Oliver's burly hands were coiled around Alexa's waist. The girl felt the warmth of Oliver's body which hugged her tightly. Slowly Alexa turned her body. He looked at Oliver's face. The look they meet.

Alexa felt her heart pounding. He was trying to find something behind Oliver's eyes.

Oliver removed one hand from Alexa's waist, then he touched Alexa's cheek, tucked some strands of the girl's hair behind her ear. "What are you looking for Alexa? My sincerity? If only my inner voice could you hear, you would know, only your name is in my heart, Eca."

"I'm afraid of being hurt, Oliver. You're a play boy."

Oliver smiles. Both of his hands were now holding Alexa's cheeks. "I used to feel the pain of being betrayed. I did at first vent it all on a lot of women. But when I chased you for almost 1 year, I understood what it means to fall in love again. I'm like crazy, thinking about you every day. I was almost desperate because you always rejected me. But when I get the belief that you also have the same feeling, I also dare to propose to you. I can't prove anything to you right now. Walk with me, my heart. I'm sure with you I can be faithful."

Alexa looked back into Oliver's eyes. Should he doubt this sincere look?

Alexa took a few steps back. He tried to think clearly. "Oliver, will you give me some time to think?"

Oliver looked disappointed. But he finally nodded. "I'll wait for your answer, even if it's excruciating waiting for your answer."

"I don't want to rush. I don't want to regret it later."

"You won't regret it."

Alexa smile. The rain is starting to fall.

"You want to go home?" ask Oliver.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can I take you home?"

"Can."

Oliver looks happy. He invites Alexa to go to a red sedan parked not far from the cottage. They left the area as the day began to fall.

********

Alexa looked at the six people she loved very much. Aldo, Joana, Giani, Jeronimo, Wulan and Juan.

"What are you asking us to get together, son?" ask Aldo.

"Oliver proposed to me" said Alexa.

"And you refuse?" guess Wulan.

"I asked for time" replied Alexa to leave the others stunned.

"You love her? You mean you're finally in love with her?" ask Joana.

"Yes. I was so happy when Oliver proposed to me. I miss when I don't see him. I was upset and angry when he was with another girl. I feel stupid for saying I don't like Caucasian men but in the end I like them too." Alexa is embarrassed.

"Don't be shy, son. My uncle used to be like that. Feeling that Aunt Giani is not the type of girl uncle dreams. But uncle fell in love with your aunt because of her kindness. And your aunt fell in love with uncle because of uncle's bule face. Is that right, baby?" Jero looked at the friendly Giani. Giani glared towards Jero. Who else fell in love with him just because his face was bule?

"It doesn't really matter if we change our own principles. She never expected to fall in love with Dad. Love comes without us knowing. In a time and place we never thought of. The question is, is Eca confident in Oliver's sincerity? We all don't want Eca to be heartbroken. Especially if Oliver will propose to you. Marriage is different from dating." Joana.

"Yes dear. At least Eca has to know who Oliver really is" Juan said.

"We also did not know for long and immediately married. So what's wrong with being sure? You have to believe what your heart says, Eca. Mami believes that if Oliver is your soul mate then you have to accept it. Don't regret it when Oliver's gone." said Wulan.

"I'm afraid of getting hurt." Said Alexa.

"Don't be afraid of being hurt if you want to enjoy a romantic relationship. Because life sometimes has to go through pain to mature us." Juan was followed by a nod of Aldo and Jero's head.

Giani who had been silent since then finally spoke. "Dear Eca, a playboy there comes a time when he is converted and returns to the right path when he falls in love with the right person. If Oliver feels that you're the right person, give him a chance. Don't get married. Enjoy your relationship for a while. Time will test whether Oliver deserves you or not."

Joana smiled at Giani's words. "Yes darling. Don't get married immediately. Engaged first. But before that, Oliver had to face the six of us. We also need to see his sincerity."

"You mean, Oliver was told to come here?" alexa asked him to try to convince him of what he heard. He could already imagine what kind of meeting Oliver would be with them.

"Yes." replied Joana.

"There's no other way?"

Joanna laughed a little. "You're in love with her, son. It's nothing you've been afraid we'd hurt her."

"Mom.not like that." Alexa dodged but the 6 people in front of her could see that their eldest daughter was already in love.

