Albern and Lily
Another Surprise

Lily turned her face for a moment to hold back her tears from falling, before she finally looked at Albern again. It was indescribable how happy he was right now. His feeling felt full and almost bursting, making him want to smile and want to shed tears simultaneously. After so many years, finally the moment where Albern knelt before him while thrusting a ring came. And Lily barely knew what to say.

"Of course I want to" Lily answered at last as she blinked her eyes that felt sore from holding back tears.

Albern smiled, then got up and pinned the ring that was thrust into Lily's ring finger.

Lily took her breath. Ah, I don't know what words can describe his feelings at this moment. It is not enough to simply be called a happy feeling. She and Albern are planning to get married soon, of course she also knows that Albern is going to propose. It's just, Lily didn't know if it would feel this beautiful.

"Thank you" Albern murmured as he reviewed a faint smile.

"So now my fiancee, huh?" muttered Lily while looking at her ring finger embedded in a ring inscribed with a blue bar color gemstone.

"Eh, wait a minute," Lily said suddenly while slightly sharpening her vision. He looked at the ring he was wearing more closely.

"What's wrong?" albern asked in surprise.

Lily stared at Albern, then looked back at the ring on her ring finger. "Sir Al, what is this ... blue diamond? Oppenheimer Blue?" lily asked with a surprised face.

Albern paused for a moment, before finally nodding in agreement to Lily's question.

"Oh my goodness ...." Lily kinda smothered her mouth. Blue precious stones that adorn the ring in the sweet at this time, previously he only knew the jewel from the book alone, but now it is just a beautiful throne on his ring finger. Do not ask the price, because blue diamonds are one of the most expensive gems in the world.

"Why?" albern asked as she looked at Lily's somewhat gawking expression.

"Sister Al, isn't this too much?" ask Lily.

"What?"

"the ring. It's expensive, right? Could be for the cost of opening a hospital."

At once Albern laughed with his crisp.

"So why if it's expensive?" ask Albern.

"It's a pity that that money is just to buy a ring. If you invest in something else, it's more profitable" said Lily.

Once again Albern laughed. This time while ruffling Lily's head with anxiety.

"That was the ring that the late Grandpa gave" Albern said later.

"Grandpa's ring?" repeat Lily while slightly widening her eyes.

"Yes. Before she died, Grandpa gave the ring to me. He told me to propose to a woman who would be my life partner by using this ring."

Lily looked stunned.

Lily still looked towards Albern without knowing what to say. The atmosphere of the twilight was increasingly sad because they became equally remembered on the figure of the late Carlson Brylee, Albern's warm grandpa and always be pleasant at every opportunity.

The sun finally sank. After the proposal on the edge of the lake, Albern did not immediately take Lily to his apartment, but took the girl who had officially become his fiancee to dinner first. At Lily's request, they eat at a house.

Albern's luxury car was scattered in front of the modest house, attracting the attention of the people. When she and Lily got out of the car, of course they were the center of attention. For Lily's sake, Albern was just enjoying all that, when usually he was very unhappy when people looked at him intensely. Therefore, when going to any place, he usually chooses the exclusive so that his privacy is not disturbed.

"I used to eat here with Darrel and Sister Zi. I miss the taste of the cuisine," said Lily while ordering various processed seafood menus available.

Albern simply nodded while looking at the menu list. He was confused and did not know what to order, because he did not really like seafood.

"Sister Al must try his seafood fried noodles. It feels really good" Lily said with a recommendation.

"really?" ask Albern unsure.

Lily nodded. Because no one really wanted Albern to eat, he finally ordered the menu mentioned by Lily earlier. Not long after, all the dishes they ordered came. Lily ate her favorite food with great greed, so Albern became tasteful. Albern, who usually eats with the right table manner like people from the upper class, this time looked to peel shrimp using both hands directly, before eating it.

Not waiting long, all the dishes served were finished they ate. After paying for all the food, they returned to the car with a full stomach.

"Don't eat there often" Albern said as he turned on his car's engine.

"Why?" Lily looked a bit frowned.

"Not good for weight" says Albern.

Lily laughed at that. All this time he did not worry about the problem of weight every time he ate something. It seems that he should pay more attention from now on.

"Oh, yes. If my parents are back from out of town, we'll see your parents, okay?" albern changed the subject.

Lily paused for a moment, then nodded. They need to meet their parents to talk about marriage in person. But since the two were busy recently, it was not planned at all.

"For the first meeting, it might be enough just me and you first. Later if there is no problem from your parents, in the next meeting, I will bring my parents," continued Albern again.

Lily could only nod. His heart rippled great. He still can't believe that he and Albern are really getting married. Along the way, he just kept nodding in response to Albern's words, until then, they arrived at the Ginna residence. Lily did say she wanted to see Ginna first before returning to her apartment.

Albern and Lily got out of the car in a bit of a surprise when they saw another car parked there. It seems that Zaya and Aaron have returned from out of town and have come straight here.

"Come," asked Albern while holding Lily's hand into the house.

Something different was felt by Albern and Lily as they passed through the living room, but did not know what. Then the two arrived at the family room.

"Mama? Papa?" Lily bought in shock when she found her parents sitting on the sofa in the room along with the parents of Albern.
