Two years later…
“So, tell me what's the reason you're here?” The father became a shield strong enough to block Arthur's arrival to their residence that night. The adult man seemed to give a sharp look of his mainstay, but fortunately his lover could not be bullied just by that look.
“I want to propose Silvana,” said Arthur with a word that is filled with confidence and high confidence exorbitant. This is probably the phrase most Silvana wait for after their relationship that lasts more than two years. The girl had already completed her study and they were no longer in the same neighborhood. It is a form of commitment to their relationship as well.
“Silvana Call the father to the girl, a serious look at Silvana at the time. “You already know about this?”
“Ya.”
“Why don't you discuss it first with us?” the father again asked in a high tone to his daughter. It was not that the man was unhappy with their relationship. He has also known since the first time Arthur came to their residence and how much Silvana likes his former lecturer. It's just that in this case he feels less appreciated as a father who should know more about his daughter. In addition, as the only daughter of his puppets Silvana should understand that before breaking a more serious relationship he is obliged to tell his father first and get his approval.
Silvana, who was sitting next to Arthur, jumped a little when he heard the speech from his father. For a long time she had not heard the anger of the man who was her first love in this house. But he could not blame because Silvana had not discussed anything with her parents. Frankly though he's happy Arthur came like this to his house with guts. Silvana also had no idea that this man would
came so soon to ask permission from his father to propose to him.
“I'm sorry dad, I'm a little afraid dad doesn't approve of this relationship if I discuss it first.” That statement is not based on lies. Silvana only assesses the worst possibility of his father's behavior when he first met Arthur who at that time only had the intention to visit his sick self.
The most mature man in the room just silently heard the words of his beloved girl. He knew that as a father he had failed. All his actions that he thought would make Silvana a good person did not work. She often heard that her daughter was wild and out of control when she was busy working out of town. His wife was also overwhelmed by their daughter's mischief.
But since he introduced Arthur to them, little by little he saw a change in a better direction than Silvana. She became a sane student and pursued her grades that were never a major concern. He also never again went out with foreign men in the middle of the night and came home the next morning. Inevitably she must admit that Arthur brought positive changes into her daughter's life. That consideration became the basis, and made the man finally want to open his voice.
“Silvana, Arthur, honestly there is no reason for me to ban and oppose your relationship,” the man said slowly.
Both Silvana and Arthur were stunned by the man's attitude towards them. No one thought they would get such an answer. Arthur himself has even since told Silvana that he was going to propose to her always practiced putting together the best words to beat the man up if he opposed them. But after hearing this, the handsome lecturer could only stare fixedly at the man sitting across from him. Isn't this too easy?
“Silvana, I am well aware that you have undergone many positive changes in your life since you dared to introduce Arthur to me. Your mother also said that you no longer do stupid and focused things
on your studies and now that you graduate you also get a good job. You can explore the best potential in you with her help, whereas I'm always yelling at you, banning you, and even ignoring you when I'm desperate to make you a better person. As a father, I have failed. I'm sorry Silvana.”
Silvana this time was made completely shocked at the words of her own father. He really did not think that the stubborn man would bow his head in order to apologize to him.
“Dad, there's nothing to forgive from dad. After all, dad did that too because dad wanted me to be a good kid. I realized that the reason for my father's anger was because of me. I am the one who should apologize for having troubled father and mother all this time,”reply Silvana sincerely.
The father was immediately stunned when he found his daughter's words. Then the man glanced at Arthur. Looking at the man who wanted to take his daughter very seriously.
“Arthur, you are the man who has succeeded in changing my daughter Silvana. You have made my daughter wiser and made her spin her future well. Well, Arthur I approve of your relationship with the princess just my way.” The man ended his words with a faint smile that he rarely showed. While Arthur is powerless to resist the full sense of relief once he gains approval. However
before he euphoria, the man held him first.
The young man's head was immediately bowed, an expression of relief and gratitude instantly evident on his face. Silvana is exactly the same as her partner, she is very happy to hear her father willing to give up and give
blessing their relationship.
“Thank you very much for accepting me. But there is still one more thing I want to say,” said Arthur seriously.
“What is it?”
“I want to have a wedding with your daughter next month.” Arthur said in full
respect to his father-in-law.
“Why should it be that fast? I do know that you guys have been in this relationship for over two years. But for me it's too fast.”
“Dad, being the wife of Arthur was also a dream of mine for a long time. I would be very happy if I could be united with him in a legitimate marriage,” Silvana said.
“I beg you to allow me to marry Silvana, next month.”
“What are you two hiding from me?” Let's just say this is a suspicion of a father who saw the strange gurgle of both people in front of him. The man squinted his eyes.
Both Arthur and Silvana immediately gulped their own saliva once they understood the meaning of casting it in the eyes of the two men who decided about the sustainability of their future.
