![Alena [My girlfriend was taken by my mother]](https://pub-2e531bea8d9e487cb3404fa20db89ccb.r2.dev/alena--my-girlfriend-was-taken-by-my-mother-.webp)
I don't want to limit my wiggle room anymore. I am friends with anyone who wants to be close to me. It's just one rather heavy effort I do, which is to refrain from getting carried away easily. Stay focused on my goal, which is to make money. I'm still not ready if I have to involve feelings again, another story if the man wants to invite me to marry and take me out of the house.
This afternoon I'll meet with Irvan. I haven't seen him in a long time. Of course I'm not alone, Mas Dwi came with me after work.
"This is for you" he said, taking out two sheets of green paper coated with thin plastic. Very familiar with its form.
"Invitation?" my question was even before I received it from Irvan's hands. He just smiled shyly.
"Hehe ...." He laughed a little. "Come yes!" doors later.
I opened the plastic and read the contents. The appointment will be done in 3 weeks, while the recipe one day next.
"Congratulations! I was preceded it turned out," said Mas Dwi. I feel a little pity, if the woman did not turn away, maybe now Mas Dwi already has a cute child.
"I'm sorry, Mas" Irvan said with a smile. "I've been dating for too long, her mother always demands that she get married fast. How else?"
"But you love him, right?" my many.
"of course. I just wasn't materially ready. I don't even have my own house yet. Maybe in the meantime we'll sign."
"Grandfather, so much better than failing to get married, right? Rejeki can be searched while walking," said Mas Dwi. I don't know what she's feeling right now, but I can't take away my pity for her
"Mas do not be discouraged, right now the candidate is there," said Irvan who made me spontaneously glance at Mas Dwi.
"Yes if he wants to," replied Mas Dwi who then also glanced at me. The blush!! What do you mean is me?
"Yes, sorry I couldn't stay long. There is still other business" said Irvan while wearing his jacket.
"Yes not papa. His name wants to get married must be a lot of preparation," said Mas Dwi.
"May go well!" I say prayer and encouragement.
"Thank you very much. Don't come alone! Oh yeah, I almost forgot." Irvan opened her bag again and picked up one more invitation. "This is for your mother, maybe she will come" he said, handing me the invitation.
"Ah yes, thank you. I'll tell you later."
"Remember ya! Don't come alone!" He returned to order.
"Hmm .. yes," I replied. I already understand the point, I have to come with Mas Dwi. Then Irvan left, again we were both there.
"Len." Dwi called me and held my hand.
"Eh, is it mas?" My heart spontaneously surged when I felt Mas Dwi's hand touch on the back of my hand.
"Yes, but if my mama wants-"
"We came in three. I don't have a problem" he said, cutting me off.
"Ah, yes. Okay," I agreed.
"I'm sorry I'm a little traumatized by marriage. That's why I need you to accompany me." His voice sounds sad. Whether it was because of the influence of my thoughts that were pitying him, or indeed he who still had the wound, I don't know either.
"Yes, Mas. We will come together to Irvan's reception" I replied. I thought he was holding my hand to get me married too. I seem to expect too much.
"May I be honest with you?" tanyakanya.
"Of course."
"I liked you a long time ago. Even before you broke up with your ex-boyfriend. Maybe you think I'm not serious, but actually I realize at my age it's no longer time to play games," he stopped for a moment, then he took a deep breath and exhaled.
"I'm sorry, I failed to get married as you know. Two years ago I was like a madman, and I wasn't even sure I could live without him. All the costs of my wedding preparation are responsible, even the invitation is ready and stay spread. Somehow she got pregnant with her ex." Again, the words of Mas Dwi stopped. I felt his hands tremble.
"Mas, I don't mean to Mas to tell me that."
"Grandfather, I should be able to forget all this. I want you to know how I feel, so you're sure I'm worth it or not for you." Then he looked me in the eye, his eyes looking sweet. I feel full.
"Lena, I really like you. I wanted you to be mine, but I realized I was also traumatized by the wedding preparations. Do you want-" her words stopped. It felt like his hand was getting stronger, a little sore but I could still hold it.
"You what, Mas?" tanyaku later.
"Do you want ... so .. is .. triku?" tanyanya. Blarr!!! My heart felt like it was being struck by lightning. I thought it was just wishful thinking, but this very second I heard that question in the ear straight from his mouth.
"I'm sorry I was impressed too soon, but I'm afraid of losing again. If you want to accept me, I'll come to your house soon. We don't have to date, do we?"
I blinked a few times. I still can't believe what I heard this time.
"But, Mas himself said that Mas was traumatized by marriage. How could I get married?" I'm still a little confused.
"Then from that, I ask you to be the cure. I love you, Lena. I promise I won't let you down" he said with fixed eyes looking at my bead. There is a great hope there.
"Mas, I really appreciate your invitation to get married. Sorry, I didn't refuse. Give me some time to think that my answer will be right and good for both of us" I asked him. He also nodded in agreement. It felt as if his fear seemed to slowly fade away. His hand was not as strong as before.
I'm so glad there's finally a man who wants to get me married. But I need time to explain my family's condition to her. Is it possible that she could accept me if she knew my stepfather was my own ex-boyfriend?
