"Silvia, I swear, I just misdelivered! I misdid a voice note! And last night my cell phone battery ran out! Silvia, I'm not lying! You must know that I'm a man who never lies!"

Silvia put on an annoyed expression while listening to the explanation from Vedra. Silvia looked at the man who currently looked panicked. Many times the man fixed the location of his slumped glasses.

Vedra did not even enter work just to meet and try to explain all these misunderstandings to Silvia. This woman will soon be his wife after they dated for the past year.

"Vedra, you're so damn good to me! I called you hundreds to thousands of times, I felt almost crazy just because of one voice note from you! You've always been like this, Vedra! You've always been like this! It's hard to communicate with you! As if in this relationship it was just me who was so enthusiastic and wished so much!" silvia toilet.

"Silvia, that's not true" Vedra said. "Please don't think like that! I'm sorry and I'll be serious about not making a mistake! Really, I'm just in trouble with a woman named Verda, she's my office partner, and I've done something wrong with her valuables, and she's asking me for damages!"

"What?! What kind of valuable items end up making you have to compensate?! Did you take her virginity?!" cycar Silvia's.

"Bu-no, Silvia! I-I'm not such a lowly man! I threw away the photos of that female idol! Those photos were the woman's valuables," Vedra stammered.

Silvia folded her hands in front of her chest. She was completely out of thought with this man who was going to be her husband. According to Silvia, Vedra feels very mysterious, even though they have been dating for a year and finally decided to get married, but somehow Silvia suddenly hesitated with her decision. Moreover, Silvia's parents suddenly sent something that made Silvia even more hesitant to continue her steps with Vedra.

Silvia took out a brown envelope from inside her handbag, thrusting the envelope towards Vedra.

"What is this, Silvia?" ask Vedra.

Vedra opened the envelope in which there were papers containing writings and drawings and calculations that Vedra did not understand.

"That's a letter I received from my parents. It is the result of predictions about our marriage relationship later. My mother sent me the prophecies of seven fortune-tellers who concluded that we were no match, Ved. And my parents asked that we not continue our relationship to the marriage stage" Silvia explained.

"What-what?!" Vedra jumped in shock. "Silvia, how could that be! How can you cancel our marriage just because of these prophecies!" said Vedra.

"Vedra, you know, don't you, my parents are very clinging to the prophecies? When I heard the news that we were getting married, my parents immediately contacted these fortune-tellers and that was the proof, all the fortune-tellers saw the same thing so as to draw the same conclusion, we cannot continue our relationship to the marriage stage!"

Vedra looked at Silvia's teary eyes. Silvia's tears broke again, already all night she cried because Vedra sent her a terrible voice note, plus this morning had to receive a letter from her parents that contained the results of bad predictions about her married life later, and this morning had to receive a letter from her parents, it really made Silvia's emotions drained.

"Silvia," Vedra took Silvia's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Silvia, the prophecy is only the light of man, it should not be used as a reference. Didn't we agree to live together and face things together?" ask Vedra.

"Silvia, I love you so much, and I want to live with you. Is it because all these prophecies make us have to retreat?" continued Vedra.

"I'm sorry, Vedra, I love you too and want to live with you! But I can't resist the fate that's been etched! I hope you understand," Silvia took off Vedra's hand which was tightly clasped.

Silvia was still sobbing, while Vedra was still deep in her own thoughts.

Silvia wiped her tears with a tissue, trying to calm herself down.

"Vedra, I really respect no matter what my parents decide, I don't want to be the son of a dissident. My parents' blessing is very important to me" Silvia said.

Vedra still looks hit.

"Thank you Vedra, take good care of yourself" Silvia said goodbye.

Vedra bowed lethargic as soon as she saw Silvia's departure.

...*****...

Vedra opened the square-shaped glasses she was wearing and rubbed her face with all her rage. Vedra really did not expect that he again failed to get married. This is the third time he has failed to marry.

Seven years ago, he failed to marry because his girlfriend died in a traffic accident. Four years later, he again failed to marry because his lover committed an affair.

Now Vedra must swallow back the bitterness because of ridiculous predictions that really look like nonsense. 

"This man does not suit you because based on the calculation of the birth date of the two prospective brides if added up will bring bad luck throughout life. This man was born when the moon lost the power of the universe" Vedra read one of the prophecies.

"The power of the universe is very influential on a person's sustenance, when married to him later, the sustenance will be very far away so that it will often be affected by financial and spiritual problems. Men born when the moon loses the power of the universe will also have an impact on its power in satisfying women" Vedra continued.

"This household will continue to face conflict, quarrels after quarrel will continue to occur. Your household will not be given offspring, one of you will die young or divorce at the age of seven years of marriage,"

"Gosh, this is really so bad! This is a character assassination! Do I need to sue these fortune-tellers?!" mad at Vedra while slamming the sheets of paper onto the table.

Vedra's phone rang, he immediately answered.

"Hello, Mother," replied Vedra

"Vedra, I've increased the number of invitations that I will invite at the show ngunduh ghost later! Everything so five hundred invitations, so for consumption must be added another thousand servings!"

"Mother, there are so many invitations, ma'am," said Vedra flabbergasted.

"'Yes, it has to be a lot! Everyone should know that you are getting married! You will not fail again like before! Moreover, you will marry a woman as beautiful as Silvia!" cerocos Mother Vedra.

Vedra frowned, it felt like the burden of the man's life was again increasing. Vedra and Silvia have planned a wedding in two places, namely the hometown of Silvia as a venue and reception and then continued with the event ngunduh mantu in the hometown of Vedra.

Not a few funds that must be spent by Vedra who only work as an employee in one of the private companies. All the money he had was clearly budgeted to finance his wedding.

"Mom, I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have bothered like this, after all I'm actually." Vedra hung up her sentence.

"Vedra, I'm so happy that you're finally getting married! I can't wait to prove to everyone who thinks you're just gonna be an old bachelor! You will even have a beautiful wife! I can't wait to show Silvia off to everyone!" 

Vedra was stunned, she was completely unable to tell her mother that she had failed to get married again.

"Yes, transfer the money immediately! So you can go to town! I have been waiting for the cook to prepare a lot of beef and chicken stock before the price will rise! Also chili and onions will skyrocket when it is mating season!" continued Madam Vedra.

"Yes, well ma'am, I understand," said Vedra.

"'Oh yes, send me extra money for the cost of sewing on the family uniform!"

Vedra was massaging her temples again, it felt like she could really go crazy. The money spent was so much and it turned out that this marriage had to fail.

Oh no! This marriage must be done! Inner Vedra.