“Dad actually—”
“Silvana let me,” cut Arthur fast. As a gentleman and responsible man he should be able to say everything to the man who will be his father-in-law. No matter what happens. Although Arthur admits that now the guts are a bit shrunk.
“So?”
“In fact, Silvana is currently pregnant with my child,”times Arthur firmly.
Like a lightning strike, the father was immediately shocked to hear the words spoken by Arthur with full courage. For a moment only silence enveloped the room. None of the three of them dared to open their voices for a while. The two couples can only look down. Waiting for the blasphemy they will receive from the man.
Suddenly the table that mediates between them shifted, followed by a swift step approaching the two of them. Silvana was immediately shocked when she found her father clutching Arthur's shirt
put on.
“Busty!” furious Silvana's father. “What did you just say? You dare touch her when you haven't married her?!” snarled the man again with a thump. Realizing that his father will beat up Arthur, Silvana
kontan immediately tried to separate the two.
“Dad please don't do this! Don't hurt Arthur. It's not just because of his mistake. It's my fault too. If you really want to punish him, then punish me also because I'm guilty of this.”
“Where might I do it to you Silvana? You're pregnant! How can you do this to Dad, son?” the man shouted to the princess just like him.
voice up. Her tears are spilling.
Seeing his daughter crying, the man's heart softened. The fist that had been clenched instantly instantly divorced. He also released Arthur from his hand. The man turned his face, then chose to turn around and leave the two of them.
“I'm so happy when you've changed Silvana. But this fact really hurt me. I have truly become a failed father. You let me down and your mom too. Do all you want, I don't want to care about anything anymore,” said the man who then completely left them both.
“I'm sorry Arthur. Because I was cheated, you almost got beat up by Dad.” Silvana bowed while shedding her tears. Seeing that, Arthur just gently rubbed the top of his lover's head in full
dear.
“Already, the important thing is that your father has given us permission. I want to marry you anyway, whether you get pregnant or not. It's just a pity that our situation wasn't so good when I finally decided to ask your father for his blessing. Instead of you crying we better start putting together our wedding. I can't wait to see you in a white dress,” Arthur replied as he kissed his girlfriend's forehead. The man's optimism was quite contagious to Silvana, because in the next second the girl had stopped crying again. He gave his smile to his girlfriend.
“Yes, let's face this together.”

“I don't want to know you have to come anyway. Ah~ yes wait a minute! I'm talking to this Jiyya. Well Jiyya anyway I want to see you on your wedding day. No rejection, okay? Adios. I waited
my dear friend.”Jiyya just smiled. He was actually at the location where his best friend was married. He only wanted to prank Silvana once and wanted at least it to be quite successful. She saw the girl looking for her presence, Silvana looks very beautiful with a white dress and thin makeup that makes her look charming.
The excitement of the party event made me feel a little lonely, indeed he was accompanied by Dean earlier. It was just that Jiyya asked the young man to stay away from her for a while. After getting word of this wedding, Jiyya felt nothing. But after seeing for themselves the process, there was a slight sense of disbelief that the relationship between Silvana and their lecturer could apparently get to such a serious stage. And Jiyya herself?
“You are always alone in the crowd. That one habit of yours never changes huh Jiyya?” Hearing the baritone voice of a man whom Jiyya knew very well forced the girl to turn away. Sure enough, he…
“Halo, Sir Joan.”
“For a long time no see, Jiyya.” The swish in his heart was still felt. The man only mentioned his name. But the beating that enveloped the heart then slipped when he saw a little girl who was carried by Joan. He may not be even a year old. She looks so sweet. “How are you?” ask Joan.
“Good, I guess.”
“That's a relief.”
Jiyya stared long at the little girl Joan was carrying. “Your daughter?”
“Ya.”
“Nice to see him, he looks very funny.”
“Truely because I am also a handsome father.”
Pause for a while until then Jiyya stared at Joan.
“Who is his mother?”
“Try guess.”
“Maria?”
“Tap.”
“Congratulations on your marriage and also to your little daughter. I didn't know you were married.” Joan just smiled wryly.
“I also don't.”
“I'm happy life goes smoothly.”
“You think so?”
“Kurasa.”
“How are you married?” Joan asked, then Jiyya just showed her fingers that had been circled by the silver ring without having to say the answer. Seeing that, Joan sighed then smiled knotfully.
“Until the end you don't let me have your heart. Oh yes Jiyya, if at that time you did not go and accept me. Maybe the end of the story could be better. We can get married with a party more festive than this.” Joan tested with a piety.
“That's just your guess.”
“No, it's just my imagination. To be honest, I envy the relationship between your friend and my partner. They're tough.”
“Ya, whereas I am very weak.”
“No. It's not just you. But I am also.”
“This is my best friend's wedding, shouldn't we have fun?”
“Yes, this is also my friend's wedding. I think I agree with your idea.”
“The past will remain the past.”
“I agree.”
