Mr. Baghat was notified about the matter and supported it. All Zain's elders from his family held a meeting about the request and votes were taken in. Majority of them accepted it and a few were against it with the concern that it might backlash badly. The urgent meeting ended peacefully despite their differences, and this became Larona's new chapter of her life. Zain was committed to let this happen. His love for her grew gracefully and their bond was meaningful.

 The date where Larona was given the chance to talk to Zain's parents, some heat was showing between Mr. Idris and her. They were seated at the dining room and the first thing that Mr. Idris noticed about her is the kind of outfit she chose to meet them. He cleared his throat during their dinner time and calls her.

"I take it that Zain hasn't told you enough information about a lady's dress code in this family laws." Larona and Emelda surprisingly kept quiet, and the mood changed. "What do you mean Mr. Baghat?" Larona replied as she places her cutlery on the table. "Only men of this family wear pants at formal meetings. I am not pleased with your formal attire for this date." Idris strictly commented. Larona was taken a back from this tiny problem. She kindly smiles and apologizes for that mistake but then Mr. Idris was not taking it well.

 "I won't tolerate the thought of allowing a child to wear pants like we are men. Please exit my house and next time come correct. Tell my son to school you about this before approaching us." Emelda jumped in the confrontation by saying, "Please my love, let's not upset each other? We make mistakes unknowingly." Larona was shocked by the attitude that Idris started. She got offended by the tone from Zain's stepfather during their conversation. She quietly stands up and walks in front of Zain's stepfather and twirls like a model. She respectfully steps back while standing and smiles at both of the elders. 

"You can't be jealous of this fine suit that goes with my gorgeous white coat. Look at me closely and please take time because my kind of clothing screams self-respect." "Larona my child be careful with your words." Emelda interjected. Mr. Baghat and Larona coldly stared at each other, and Idris said to her, "It's only now that you started to get used to the rich life because of Zain. Don't think your weak pride would place a man like myself. Don't get on my wrong side young lady."

 Larona was slightly scared of him but knowing her stubborn self, she did not allow to stop standing up for herself. "Respectfully, whether you approve of me or not, I really don't care about you personally. I'm doing this for supporting my man who isn't exactly your son but that's okay Mr. Baghat. I'm deeply sorry for this night going left for whatever reason Mrs. Emelda. I highly value you more than your partner unfortunately. However, before I leave, I need to add on another thing." She giggles quietly and stands on her red bottom heels. Mr. Idris looks at her and Emelda was quietly shocked at this moment.

"Zain is well aware of how my heart is with his eyes closed. He is matured enough to guide me while facing my flaws. We go way back with our love and marriage to us doesn't mean it is the biggest milestone of our lives.  We simply want this because we respect the formality of it and unify the Family." When Larona began to take few steps to leave the mansion, Mr.Baghat stops her from leaving. She turned to look at him.

 "You do have a valid point. As you know, Zain is my blessing just as much as his younger brother Omer. You see Larona? If you think you know exactly what you're getting yourself into because of love, then I dearly hope that you are just like my wife when it comes to loyalty. Otherwise, you will disappear like we never knew you. Bear in mind that when you know too much, there is no turning back." 

"I was mindful about this honestly, but I can't let Zain go when we went through so much and even rebuild our future. Mr. Baghat please give me a chance to be the wife I know I will be for his heart and family matters. To show how serious I am about our future, I had to cut off from my own family because of being aware of the kind of danger i might put them in this life. I won't walk away from him if you still think of disapproving me as his future wife. " Larona responded. 

"My husband, please consider this. I am sure about Larona becoming the official wife for Zain. Her capability within this life is outstanding. My love, they share a child together so let's bless them with sincerity." Mrs. Baghat said to encourage her spouse. Mr. Idris strictly looks at Larona and his wife and gave his final words before he left them alone.

"Next time, wear a dress at any formal meeting."  Larona and Emelda quietly smiled at each other and both of them were joyful about this stage being passed.
