Lily and Albern looked frozen, unable to believe what they were seeing at the moment. A scene that they had previously only imagined in wishful thinking, was now in sight, namely that both their parents were each sitting side by side in a peaceful feel. But then, a question arises, why suddenly the two parents Lily is in the main residence of the Brylee family?
"You just got back from the office?" Zaya's question blew Lily and Albern's mind.
The two looked somewhat misbehaved and pulled each other's hands together before.
"Uncle, Aunt." Albern immediately greeted Lily's parents.
Evan and Carissa nodded in response to Albern's greeting. But if Carissa smiled, Evan only showed a familiar flat face in Albern's eyes.
"When will Uncle and Aunt arrive?" albern asked as she sat on one of the empty couches. Lily also followed sitting next to Albern, but with a considerable distance certainly.
"Last afternoon" said Carissa.
"Who's taking you to the airport?" ask Albern. She is trying to get noticed because Lily's parents will soon be her parents as well.
"We came with your parents" Carissa said.
"Well, you mean to meet Mama and Papa at the airport?"
"No. We left Singapore together."
Albern looked a little surprised, as did Lily. The two looked at each other before then gazing towards their respective parents.
"So, what did Mama and Papa say was going out of town to Singapore?" albern asked her parents.
"That's how." This time Aaron answered.
Albern looked at lack of words. If you go to Singapore, it's called abroad, no longer out of town. I don't know what these two parents are planning to do by going to see Lily's parents secretly, even bringing them here.
"Mama and Papa why don't you tell me you want to come here?" lily asked her parents.
"Everything is unplanned. We just left" replied Evan. "By the way, Papa didn't call you because he knew you were very busy. Papa is afraid it will be troublesome."
Lily swallowed her saliva somewhat uncomfortably. Evan's tone to her remained gentle as usual, but somehow this time sounded quite sarcastic. Could this father feel neglected because lately he rarely called his parents for busy reasons.
"Sorry ...," Lily murmured then while scratching her non-itchy nape.
"It's okay. Papa knows that the project you're working on with Albern is a big one. It must have been very tiring, until the next hour just came home," said Evan still with his soft, piercing tone.
"Today we did a land survey in several places to be used as a factory construction site, so it came home late" said Albern responded.
Evan turned his head towards Albern, then nodded his head.
"You guys surveyed the land till this night? Is it harmless?" ask Evan.
"The survey of the land is not until night, really. But that was ...." Lily who was about to reply suddenly stopped her words for a moment while turning her head towards Albern. He did intend to tell his parents if Albern had proposed to him, but did it have to be this fast?
"So I took Lily to a place first, and then we had dinner first, and then we got here." Albern continued Lily's words.
"No, really, Pa. Kak Al always goes with Assistant Dhani and his driver. I was also with my assistant and driver. We both went. That's because ...." Lily's words again hung in the air.
"Because what?" urged Evan. This time it was not only possessive papa Lily who wanted to hear the continuation of the words of the sentence that the girl said, but also everything that was there.
"Because ... because ...." Once again Lily looked at Albern, as if she were asking for help.
"Because I prepared a surprise for Lily, Uncle. I proposed to Lily" Albern finally said.
The mood was silent for a moment. Everyone froze as if someone had activated a time-stopping machine. However, no one showed a surprised look, as if they all knew, or at least guessed what Albern did today.
"Actually Lily and I were also planning to go see Uncle and Aunt in these weeks, but apparently Uncle and Aunt came here first" Albern added.
"so." Evan finally responded while sipping the tea presented before him.
Lily and Albern looked at each other. Evan's response was too casual until the two of them became somewhat confused.
"So, this time Uncle will give us his blessing, right?" albern asked somewhat anxiously.
"Although I don't give you my blessing, you will also meet secretly behind my back. After all, you also said you would take Lily from me by force if I still did not approve of your relationship after Lily managed to achieve her dream. Aye, right?" Evan looked at Albern rather intensely.
For the first time in Albern's life, he became rather nervous about being looked at by such a person. Usually he only felt uneasy if anyone stared at him.
"Yes, I once said that to Uncle. Sorry if it seems rude. Actually I just wanted to tell Uncle that I love Lily so much and just want to spend my life with her. And Lily did, too" said Albern finally honestly.
"If you and Lily are like that, what can I do" Evan said again with a casual tone.
For the next time Albern and Lily looked at each other. They were at a loss for words listening to Evan's response which was somewhat beyond that prediction. Although this time they were certainly approved, but this was still too easy.
No one had the chance to open their mouth again, the Ginna treatment room was open. Looks like the doctor who used to treat Ginna came out of there.
"The Great Lady can already be found. He said he wanted to talk to Mr. Aaron, Mrs Zaya and Miss Lily's parents together" the doctor said.
"The four of us?" ask Aaron reassuringly.
"yes, sir."
They all looked at each other, before finally obeying what Ginna wanted. Aaron, Zaya, Evan and Carissa meet with Ginna, while the doctors and nurses who previously examined Ginna, return to their study room which is still adjacent to the room where Ginna was treated. Only Albern and Lily stayed in the living room which seemed to still be trying to digest the situation they were in at the moment.
No matter how long the parents of Albern and Lily were in Ginna's care room, they all came out of it and returned to the living room.
"We have spoken to Grandma and agreed to take the decision taking into account Grandma's current condition. I hope you both accept it without much protest." Aaron opened the conversation in a very serious tone, so Albern and Lily inevitably felt a bit tense.
"You ..." Aaron looked at Albern and Lily in turn. "Your marriage will be held in three days."
