"Dad?" Lily uttered.
"My princess, just last night I told you, I don't want to give you to anyone. Now, you are introducing someone to me." Lily's father replied.
"Dad, that's..." Lily started to say something but trailed off. She could understand her father's worries. If she really got married, she would be with Eli, so what about her parents, who would be with them if not her? That was the question, she couldn't find anything.
"Don't worry sir, one day after our wedding. We will be with you for three days every week. The other three days will be with my family. She will never leave you." Eli replied. He understood their worries and answered them.
Finally, a smile flashed in Lily's father's eyes. He thought that was at least a good thing. So, his daughter could be with them even after the wedding.
"Really? really? really are we going to be with them every week?" Lily asked Eli excitedly.
"Hmm, Really." Eli nodded his head and replied to her.
The weight she had been carrying on her shoulders until now had lessened. She sighed with relief. Who wouldn't want to be with their parents after the wedding. This solution was like a win-win situation for her. She would be with Eli's family and she would be with her parents too.
"Mark, we not only have a good son-in-law, we also have a good deal. Now, stop your possessiveness and look at their love and him with clear eyes." Lily's mother commented. She accepted her daughter's love and she also liked the deal that her daughter would be with them after the wedding. She knew that Eli was sincere and that his eyes were filled with true love when he looked at his daughter.
Mark was also satisfied. He knew that one day his daughter would get married and they would not be able to be with her every day. He liked this deal rather than not being with her at all. He finally looked at Eli and observed him for a moment and was satisfied with him. Well, his son-in-law has already given him the opportunity to be with his daughter after marriage. What more could he ask for? He released Lily from his arms and nodded in acceptance.
"Cough, cough," Lily coughed to get their attention. "Well, Mom and Dad, there's something, I need your permission."Her parents looked at her, waiting for their daughter to say what she wanted to say.
Lily took a deep breath and said, "I want to marry him TOMORROW."
Not only her parents, Eli was also surprised. He stared at her without blinking. Lily's father looked at her and asked, "Why?"
"Because, we can't be without each other." Lily replied with the same answer when her mother asked why.
Lily's father was about to say something, but before he could, his wife came up to him and stopped him by holding his hand. As usual, he listened to her. He thought his daughter would be with them for a few more years. She was still a little girl, wasn't she?
"Okay. You can marry him tomorrow." Her mother Selina Cela, agreed to her daughter's marriage.
Mark Cela also agreed "As my wife said, you can. My princess."
Lily hugged them both, pecked their cheeks and thanked them. "Thank you Mom, Thank you Dad."
Lily's eyes welled up and she sniffled in their embrace. Lily's father also got emotional looking at her. "My princess, We already agreed with you. Don't cry anymore."
Lily's mother patted her daughter's back. She was happy for her daughter. Lily stopped crying and stepped back from their embrace.
Lily's father asked her. "We agreed, but what about his family?"
Lily smiled at her father and said "Well, I took permission from his family head and he agreed."
"Oh" Lily's father nodded his head and looked at Eli and called out "You, come here."
