"Papa heard from Yura, you helped Sofia on the way home." Sebastian opened the conversation at breakfast the next morning.
"Yes pa." Audrey answered briefly after swallowing the chewed food.
"Good, Papa's happy to hear that."
Audrey smiled faintly and continued eating. That day they only had breakfast together, Rangga was abroad for a job. Because he will take time off after marriage, then he finished the business faster so that Papa and his assistant are not overwhelmed.
"Good Morning."
Degs...Degs...Degs...
Audrey's heart was still pounding faster when she heard the young man's voice. They are getting married soon, but it still feels the same as it used to be when Aaron started stealing his heart.
"Good morning Aaron, come here, eat with us." take Sebastian.
Audrey smiled and prepared a plate for her future husband. He took a pitcher made of glass and filled with orange juice and poured it in a new glass. He deftly filled Aaron's plate with two loaves of brown jam-treated wheat bread.
Seeing the service Audrey was giving, Aaron immediately reached out and rubbed the girl's head as soon as he sat back down.
"Thank you" said Aaron sincerely.
"Yes, you're the same."
Aaron enjoyed the bread with a smile that kept on rising on his face.
"If that's how you eat, soon you'll be choking." Sebastian looked at the young man.
Aaron gulped his juice. "I'm happy, Audrey hasn't prepared food for me in a long time, Pa." she said, glancing at Audrey.
Audrey just kept eating. Sebastian glanced at his daughter, suddenly a sly smile was glimpsed on his face.
"Then you married her along with Rangga and Yura alone."
Uhukk...Uhukk...Uhuk!!!
Uhukk...Uhukk...Uhuk!!!
As Sebastian expected, his daughter choked.
Aaron slapped Audrey on the back, and he gave her a glass of water. The girl's eyes reddened, clear circles appeared in her eyes. Audrey hit her own chest to relieve a cough that caused pain in the throat.
"What an outrageous thing." said Audrey when her cough had subsided, she grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears. Aaron was still faithfully staring at Audrey's face with an amused smile.
"Papa was not accidentally" said Sebastian lightly, not caring about Audrey who widened the net because he did not like the words of his father.
"But I don't mind Papa's proposal." Aaron who from earlier just looked at Audrey responded to Sebastian's nosy sentence earlier.
Audrey looked at Aaron seriously. "That's also if Audrey doesn't mind." Aaron added as he grabbed Audrey's hand and kissed the back of the hand gently.
Aaron's misplaced sweet treatment puts Audrey to shame. Her husband-to-be is often flirting in front of parents, making Audrey careless. He immediately pulled his hand because he felt uncomfortable.
"Audrey doesn't want a festive party, sister."
"Who said Rangga and Yura's party will be festive, they will also hold a simple party according to Yura's request" said Sebastian.
"Then, at the same time. I'll tell Papa." Aaron looks excited. "How's it?" he asked Audrey.
The girl could only smile clumsily and nod in response.

It turns out that it is not just the same wedding party, the engagement party as well. Because the invitation is only limited to the same person or family, so for what is held separately.
The engagement was held at Sunrise Resort. Sebastian's nosy act turned into a reality, two weeks after a joke at breakfast, his daughter's son tied up and tied their partner with a very beautiful ring. With dress code and white and lilac decorations, beach resorts are transformed into increasingly romantic.
After the official event, they enjoy the dish while chatting with an invitation that incidentally family and best friends. Audrey and Yura of course had a conversation with Nabila and Isabela.
"How are you two?" Yura looked at Nabila and Isabela curiously.
"I can't yet" said Nabila flatly.
"I remember you and Brother Damian being seen close by at the Gala Dinner Swan Lake." Audrey responded.
"On the orders of Mita." Nabila does not seem to like the questions about his matchmaking.
"If Isa?" Audrey wants to know the development of Ballerina and the Widower's relationship.
"No progress, it's still the same as when we were just getting to know. It was at the dinner party that Mama asked Mr. Leon to always accompany me."
"Master?" the other three girls were astonished.
Isabela grimacing. "Sister Leon." he corrected his own words.
"Yes?"
The four girls jumped in shock, whose names had just been mentioned had already appeared near them.
"Sorry, I want to walk with you there." Leon pointed at the beach that looked deserted.
Isabella scrunched her forehead. "Mama asked?"
