Marrying a Woman of Mother's Choice

Flashbacks

"Tenri, there's something I want to tell you. But please don't be angry, let alone hate me. It's just because I don't know what to do anymore" Daffa said one afternoon while they were on campus. They were sitting on chairs that were along the corridor road.

"Whatis that? How did your face turn out that way, Daff? Like tension and fear, why would your sweat be on the outside?" tenri asked as if jokingly, laughing at Daffa's strange demeanor that afternoon.

"Tenri, I like you. I love you ...."

That phrase of love just came out of Daffa's mouth. Gliding smoothly with a quivering sound, cold fingers and endless sweat poured out.

Tenri pulled his hand from Daffa's hand, which Daffa was holding.

Tenri's gaze turned cold. He seemed to dislike Daffa's attitude just now.

"What Daff? Likey? Of love? Aren't you wrong?"

"Yeah Tenri, I like and I love you" said Daffa who tried to convince Tenri by pulling back Tenri's hand to hold it.

With a bit of roughness, Tenri let go of that grip again. "Daffa, this is not true. You know, we are in office. After all I've said to you, I won't belong to anyone because I've been betrothed to someone. I must respect both the decision and the will of my deceased parents. You're crazy, aren't you?"

"Dad, I'm crazy. I'm crazy because I can't harbor this feeling Tenri. I don't know until when I can only love you in silence. I'm tormented, Tenri."

"It's not true, and you know it. I've considered you a friend, only it's no more Daffa. Do you want our friendship to be ruined just because of your silly feelings?"

"Nothing ridiculous, Tenri. I'm serious about you."

Tenri stood up from the chair, picked up the bag and book he had brought and left Daffa alone.

"Tenri ..." call him.

However, Tenri never turned around again. Since then, their relationship has become increasingly strained. They were never seen together again, sometimes there was only Tenri and Olla, or Daffa who was alone.

Though they are both known as different pairs of Faculty, different majors are the most okay. Many people think that the two have been together all this time. So when they look never together again, people also think that the two are in a storm or even break up.

Daffa had completely lost his chance of getting Tenri. The woman shut the door of her heart to anyone. Just because of the matchmaking that I don't know when they're getting married.

Tenri just didn't want anyone to get hurt, either himself or Daffa. Because living a relationship without a blessing, it is the same as a child who is opposed to his parents. Therefore, Tenri did not want such things to happen.

He believes, whatever the choice of his parents, that is the best choice among all his life choices so far. Every parent wants the best for their child.

Tenri continued to shy away from Daffa, he silenced the man until Daffa decided to move campus and move city. Because if he was on the same campus as Tenri then he would never focus on his lectures.

Heavy he had to leave the city of Makassar, then move again. Especially in Makassar he showed his love to a girl born and raised in Makassar. It was very difficult indeed, but Daffa promised that if one day he met Tenri again, no matter if the woman was what her condition was, he would pursue and accept Tenri as she was.
