The Jakarta
Mr. Wijaya was stunned and shocked to hear the courage of Alexander to propose to his daughter who had not met him for a long time. The old man stared at Alexander and Stevie's faces in turn, but no words came out of his mouth to give a response. Seeing the rigid attitude of his papa, Stevie was embarrassed because he was the one accused of planning what Alexander did. He was also surprised to hear that.
"Papa. if you don't agree just say to brother Alex directly pa.. Stevie doesn't know about this plan either, and even Alex doesn't talk to Stevie before." To change his papa's view of him, Stevie tries to change his papa's view.
Alexander smiled at Stevie's words, and Mr. Wijaya was still speechless as he looked towards the two youngsters. Sheilla did not say much either, she simply took a breath to regulate her heartbeat. Not knowing what he will follow later, if his daughter also soon married like his first son.
"How do you think Sheilla.. Do you approve of their relationship? You stay longer and live with Stevie. Looks like you're more fitting to give Alexander an answer." Mr. Wijaya threw an answer at his ex-wife.
But still feeling confused, Madam Sheilla just shrugged her shoulders up. Seeing that, Mr. Wijaya smiled then looked back at everything in that place. A few moments later...
"In these uncertain situations, it would be easier to let Stevie off to his life companion. Andreas Jonathan has gone first with his son and wife, and now we are. We need someone who will be able to make sure we are all in a safe state, and papa appointed Alexander as the safest person." Mr. Wijaya began to express his opinion.
Stevie was surprised, the girl raised her face and looked towards her papa. In his seat, Alexander smiled at him and did not concern himself with hearing a positive response from his young master's father.
"So, papa accepted Alexander's proposal to secure the kit family. But .. Papa also does not want to be labeled as a selfish father by my daughter. For that all the answers agree or not, I leave everything to Stevie." finally the old man continued his words.
Again Stevie felt surprised because he felt held by his papa directly in front of Alexander. The girl raised her face upwards looking at Alexander, and the man looked at her while smiling at her. It looks great hope Alexander to be accepted by the girl's proposal. Moreover, Mr. Wijaya had already said the agreement to accept as his son-in-law.
"Mam. help Stevie mom.. Stevie was confused." with a stifled remark, Stevie asked Mrs Sheilla.
It was seen that Madame Sheila took a deep breath, then the woman raised her face and looked at her daughter.
"Stevie. All mama give it back to you, because you're the one who's going to live it. Alex's son is a good man, and has helped and saved you a lot too. But again, it all depends on you my daughter." firmly, Ms. Sheila expressed her thoughts.
Stevie became increasingly confused. Papa and his mother were deliberately cornered to decide on Alexander's proposal. There was no other choice like him, and the man who proposed to him since just now was just smiling while looking at him.
Moments later, after looking back at his father and mother, Stevie nodded his head. Alexander felt like he was getting an award at the moment, the man immediately dropped a leg and sat down on his knees in front of the girl.
"Thank you Stevie. I promise I will take care of you, and always give my best for you." whispered Alexander softly as he kissed the girl's hands.
Mr. Wijaya and Mrs Sheilla looked at each other and smiled nodding their heads.

Half hearing their youngest daughter had made the decision to want Alexander, Mr. Wijaya invited his ex-wife to discuss. They are both sitting in a coffee corner at the hotel where they have been staying recently. It was seen that Mr. Wijaya had been stirring coffee in a cup in front of him for a while, and occasionally sipped a few gulps.
"Sheilla...., how did you decide to realize Alexander and Stevie's wishes..? I'm not used to taking care of things like this, because when Andre and Cassandra got married it all happened suddenly. Their marriage took place in a hospital in the city of Solo, shortly after Altezza was born into this world. When I was planning to have a wedding party at the time, Cassandra flatly refused." Mr. Wijaya invited his ex-wife over for a discussion.
Madam Sheilla was speechless, the middle-aged woman seemed to not believe what she was going to face in the future. As it had only been a while, she and her daughter became refugees to Indonesia, but this time her daughter was already getting married and had to leave her to be with her husband. But a few moments later...
"Hmm. I myself was confused and did not believe Vijaya. Will I lose my son and daughter so soon." - Madam Sheila whispered softly.
"It's all a Sheilla cycle, a cycle of life that anyone should live. As parents we have no right to obstruct that cycle, we must provide support to our sons and daughters. Ikhlaskan, now we must think how to unite Alexander and Stevie in a marriage bond." in clear words, Mr. Wijaya reminded Sheila.
"I understand Wijaya .., I'm resigned to you, how will we do to get them married as soon as possible. But are we going to leave Andreas and Cassandra, the married couple is not in Indonesia. I've been trying to give up and let my daughter go to follow her husband." Sheilla finally made a decision.
"Well Sheilla, thank you for accepting Alexander. I can testify for the young man, he's not just a random man and not just a vice CEO of the company. But the dedication and loyalty of the young man to our son Andreas, we no longer need to doubt. Very useful can make the young man a core part of our family.." looks happy on the face of old Mr. Wijaya.
"Yes Wijaya. Although not long ago I knew him, but the lunge of the young man all this time has answered everything." continued Ms. Sheila.
