Clarissa looked at her appearance in the mirror, revealing a glamorous image of herself in a party dress that showed her slightly exposed cleavage as well as her wacky curves. Makeup in the form of luxury earrings and necklaces that must be very fantastic price he got for free by becoming BA jewelry brand, now increasingly make his appearance look elegant and classy.

"Darling, are you ready?" mr. Edward, his papa approaching Clarissa, seemed amazed when he saw the appearance of his daughter.

"Wow, no doubt, you look so gorgeous my princess."

"Thanks pap." -." Clarissa looked blushed.

"Ooh, I still don't think it's really me and Erick? ... "

"Of course, darling" said Mr. Edward cutting off his daughter's excitement.

"Bapi and Mr. Rey had planned this before we got here. All day long, aren't you very happy?"

"Of course pap, this is my dream. Since childhood I have liked Erick, until every proposal that always comes I refuse just for the sake of waiting for Erick to come to me."

"And today is the time, papi will ensure happiness for this beloved daughter of papi."

"Thank you pap, you're the best!" Clarissa hugged her father tightly. Too happy he feels now. After waiting for so many years, this day finally arrived.

"Everything dear." Mr. Edward rubbed his favorite daughter's hair.

"Let's not let the Davidsons wait for their future son-in-law."

Clarissa grew increasingly smiley because of her father's words, then the two walked together to the car that will take them to the meeting of two families tonight.

With a smile that never faded, Mona tidied up the black suit in the brother, adding small accessories in the form of red roses embedded in the pocket of the man's shirt. Erick looked around with a question mark. Everything happened suddenly, after attending a meeting with a client, his father asked to go home early, he said, his sister Mona told him if they would hold an important meeting and also a surprise for him.

"Gosh, since when does my sister look so good?" praise Mona with a little joke. Erick just shook his head.

"Who are we going to meet to be able to perform like this?"

Mona smiled meaningfully. "Sister will know" the girl blinked one eye.

"Come on, Daddy and mommy are waiting." Mona cheerfully pulls Erick's hand towards the terrace where their parents are waiting.

Elsewhere, Elena is visiting the orphanage where she grew up which has always been home back for her. There, the children were happily waiting for him to finish making dishes for their dinner.

Ms. Ratna came over while Elena was stirring the chicken soup in the large cauldron, putting flavoring spices into it.

"Feel it already, baby? the children are impatient," said Ms Ratna accompanied by rarity.

"In a moment, bun, everything will be presented," Elena said looking at a glance.

Ms. Ratna sat on one of the chairs near the dining table, watching Elena who was cooking. smiledz bu Ratna watched Elena carefully.

"Listen son, if there's a proposal coming to you, would you refuse?"

Ms. Ratna nodded. "Yes, son."

In order to hear more clearly what her foster mother was trying to say, Elena turned off the stove leaving chicken soup that only stayed on the serve and then occupied one of the chairs beside Ratna's mother.

"Look son, last time there was one family who came apparently he was one of the foster children of the mother who had lived well established with her rich parents, he came with the intention to propose to you, he came with the intention to propose you, why did he come here? because you know you often visit here and it's still a responsibility until he asks you to talk to him."

"Why did you just say it now?"

"You're busy so you don't want to interrupt. So now you're talking to her."

"He's a nice guy, maybe if you remember he said he was your playmate as a kid before he was adopted. If you want we can have a meeting to discuss this."

"Elen needs a bun time, it's not that easy to decide a wedding."

"Mother knows." Ms. Ratna held onto Elena's shoulder. "But think about it first, your age is also ripe to undergo a household hickey, mother only wants someone to protect you son."

Elena was full, not feeling her tears fall. Ms. Ratna clasped her hands tightly.

"The mother is getting older, the mother also wants someone to take care of this orphanage someday if the mother is no longer there. And maybe you'll take care of him with your husband later."

"Bune ... " Elena was stuck, her breathing was hard to describe.

"Try to think before deciding. Mommy see he's a good man, his job guarantees and surely he'll love you wholeheartedly."

Erick did not expect that the important meeting was his family meeting with the Clarissa family. His father deliberately booked a luxurious and classy resort for this two-family banquet.

At the long table divider in front of them, the Erick family and Clarissa family faced each other. Intimate meetings that only attended the nuclear family. From the direction of his eyes looking at Erick saw the cheerful faces around him. They seem to have something big to talk about.

Mr. Rey opened her voice for the first time after they enjoyed a fancy meal a while ago, while Clarissa looked very radiant Erick seemed to be the opposite, looking lazy and reluctant. Meetings like this and their cheerful faces, he already had guesses where it would lead.

"Well this family meeting, not only nostalgic return with our relatives who have not met for a long time but will also bind a closer relationship."

"Clarissa .. "pak Rey called the woman's name, Clarissa raised her face shyly.

"Daddy om .. " said with a blush.

"With this the Davidsons ask, will you be part of our family?"

Seen a surprised face in Clarissa's display but only as a gimmick because after the happy look of the woman can not be hidden anymore, he nodded with enthusiasm.

"Mahs ... " Erick pauses. Though he had repeatedly told his father not to plan an arranged marriage for him. That's a crazy thing! he wants to find his own life partner. It was as hard as his father to understand.

"Shut up! listen to me first Erick. You can't refuse this time."

Mr. Edward was visibly upset because of Erick's protest, he thought his best friend's son would immediately accept because his daughter would be the future man this time. A look of disappointment also appeared on Clarissa's face but as much as she could cover. He believes in Rey's plan to convince Erick.

"The match this time is not about the union of two people only Erick, but also about the union of two large companies. So papa asked you not to refuse again this time!" asserted Mr. Rey to his son.
