My name is Diana Aprilia, a female employee of one of the leading companies engaged in the field of expedition in my city. I am 28 years old, not married, do not have a boyfriend and independent.
28 Years old, the age that should no longer have its own status. But I enjoy my life. Wherever and when I am, no one forbids. I am free to determine my direction.
In addition to the status of a female employee, I also have other odd jobs, being a cashier and personal assistant of my sister Inah in a simple cafe of hers.
All the time, life and energy I devoted to work, work and work so I forgot that my age was approaching head 3.
My parents' insistence that I get married more and more often I hear, but I respond normally.
"Son, when did you get married" my mother asked one day.
I fell silent, trying to find answers that I hoped my mother would receive and would not raise new questions.
"Don't you introduce me to your mom and dad, son?" mother continued, seeing that I did not react to answer her question.
I fell silent, turned around for a moment and went back to online novels on one of my favorite apps. I don't seem to want to ask the same question anymore because my reaction won't change. Mother's face looks sad.
"Mom, a soul mate is God's secret. Whether tomorrow or the day after, if it's time, Diana will definitely get married and give mother and father grandchildren like sister Inah, be patient yes ma'am," I replied at length, unable to look at the disappointed face of mother.
Wrinkles on the mother's face indicate the age of the mother is getting older. Well, naturally mom and dad asked me to get married soon.
Mumpung father and mother are still alive, son, said one day.
But that's how I am, not wanting to think of something that is God's secret. Let it flow as it is.
Honestly, there were some men who approached me. But I refuse for various reasons that my brother thinks are too far-fetched.
Brother Inah and brother Rama her husband became a spy mother as well as my matchmaker. Some men have been combed by Inah and Rama's brother to me. But no one has "clicked" yet.
I want a soul mate that conforms to my personal standards. Ganteng is not a top priority because in my opinion, it is difficult to maintain a relationship with a handsome man. I would rather have an attractive man, equally passionate, well mannered, dear to the family, be able to compromise and be a good priest in my household ark.
When Guntur was introduced by brother Inah and brother Rama to me, at first I was not very interested. Apart from being handsome Guntur mas who did not enter my nomination, also because I had no interest in marrying a soldier.
Mother said, if married to the army, quickly become a widow.ha.ha.ha, there-there is a reason for mother.
But the main thing about my inability to marry TNI members is because I doubt their loyalty.
Oh yes, one more, the intensity of time together will be reduced due to the obligation of a TNI member to obey every official rule. A year out, a week at home.
duh.mana hold me.
I also have 3 friends who are always loyal to accompany me, the twins Nani and Nina and Imah who work in an office with me. All three already have a boyfriend, different from me who is still at home.
Well, these three friends of mine are actually dating soldiers inversely proportional to me, right ?. Every Sunday night, I was invited by the twins for a five-way walk. Nani and Nina with their respective girlfriends, and me?. Of course alone.
"An, I'm looking for a girlfriend for you huh, temen mas Anton. The guy is handsome, you know," said Nina once.
"Army?" just short
"Yes" said Nina.
"Okay," I replied with a laugh and sneered at him. Nina gregethan. Pinched my cheek was fat.
"Doubtful. Don't be a lot of choosy, ntar can rotten jackfruit lo," Nina reminded as a result of my picky nature.
My life is with my two best friends. If not together, I prefer to spend time watching the latest movie in the cinema accompanied by a large silverqueen chocolate bar studded with my favorite cashews and a can of cold drinks.
I can feel at home for a long time in the cinema, of course while enjoying the latest movie that plays.
The beginning of my introduction to Guntur mas occurred in the cafe owned by brother Inah and brother Rama. I who have a hobby of singing really like to hang out at the cafe while helping Kak Inah serve guests who come.
Sometimes making coffee and noodles boiled orders for cafe guests, sometimes as an impromptu cashier. So dech, whatever I do to help brother Inah and brother Rama raise his cafe.
That night, because I had to shop for cafe needs, brother Inah assigned me to help brother Rama replace him.
I agree, because the time is really fitting again rame-ramenya. Sunday night, of course Brother Rama needs my help.
The figure of the Thunder mas was originally not that attractive to me. The thing that makes me give a little attention is the sound that is melodious even though the music sung by Guntur is not the pop music genre that I like.
But the melodious sound of Guntur successfully singing dangdut song by legendary musician Rhoma Irama managed to attract my attention. As the sister of the cafe owner, I also have an obligation to please the guests even if only with a smile and makeshift praise.
"The name is Guntur, '" I was surprised.
Suddenly Brother Rama had stood behind my back, smiling as he called out the name of the man without me asking.
Highlight the eyes of brother Rama towards the big tall man in a striped uniform who was sitting at table 12 with his friend. Hmmmm... The matchmaker's mission begins.
" No nanyak", I said indifferently.
Kuladeni kandaan kak Rama. It will be a long affair
Suddenly the figure of the man waved at me. I see Brother Rama is still busy welcoming some visitors who just came.
I had to stand up and walk up to the man in a striped uniform after first locking the cashier's desk drawer.
"There's something I can help you with, sir," I asked when I got in front of table 12.
Secretly my eyes examined the man sitting before me. Oriental face type with slightly narrow eyes and wide face shape with a pair of sturdy jaws, skin is not too white and a small stud adorned to the right of the earlobe. Athletic, tall and sturdy like a member of the TNI.
Aware of being noticed, the man smiled at me while sticking his hand out.
"Don't call me sir, just call me Thunder mas," I was surprised to hear the thunder mas's voice.
My face felt hot, it was certain that the hue of my face turned red with embarrassment. Fortunately, the light in the cafe room that was a bit dim helped me hide the red spray on my face.
Duh, get caught dech.
I greet the thunder mas's hand by clutching both hands towards the chest. A signal that I can't shake hands with him. Guntur noticed my gesture and pulled his hand back. I nodded in agreement.
"What's your name" asked Guntur again.The look in his eyes still fixed on me.
"Diana" I replied briefly.
I played my fingertips to get rid of the nervousness that suddenly appeared.
I don't know what's on Thunder's mind. But our introduction that night was the beginning of a change in my life's destiny.
