JODOHKU CLASSMATE

23 Years

Alexa Dana Queenara Hanum is a very lucky woman in the world. He got a well-established career at a young age. A close friendship, and a family that is very supportive of him.

"Hi Dan," said the Princess to Dana. He met his friends after they had been separated for a long time. About 6 months ago when they last got together.

"Kok changed the name of the group?" Dana opened the conversation shortly after she arrived.

"Our girls support girls Dana, make no mistake" Fina replied.

"This is not girls support girls Ms, this is ngingetin I made her name marriage," Dana was a little upset because of Fina's behavior.

"What the hell?" princess said curiously. He then opened his HP and laughed looking at it.

"Who's the guy?" The princess could not help her laughter. They both saw Dana at the same time. Hope Dana will answer their question.

FINA RENAMED THE GROUP "23 MARRIAGE RATIONS"

PRINCESS RENAMES GROUP "WHEN TO MARRY"

DANA RENAMED THE GROUP "SUCCESSFUL BESTIE"

FINA RENAMED THE GROUP "WHICH POTENTIAL FUND? YOK CAN YOK 23 WEDDINGS"

"That dong muteek mulu!" Dana displayed a sullen expression on the two of them. They just laughed at Dana's behavior.

"The part of your family is weird, and when did you have to get married at 23? Is it still the time of Siti Nurbaya?" princess meledek.

"Name of old man."

"So where's the candidate?" ask Fina to investigate.

"Yes, nothing yet," Dana answered Fina's question casually.

"Well, how the hell" Princess looked disappointed to hear that.

The three friends then continued the conversation on another topic.

Dana's family is a little strange with the tradition of getting married at the age of 23. Actually it is the hope of his family so that Dana is the same as his grandmother, mother, aunt and om who married at the age of 23 years. He didn't know why, but it disturbed his mind a little.

Dana who is actually 23 years old has never had a boyfriend is very upset if asked about a partner.

"Where's her boyfriend? Which guy's girlfriend? How about it yourself? Already have a boyfriend yet, know dong budhe, when is marriage?" questions that can only be answered with "Doain budhe, aunty. God willing as soon as possible doain ya." This sometimes makes Dana lazy to meet people.

After meeting Princess and Fina, Dana went straight home. He looks tired because he has not wasted his energy to chat with others.

"Home home? where did you go?" said the mother who greeted Dana in front of the house.

"Already, just to caffe the same Fina and Princess in the Cup" he said briefly.

Mom suddenly pulled him to sit in the living room. He opened a conversation with Dana.

"Nwamma? you remember not the same kid mama who used to adek your class?" my mother said seriously. Dana immediately frowned. He had forgotten who Mom meant. "The one who went to college on that farm," mom tried to make him remember.

"Oh, remember. Why?" Answer Dana casually.

"She's finished her education" said the more excited mother.

"Then?" Dana still doesn't understand what Mom's saying.

"You don't have a boyfriend, do you?" ask mama to investigate.

"Yet, continue?" Ask Dana who still doesn't understand.

"You don't want to know him first?" mama said without further ado.

"Sit down first, it's like you're off, he hasn't left for work either. What's wrong with meeting first, right? if it fits, then no, if not already. You're 23 years old, you've never brought a girlfriend home."

"Well, I know no, I know no, not even one Junior High School and High School, but I've never met him. She's younger than me, but you sure you want me to be like her?" from the beginning, Dana was very hesitant about this matchmaking. Although she was attending the same school as the man, Dana never saw and knew him. He only knew that person from his mother's story.

Dana wasn't even curious about the looks of the person her mother always talked about. He is 2 years younger than her. His cousin is 5 years younger. For him there is no reason to be curious about people who are 2 years younger than him. To Dana, she was nothing more than a child.

It all started 2 years ago. Mama works at the same place as Aunt Hesti. She was the mother of that man. He wanted to match his son who was still in college with Dana. Aunt Hesti knows about Dana since Junior High. When SMP Dana is active in various school activities. School Marching Band, PMR champion in the Province, even the top 10 highest UN scores in Junior High. No wonder, his name is often displayed in school magazines. Even the main mading.

From there the beginning of Aunt Hesti wants to match Dana with her son. Actually he was surprised, from so many people who were much prettier and more popular in his Junior High School at that time, why Dana wanted to be betrothed to her son. At first Dana did not know, until it turned out that Aunt Hesti called her to ask mama, but she never gave her son's phone number to Aunt Hesti. It's weird why he got that phone number.

Continue to Dana and Mama's conversation.

"Tried first, the religion is good, the people are good, the family is good too, then what is wrong?" mama said persuading. Dana honestly resigned to it. Who can oppose your mother's will. All this time he always obeyed. Starting from choosing a school, Choosing a major, even choosing what he will do. How could he refuse it then.

"Ma, if it's related to matchmaking, it means it's not just me and him involved, it's already concerned 2 families. Mama sure?" Dana tried to ascertain the intentions of her mother.

"God willing," answered my mother. The mood was silent for a moment. Dana still had doubts about what she would do. Dana doesn't like that guy. He doesn't even know her at all. On the other hand Dana can't resist my mother's wishes.

"Where are you?" Dana finally gave in to mom.

Mama who was very tense suddenly heard the words of her son.

"In a moment, mama asked Aunt Hesti, the intention was to be in the cup, mama make sure first" said mama eager.

Dana then took a shower and headed for the kitchen. He cooks food for dinner.

"Sir," said the mother from the living room.

"Yes?" Dana's answering mom's call.

"Tomorrow at 11 in the Cup." My mother approached her son who was busy cooking.

"Yes" Dana was still busy with her cooking.

At night, Dana did not sleep at all because of overtime office work. It takes the rest of the WFH and leave to go home. So inevitably he had to give up his sleeping hours to work chasing the deadline. Dana just went to bed after dawn. His head was so dizzy from lack of sleep.

09.30 WIB

"Wake up, geez, I'm still sleeping." Mom woke him up slowly. Dana just squirms under the blanket. The air in his hometown is very cold. It's cold until he doesn't want to get out of there.

"Let's get up, there's an 11 o'clock appointment. You take an old shower, it's late." Mom pulled him out of bed. Dana can only follow. He was pulled into the bathroom with his eyes closed.

"5 Minutes to go, Ma, still sleepy," he said, turning to his room.

"No, Bablas will sleep again." Mama pushed him back to the bathroom.

After the shower, Dana is a little dressed up and ready to go.

10.30 WIB

Dana sat in front of the TV after she finished wearing socks. He thought it was okay to be a little late.

"Congen't left yet?" mom said to him.

"Ma, that girl must come late, if the spit comes I think I'm the ngarep, just calm down. After all, from here 10 minutes, the cup also just opened at 10. The waiter's still cooking water in the kitchen." Dana explained at length.

"In case of bad luck, windfall can be pegged chicken. If caught, a soul mate can be taken people. Busty chepet!" mother said to her son.

"Yes, this is leaving." Dana went to the cafe that had been agreed before. The same cafe where he, Fina and Putri met. For some reason in the city only this cafe is quite promising to be a place for nongki.
