Sera and Damar finally arrived in Rome after a three-hour journey of more than forty-five minutes on the Frecciargento high-speed train, apparently Lusi and Erick were waiting for them at Termini station.
"Hello, honey. Welcome to Rome," Lusi welcomed his son and daughter-in-law, "how was his journey? Pleasant?"
"Very fun, Ma. You see, I was not drunk on the trip like when I was on a plane yesterday" said Sera.
"So yesterday you were drunk on the trip?" Lusi made sure while holding both cheeks of the son-in-law.
Sera just nodded.
"Yes, Ma. Along the way he just slept, he said dizzy and nauseous" Damar continued.
"Geez, what a pity you are, baby. So you're better now?" Luci.
"Already, Ma," Sera replied with a smile.
"Thank God." Lusi was relieved.
"After, talk later. We should now go home, so that Sera and Damar can rest," said Erick who had listened to their chat earlier.
"Yes, Papa's right. Come on, we're home, Mama's also prepared some delicious food for you." Lusi immediately held Sera's hand.
The four men left the train station and headed towards Acqua Acetosa in the foothills of Parioli.
Twenty minutes later, they arrive at a very beautiful and magnificent European-style house, Sera is amazed to see the building that is claimed to be the residence of Lusi and Erick.
"Let's go in!" bring Lusi.
They also entered and were immediately welcomed by two domestic assistants who were also Indonesian.
"You eat first, only after that rest," Pinta Lusi.
The newlyweds nodded at the same time, indeed their stomachs were hungry because it was time for lunch.
At the dining table has a variety of foods, both typical of Indonesia and Italian style, Lusi really welcomes them well.
"Oh yes, later tonight Mama plans to hold small events to celebrate your wedding. Mama wants to invite friends Mama and Papa, so she can get acquainted with Sera," explained Lusi.
Damar glanced at Sera, then looked at Lusi, "Ma, it's best not to. I told you, we don't want a party."
"No party, baby! Just a small event," denied Lusi.
"Yes, Damar. Just a casual get-together and Papa feels Sera also does not mind." Erick interrupted, then looked at his son-in-law for approval, "yes, right, Sera?"
Sera was silent in tension, but eventually nodded resignedly, "I-iya, Pa."
"Tuh, right! Sera agrees, " Erick said.
Damar sighed.
"Honey, Mama and Papa have been looking forward to these times for a long time, we are very happy with your marriage. So let us vent that happiness by showing off our beautiful new daughter-in-law." Lusi spoke while smilingly looking at Sera.
Both of them felt awkward and guilty at the same time hearing the words of Luci, they could not imagine how disappointed the two parents would be if they knew the truth.
"really it. So we hope you understand it" Erick continued.
"Yes, okay, Pa."
Lusi and Erick smiled happily.
"Then later tonight Sera must dance beautiful," pinta Lusi girang.
Sera just nodded and smiled, to be honest she felt sad and sorry to see Lusi who was so happy, even though she was playing tricks on the woman.
The four of them began to eat and enjoy the dish, occasionally Lusi and Erick jokingly invited everyone's laughter.
Sera feels more guilty because Lusi and Erick are so good, they are so sincere to her, making her feel like she has new parents.

Lunch is over, now the newlyweds are in the room that Lusi provides for them.
Sera sat on the edge of the bed, her face looked gloomy and Damar noticed that.
"Why you?"
"I feel sorry for Mom and Dad."
Damar frowned in surprise, "Why do you feel sorry for them?"
"They're so happy with this marriage, how about we split up? They must be very sad and disappointed, Om."
Damar exhaled heavily, "What else do you want? It's the only way to end all this, do you want to be stuck in this marriage forever?"
Sera shook her head quickly, "No! Of course I don't want to! I'm still young, I still want to pursue my dreams and marry the man I love."
Damar was stunned to hear Sera's words, for some reason his heart was throbbing and a little disappointed. Is he expecting anything?
"But what reason will we give to mama and papa Om later? We can't get divorced for no reason, can we?" Sera asked confusedly.
"Later think about it."
Sera sighed, "I'm afraid to imagine it, Om. I won't dare to see mom and dad Om again after we get divorced."
"You don't be afraid, no matter what happens, Om will always protect you."
Sera just nodded her head.
Damar had promised himself that he would always look after and protect Sera. He will not break his promise.
"Then you rest, Om will go out first."
"Where are you going?" ask Sera to know.
"Om just wanted to look around papa's vineyard" Damar replied.
Sera immediately splashy, "Garden of wine? So Papa Om has a vineyard? Where is it, Om?"
"After the house."
"Well, then I'm coming, dong! I'd like to see the vineyard, too, Om." Sera was very enthusiastic, instantly she forgot her anxiety and heartbreak.
"Aren't you tired?" Damar.
"Not at all."
"Yes already, yuk!"
"Horay!" Sera shouted in excitement, then rushed out of the room, "Come on, Om. I can't wait to see the vineyard!"
Damar just bobbed his head looking at Sera's behavior and soon caught up with the girl.
