Beautiful brocade-collared peach dress tightly wrapped Aisyah's body so as to make her aura more graceful and charming.

Aisyah stared at herself in front of the mirror while smiling to herself. Tonight he was so excited that Lee invited him to dinner with his family. The moment that Aisyah was waiting for finally arrived as well, it had been a long time that she wanted to introduce her aunt to the Lee family.

"Well, beautiful ponakan Bude," praised the aunt as she entered Aisyah's room.

Aisyah turned her body towards the aunt while smiling shyly. "Ah, Bude can do it," he blushed.

"Bude Marika also looks amazing tonight." Aisyah praised the aunt who still looks very beautiful despite her old age.

"You are yes." Bude Marika patted Aisyah's shoulder slowly.

Tin... The horn sound interrupted Aisyah and Bude Marika to quickly prepare before going ahead to meet someone who had picked them up.

"Let's get Bude."

"Step, nduk. Bude, grab a bag first."

"Yes, Aisha wait."

Bude Marika picked up her bag in the room and rushed to Aisyah again. Then Aisyah did not forget to lock the door of the house before entering the car of Lee's men with her aunt.

After spending approximately fifteen minutes on the trip, finally Aisyah and Bude Marika arrived in front of a typical Indonesian restaurant that is famous in Jakarta for its delicious food.

"Please come in, Ma'am Aisyah and Ms. Marika."

Two bodyguards guarding the front of the restaurant escorted Aisyah and her aunt into the restaurant, which Lee and her family had reserved for dinner tonight, which may leave a special impression.

"Welcome, Aisyah and Marika's mother" Markov, Lee's father, said with a friendly smile.

"Thank you, um."

"Thank you very much, sir."

"Together, equally."

"Please sit. Bude, Aisyah," Lee said as he pulled up a chair to seat Aisyah and her aunt.

"Thank you, Lee's son."

"Together, Bude."

"Thank you, Lee," said Aisyah who was only replied by a smile and wink by Lee.

"Bude, you know, this is my father, Markov. And this is my sister, Steffany." Lee introduced his family to each other at the dinner that night.

"Oh, also know Mr. Markov, Nak Steffany, I'm Marika, his real aunt Aisyah."

"Ooh so this is Bude Marika who is often praised by Lee?" said Appa Markov who made Bude Marika blush.

"Well, it turns out true said Oppa Lee, Unnie Aisyah's aunt is still very beautiful despite her age is old like Appa," chirped Steffany melted the condition that was still uncomfortable to be full of laughter.

"Steffi."

"Hum?"

"Appa is also still very handsome right?" ask Appa Markov to his daughter.

"It's still if Appa's skin doesn't wrinkle like this" Steffany joked, poking his father's wrinkled cheeks.

Lee, Aisyah, and Bude Marika are made to laugh by Steffany's mischievous behavior. While Appa Markov can only put on a pouting face that even looks funny.

"Well, why did you two humiliate me in front of Ayesha and Bude Marika, with your absurd behavior?" lee's Protest to His Father and Sister.

But instead of stopping, Steffany and the father continue to act silly and make Aisyah and Bude Marika laugh because of it.

"Oppa, Steffy, this is my important event, you can't ruin it" whined Lee who tried to stop the joke of his father and sister who did have a good sense of humor, he said, not like her slightly stiff self.

"If you don't like it, go. Don't stop laughing between us" joked Appa Markov, who made Lee's face instantly turn sour.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, son Lee, he seems to want to say something but we keep laughing, so now listen to him carefully, okay?" said Bude Marika who immediately changed the atmosphere to be serious.

Lee cleared his throat to ease the nervousness that suddenly attacked him. Then after feeling quite calm he reached into something in his shirt pocket.

After that he got up from his chair and walked over to Aisyah who seemed to be wondering what Lee would say to her.

"Aisha, I wanted to convey this wish for a long time, but I know, I must make you sure of me first, and I think now is the right time to convey this wish. So, will you marry me, Ayesha?" Nervously Lee expressed his intention and desire to propose to Aisyah and make the woman he loved so much as his wife.

Speechless. That was what happened to Aisyah back then, she was very surprised by what Lee had just told her. Aisyah still could not believe seeing Lee standing before her while holding out a ring box.

"I love you, Aisha. And I love you more than I love myself, so I hope you'll be my wife and the mother of my children."

Finally the strands of words that had been buried for a long time in Lee's heart were revealed. Although he did not know whether to be accepted or rejected by Aisyah, but Lee was determined to accept anything.

"But Lee... I am a widow while you have never been married, is it appropriate for a woman like me to be with a man who is still perfect like you?" said Aisyah while lowering her face because she was unable to see the sincerity of love that emanated from Lee's eyes.

"Aisha, listen to me. I will accept your shortcomings, I will love you for who you are, I will not demand you to be perfect because you know, I am also lacking a lot and not at all perfect as you said earlier. Then don't you ever think of standing by me...."

"Only you deserve me, with you, can I be a better and stronger person. From you I learned many good things that I have never done before. And with you, I feel like life is complete because everything I need is in you," lee said as he looked at Aisyah with a gaze that showed that he did love the woman sincerely for no reason.

Slowly Aisyah began to dare to look at Lee's face and when she looked at him Aisyah immediately shed tears.

On one side of her heart was happy, but on the other side Aisyah felt confused and sad simultaneously.

Loud in Aisyah's mind when Devano and his family came to propose first. Now the fear came to Aisyah's mind, in her heart she said that she was still traumatized to start another household midwife.

Seeing Aisyah silent while holding her forehead made Lee immediately worried.

"Aisha, what's wrong with you?" tanyanya is attentive.

"My head is dizzy Lee, can I just answer later?"

Lee closed his application ring box and put the precious object back in his shirt pocket.

"Of course, I won't force you, now I'd better take you home huh?"

Although actually Lee's heart was a little disappointed, but he did not want to be selfish because from the beginning he knew that he had to understand a lot - a lot of Aisyah's situation.

"But we haven't even had dinner yet" interrupted Aisyah's heartlessness.

"It's okay, we can have dinner together again at another time, which is important now that you rest so that your dizziness is gone," Lee said with patience that makes Bude Marika, Appa Markov, the first lady, and Steffany, looking at him with a feeling of awe.

Seriate....