**********

It's been a week since he proposed to Alexa that afternoon. But there was no news from the girl. Oliver had called him but never picked up, sending a message just to ask him how he was, but Alexa just read it and did not reply. Oliver was confused by it.

"What's up, mister?" ask Kevin.

"He hasn't answered my message yet. What's up, huh? Did he reject me?"

Kevin smiles. "Miss Alexa asks for time. So you have to be patient."

"How can I be patient? He gave absolutely no news. I miss meeting him. At least, pick up my phone so I can hear her voice." Oliver ruffled his hair rough. He couldn't even sleep well and eat well for a week. His work became neglected because he could not concentrate.

"Maybe Miss Alexa still needs time, sir."

Oliver rested his back on the back of his chair.

The door to the room was knocked. Kevin opened. There's Alda, Oliver's new secretary.

"Sorry interfering. In the lobby he says there's a guest named Miss Alexa."

"Alexa?" Oliver blames the TV screen next to his desk. That's CCTV surveillance. The smile on his lips instantly expanded to see who was standing there. "Please let him in."

"Good sir."

Alda is the new secretary. He does not know Alexa. Just when Alexa came out of the elevator, she was stunned. Alexa's face was seen in magazines and TV when she received the award as the best flight attendant.

"Master's waiting for you, miss."

Alexa nodded. He went into Oliver's room where the door was open.

"Good day....!" Say hello Alexa.

"Good day, baby." Oliver smiled and stood up straight from his chair.

Kevin bowed respectfully to Alexa and went straight out while closing the door.

Alexa's face became hot hearing the word 'honey' spoken Oliver. But the girl tried to control herself so as not to be immediately lulled by Oliver's words.

The two sat facing each other. Oliver looked at Alexa longingly. I want him to hug the girl. But he also tried to master himself so as not to be considered brash by Alexa.

"I'm glad you came here, Eca. I honestly miss you" Oliver said.

Alexa smile. His heart trembled at Oliver's words. "I came to take you to my house."

"OKs. Is there a special event?"

"I want you to propose to me in front of my parents. I actually already have an answer for you but I want you alone to ask for their blessing. How's it?"

Oliver smiled happily. "I'll definitely come, Eca. I'll ask for your parents' blessing. But have you accepted my proposal? I keep carrying the ring."

"If my parents agree, you can put it on after you've finished talking."

"I'm so happy. Can't wait to see them. When's time?"

"Tonight."

"I'll definitely come, baby." Oliver said with a very happy face. "Oh yeah, how about we go to lunch together? I happen to not have eaten. You know, Eca, for one week I couldn't eat well because I kept thinking about your answer. Now when we meet, I feel really hungry."

Alexa couldn't hold back her laughter. He saw a black ring in Oliver's eyes. That guy can't sleep well. Alexa has the same thing. But he can disguise it with make up.

"alright. We'll have lunch together."

"Well, I'm glad....!" Oliver looks like a kid. He immediately stood up to pick up his phone from his desk and book a place at one of his favorite restaurants. After that, the two went together.

*********

The sweat on Oliver's face is very clear when he had to face 3 pairs of husband and wife who looked at him seemed less friendly. Alexa can only peek through the door of the living room. He pityed seeing Oliver's tense face. He also felt strange. There was not a single smile from the six beloved ones. They're Oliver with a cold face.

"We're parents, Alexa. We all make Alexa the oldest child. We love him like our own lives. Alexa has never been in a relationship. He also has no experience. Now you come to propose to him. What makes you so sure to propose to our son?" Aldo opened the conversation.

Oliver swallowed his saliva. He thought that he would be faced with a friendly and loving couple. It turns out that he had to face 3 pairs of husband and wife who seemed ready to extract information from him. But because his determination was so strong, Oliver also made himself comfortable with their cold gaze.

"I'm in love with Alexa. She's the only girl who can shake my heart out of all the women I've ever been close to." Reply Oliver steady.

"Well, that's so good of you, huh? You play boy, have often moved from one girl to another, and will get our son who is still innocent and holy? I don't agree." Juan said as he shook his head.

The deg! Oliver almost fainted at the rejection. But he spoke again. "I knew. I can't change my past. But I want to live my future with Alexa. If only I had known, the next day God would have met me with a girl like Alexa, I would have waited patiently for that time. I was heartbroken when I was betrayed by my first love. That's why I often play games with women. But when I met Alexa everything changed. I admit, at first I was just obsessed with Eca because she always turned me down. I am determined to conquer it. Yet every rejection of Eca makes something present in me. I want to have Eca the right way. That makes her my wife."

