to speak, Dimas handed the box he had brought to Alila.
"Open up, Al."
With trembling hands and a pounding heart, Alila accepted and opened it. That instant also her beautiful eyes glazed over and her sweet lips were powerless to speak.
"Alila, if I had pinned my ring on your ring finger, then today coincides with the meeting of our two families, allow me to put a simple necklace around your neck, as a sign of my seriousness to propose to you and make you my wife."
Instantly, the atmosphere filled the room. No one knew of this in advance because Dimas had indeed deliberately hidden his plan. He wanted to give a special surprise to Alila.
Without wasting any more time, Alila nodded her head. He smiled and returned Dimas's eyes with a happy twinkle.
Dimas walked slowly around the table and stopped right in front of Alila who was already standing waiting for him. The moment their gaze met, a subtle swish came forth that again warmed their hearts.
Dimas took the necklace from the box in Alila's hand. Then with a heart that continued to tremble, he wrapped it around Alila's neck and hooked both ends on the back.
Everyone focused their attention on the jewelery that had just coiled beautifully around Alila's neckline. A gold necklace with their initials set right in the middle. Dā”A
(It turns out for this reason, last night you asked me to pull my hair today. To make this beautiful necklace look perfect on my neck. Thank you, Dim.)
"I love you, Al.."
Dimas whispered a love sentence to Alila right beside his ear, before returning to stand beside his future wife.
After the surprise from Dimas, the lunch together soon began. The two families mingled casually and conversed while enjoying the lunch that the Alila family had prepared.
Alila and Dimas sat next to each other in the dining room.
"Thank you, Dim."
"For what?" Ask Dimas.
"Thank you for this beautiful necklace."
Alila touched the necklace right in the middle and noticed the initials of their names strung together there, making Dimas smile at her.
"You like it, Al?"
"Well, I really like it, Dim.."
The two of them smiled together with eyes that met each other and exuded a light of love. Endless sincere love, which will continue to grow adorning the heart.
