Travel to Riau Islands
"Any five of us?" I glanced at Fero, Claudia, and Wulan.
"Yes, the others are hard to contact." Said Ryan.
"Oh, I'm also hard to call." Inner Nana.
The car is traveling at medium speed. Arrive at Marina Beach. Not far away indeed, many tourists who meet this area, flickering lights at night spoil the eyes. We split up leaving us both.
"Like the place, Na!"
"Like very warm."
Silence between us no one wants to talk first. Tiara, why isn't that boy coming?
"Why didn't Tiara come?" I broke into the silence.
Ryan looked at me. "Don't know him, he's lazy." Lazy what not to?
"Oh,"
"Oh, yeah! What about my offer yesterday?" A very recent offer? I don't know, right now I'm thinking about Tiara's feelings, how that kid feels right now.
"Who have you been close to all this time? Whose same boyfriend? How far along is your relationship?" I said to make Ryan nervous, is Ryan uncomfortable with my question? Yesterday's chat in WA was not answered.
"Near just as a casual friend, a college lady friend as you can see. The only other relationship is Amelia our junior."
"How long has it been dating?"
"Till three years."
"Old, yeah!"
"You really haven't dated in this town?"
Astagfirullah, do I need to repeat 1000 convincing Ryan that I never dated in this city at all?
"Do I need to repeat again. I hope that's the last time you ask that." Mouthed
"Yes, just to be sure, rarely do they not date in this city. This city is a free society, depending on the person." Ryan said.
"How do you think I am? Do you believe my talk just now?"
"Yes, I can believe I can't. Honesty lies in the man himself."
"Have you ever been close to Tiara?"
"Never, what's wrong?"
"Just ask, it seems like she liked you a long time ago, aren't you interested in her?"
"We were close from childhood. Our house is close, I can't like my own neighbors. Neighbors are like family."
"Oh, you're neighbors. It's good, it can't get each other lyrically here and there."
"This you. He used to express his feelings to me. But, I refuse, we are closer than small, we better be friends no more. I love you, I've liked you since I first left for Natuna."
"Where, Na! Should we not commit? Who knows, don't be stiff as a person."
"I want us to be like friends first. If it's appropriate we get married. Waiting for Mapan seems difficult. We better start with zero. So that we feel the true meaning of marriage the pleasure of fighting from Zero together before marriage."
Looks like Ryan's determined to get married why not the same Tiara. I am 24 years old, I am no longer a teenager until I postpone marriage. But, what I did was to protect myself from a wrong marriage. It's not that I don't believe in God's sustenance for his people. Instead, I strongly believe in God's destiny by delaying marriage, God has prepared someone the best in life. For now, not yet warm.
"I agree, if I'm dating, I don't want to date, waste time. I just wait for the right people who want to accept me as I am, not looking at fur and profession, want to accept my profession as well. Not only do I want to be the same, but I have to accept my parents as well."
"Continue?"
"This modern age is still a lot of men who want the same daughter of the doang. But, not want to be with her parents. If women are certainly most of them follow the husband stay at home in-laws. Most men forget their wives and also have parents who have given birth, raised, and sent them to college. Men and their parents only know the man who was born and raised by a mother. Separating his wife from his family. For example, parents are sick and die, need fees for treatment and accompanied by children. But, the husband forbids the wife to visit the parents. Until parents are abandoned. I don't like guys like that, go back in time or don't want to be with me.
"For me, marriage is bringing together two foreign families to form a family that is sakinah, not separate mother and daughter mending marriage with chicks. if she wants to be the same I have to want the same family as well."
"Yes, we both live married lives, don't just fight in the beginning before halal. But, ignore the struggle to maintain the household when it is halal. Already married there will be many deaths that will disrupt our household later including in-laws and in-laws. Most people forget all that. Because men wear their ego, women who struggle alone face a household storm. Women as a bent rib switch functions into a backbone. I don't like."
Uajrku at length seems like Ryan objected to accept the proposal from me. Yes, before marriage it is better to find out first the seeds, bebet, and weight of someone who will marry us. Propose first or make a prenuptial agreement. If violated can also be sued by a religious court. We women don't have to put too much of a feeling in the end know it'll hurt us. At the end we cry, confide in the wrong people, there is no point. Maybe my story here insinuates a lot of people. Know this is the junk I have to get out of before I get married.
"One more thing, I don't subscribe to patriarchy, neither do my brothers and sisters, neither do my other guardians. I don't like the nature of a person."
"Honestly, I actually object to your proposal, I think this is how it is. The child belongs to the parents, the daughter belongs to the father, the responsibility as long as the girl is the responsibility of the father if there is until he is married. Eating right girls deserve to be responsible to their parents until death. But, I need the husband's permission.
"The boy belonged to his mother until death. Same with women. True you say, there is no obligation for a wife to stay in her father-in-law's house if husband's meaning can be rejected, reject no sin, if husband forced a sinful husband. True you say, the husband must provide proper clothing, food, and boards for children and wives. Being unable to provide it doesn't mean he's not a good husband."
"I'll try to prepare everything. How do you think?"
"Alright, let me think first."
"Don't think too much about who knows the demons that come into your imagination thwart your halal plans. Do not be too negative thingking it is also the way the devil tempts you to undergo the longest worship of all time.well, I accept your proposal.
Next first