"How do you know that the flavor you have for Eca is love and not obsession?" ask Jero.

"In my life, after I've been heartbroken, I've always used sneaky ways to get the girl I wanted. I even tried it on Eca by giving her sleeping pills. But when Eca fell asleep, and I took her to my room, for some reason, my little heart forbade me to touch her. From then on I realized I was starting to love, Eca." Oliver said to surprise others but not Giani. He already knows the story.

"I still don't believe you." Joana said Alexa who was still peering behind the door became restless. How did mami bule turn into judes?

"Give me time to prove it." Please Oliver.

"good. You can marry Alexa 3 years from now" Aldo said.

Oliver surprised. 3 years? Isn't that too long? Waiting 1 week has made Oliver unable to eat and drink let alone 3 years?

"But I'm old enough to get married. In 2 months I'll be 28. Alexa is 23 years old. Isn't this the right age to get married?" Oliver tried to give his opinion. He really can't hang for 3 years.

"Please, as time goes by, I can prove that I am the man who deserves to be with Eca. I swear I won't hurt her." Oliver felt like crying. He was so afraid that the Alexa family would reject him. My God, is this a punishment because I often play tricks on girls? They are the ones who like and tease me.

Alexa can't hold herself anymore. He pushed open the door and entered the family room.

"Eca?" Aldo was shocked to see Alexa coming in.

"Sorry, interrupt your conversation. I can comment, right?" Ask Alexa and sit down next to Oliver.

"Of course you can, baby." Joana.

"I was also initially hesitant to be with Oliver, given his past which is attached to the nickname Casanova. I even secretly investigated all the girls who had been close to Oliver. Most of them do willingly want to be Oliver's girlfriend even though they know their status will only last 1 to 3 months. However, I also thought, why didn't I learn to trust him and give him a chance to get better? Therefore I beg papa, do not wait until 3 new years me and Oliver can get married. I don't want to marry a man in his 30s. The effect is too old."

Juan looked at Wulan. "Am I too old to marry you, baby?" juan asked in a whisper.

"You are old, my mother. We're 15 years old."

"But I'm still hot, right? The proof is you're gonna hang with me." Juan blinked his eyes making others laugh at the behavior of the couple.

Alexa looked at Juan. "Sorry, Juan. I didn't mean to offend you."

"No problem, honey. Papi was already in his 30s when he married Mami Wulan but the charm of papi is able to beat men in their 20s. Now, Papi still looks handsome and dashing, right?"

Again they laugh. Oliver started to feel the atmosphere turning into a relaxed one. He can see the warmth of the Alexa family.

"Back to topic." Aldo looked at Oliver. "We admit your courage against us, son. If Alexa loves you, then we can't refuse her. Just prove your word that you'll never hurt our son."

"I promise."

"The wedding will take place 4 months from now. And all that time you can't sleep together." The word Jero makes Giani hold back laughter seeing the behavior of her husband who is pretentious.

"There can be no lip kiss. Because a kiss of the lips will make you forget yourself and will eventually be anchored in bed." Juan continued to make Wulan stomp on her husband's feet to remind him how he used to almost fuck her in terms of their status is not yet clear.

"I used to be a lonely widower, baby. It's only natural that I'm crazy to want to touch you." Juan whispered making Wulan's face red.

"Are you capable of Oliver?" ask Giani.

"I'm willing. Only occasionally, we can go to dinner together or just watch a movie? I also want to have a date like any other young person." Oliver said a little shyly.

"Can. Just holding hands, right? Don't hold the other one." Jero made everyone laugh.

Alexa and Oliver looked at each other. Oliver took the ring out of his pants pocket. He knelt before Alexa. "Dear Eca, Will you marry me?"

Alexa looked at the three couples in front of her. Everybody nodded.

"Yes, I will."

Oliver's chest is swollen with a feeling of happiness. His hand even slightly shook inserting the ring into Alexa's ring finger. "Thank you, baby!" Oliver kisses Alexa's hand with teary eyes. He almost kissed Alexa's lips but didn't hear Juan's voice.

"Ehm.remember, not on the lips." Juan Seru.

Oliver's parents who have arrived were smiling happily to see their son was very brave to propose Alexa himself.
