Marriage Should Not be Love

First Date

A few days have passed.There is no news at all from Nova.But it does not feel as sick as Lala was waiting for news from Juna.

Lala put her body on her bed.She reflected back on what she had told Nova.She asked Nova to marry her, he even said that he was no longer a peacemaker, when it was not in reality.

I don't know what's on Nova's mind right now about Lala.Maybe she thinks that Lala is not a good woman as she thought all along.Maybe she also undo her intention to marry Lala.But Lala will not be sick heart if Nova did not marry him.Lala has resigned, maybe this is his fate.Besides Lala does not love Nova, just consider this Nova as his escape.

Lala's mind was so deadlocked at that time, she just thought how to get away from Juna or Adit.And the only way is to find another man who can be her companion, officially.

Suddenly I knocked on Lala's bedroom door

"Viola .. There's a friend outside." I heard my mother's voice from behind the door.

Lala rushed out of her room.

"Who's coming, ma'am?" ask Lala.

"No, I don't think I've seen him at home yet" replied his mother.

"Yes, I'll meet." Lala walked towards the living room.She was quite shocked to see who was there.

"Nova ...?" lala.

"Am I interrupting?" asked Nova slowly.As usual, her gaze was shady and calm.

"No, I'm not doing anything.What's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you, can we go out for a second?" ask Nova.

"Well, wait for me to get ready for a second."

Nova nodded.

After saying goodbye to Lala's parents, they both left on Nova's motorcycle.

"Where should we go? I don't really know this area" asked Nova while riding his motorcycle.

"To the square near the sub-district only.The distance is quite close, so later we will not go home," replied Lala who was in the Nova bell.

Before long they stopped at a place in Lala.Almost like a city park but much smaller.They both sat on the benches available there.

"Are you sure you want to marry me?" Nova started talking.

Lala was stunned, after a few days there was no news, she did not expect Nova would ask him that.She was resigned if Nova did not want to marry him.Especially with what he had said at that time.

"Listen Nova, if you don't want to, it's okay.I realize maybe you've changed your mind about me."

"What are you talking about? Nothing has changed a bit about you" Nova replied."If you're sure, then my parents' representatives will come to propose to you this weekend" he continued.

"You really mean it?" lala asked in disbelief.

Nova nodded.

"But I've ...." Lala did not continue her sentence.

"That's not important to me.I've told you, I will accept you no matter what your circumstances," Nova said sincerely.

Lala looked at this man beside her.Very simply, far from the impression of rich.Just wearing an ordinary jacket and jeans like most other young people.There is no aura of bad boy like Juna.There is also a cold aura like Adit.Nova is Nova.She appears as is in front of Lala.No forced to look better or made up.

"But you must know my circumstances, I am not rich.Maybe I also can not give luxury like others give.Are you ready with it all?"

Lala was silent for a long time, then she nodded.

"Alright, tell mom and dad that my parents' messengers are going to propose to you this weekend.Maybe they're discussing marriage matters."

Lala was silent saying nothing.

"Why aren't your parents coming?" lala asked carefully, She was afraid that Nova did not mean it with her words.

"I don't have any parents anymore."

She did not know Nova had no parents.

"I only have Oma from my mother.And now she lives in the opposite town."

"Oh .. Sorry, I don't know," said Lala slowly. "How about after from here you meet the Father.You can say your intentions directly to the Father." Lala tested the seriousness of Nova.This was like a dream for him.She asked a man to marry her and was immediately approved by the man.Not to mention within a week his family will come to propose her.Padah used to be years he waited Juna proposed to him until now was not implemented.

"All right! Come ... I take you home.Don't let us go home late on our first date," said Nova with a thin smile.Lala so misbehaved to hear Nova's words.

* * * *

Lala returned to her room after the departure of Nova.Nova actually met Mr. Fajar and expressed his intentions.He kept all his words to Lala.There is nothing to doubt from this man.In fact he is more dignified and has self-respect compared Juna.

There was a knock.Lala rushed to open the door of his room.

"Viola... Can I talk to you for a minute?" ask Mr. Fajar who is standing behind the door.

Lala just nodded.

"Are you sure you're going to marry this guy? Nova's not her name?" asked Mr. Fajar after they both sat in the room.

Lala was silent.

"She's never seen him, have you just met him?" ask Mr. Fajar again.

"He's my coworker at Plaza Z, he's been at home once, a while, too" Lala replied.

"Are you forced?" Mr. Fajar sounds serious.

"No," Lala replied briefly.

"I'm sorry, Son ... You know this all because of the Father," said Mr. Fajar while taking a deep breath.He was aware of his words at that time, who wanted to watch Lala get married before death picked him.So according to Paka Fajar, that's what made Lala take the decision so soon.

Lala remained silent.She could not say anything.

"If you have made this decision then rest assured.You can not cancel it later.You will live it.He will be your husband.You must serve him well, as much as possible to be a good wife even though you do not love him, he will be your husband, because it's your choice."

Lala turned her head to hear Mr. Fajar's last words.

Mr. Fajar nodded.He understood the meaning of Lala's gaze on him. "Father knows even if you don't say it," said Mr. Fajar later.

It's like a dream for Lala.She will get married in the near future, but not with the person she hopes will marry her.It's a much different person, far from her shadow and also not loved.
