MY HUSBAND'S BAD BOY!
Persuading
“You are staying said Mother, Julia. Remember that! You're twenty-four years old. It's not young age anymore to keep playing around in and out of the woods, climbing mountains, having fun out there!”
“Bu, there are still many girls older than me who are not married yet. They're just relaxing, huh. Relax, Mom. Later Julia also met a mate. Tarzan alone in the woods continues, meeting his soul mate, Jane from the city. I do not remember the saying, if the soul mate will not go where.” The sweet girl smiled. The dimple of her cheek adds to the level of sweetness her face is near perfect.
“Iya. But, do not forget also the saying that says ... if not everywhere, how can a mate?” sahut Nia, his mother.
“Hah? A saying from where is it? Kok Julia just heard.”
“The proverb I just created. Now try you think, where can you meet a soul mate if every day your work is just out in the forest? The one you meet is lutung kasarung!”
“Ya ‘kan Julia work is out in the forest, Bu.” The girl actually did not have a regular job. He was entering a job application at a well-known mining company in his city.
Now his activities help a foundation as a Forestry Consultant. The forest is the second home for Julia Amalia Rohendi. Besides because the place where she lived was very close to the forest, Julia felt that only the forest was a place that did not need pretense.
“That's it, I want to help you. Try Mom to ask now, you answer Mom's question quickly, okay?”
“Ready!” Julia stood straight in front of her mother like a soldier facing the commander.
“Name?”
“Julia Amalia Rohendi.”
“Usia?”
“Twenty-four years over one hundred and fourteen days.”
“Remorous history?”
“Nothing. Ih ... Mother mah, son alone rooted!” Julia was upset because she felt bullied by her own mother.
“Not the Mother who spoke just now. Your good history is empty, big zero! So how can I believe you'll find your own soul mate? Already, no but-but again, all I have prepared, you just accept so.”
“In clothes accept so? Clothes still mending, not fitting size can be changed, is .. if husband?” grouse Julia.
“So how? Wanna see it first? Want to be on the pass first? Or directly use?” insist Nia does not want to lose.
“Serden Mom, huh! Tastered!” Julia won't argue with her mother anymore. Everything her mother said was right. Her love story is really concerning.
Sometimes Julia is also surprised by herself who is not easy to love. He once discussed this complicated matter with Yanti, his best friend.
“So difficult ... looking for a mate, let alone a good man,” Yanti chant imitate a song that is viral on tiktok. Although they lived in the countryside, but the entire city facilities had already penetrated into the region.
“Quiet, Jul! You and I are in a similar position. Same again own alias jomlo. The difference is, I've changed girlfriends dozens of times, while you? Even if never. Either until when the status of this amorous will be removed from our ID.”
“Jaljul, Julia! A complete call what's the trouble, anyway?” julia protest.
Yanti chuckles. Julia does not want her name called half, must be intact, because she likes the name given by her mother.
Julia from Greek, the male version of Julius, the female version of Julia which means ageless. Julia has a youthful face. For little girls it seems like age is sometimes deceiving.
“Actually I have no problem not having a boyfriend also .. make it complicated, tau!”
Julia snorted, Yanti melengos.
“I'm just confused, Yan. Why can't you easily like or love people? Well, many High School friends like, many college friends who shoot. But, I'm ‘tuh kayak who feel not fit aja.”
“Yes is good, but you also have to be vigilant.” Yanti put on a serious look.
“Watch how do you mean?” ask Julia curiously.
“Good because you are consistent people, lazy to try like me. Beware, because usually when you meet the right person, you will be bucin mampus!"
Julia pushes Yanti's head.
“Eh, haphazardly! My crown was touted anyway!”

Nia was hanging bananas while her phone was ringing. Incoming call from Intan, his best friend who now lives in Jakarta. After making small talk, Intan conveyed his point.
“Max have responded, Nia. So, we're besanan!” Intan laughed crisply, the woman called while lying in a chair beside the swimming pool after yoga.
“Wait! Not who wants to be fooled by Julia is Zach?” nia answered making Intan laugh.
“Heh, dengerin .. I if you prospect Zach without the support of his Papa, it's the same as the wall. Hence, now that Max loves support, it's easier to set up Zach. Anyway you get ready. Give me a week two weeks, so Zach's heart melts.”
“Intan, what we do is not, anyway? Sometimes I hesitate, a little worried that Zach will reject Julia. If it's Julia anyway, I guarantee the boy's obedient.”
“Nia .. We want to be besanan, not planning a crime. As long as our goals are good, done well, God willing the results are also good. Moreover, our children come from good families. That's what makes me sure this matchmaking will work.”
“Alright, I just didn't expect it, our friendship could be this good, and our promise used to be able to materialize.”
Nia remembered she was just a fad when she separated from Intan who was about to move to Jakarta at that time. They promised to keep telling each other, until marriage and having children, even if possible will match their children. Apparently, the promise they still remember until now. Intan who floated the idea first when confiding about Zach's behavior to Nia.
Seeing that her mother was busy taking calls, Julia slipped away. His heart was troubled by his mother's matchmaking plan. When it's like this he needs advice to strengthen the heart. The girl came to Mang Ebo, her teacher.
“I'm confused, Mang. My soul mate's arranged by Mother. Matchmaker ‘kan in the hands of God.”
“Ya means God is arranging it through your mother. It is not good to be single if it is worthy of marriage, in order to avoid zina.” Mang Ebo gave an answer very carefully.
“But I don't know him yet, Mang. What if we don't match later?” ask Julia plain.
“Not yet?” Julia shakes. “Ya stay acquaintance. It takes five minutes at most. About compatibility, what fits? You're a girl, she's a boy. Which does not fit it if women are equal women, men are just as men as it is happening now.” Julia fell silent.
He actually wanted to ask further, but he himself was confused as to what to ask.
“Niatkan all for worship, Julia. If the foundation of worship is to seek the pleasure of Allah, God willing, everything will be facilitated. What you said did not fit earlier, will feel suitable later.”
Julia looked carefully. But there was still something stuck in his mind. Is it possible to live with someone she doesn't know at all?
