Camila POVs
I sat in the chair on the back porch. Looking at the vegetable garden belonging to Mother. If in the garden in front of Mother more planting a variety of flowers, while in this back garden Mother uses the existing land to grow various vegetables and some fruit trees such as mango, Rambutan, and others, water guava, longan and dragon fruit.
I saw from the tail of my eyes that Dirga was now also sitting in the chair next to me which was only limited by a small table.
" So... ? What does Dirga want to talk about." I asked without looking at him.
Om Dirga is still silent. He heard her breathing rough.
I looked towards him. Dirga's eyes straight ahead.
" i'm sorry if my arrival surprised you" he said softly.
" i'm obviously surprised. Suddenly, Dirga came with mom and dad. And what did my mother say, Dirga proposed to me and wanted to marry me. Jeez om.... I'm a little kid. I just got into university too. There are no plans to get married. The thought of getting married is never. "my words are long. I'm obviously a little emotional. How not, if suddenly there is a man who came to propose and invite marriage. And worse yet this is Danu loh's om who mengelamar me. If I guess the difference in age between the two of us is ten. Even we have nothing to do. Neither is the boyfriend. How I'm not emotional. What he thought married it could be made playful . Really silly and not funny.
" this past year my mom has been sick a lot. If you are thinking a lot of mama's condition must immediately drop. So then..... As much as possible I take good care of my mother. Always avoid the things that make you think. I just want to see my mom healthy and happy. There was nothing more I expected than that for now. "o.m Dirga spoke at length and I was just listening. What Dirga said was true and I saw for myself when his mother was sick. Daffi also told me about it.
So what is the relationship of her mother om Dirga who is sick with her proposal today. I opened my mouth to ask but I paled because Dirga was looking at me. Makes me nervous about being stared at by those seintens. The words I wanted to say also just disappeared. I keep my mouth tight and don't ask her.
" my mom wants me to get married soon. And it's_______ with you Camila Wijaya."
My eyes were round in disbelief with Dirga's words just now.
" i brought my mom and dad to propose to you" he continued.
I'm appalled. Once again I looked at Dirga's serious-looking face.
" Why should I. If Dirga wants to get married, get married. Don't involve me."
" as I said. Mama wants her I'm married to you. "
"om Dirga's. What is the reason your mother wants me to marry you. It would be impossible if there were no reason. Oh or maybe this is just common sense."
" devil sense?" he cringes.
" yes. It could be just the reason for Dirga."
Om Dirga rubbed his face. Exhaling a rough breath. Turn his body around to face me.
" you remember when you first came home. Mom was sick at the time. "
I'm nodding.
" why could mom think that. It is impossible if Dirga never introduced his girlfriend to him. "
" you're the only woman I've ever taken to see my mom."
" what? Just be right. Don't fib. Dirga is a grown man. It's impossible never to bring a woman in front of mom and dad."
" listen first. Don't interrupt. What I told you is true. I have never had a serious relationship with a woman. So don't be surprised if you never see me bringing a girl home. "
" ow.... So the story om Dirga is a big class playboy who only deals with women just for fun. So often will change girlfriends until at this age do not intend to be serious with one woman. It is difficult to understand the thoughts of adults like om. "
" whatever you think of me. For sure, right now my mom is really urging me to marry you soon. "
" i don't want to. Om Dirga just look for other women who are willing to marry. "
" if only my mother asked me to marry and there were no frills to have with you, I would definitely not ask you or even force you to marry me. There are a lot of women out there who want me to marry willingly. But back again. It's for my mama. I wouldn't be able to see my mom get sick. So I beg you marry me. "
Om Dirga looked at me. I'm honestly confused as to what to say.
" anything I will do as long as you want to marry me.
Seeing the look on her expectant face, I couldn't bear it. Moreover, remembering the mama om Dirga with a sparkling face looks once happiness in his eyes. Would it be possible if I dashed his hopes? Or worse to disappoint him? What if mommy om Dirga comes back sick if I reject her son.
I'm confused, very confused. I honestly don't want to get married. I don't want to take care of the family yet. I don't want to have children, I...... Argh...... I covered my face with both hands. It feels really hard. Being in a position that is all wrong and not profitable at all. Yeah right, try what's in it if I get married to Dirga. There isn't, is there? But there's no harm in me asking him.
" what's in it for me if I want to marry you." I put my hand down and folded it back over my lap. I turned to her. "there's no.?" continued
" if I get married, my future is ruined. My lecture? Somehow with all my love. I want to be a doctor. It was a wish from childhood. What if after marriage I can't make all my dreams come true. Do you want responsibility. "shake my head." No... No. gabe.... I don't want my future ruined just because of a marriage. I'm sorry om. I can't. "
Dirga was silent looking at me. Take one hand and hold it.
" Mila. If that's what you're afraid of, I promise I won't interfere with your college. You can continue your studies until you graduate and become a doctor. And I'll pay for all your college if you ask me what the benefits of marrying me are. "
" one more thing you should know. I just want to see my mom happy with me marrying you. After that you can still live your day as you are ready. Like before you got married. "
I still quietly digested all of Dirga's words. Can it be like that. Remember Ken and Danisha. Although they are married but Ken's brother can still take good care of Danisha's sister. Even Danisha sister can still continue her studies without a hitch. What about Dirga can also be like Kak Ken.
" So, How?"
Question about Dirga broke my daydream.
