engagement without marriage

Tomi and Abiyu

Two boys, aged about 10, were chasing in a crowded city park by children and also parents who spent their time off.

Today is Sunday, as usual this city park will be crowded by children who play, or people who just sit in long chairs lined in the front of the park.

Tomi who was taller than Abiyu tried to catch Abiyu who ran around the trees.

Although slim in stature, but Abiyu is very good at running, until at the end of the game Tomi did not manage to catch him.

"Tomi, Abiyu, let's eat first" the young mother exclaimed from the gathering of their families.

"Yes" answered the two almost simultaneously.

They ran over to the young mother who called.

The young mother was Sofi, Abiyu's mother.And nearby stood, they sat on the mat together.They were Shanti and Tomo, Tomi's parents and Ana.Aside her sat Yadi Abiyu's father.

Not far from them sitting, there was a little girl with her rabbit doll was busy playing cooking.

Abiyu and Tomi's family is indeed close to the past, both of their parents are friends from high school to college.They want their friendship to last until old age,even now their relationship is still very good.

Tomi and Abiyu also went to school in the same place, even though they were different classes.Their age was almost the same, only a few months different.Fortunately Tomi still has a sibling, her sister, namely Ana.

Not as lucky as Tomi, Abiyu can no longer have siblings because when giving birth to Abiyu, her mother's contents are problematic.So forced her uterus must be removed.

That is why Sofi loves Ana so much as her own biological child.

And therefore, they agreed to betroth Ana to Abiyu and hold an engagement right on Ana's 5th birthday.

At that time, they did not understand anything about the engagement.Abiyu only understood when he just entered High School, and he was a little surprised, he was engaged to a girl who was still in 6th grade Elementary.But it never interfered with his life.

Until the time of college, he felt uncomfortable with this matchmaking.At last Abiyu chose to study outside the city.When graduating college he chose to pioneer his own business in another city.Samapi now.

Tomi is Abiyu's closest friend, although Abiyu never discussed the issue of arranged marriage with him.He did not want to disturb their friendship.In the end Tomi knew the reason for Abiyu's departure.

They are friendly, but never interfere in their personal affairs.

Tomi just needs to ask the clarity of her sister's status, she won't force Abiyu, but also she can't possibly let her sister in doubt.

Tomi finally invites Abiyu to meet, by sending a message to come to his office.

After receiving Abiyu's reply and making sure Abiyu can come, Tomi went out of the room.Today's week, she wants to relax for a moment. She saw Ana in the living room, watching tv. And there was something in his hand.When it was close to where his sister was sitting, he asked while putting his body sitting next to his sister.

"What is Ana," asked Tomi as she picked up the tv remote on the table.

"The graduation letter, as well as the graduation invitation, was Ana yesterday not to the campus after the announcement, so sent home" Ana replied while handing the letter to her brother.

Tomi accepts it, but doesn't open it, she's sure her sister must have graduated.

Silence, all that sounds is tv.

"Sister,"Ana opened the word.

"hmmm, why?", replied Tomi again asking.

Ana continued"kak Abiyu why not play here ya".

"Maybe busy, would you like to see me?"he said while glancing at his sister.

"Antara want to meet but confused, if I meet you want to say what, hehehe," said Ana while laughing to cover her embarrassment.

Tomi smiled at her sister who would not admit that she missed the young man. Maybe tomorrow he can take Abiyu home, hopefully.
