Like Marrying a Boy

SMB 19S

"Darling, papa doesn't not love you anymore, but papa is just worried. Dad is not always beside you. Sooner or later everyone will have a breakup." Janu rubbed the top of his daughter's head very gently. The voice of the man sounded very heavy.

"I don't want to be separated from Papa. If you leave, I'll go" said Agnes. Hugged the father very tightly and like it will not be released again.

"Papa too, honey. But you still have to find a companion. Let anyone take care of you when papa's not next to you. Besides, you're also time to be a grown girl." Janu spoke slowly so as not to offend his daughter. "And papa already has a candidate that seems right for you."

Agnes looking. Looking at papa. "Prospective for me? Who?"

"Gatra the Mahardika."

Agnes immediately let go of the embrace of the father and looked at the man very closely. Still very distrustful of the father who wants to match him with Gatra. In fact, Agnes asked back to convince that Janu's speech was not just a joke.

"Pa—"

"Papa doesn't accept rejection, dear. You don't worry. Papa will always be around you so if Gatra hurts you then papa will act fast. Papa did this for your own good." Janu repeatedly kissed the top of his daughter's head.

Agnes was just silent resigned because she could no longer refuse. Since long ago, the papa who always gave a decision and Agnes already understood that the father had carefully considered all his decisions. The man will never make the original decision.

"All right." It was the only word that could be said from Agnes' mouth. Janu's smile was perfect and the man kept kissing her daughter's face.

"What are you going to talk about?" ask Gatra to Agnes. Both of them are currently in a park. Sit back and look at the people passing by.

"Nr ...." Agnes was silent from doubt. Gatra turned his head and looked at the girl very closely. "Gee! Don't look at me like that. I'm afraid you'll be fascinated by my beauty."

"Where might I be fascinated by a girl like you. Maybe you'll be fascinated by me."

"Much pede," murmured Agnes softly. However, it could still be heard well by Gatra.

"What did you say?" ask Gatra.

"No." Agnes shook her head quickly. "I just wanted to ask you. Has my dad spoken anything important to you?"

"What is important, for example? I rarely talk to your father." Gatra spread the body on the grass and made both arms as pads.

"God, why are you so annoying!" agnes protest. "Have you talked about marriage?" Agnes held back her wrath towards Gatra who was precisely smiling obliquely. It seems like the man was deliberately teasing Agnes.

"Oh, about that. Everything is being prepared. So, you just calm down and try another two weeks it's all done."

"Two weeks left?" Agnes interrupted Gatra's words.

"Yes, our wedding is at the end of the month. Didn't Mr Janu talk to you when the show was held?" Gatra asked back. Staring at Agnes who was shaking weakly.

"It seems like papa is ready to let go I fell into another man's arms." Agnes sighed*hkan breath into the air roughly. In fact, his eyes looked teary. Gatra who realized that was immediately rubbed Agnes' hair very softly.

"Don't say it like that. Your papa's decision is the best and I will try to be a good father to you" Gatra said. Agnes turned her head and looked in wonder at Gatra who was chuckling.
