This is the reality that I have to
face it. My mother betrothed me to her college friend's son. As a result of nostalgia
the past. It would be easy if he were, yes he was, a man
the one who wants you to match me is at least the same age as me.
I am not a person who does not like
a man younger than me, but the five-year gap I think is already at a point
the unnatural. Because marriage is basically uniting differences, but if the differences must be united so far. Whether our love and feelings for each other later can be the strong rope that binds marriage.
I got home directly
screaming for mom. Where's mom, what I'm looking for is coming out as soon as dad
tell. I pulled my father's hand to sit. I told him while ranting about
the matchmaking that I arranged with the son of his college friend. Dad smiled instead
try the. I was confused and upset but I still had time to smile
are so.
“ Says mother son is good.” Dad patted my head gently.
“ Whose mother said?”
“ Ibukan has met his son often.”
“ Who?” so mom really
it's been cheating on me, giving me just a picture but he's even been
I met Ren often.
“ Yes betrothed to you, Renan.”
“ What!”
I collapsed in bed,
repeating the incident. Age is not a problem. Yes problems too times,
our difference is five years. No matter where. He's a cute kid
si, yes it is cute. His age is still that. Well, my thoughts overlap.
Between wanting to follow her mother's wishes and also my consciousness.

I went back to school the next morning
with a fucked up mind. Last night my mother convinced me to continue
that matchmaking doesn't make sense.
“ Mother please give me one reason
it makes sense that I'm sure to continue this matchmaking.”
“ How if mom also says
so.” He said in a soft voice but sounded very confident.
“ Age, our lifespan is different 5 years.”
“ Why indeed? I have no problem kok.”
I'm the problem mom. Tranquilize
you are Aya, clear your mind before denying mother any further. Or you
I'll regret it later. Finally because my conscious brain is still working I quit
argue with mom and go to bed.
And I have to teach, I have
two classes today. With concentration broken throughout the lesson,
think of all the words of mother. Finally finished school, I collapsed
at the teacher's desk. Slumped my head. Why does it feel so exhausting today.
Mom's not a very easy person
usually yes. I've been together four times and they all fall into the serious category. Because
I'm dating not SMU era huh. Of the four men who were ever near
with me, only one is serious. Talks about
marriage has become a topic of conversation. But at that time, my mother was still up
shoulder and not yet give one hundred percent blessing. Still saying try to go first.
And finally our relationship ran out well. Not a soul mate, so we
calling it. He and I are not in touch anymore, even though we are not hostile.
Everything just flows, back to the normal situation before dating.
“ Bu Aya excuse me, someone is waiting
in front.” The school guard came to break my daydream about the former.
“ Who sir?”
“ Say his name is Renan.” While
remembering not sure.
“ What!”
I was shocked to death, half,
immediately get up from sitting and rush to the front yard of the school. He really exists
just there. Stand next to the car, while playing hp. When he
seeing me running over, he waved his hand happily.
“ Sister!”
What kind of brother is a boy. Whereof
he knows the school I taught this.
“ What are you doing here Ren?”
“ Picking up sister.”
“ From mom.”
Whaaat! Mother. Why is mom like this.
I finally went back to the office
grab the bag, then get in the car. The one that Ren is driving this kid
still with his happy face. Storytelling everywhere. The point is, he's happy to be
fetch me.
“ Sister what sister does
when is it a holiday?” He asked without looking at me.
“ Why?”
“ Let us do something
on weekends, so we get to know each other.” Why do I feel his voice is cheerful
and it's good to hear.
“ For what?” I answer short
his words, even with just a question.
“ To make sister fall in love with me.”
Hahaha, what is this like
men today are very smart. A science of where he is
these.
“ Ren, are you serious with
your feelings now. Outside of all forms of arranged marriages that parents
we do.”
Car pulled over slowly. Ren looked at.
“ Is it just because my age my sister doesn't like me?”
I was silent not answering. Staring at him,
regardless of his age, he is perfect. Viewed physically,
security and its blanket. Hiss, the last one is no. I am looking for stars again
idols.
“ What no sister likes
from me? How about we try first.” Ren's words began to take him seriously. Him
took my hand. Uh, already dare to hold on to ya you.
“ What?” I'm trying to let go
my hand, but it didn't work.
“ Date me first. Till
I made my brother fall in love and
received my application.” Her warm eyes rendered me helpless.
“ Hey.” I smiled while still trying to let go of my hand.
“ I'm serious Ayana.”
Uh, looks like it's just me this time
heard him say my name. Usually just a sister, a sister.
And his seriousness was still he showed at will,
according to his taste and his way of life.
Getting me was like so
a daily routine he never missed. Sometimes he brings me
food, and strangely always my favorite food. Sometimes there is daylight
delivery of food through an online ojek, delivery from him. The number is out of bounds
a reason to eat it myself. The whole teacher's office is excited, and about
my relationship with Ren is already a hot topic that has no end to them
discuss.
He has been coming for a week.
I'm getting used to it. At home, my family too
just talking about him. Then be already. Fill my head just Ren.
my ears hear only about Ren.
One night mom and dad
put me in the family room. They look very serious. My two sisters
asked to enter the room. I know what this talk is about.
“ Aya how?” mom opened the conversation.
“ Mother.” I only said one
said, my anxiety is running through my whole body. My kind heart and mind.
“ I won't force you Aya,
now all decisions are in your hands. Father and mother will support him.” Such were their words, yet the look in their eyes said another. It's like pulling my hands and feet together.
“ Think with a heart
clearheaded. Put aside your age difference, and see Renan as Renan.
God's answer is not just about dreams, but how
Allah makes your meeting easier it is a sign that you are indeed
be paired.”
Can I do it.
SERIATE
