“Ora koyo ngono!!!” refute the mother who felt she had run out of ways to talk to Manira and give Manira the understanding that she should get married and stop thinking about people who might never come back for her. “His life is well established, has a good job and.” continued mother every time mengumandang qualifications all prospective ghosts who proposed Manira before.

“What love is based only on money?” refute Manira once again in an angry tone.

This matter is very sensitive for Manira. Every time he talked about marriage, he always made him talk in a high tone. He didn't want anyone to bother with his feelings. He just wants to love his girlfriend. He felt calm and at ease with his love buried in his chest. Manira does not like if there is anyone who intends to marry her to another man because in her heart there is only one man. He was willing to wait for her for a lifetime rather than let another man touch her in the slightest.

“Do not be arrogant ndok, without money kowe people urip biso,” further mom scolded Manira.

Manira continued to look at her with a sharp look, angry and disappointed because she thought that her mother and brother, she, even everyone seems to judge worthy or not like a man proposing to a woman based only on money and wealth. If the young man had a good job, a great salary, they would be sky-high. If the young man is poor, they will be ignored like throwing garbage. So sadistic that everyone thinks that money and wealth are the main measure to judge someone is worthy or not worthy of being one's son-in-law or husband. Everyone uses the same formula to determine whether a man is worthy of a partner or not, which is money. Manira sad. If so, wouldn't that mean that every parent would sell their child for wealth and wealth? Isn't that the same as a woman selling themselves for money and a good life.

“Sorry, I can't realize my brother's and mother's wishes,” Manira said, still stubborn.

I don't know why Manira could be like that. All the words of my brother, mother and the people who advised him to get married when he was very mature, he always encouraged. Manira always had a way of rebutting them as if she wanted to do anything to reject the match and justify her over-rooted love in the heart of her heart. A love that according to everyone has been transformed into stupidity and iniquity to parents.

Manira looked at herself. Her tears are pouring. In my heart he said that,

“Love is a matter of the heart that cannot be spoken of. Sometimes, it cannot even be reasoned with the human mind. He'll be so sharp and so great. The roots stick firmly to the bottom of the heart, the leaves expand very wide, the flowers bloom very beautifully, and the fruit is more than just sweet. But, only lovers can see it and feel it.
