"Darling." exclaimed Nisa Aline's mother who had just opened the door of her Apartment, Nisa seemed shocked to see her daughter was sitting alone with a man.
While Austin's father Aline just put on a flat face without any expression.
"What are you doing together at night - night like this ?" nisa shouted with a sharp look at Dannis and Aline alternately
"Ki - we are not doing anything - why Mi." said Aline nervously.
"Well, right ?" Aline stared intently at Dannis to say yes, because the man did not look nervous or afraid.
"Aukhhhh, dear sick." cried Dannis, she grimaced in pain as Aline pinched her waist.
"Even you call him affectionate, fix you must have been in silent contact behind us." said Nisa indignantly, without hearing an explanation from them she had concluded herself.
"Mommy has misunderstood." said Aline.
"Pa, let's get them married !!" this time Nisa looked at her husband who had just been silent.
"Pa, we have nothing to do. I'm young, I don't want to get married." Aline looked at her father.
"Dear, but I want us to get married. You're not gonna make me an airy bachelor ?" this time Dannis protested Aline's rebuttal.
"That's your business, old man, anyway I don't want to marry a playboy like you." cried Aline cynically.
"But I've changed, baby." Dannis was still determined to persuade her little girl.
"Already - already, it's night. Dannis, go back to your apartment. Tomorrow morning we'll talk about this." This time Austin chimed in with his firm voice to make Dannis silent.
"Good Om, aunt. Then I pack my things first." said Dannis then he passed to his room.
Moments later after Dannis returned to his apartment, Austin and his wife immediately interrogated his daughter.
"Aline is really Pa, there's nothing to do with that guy. We're just quarantining together for nothing more" Aline said, trying to explain to her parents.
"After all, stay one roof with someone who is not your husband is not allowed." said Austin firmly.
"Sorry Pa, Dannis is just worried about leaving Aline alone" Aline said.
"We better get Pa married." said Nisa, she looked disappointed with her daughter.
Although he intends to match them, but that does not mean they can stay home even if under quarantine reasons. It must have been just some sense - Dannis's wits to trick her little daughter. Her thought.
"Ma, Aline doesn't have anything to do with him." Aline was still begging her mother.
"Papa will not marry them." said Austin firmly.
"Truly Pa, Papa is the best." exclaimed Aline while hugging his father.
"But there's a condition." sergeant Austin again.
"What Pa ?" aline asked with a smile that began to shrink.
"Dating you for a month, you can walk and get to know each other if for a month you don't like it too Papa won't force you to get married" Austin said.
"Is it true Pa, so Papa won't force me to get married like in the novels ?" aline asked enthusiastically.
"Novels ?" austin asked with a frown, as if he did not understand what his son meant.
"Yes the story in Pa's novel, married because of an arranged marriage. After marriage, they made a deal. That after one year of marriage they will get divorced, but not yet one year they have fallen in love with each other." said Aline enthusiastically, he told one of his favorite novels.
"God baby, most of you are shy. Papa was married for five years but never in love." said Austin, scrambling his hair.
"Have - now rest Son it's night !!" nisa said after seeing the clock on the wall.
"All right." Aline got up from her seat, after kissing her parents she immediately went to her room.
After the girl left, Austin and Nisa are still in the living room.
"Pa, isn't Papa yesterday insistent on wanting to match them up ?" nisa asks, she is curious about her husband's change.
"I've been investigating all about Dannis, in the last few years he's been playing a lot of women" Austin said flatly.
"Gosh Pa, why did you just say." Nisa looked surprised to hear her husband's words.
"Then why did Papa tell our son to date that guy for a month ?" ask Nisa again.
"But Papa believes Dannis has changed since knowing our son." said Austin firmly.
"Surely it is ?" Nisa seems worried.
"You doubt this husband of yours, Hmmm ?" sahut Austin looked at his wife softly.
"It's not so." said Nisa.
"I'm sure he won't let Papa or Mr. Nicholas down, but it's up to our son. Papa doesn't want them to get married because of an arranged marriage but has to love each other like we used to" Austin said, looking at his wife.

Next day
"Sit down !!" austin orders Dannis when the man visits his office that afternoon.
This was the first time Dannis had set foot in the Austin office, where Aline also worked.
"Sorry to you before. If Om tells me to take responsibility for my actions to Om's son, I'm very prepared. I will marry her." Dannis said seriously.
"I will not hold you accountable" Austin said.
"But Om..." Dannis hasn't finished her words yet but Austin has already interrupted her.
"My only child online, I want her to marry the person she loves and love" Austin said.
"I love her Om." said Dannis seriously.
"But my son is hesitant with you" Austin said, staring at Dannis with a hard-to-understand look.
"I know, Om, in the last few years I've made a lot of mistakes and since I met Aline I've noticed it" said Dannis, he tried to be honest. Because he was sure that the man in front of him was not a random person, he must have investigated about him. Her thought.
"I'll give you a month to convince my son, if you can't. Please don't bother him anymore !!" austin said firmly.
"Okay Om, I understand." said Dannis then say goodbye to go home.
"I'm sure you won't disappoint me or your father" Austin said as Dannis opened the door to leave the room, turning the man around and looking at him again.
"I promise Om." said Dannis firmly, then he left the room.
While in the office lobby, Dannis crosses paths with Aline who will also be out of his office.
"You ?" Aline frowned when Dannis arrived - suddenly holding her hand.
