Doctor Steven's Charm

10 - It's up

After bathing and changing clothes, Rimba came out of his room. He sat on the sofa in the middle room according to the order of the queen mother.

"So where did you run off to?" ask Vania who's been sitting with Galang there.

Rimba fell silent, not answering. Too embarrassed to recall that childish silly attitude. Plus if Vania and Galang know that due to the ridiculousness, Rimba lost a large backpack containing clothes, college books, and the main expensive laptop from his brother.

"Mother has accepted their proposal for you. Mommy hope from now on you accept Steven as your future husband," said Vania.

"What?" sontak Rimba. The girl did not accept the decision of those who had dared to manage her life. "Everyone deserves to love and be loved including me, Bun. For me arranged marriages are tantamount to curbing human rights!" he said in a slightly loud tone because he was upset.

"This is not Rim's match. Mother just wants the best for you. Feeling mom says Steven's a good guy, and he's really with you."

"Huh? so you accepted her proposal just because of feeling? Oh my God!" sahut Rimba shook his head.

"Why? do you feel a mother's good feelings? you need to know yes, about the feeling of the average mother is never wrong. University of Arizona psychologist Dr Victor Shamas says a mother's intuition can be said to be a condition in which a mother knows something, without knowing how she can know it. Understood?" said Vania who had previously studied English literature at a public university in Bandung.

"But Bun---"

"Udah, you believe in your mother. You're all grown up, you're 22, Rim. After all you will not get married in the near future, you can still get to know each other first until the next two months." cut Vania did not give the Jungle a chance to protest.

"Huh? two months ahead? mean mother?" rimba's eyes bulged sharply.

"We need two months to prepare for a wedding" said Vania.

"What Bun?" Rimba approached Vania, grabbing the two hands of the woman who had given birth to her into this world with a clear face. "Mother sure you want to marry me to that man?" ask follow lirih.

Vania nodded while looking at the eyes of the Jungle that began to dew. "Yes, baby, I'm sure. Mother just wants the best for you. Steven is serious about you, the proof is that he immediately asked permission from Mother to marry you. Rarely is there such a gentleman today."

"Because he didn't do Bun. His age is already above 30 years, it's only natural that he asked for marriage," said Rimba a little frontal.

"Speak politely to Mother, Jungle!" tegur Galang reminded his sister. Rimba immediately apologized to Vania for speaking loudly without filters.

"I still want to go to college and become a doctor, Bun" said Rimba this time shed tears of his culture, hoping Vania and Galang pity and undo his intention to marry himself to the doctor Om. But in vain, they remained in his stance.

"After marriage, you can still continue your studies, Rim. Steven says Mommy will always support and help you to achieve your goals. Nothing has changed, only your status and responsibilities have changed as a wife" Vania said.

This time the jungle does not argue anymore. He was tired and wanted to go to his room to sleep. The matter of his relationship with the doctor was a later affair. No one knows what will happen in the next two months. Let's just see how the Jungle's attempt to make the marriage never happened.

"Mother really, Rim. Rather than you dating the obscure Marvin, I would rather agree that you marry Steven, who is already well established, his brother-in-law, my boss at the office, he said, the owner and largest shareholder in the company MM Gemilang" Galang responded.

"Kok so bring Marvin anyway? I've broken up from him Kak times" said Rimba mendelik. "By the way, so brother agrees because he's his brother-in-law's boss brother in the office? Ah, perfect! while diving drink water," he said.

"What do you mean?" tanya Galang snorted back.

"Not pretend to be!" sengak Jungle.

"The jungle!" this time it was Vania who rebuked Rimba for saying inappropriate words to her brother. "Mother no longer knows how to educate you to be a more graceful, elegant woman like-" Vania continued.

"Like who?" tanya Rimba immediately responded. "Mother is always comparing me to someone. Who is that guy? Who do you want me to be like?" scatter the girl with her tone of voice up an octave.

Vania did not answer. The middle-aged woman was speechless with her tears starting to fill her cheeks.

"Bun?" Rimba was surprised and immediately saw the face of the mother attached. Sure enough, he saw Vania crying. Rimba immediately prostrated himself on his lap, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad," he said. He did not think his last sentence could make the mother immediately shed tears. Was it because Rimba had pressed and snapped a little bit?

"Ear, awake!" pinta Vania shrugged Rimba's shoulders to get back straight. "Mother to the room. You eat first" said Vania, wiping her tears, then stood up, walking straight towards her room.

The jungle went wrong. He felt guilty for making his mother cry because of his words. Rimba often denied Vania, but the girl never made Vania cry in front of him.

"Your satisfaction?" said Galang when Vania was no longer in the room.

"Why did you cry that? though I think my speech is still at a reasonable level," muttered Rimba.

"Take it this time you recite what you said. Don't ngeyel!"

"How's geyel? do you want to be forced into marriage with a woman you don't like?" tanya Rimba turned things around.

"So that girl is beautiful, a doctor, and still single, there's no reason not to like her. Go first, in the future if it fits in the next, if it does not fit we can talk about it well.just simply!" galang santuy.

Rimba pensively for a moment while biting her lower lip. It is also true what Galang said. Why keep avoiding it. Mending just walk casually without burden. Moreover, use the blurry event all rich earlier, instead of profit even dumbfounded so lost a backpack plus contents inside.

"Oya Rim, tomorrow Brother pinjem laptop yes 2 days at the longest, because tomorrow brother there is business office out of town. Laptops in the batrenya office often drop, enjoy yours," said Galang surprised Rimba.

"Huh? Ta, but--" The jungle gets nervous instantly.

"Is there a laptop? you're not selling, are you?" tanya Galang became suspicious of the strange attitude of the jungle.

"Well, that's not it. There's no, a- there is," replied Rimba.

"Where try to bring it here, I'm not sure about your attitude rich gini," Pinta Galang suspected.

"Anu, that, the laptop on Ellena's pinjem yesterday. I'm not saying brother, because it's afraid brother is angry," said Rimba became even a lie.

"Oh, yes tomorrow you bring yes, want me to take it out of town 2 daily. You're not wearing it, are you?"

"No, safe really, no more duty," said Rimba grimacing.

Galang nodded, "Come! eat first!" take him by and go towards the dining table.

"Campus Lo, Rim! how do you try tomorrow?" muttered Rimba while scratching his head that does not itch, Frustrating.
