"I don't want to get married, Mom!"
Madam Hani was quite surprised to hear the answer from Diamond. At first glance I felt that what his son said at that time was true. But ... what if Lian doesn't like men?
"Why don't you want to get married? Is the time not right yet because you're young? Are you not ready to go to the stairs? Or ... is there no man who fits in your heart?"
"I'm not interested in that kind of relationship. I know myself enough, Mom. This woman I think, no one will want to accept." The words clearly signaled despair.
"Why are you? I don't think you have a problem at all. Maybe your appearance should be a little overhauled. You are actually beautiful, you know! Your body is good and your face is clean. Still sweet without make-up. Your attitude is good too."
"Mom, sorry. I don't want to talk about this. Honestly, I'm lazy to talk about marriage because I actually have no intention of going there."
"Okay, I'm sorry Lian! If you're ready and ready, tell me all your problems!"
Madam Hani smiled as she patted the back of Diamond's hand. He was sure if anything had happened in the girl's past. It is impossible if Lian's thoughts are as positive as if her life used to be okay.

Satria put a cell phone to her ear. Sitting leisurely in his great chair inside his study. The chair turned slowly to the left and to the right. Intentionally played while on the phone with someone over there.
"Ma .. I told you I don't want to get married, period!" he said with an angry expression. A few months passed since her return from the house of Mrs Hani and it was always the case that her mother discussed. As often as the woman urged, as much as Satria refused.
"Okay, that means you don't have a wife. Now you must follow the rules of Mama. You'll know Mama's daughter. Meet them one by one, choose the best. Mama will arrange your wedding!"
Mata Satria. His back was kept away from the seat. Right now his body was leaning forward with his hands on the table.
"What do you think I am? The effect is like I don't do it. Don't want to ah, it's his name!" reject Satria.
"Please ... meet them just once! If there is nothing suitable, Mama will not make sense," added Mrs Hani.
The man seemed to think for a moment. It seems that he must obey his mother's will to stop babbling. After all, he was the one who freely chose those girls.
"Okay, I agree!"
Deal happened. Schedule one girl for one night just for a meeting. It might be able to continue in the other direction if Satria was interested in them. The time has begun since Satria returned to her mother's house.
First girl, graceful and beautiful. Too quiet and shy. Satria cut her off as the ideal woman.
Second girl, nice and friendly. It looks neat and covered in hijab. Too intelligent in terms of religion to make Satria inferior and pessimistic.
"How much juz of the Qur'an have you mastered? I don't want to have a priest who doesn't understand religion."
Die up! Satria felt intimidated by such a woman.
Next night. This girl is the most interesting. Sexy and seductive. Imported goods anyway.
"We ordered a room. I want to know what you're capable of in bed!" invite Satria who was immediately identified by the woman.
The night was hot and exciting but still in the end Satria refused to continue the unimportant relationship.
Also in the last candidate. Satria was waiting for the girl in a restaurant. It's been almost an hour but no one has come. He was already agitated and angry.
"What kind of beauty does she dare to make me moss here?"
Satria was about to stand up but a beautiful creature appeared. The long-haired girl in a black dress managed to make him gawk. Likewise with the girl whose facial expression is not much different. They seem to know each other.
'Why should she be the one Mama chose?'
The woman sat quietly in front of Satria after she managed to gain control of herself.
"Hi, how are you?"
Satria forced herself to smile. "I'm good. How are you, Anita?"
"You think, after you leave me that way, my life will be good?"
"Hey, we don't have any relationship. So, don't be lebay!" Smiling cynically.
"You don't have a heart. You can throw me out after you're satisfied. Even though we are not girlfriends, we have had a husband-wife relationship. Isn't that enough to make you realize that I'm feeling special for you?" His eyes look sharper. His voice was still soft despite the emphasis.
Satria breathed a heavy sigh. "Okay, I don't know that. All this time I've been doing that with a lot of women just for fun. So, don't get involved in feelings!"
"Whatever, I don't want to talk about that!" Anita turned her face.
'Wait 'wait! It's not like he started talking about this first. You're weird!'
Satria waved at the girl who was now walking away. "Bye …! This is what I want."
Basically, like it or not in the girl of his mother's choice, he will still refuse. He does not want to marry any woman!
**
Madam Hani had expected that Satria would reject all the girls of her choice. Not because there was none that Satria liked but because her son was adamant not to marry.
"At least I tried."
There is actually one more candidate. A girl that Mrs Hani wanted most to be her daughter-in-law. It's just that he's not sure if the girl wants to be betrothed to Satria. If the choice was to agree right from the start then he would not have to bother having Satria meet the four other candidates.
"Maybe I should try to talk to him. Who knows if he secretly likes Satria" he murmured.
The woman sitting on the shoulder of the bed called someone. Shortly after, the door of the room was knocked interspersed with the sound of a call.
Madam Hani told her to come in. Lian walked slowly and sat on the edge of the bed at the boss's order.
"Ehm ... Lian, what do you think ... my son is?"
"Ah .. she .. good." Time has to say shitty! Lying in this kind of affair may be forgivable rather than hurting the feelings of others.
"If you're a match, what?"
If Lian was currently eating, she would have choked. Her employer's words were completely unexpected.
"Why bengong? You don't like Satria? He's sometimes nice but actually good."
"Why do you ask such a ridiculous question? Where it may be me and your child …. We are different. Besides, I told you that I'm not interested in having a sacred relationship with a man."
Madam Hani was squealing a little suspiciously. "You're still normal, right! Don't like girls?"
Holy hooch! What do you think of the madam?
"Of course it's normal. But ... I'm only willing to commit to men. I feel inferior, Mom." Lian lowered her head.
"You can tell me the same story, Lian. Not that you think I'm like your own mother! So, why don't you get married?"
There was no way he could expose his own disgrace. Lian chose to shut up.
"Okay, whatever your reasons but obviously I want to mate you with Satria."
Lian looked into those hopeful eyes. "Mom, why do you want me to do it? Aren't there still a lot of other very classy and beautiful girls out there?"
"That's not what I'm looking for. I want to have a ghost who's like you. Can take care of in-laws with good and sincere. And I'm sure you're the right girl."
"Sorry, Mom. I'm like I can't fulfill your wish. Sorry!"
"Please, Lian. Think carefully, don't be in a hurry!" Madam Hani clasped the girl's fingers.
"Well, I'll think!"
The first step has been taken. Hopefully the two young people will be able to accept each other.
**
In the next few days, Lian made her choice. She sat facing Madame Hani in the living room.
"Mom, I .. can't fulfill that matchmaking plan. Sorry!" His head was bowed and his fingers were intertwined.
"Why? Still the same reason? You feel inferior, huh?" ask the gentle Madam. There was disappointment on his face.
"Sorry, Mom!"
Madam Hani let out a rough breath through her mouth. "If Satria is ready, what? You want to marry her and be my daughter-in-law, right!" It seems that it is not a question but a statement that must be obeyed.
'Why did Bu Hani make such a move? I know that she loves me but .. I don't think I deserve to be her daughter-in-law.'
"Yes, give me a chance to make my wish come true! Please …!" persuade Madame Hani expectantly.
Lian finally agreed. After all, he was convinced that Satria could not possibly be willing to accept this matchmaking.
