One week later. Axel has now been released from the hospital, according to his promise to Melani that he would propose to Melani soon. Preparations are complete. Axel looked at himself in the mirror's reflection. His dignified clothes added to Axel's handsome impression. Even Axel himself felt like he was falling in love with himself. "Wow, my son is so handsome," said Mrs. Anne, entering Axel's room to see if Axel was ready or not. Axel smiled. He looked at Mrs. Anne in the reflection of the mirror. "Mom, you are also beautiful today," replied Axel, praising Mrs. Anne. Mrs. Anne blushed when she heard Axel's compliment. “You have to be prepared, huh? When you get there, you have to be able to convince Melani's parents. It's not just about convincing. Later, you also have to prove it," said Mrs. Anne. Axel nodded his head firmly, really, very firmly. "Mom, don't worry, I won't disappoint you," said Axel. Mrs. Anne smiled, glancing at the watch on her wrist. “Are you ready yet? Is there anything else you want to prepare?" asked Mrs. Anne while taking the bag she had put on Axel's table. “Nothing, I'm just waiting for you two. I've finished a long time ago," replied Axel. Mrs. Anne chuckled. "It seems that you are very enthusiastic. Let's go now. Your dad is waiting downstairs." Axel smiled happily. He didn't expect it. If it were today, he would meet Melani to propose and get married soon. "I hope this time, everything can go smoothly," thought Axel. * At Melani's place, she is busy preparing everything. Melani must have told her parents that someone would come to propose to her. Melani's parents were thrilled to hear this. They even wondered who it was, but Melani kept it a secret. “You are wonderful, Melani. Later, your future husband will be able to look at you," said Melani's mother, looking at Melani, who was dressed in soft makeup but looked so beautiful. Melani smiled at the praise. "I didn't expect someone to propose to me so quickly," replied Melani. "This is called fate, fate, no one will know, isn't that right?" Melani just nodded. If it were fate, maybe Melani would be married by now. “I am still curious. Who will propose to you, Melani? You kept it too secret from us," said Melani's mother. Melani chuckled, shaking her head. Arrange a little of her hair, which still looks messy. "You will find out for yourself, and he is excellent. Even his family accepted my presence there," answered Melani, with a happy expression on her face that made Melani's mother smile, too. "I'll be happy if you get a new family who loves you more, huh?" Melani hugged her mother's body tightly, genuinely touched by what her mother said. "No matter how good they are to me, it's clear you are much better," said Melani between hugs. "It's been sad before. His son was proposed to, which created a sad scene," said the father, who suddenly came into Melani's room, and they suddenly let go of their embrace. "Come on, come on! We'll wait at the front, and it looks like they'll be here soon." Melani sighed, feeling a little uncertain and embarrassed because Axel was going to propose to her now. Unlike Axel, he has gone quite far. It turns out that the distance from the city to Melani's place is quite far, but not that far. The rural atmosphere is also very relaxed, making you feel a little calm in the atmosphere. "Don't be tense, Axel. Instead of proposing, you'll faint," sneered Mr. Albert, who was looking through the car window. Axel had been silent all this while looking at the view. Axel chuckled in annoyance, hearing her taunt. "Not like that!" His parents just laughed. It didn't take long for them to arrive at a hut finally. And Axel is sure that this is Melani's house. Not too big, and not too small. Minimalist for the size of their village. "Isn't this the address?" Mr. Albert asked Axel behind him. Axel nodded firmly. Mrs. Anne had a delighted face. Very happy. “Come on, let's go down! I can't wait to meet my future daughter-in-law!" said Mrs. Anne enthusiastically. She went down first. Even Axel and Mr. Albert could only shake their heads. They walked closer to the entrance, and Mr. Albert knocked on the door while saying hello. While waiting for the door to open, they looked at each other and smiled friendly. Mrs. Anne, with all the equipment she brought, had lots of things in her hands Check it out! The door opened, and Melani's parents came out simultaneously, but a second later, their smiles turned stiff, and they were not happy in the slightest. “Y-you!” said Melani's father, pointing at Mr. Albert with his index finger. Mrs. Anne and Axel, who didn't understand, just frowned while looking at his father, who was also silent looking at Melani's father. Mr. Albert changed his expression, and he immediately smiled friendly. “Hello, sir, ma'am. I-" "You guys want to propose to my child?" Melani's father interrupted, his tone sounding stern as if he didn't like their presence. Melani, who felt something was strange, immediately came out to see what was happening between them. "Mom, dad. Why are you quiet at the front? Please invite me in," said Melani, but no one responded to her. Melani's father shook his head. “Albert was a land mafia when he was young. Does he still have the face to come back? Even cursing my child right now?" Excited! Mrs. Anne and Axel were just silent, hearing what was said. Likewise, Melani, who was shocked by this. “It has passed, so let it pass. I-" “There is no past! If you were like that from the beginning, what would happen to you now?" interrupted his father's Melani. He shook his head vigorously. "I reject this proposal!" Axel and Melani immediately looked at Melani's father sharply, and they were both shocked by what had happened. “Oh, can't we talk about it, okay? Maybe there was a slight misunderstanding?” said Axel, trying to calm Melani's father. He didn't want his application to be canceled. “There's nothing to talk about! You guys better go home! I don't want my child to be proposed to by a mafia family like you!" Melani's father snapped, and Melani's mother also looked at them sharply. "If I had known from the start that it was you who wanted to propose to my child, I would never have allowed you to set foot in this territory!"
