Ch. 62SUDDEN PROPOSAL


Dinner went smoothly, almost all the dishes served were left a little. A satisfied smile flashed on Sebastian's mother's face.

"Sebastian ... We're done eating. I was wondering the same thing you brought in the kitchen ..."

Amelie, who was still enjoying her food, suddenly stopped and asked, " Well, what are you talking about, Mom? How can I not know anyway?"

"You better be quite."Sebastian stared furiously at his sister. Amelie was curious. "Mom ... Look at him! Don't make me more curious Sebastian."

"Sebastian .. come on, Don't make it more curious," his mother insisted.

Sebastian then smiled. "My mom and Amelie are amazing ... Look at Raveline, she doesn't ask a lot of questions like you two."

Jesus Christ! Sebastian didn't know, if in fact I was no less curious about the contents of the paper bag he kept next to him.

"Yes, but I can't wait for everything."Sebastian then stood up from where he was sitting, grabbing the paper bag he had stored in the empty seat near where he was sitting.

"Surely you all want to know the contents of this bag right?"Sebastian lifted a paper bag with an unusually large size to the front of his body.

Amelie looks very excited and enthusiastic. Her face looked so interested in the paper bag that was swinging in front of Sebastian.

"What the hell is that? Please tell us faster, will you? What's happened in the kitchen?"

His mother replied, " Yes, of course. She went into the kitchen to find El ..."

"Wow really, Sebastian who is super anti to enter the kitchen suddenly wants to enter there. It's incredible ...."Amelie chuckled softly. Sebastian began to reach out his hand to shake his brother's head. Rush rush Amelie screaming for help to her mother.

"That's it, don't start again. Give your brother a chance to do something that he has prepared for El ... Please be nice."

"It's easy, mom. If you want to stay, stay put. Why bother."Amelie gave a suggestion that was greeted with her mother's approving face.

"Also, you're right. Why not think about getting there."

The others were having trouble with me. My heart kept beating faster because of impatience. I was the one who made the mess go awry.

"Mel, I'm not okay to go home, it's not good if you have to stay all night, make trouble later."

"Ah, The El ... I can't wait to see what you think, but I'm curious to know what you think of Sebastian?"

Sebastian nodded slowly. "Alright, to shorten the time, I'll talk to the point to El ..."

The atmosphere of the dining room suddenly changed instantly into tegangngkus. I squeezed the edge of the cloth, my heart pounding uncontrollably.

Then Sebastian took out a package with a gold ribbon from the paper bag,"El, please open it, if later it doesn't suit your taste, I can return it and replace it with a new one."

I reached out and received a small box package from Sebastian's hand. Slowly, I began to tear off the wrapping paper. A black velvet box appears after all the wrapping paper is perfectly open.

"Waw! I think someone is going to propose ..."Amelie cheered with joy. "Come on, Come On, Come on, hurry up, I want to know."

My hand again moved quickly to open the velvet box that was in my hand.

A beautiful sparkling ring was inside the velvet box. "What is this ?"I asked Sebastian.

"Raveline doesn't want to be your girlfriend, I mean ...would you like to be my future wife?"Sebastian looked at me with a serious look.

I'm a little surprised. This is not in the scenario plan that I have arranged with him.

"What does it mean? You're proposing to me?"I asked confused. Sebastian didn't answer right away.

"Mom ... what do you think of my decision? Do you agree or don't you accept?"Sebastian even asked his mother.

"It worked? Why did you ask mom?"his mother laughed amused," How Are You El? Will you accept my son's proposal?"

Sebastian looked at me and coded,"how's El? Did you accept my proposal?"

I was silent for a moment, not looking at Sebastian's face. This wasn't in the plan at all, so I was confused as to how.

"Just accept it first Deh raveline dear, if you later feel it does not fit, you do not need to feel free to tell me. The secret to success lies in God's word, El."Amelie tried to advise me.

Mom smiled to see Amelie who finally chose to intervene and think wisely.

"This time, mom completely agrees with what Amelie said. Business up the aisle, it's a secret. It's like the secret of a person's age, no one knows."

I sighed. "yes, as everyone wants. I'll try to consider the situation for now ... so am I..."

Everyone in the room was holding their breath waiting for my answer.

"Sebastian, I'll take your advice ..."I replied, half-bowed, because I was embarrassed to hear his own words.

Hearing the answer from me, the one who immediately looked very happy was precisely Sebastian's mother.

"El ... I can't believe you're considering my son."Sebastian's mother hurriedly stood up and walked over to where I was sitting. "Thank you so much for your decision, Raveline ..."

"Mom ... the one who proposed to me, my mother, who seemed very happy."Sebastian rubbed his mother's shoulder.

"Yes, obviously happy, rather than your unclear candidate, who is not necessarily like Raveline."Amelie defended her mother.

"Why are we all grateful? I should be happy and grateful. Because it has been given a valuable opportunity as it is now."
I smiled.

"Yes obviously we thank you, because finally you can be part of this family. For Amelie, you are a great friend and after I saw you for myself, I immediately liked you as soon as we first met in the hospital."

Hearing the explanation from Sebastian's mother, I immediately blushed with shame. Although happy with the reception given by Sebastian's large family, my inner self was a little unsettled.

I feel like I don't deserve to be loved and be a part of this family. I'm afraid and doubtful, what if Sebastian's family finds out about my profession as a comfort woman?

Various bad thoughts actually made me want to directly reject Sebastian's proposal. Seeing the look on her mother's face made me so happy.

"Raveline ... I promise you, you won't regret this decision."

I suddenly knew what was going on in Sebastian's heart.

"You are so sweet, brother!"Amelie teased her brother. "Raveline you will not regret being part of this family. I promise to be the best and most beautiful sister-in-law!"

I laughed at Amelie's words.
