"How about Mr, Ma?" ask Romi.
Mr. Budi and Bu Budi looked at his daughter's face. Then Mr. Budi started talking.
"Sorry Son Romi, honestly we are very surprised to hear this news. Ela has also never talked about this to us" said Mr. Budi.
"Sorry sir, I'm very busy taking care of my new job. So that I haven't had time to talk about this to you guys" welcome Ela feeling guilty.
"We understand your activities, son, but the news you just delivered is really surprising to us. A.. can Mr. Romi accept the situation of Ela and our family? Understandably we are just ordinary people, from a simple family. Can Mr Romi's family accept it? We have only two daughters, for us children are our most precious treasure. That's why we want them to be happy. If they are happy we will also be happier" said Mr. Budi.
Ela's eyes seemed glazed - the glass heard her Father's answer.
"Thank God my family can accept it all, even yesterday my Dad and Mom wanted to come here but I and Shela agreed that we were the ones who came so that Father and Mother were not surprised. Later after that I just set my family plan that came here to propose to Shela reami" said Romi.
"You how's Nduk? Are you happy with this decision? Have you thought about everything?" ask Mr. Budi with affection.
"God willing, Ela has thought about it, Sir and Ela are happy" she replied, crying.
"Don't cry Nduk... You are our youngest daughter. Even though you have been successful until what is now in our hearts, you are still our spoiled daughter" said Bu Budi.
"It's a happy cry, ma'am.. I implore you and Mom to give us the blessing of our relationship. God willing we both really seriously want to get married" replied Ela.
Mr. Budi took a deep breath.
"We approve of it, son. As long as you are happy" welcome Mr. Budi.
"Alhamdulillah." said Romi.
"Later at the inauguration of the shop all thanks, I will bring my parents to come here, sir. How's it?" ask Romi.
"Isn't it too soon, Romi?" ask Mr. Budi to worry. To be honest he was still in doubt with the Romi family. Were Romi's parents willing to accept their family situation.
"Sir, my age is already very enough to get married, plus we both live in a big city that must be very much a trial. I also fear that for too long it adds to sins. I really hope to be hastened" pinta Romi sincerely.
"Yes already Nak Romi, if it is the best" said Mr. Budi.
"Alhamdulillah." welcome Ela and Romi together.
"I will help Shela to realize her dream all along. Building a place of business Father and Mother" said Romi.
"Don't Mas, if the problem is just me" refused Ela softly.
"Well if that's what you want. From today call me Romi ya or Nak Romi just like you. Don't call me Father anymore. Because soon I will be the son of the Father and Mother as well" pinta Romi to his future father-in-law.
"I. Yes, Son Romi" replied Bu Budi awkwardly.
"Yes sir, I will say the same Ma'am" said Ela.
"Thank God everything went well, I was so afraid that Father and Mother would reject me" Romi said.
"Actually if the person of Nak Romi you do not doubt. We knew each other a few years ago. I'm very sure Nak Romi is a good, responsible and hardworking man. It's just that you feel that our family is not worthy if juxtaposed with the family of Nak Romi" said Mr. Budi.
"Alhamdulillah sir, my parents can accept it. Last week we met and both my guys received Ela well. Even they asked after we got married, we stayed with them. Because he said in a quiet house" replied Romi.
"Well that's how it is when it gets old.. By the time the children are old enough to marry, they will build their own households. Especially girls, will come wherever her husband takes her. We only have two children, now only two" said Mr. Budi.
"God willing we will often - often visit the Father and Mother later" Romi replied.
"It's okay, we really understand your busy life in Jakarta. You are healthy - healthy and living happily, it is a happiness for us parents. Eeel.. later after marriage be a good daughter-in-law ta Nduk. Think of Romi's parents as your own. The problem is also the same son, if you are devoted to in-laws" advises Mr. Budi.
"Yes sir" Ela shed tears, not yet married but she already felt like she was leaving her parents.
"Don't cry nduk.happy day greet with happiness too. We are willing to let you step into your future. As parents we can only pray that you get a husband who loves you and loves you as much as we love you" said Bu Budi.
Ela hugged her mother tightly while crying.
"God willing I will love Ela Bu, Sir. I cannot promise in marriage there will be no tears. Because marriage is the longest worship and learning for us. There will be a lot of things we go through both sad and happy. I will protect and love Ela because she is the woman I have been looking for to be my life partner" Romi promised.
Mr. Budi smiled at Romi's reply and patted her gently affectionate shoulder.
"Father can only tell you, please take care of your son. Don't ever hurt him. If you don't want him again, never use your hands and words to hurt him. Enough of you to come to the Father and give him back to us. We will accept it with open arms" said Mr. Budi.
Ela began to shed tears upon hearing a message from her father to Romi.
"God will never sir. I want to age with Ela until death do us part. Like Mom and Dad here, live quietly and happily together. I learned a lot from my father and mother's life here" Romi replied.
"Already.have not cried again Nduk.. " Mother said to calm Ela down.
"It's late at night. You guys better take a break. Tomorrow we will talk again about your intentions with her sister Ela. We will start preparing for your wedding" continued Budi.
"Thank you sir, thank you Mom. "Reported Romi happily. Now he can breathe a sigh of relief all can be resolved well.