Leon shakes. "My initiative."
Isabela was silent, she stared intently at Leon before answering. "Alright" said the girl in the end. "I'll excuse you." Isabella said goodbye to her friends and followed Leon.
The two men just walked in silence, they did not step together. Isabella chose to walk behind Leon. He took off his shoes, letting his skin touch the warm sand.
Brukkkkk
"Ouch!!" Isabela grimaced in pain holding her nose. "Why stop suddenly?!" he asked with annoyance.
"Who told you to walk, don't look ahead" replied Leon. "Did it hurt?" he moved Isabella's hand and examined the girl's nostrils.
"Little." Isabela.
"Not come off."
Isabella rounded her eyes. "Do you think my nose is a fake, Mr Leon?!" he roughly held Leon's hand and removed the big hand from his face. But Isabella had not yet hit him, Leon had caught Isabella's wrist.
"Why be upset? I'm just kidding." Leon rubbed Isabella's cheek with his free left hand. "Sorry to shock you into this pain."
Isabela felt a huge burden crashing into her chest. Leon's gentle treatment and gaze made him shocked to the point that it was hard to breathe. He turned his face away because he felt his cheeks heat up.
"I realized, the beginning of our meeting did not make a good impression. Sorry to think you're the same as most women around me." Leon grabbed Isabella's other hand and held the two warmly.
"Can we start from the beginning, Isa?" pinta Leon was accompanied by a deep gaze.
Leon's question made Isabela fixated, she stared intently at the man before her. They just stared at each other for a few moments. Until finally Isabella realized and began to open her eyes.
"Sister didn't force me to marry me right away, did he?"
Leon smiled, apparently the offer to start from the beginning was responded to by another Isabela. The girl thought Leon wanted to propose to her immediately. Even if that's what he had in mind. But he did not want to make the girl uncomfortable and unhappy in their marriage.
"We can be friends first, get to know each other well. One or two years, I'm gonna propose to you."
"Aren't you willing to wait that long?" Isabella surprised.
"Actually no." replied Leon honestly. "But hearing you call me Big Brother, makes my heart feel warm. It means you're willing to accept me and willing to change your view of me."
Isabela smiled at Leon's words. "Sorry to be cold, I only treat people like they treat me. Especially the opposite sex, so that there is no misunderstanding."
"I'm glad the misunderstanding between us could be over. Keep acting like that to the other young man. But not to me."
"Is there a possessive friend like this?" Isabela raised next to her eyebrows and smiled mockingly.
"We're friends but we're getting married."
Isabella rolled her eyes at the sentence "So I can't be sweet to another young man, while sister can be sweet to any woman. That so?"
"I'm not like that of course."
"Oh yeeaaa." Isabela said in a mocking tone, the corner of her lips raised and a face that looked sneering yet funny.
"Geez!" Leon took off his grip and cupped Isabella's cheeks together. "I feel like I could marry you right away if I see your adorable face like this."
"I'm a friend and your future husband, so it doesn't matter if I'm possessive" he added.
Isabella pulled Leon's hand from her face. "As for you" he felt uncomfortable hearing the word marriage. As soon as his mood changed, he turned around and walked away from Leon.
"My Lady, are you angry at the word marriage?" Leon followed and stopped Isabela. The girl was silent, still reluctant to answer.
"All right then. What if I change." Leon pulled Isabela's waist and put the girl's body on her. Isabella's two hands held Leon's chest to give her distance.
"What if I change, I want to kiss you" the man stuck his face slowly.
"Kiss this." Isabella put her fist in front of Leon's lips.
Hahahahahaha....
Leon laughed at Isabella's behavior. He took his hand off the girl's body.
"I wouldn't have taken your first kiss without the feeling of love" Leon said after his laughter subsided. "So I'll make you fall in love with me. Be prepared." Leon deliberately used his thumb to rub Isabela's chin, making the fingertips touch the Ballerina's lower lip.
Isabela brushed off Leon's hand, her cheeks blushing, she turned and prepared to walk away. But once again Leon held back and turned Isabella's body and hugged her.
"You're getting prettier as you blush like that, My Lady." she whispered in Isabela's ear.
"Geez, if it's like this, the sister can melt bang." said Isabela witty.
Leon laughed softly at Isabela's words. Especially when Isabella hugged him back. Really a beautiful day.
