Married for Papa

Dilemmas

After the dinner, Aluna often daydreams about the right answer to be delivered to Alexander and Om Reymond.

She did not want to disappoint Alexander but on the other hand, she also did not want to marry an unloved man. Every girl who has grown up must have a dream to be able to marry and build a household with a loved one as well as Aluna but who would have thought the marriage she dreamed was very far from expected.

Currently, Aluna was sitting on the porch of the house since she turned back the practicum module but her mind was not focused. Several times he beat his head with a pen to focus on the material but the results were nil. Until finally he gave up and threw away the practicum module in every place.

"Hufh, only this time I learned not to focus. Hey idiot, what are you thinking? Tomorrow pre test do you want your grades to be bad and you have to repeat next semester!" Aluna was emotional and hit the remaining practicum module onto the table causing a rowdy sound.

Alexander heard the voice immediately walk to the terrace following Aluna. He immediately sat down beside Aluna.

"Why you, baby?" Alex asked astonished to see Aluna's face looked depressed.

"Papa, my God I'm okay." Aluna answered nervously. He did not expect that Alex would suddenly appear and sit next to a chair.

"You don't lie. Papa knows you're saving trouble right now. Try the story to papa. Who knows if you can help." Speak to Alex softly.

Aluna looked at Alexander's old face. He did not want to say his heart but if he kept it a secret he himself would be tormented. With a heavy heart Aluna twisted his heart.

"Pa, should I marry your best friend's son?" Aluna asked while twisting the tip of her favorite blue t-shirt.

"I'm still young, I haven't graduated from college when I have to rush to get married anyway."

"Hm, so this is what makes you change. Frequent daydreaming and indecisive anger."

"Aluna, listen to papa. Om Reymond and Aunt Ayunda are good people. Papa can guarantee that. No one knows except God. It could be tomorrow or the day after papa is called to return to his side but before that happens papa would love to see you marry the man of papa's choice. Papa thinks the Smith family can take good care of you."

Alexander released an album that he had previously held. He offered the album to Aluna and asked her to open it.

"Look, it's a picture of Mama and Aunt Ayunda holding you. The photo was taken exactly two months before your mother's departure."

"You can see how Aunt Ayunda's expression is holding you?"

Hum, Aluna just nodded.

"Tante Ayunda seems to love Aluna pa, here Aunty Ayunda even like Mama Aluna." Aluna answered with tears. He remembered the photo, the last time it was taken before the Creator called back the mother.

"Yeah, you're right. Aunt Ayunda loves you very much, dear. He never differentiates his affection for you or Bryan."

"When your mother gave birth to you, look at all the gifts given by Aunt Ayunda and Om Reymond." Alexander re-imagines a picture of a tiny baby who was just born.

In the photo, a mother is holding a tiny baby who has just been born. Tiredness from giving birth does not remove the hue of happiness from her beautiful face. The struggle between life and death is avenged by a happy smile when a highly anticipated baby comes to this world.

"You know Aluna, who helped pay for your mother's delivery was them because at that time my financial condition was not good. Papa planned to borrow money from them but they gave it away for free."

Aluna glanced at Alexander. He stared at the blue bead that belonged to his teary papa holding back the crystal grains from falling soaked the earth.

"Papa really wants me to accept that matchmaking?" Aluna asked seriously.

"Well, if it's Papa's will, I'll obey. I'm sure, papa will not just choose a mate for this beloved daughter of papa." Aluna got up and immediately hugged Alexander.

"Don't you really want to accept that match?" Alexander asked in no way with his daughter's answer.

"Yes pa, call Om Reymond immediately. Ask him to immediately bring me and my future husband or if papa wants to do our engagement immediately. I'm ready for it." Aluna said enthusiastically. He had to pretend to be tough so that his beloved papa would not be disappointed. He was willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of his beloved father.

"Think of this is my way of filial piety to papa for taking care of me since I was a child." Aluna said in her heart.

It is not easy not to take care of a child with a single parent status. He had to divide his time between making a living and taking care of his daughter. A little he let his guard down and there will be a big problem. Therefore, since entering puberty, Alexander did not allow Aluna to date because for her dating it would only cause problems later on. In addition, he also remembered the promise once made by his friend Reymond that they would match his sons in the future.

Alexander's phone vibrated. He immediately stared at the phone screen and immediately pressed the green button.

"Hello Rey, what a coincidence that you called. I just wanted to call you but it was you first." White teeth were seen when Alexander smiled.

"Oh yeah, how-how's Lex." asked Reymond curiously.

"Gini Rey, my son has given me the answer. He's willing to accept this matchmaking, so we just have to arrange the next step."

"Well, me and my family will soon be preparing for our children's engagement as soon as possible. Give me a week to set it up. Oh right, how about tomorrow we ask our children to meet? Our children must determine the engagement ring according to their taste as well as get acquainted. It has been a long time since they met. It would feel awkward if they suddenly met on the day of the engagement.

"Good idea, I agree. You just set Rey up tomorrow to meet where. I'll have Aluna meet Bryan."

"Ok, ok, tomorrow I'll tell Lex again. Yes, I closed first. Bye Alex's. Reymond turned off the phone.

"Aluna, the Smiths have decided that one week away you will be engaged to Bryan and tomorrow Om Reymond asks you to meet Bryan to determine the engagement ring that you will wear on H day."

"What, that fast?" Aluna was shocked half-dead not expecting that her papa had really sped up all this matchmaking process.

"Death to you Aluna, you have a mouth never guarded. It's like this!" Aluna was upset over herself for not being able to keep oral. He didn't really ask his papa to speed up the application process. He was just carried away but ended up like this.

Hufh, Aluna just sighed deeply. Take it out slowly, repeat it a few times until he finally calms down.

"Pa, it's night. Better to take a break in the room. Take care of the condition of papa, it is not funny if the match of Aluna's engagement day papa even sick." Persuade Aluna by still hugging Alexander.

"Dear, papa come in first. If you're done studying, go to bed so that tomorrow your body is fresher when you meet your future husband." Alexander Ledek.

"Ish papa, don't tease me."

Alexander shuffled Aluna's hair as he made his way to the bedroom.

Aluna was still sitting on the porch of the house, she was still trying to absorb all the contents of the material in the practicum module. While clenching his hands into the air, he was determined to get the perfect score again for tomorrow's pre-test.

"Come on Aluna, spirit!"
