Time keeps turning and changing seasons. As he promised himself, Marshall would apply for Zee if he had already graduated from college and today was Zee's graduation day. Marshall graduated first.


Zee came to his college accompanied by his parents. Zee repeatedly turned to the direction of the hall door, hoping Marshall would come soon. Zee snorted as he looked at the watch in his hand, as soon as his graduation was about to begin. But until this moment Marshall has not come.


The sound of an announcement from the direction of the stage, made Zee immediately to the seat. During the graduation ceremony to finish, Marshall did not reveal his nose.


"Congratulations, dear... Finally graduated from college too," said Mami Janet while hugging Zee. Likewise with Haris' father congratulating Zee.


"Why is dad's son pouting?" Tukas Haris' father while embracing Zee's shoulder.


"I'm kelp! Marshall didn't come to my graduation, but he promised to come, but until Marshall's done not come" Zee said.


"Maybe Marshall's stuck in traffic. Don't frown anymore, Marshall will come to see you, too" continued Haris' father, while taking Zee and Mami Janet away.


Zee kept a sour face. He was upset because Marshall did not keep his promise, but last night Marshall promised to come.


Zee picked up the phone in the bag and checked the phone. Again Zee had to swallow disappointed, Marshall did not even give him any news at all.


With her face bent, Zee turned off her phone. It doesn't matter if Marshall calls her.


Arrive in the parking lot and get in the car. Haris' father glanced at Zee looking out the rearview mirror.


"Dad will take you to a fancy restaurant. You're gonna love it."


"Yes," replied Zee lazily.


Haris' father immediately drove his car out of the campus area and split the streets that today is very crowded. About an hour later, Haris' father, Mami Janet and Zee arrived at the restaurant. Zee first opens his toga and folds it.


Haris and Mami Janet's father got off the car followed by Zee. Although today was her happy day, Zee still put on a sour face.


"Zee is still a manyun" whispered Mami Janet.


Haris' father smiled in response to his wife's whisper. The two of them joined hands to enter the restaurant, with Zee first stepping in.


"So quiet, huh?" Zee asked, who was astonished to see the state of the restaurant.


"Where do you know," replied Haris' father.


"We just move. Yes, we only eat three, ' concluded Zee, but Haris' father even invited him to sit.


"Excuse me, is this true with Mr Haris?" Ask the restaurant manager.


"Yes, right. "


"If so, please go to the place that has been prepared," continued the restaurant manager and Haris' father nodded.


"Did you book this restaurant?" Ask Zee, while following the steps of the restaurant manager.


"It's not dad."


"If not father, who will?" This time Zee was curious.


"There is, someone," replied Haris' father.


Zee throttled her lips at her father's reply. They stopped in front of a door that was covered by a curtain. Mami Janet pulls Zee to stand in the middle between Mami Janet and Haris' father.


The door was opened from outside. Zee looked up at the person standing on the stage in the exact same batik suit she was wearing.


Marshall smiled at Zee who was standing far away in the doorway. His heart was racing feeling nervous and happy as well. Zee looked around and there turned out to be Cahyani's grandmother, Jefry and his family from the village. Zee also saw his extended family Marshall who is now standing to welcome him.


It's a real surprise and Zee doesn't think Marshall's preparing a party for him.


"Come on, Zee let's go" said Mami Janet.


Zee walked guided by both her parents. Zee's heart breaks to Marshall's surprise. Zee unceasingly stared at the adoring face of his heart and the smile that continued to linger on his lips.


Marshall immediately reached out his hand, as Zee was already standing in front of the stage. While Haris and Mami Janet's father joined forces to sit with Bu Cahyani.


"Good day to all the guests here. Especially my parents and my extended family. Thanks to Om, Aunt and her family." Marshall paused his sentence and sighed, throwing away his nervousness.


"Before to the core of the event. I want to congratulate my lady who graduated from college today. May his dreams and aspirations be achieved."


"Amien's...." Excite everyone.


Zee smiled haru. If there was no one in this place, Zee would definitely hug him right away. Marshall looked at Zee with affection. Aisyah came and gave Marshall a velvet box.


"Om, Aunt... Thank you for allowing me to continue with Zee and today allow me to propose to Om and Auntie's son."


Haris' father nodded, allowing Marshall to propose to his beloved daughter.


Zee was surprised to hear Marshall's words asking for permission to apply. Zee thought this was a party event for her graduation, but it turned out to be wrong. Marshall then pulls Zee's hand and kneels before Zee.


"Zeez... My most beautiful woman. Thank you for staying with me and accompanying me on my days.. Today I've asked your parents for permission to propose to you."


"Zeez... In front of all our extended families. I wanted to say. Do you want to marry me?"


With teary eyes, Zee nodded her head." Yes, I want to."
