Aunt Melinda

Refusing an Offer to Get Married

A few years later, when Linda had just graduated high school, or High School.

Linda was confused, with what she should do, after she graduated.

He could not have asked his mother or father to continue his education to the university.

Linda realized, if both parents were, it would be impossible to afford her college.

That is why, Linda asked permission from her mother and father, to be allowed to work. Even if only as a shopkeeper.

"Linda wants what job?" ask her mother, when Linda asked her mother for permission.

"Work guard the store Ma'am. The shop belongs to Linda's budhene friend."

Linda's mother fell silent. He has not yet decided to allow his son to work. He still could not bear, releasing his son to work, even though only as a shopkeeper.

"Linda has no experience. So, Linda has to find an experience, which Linda has never done."

His mother was still silent, as Linda spoke again, revealing what she wanted to do, after she was no longer in school.

Long story short, finally his mother Linda allowed the child to work, in a shop in the sub-district market, not far from the village they live.

His father Linda, also did not mind the decision taken by his son. He realized that he could not afford to support his son, to continue his education to a higher level.

Moreover, Linda also still has a younger brother, who is still in elementary school.

And boys who should have a higher education, compared to girls.

That kind of thinking, which usually exists in most villagers, just like her father Linda too, who wants her son, her sister Linda, to be able to go to school as high as possible in the future.

*****

A few days after Linda worked, there was a young man, who still had a kinship bond with his mother, wanting to marry her.

But before the young man came to propose to Linda, the young man invited Linda to meet, and talk about this.

"You agree, don't you, Lin, if I come to propose to you?" ask the young man.

Linda, who has no thoughts of getting married, is confused as to what to answer. He also had no reason, to refuse the youth's invitation, which he often called Kang Mus.

"But, we're still Kang's brothers" Linda said, answering a question from kang Mus.

"Why is that?" kang Mus asked confused, with the reason put forward by Linda just now.

Finally Linda said the reason, why she was not ready to get married, especially with her own kang Mus.

According to Linda, marriage between two people who still have kinship or brotherhood ties, is good. Because it can be more tightened the rope of brotherhood with friendship and the relationship of two families will be better.

But that's if the marriage goes well and there's no problem.

However, if at some point, if there comes a big enough problem, it can cause a split and break the existing brotherhood rope.

"Kok you think it's ugly so Lin?" ask Kang Mus, with what Linda just said.

"I'm not done thinking, you've thought things through badly!"

Kang Mus, again said in a disappointed and also annoyed voice.

But, Linda who used to be silent, could not be just silent in the morning, accepting what she did not like.

Linda does not like the mus. In addition, Linda also knows, how the state of the Mus kang family, and their attitude, towards her family Linda so far.

Yu Narti, who was modeled by Linda is the older sister of Kang Mus, who is married.

Kang Mus's older sister, married to a brother who still has kinship ties with the mother of his grandmother.

But the marriage did not go well, and they had already separated the house for as long as Yu Narti was pregnant.

And at this time, his son Yu Narti was already seven years old.

That means, their marriage is unclear, because there has been no divorce between the two, but also no one gave up to be able to improve the relationship.

Therefore, a cold war between their two extended families, ensued for many years.

Two families who were fine, now threatened to break up, because of the bond of marriage that can not be maintained, but also they did not decide.

Kang Mus seemed to let out a long sigh, when he realized that, what Linda said just now, winning had a point.

"Is this because you already have Lin's girlfriend?" ask Kang Mus to know.

Linda groans. She doesn't have a boyfriend yet, but there's someone she already thinks is a boyfriend, even though she's not actually Linda's boyfriend.

"Yes already then. I didn't come to propose to you. But if one day, you change your mind, you should talk to me. I'll make sure that before you get married, I'll never get married first."

Linda was shocked, when the kang Mus said that he would wait for her.

"Don't Kang. It's better if Kang Mus gets married first. Isn't kang Mus also old enough?"

Kang Mus is twenty-five years old. So, for the size of a young man, that age is indeed worthy of marriage.

"You first. Anyway, I want to make sure that, you did reject this invitation because you already have a boyfriend."

Linda no longer answered, or said anything. He just smiled faintly, then said goodbye to go home first, arguing there were some things he would do.

After Linda, Kang Mus muttered alone. "Review yes Lin. I'll never let anyone else have you, before I can get your replacement in my heart."

*****

At night, in the room, Linda was agitated. He can't sleep well.

"Ck. Why can't I sleep anyway! I have to go to work tomorrow too" lamented Linda, who was feeling restless and uncomfortable to lie down.

Finally, to relieve her anxiety, Linda read her old books, which are old novels.

These novels are adult novels.

Linda will feel more comfortable, if she can live and imagine everything, which is in the romantic scenes in the novel.

But Linda, who had gotten used to the face-down position while reading, was now no longer able to do well.

There was something he wanted to do, to be more comfortable.

And Linda doesn't know how to do it, without having to look for tools, which can make her feel satisfied.

Linda spread her eyes around the room. But he only found pillows and bolsters, which he could use to make himself more comfortable in the state of reading the novels.

Finally, before long, Linda was able to smile, when the satisfaction she could feel.

***Actually, what happened to Linda?

Yuk see ya gaess 👍👍️🙏
