My Love Ends At Pesantren

Accepting Matchmaking

Today something is different, Laura looks sluggish. He was daydreaming a lot, not knowing what he was thinking. Mentari and Monika approached him and suddenly shocked him.

“ You did Ra ? You still think about that matchmaking ?”Laura turned her head to look at Monika and nodded in response to Monika's question.

“ You've met the man ?” again Laura just nodded. Making Monika can only take a breath and throw it away violently.

“ From your face, surely that guy is ugly huh ? Not your taste, is it?” guess Monika. Now Laura no longer nodded, but now she shook her head.

“ He is handsome really, from his posture is also attractive,” said Laura with a faint. He turned to look at his two friends in turn, seen from his face both of them seemed to ask then what makes you so weak.

“ The problem is that the guy has a girlfriend, and I can't possibly ruin their relationship,” Mentari hugs Laura which even makes Laura feel more guilty.

I'm sorry Ra, I can't possibly accept this matchmaking, I love Mentari very much, muttered Rio who was watching the three from a distance.

“ Monika, said my mama, you and Radit were betrothed, is it true so ?”

The mentor was surprised by Laura's question. Monika who was asked could only scratch her head which was not itchy while laughing.

“ Why did you guys receive that matchmaking ?” ask Laura.

“ At first I rejected it because I love other people, but after I thought there was no harm in me accepting the match, Radit was a person I knew well, after all, although sometimes his behavior sucks but in fact he is a good man and very loving. I accepted it, and it turned out that she also accepted it, after that we tried to get to know each other and we never regretted the match,” Monika spoke with a big smile, I see if this moment is very happy.

“ Oya, because you already know about the matchmaking, then I will tell you if we will get married after graduation later,” continued Monika.

“ Wow congratulations nik, you must be very happy. I was thinking about my relationship with Rio, will we also end up in the guarantee like you guys ?” mentari said, there was pain that perched on Laura's chest.

“ You why bro ?” Radit approached Rio who was standing looking at the three girls who were talking on the sidelines of Futsall.

“ You have a problem with Mentari ?” now Azka is asking while holding Rio's shoulder.

“ We have no problem kok,” said Rio reassured his two friends.

“Oya Dit, I heard you will get married after graduation later, and said you and Monika were betrothed, really ?” Rio turned to look at Radit.

“ Turns out the news quickly also spread yes. The plan is like that, young marriage fun bro, can be friendly without fear of sin,” after saying that, Radit laughs himself with his words.

“ Very bad loe, why never tell ?” Azka who was upset with her best friend was immediately snapped Radit's forehead.

“ Instead of not saying, we just want to find the right time, the plan is after the invitation is finished we want to talk, but instead get caught first,” Radit said with a laugh.

“ Why did you accept the matchmaking Dit ? Is it because you already like Monika so you received it ?” rio's question sounded full of probing.

“ I accepted it because I could not refuse my father's request, even though I loved another girl. But unfortunately Monika who refused the match, he said he loved someone, and somehow two days after he rejected the match, he changed the answer, he accepted this match. After that we met both, we agreed to get to know each other better, and yes now you can see, we never regret this match, even like a blessing for us,” Radit ended the story, he said, then stand up,

“ Let's go to the girls, I miss the soul mate of my papa,” Radit said as he walked, Azka and Rio followed him from behind.

“ You why Ra ?” radit asked as he stood before the three.

“ He was dizzy thinking about his match, he wanted to refuse taopi can not, want to fear the pain of the boy's lover,” Monika said telling his friend's feelings.

“ Ra facing an arranged marriage is indeed complicated and makes us all wrong, if I really should you just live it, because usually the choice of both parents is best, although sometimes the wrong way, because sometimes the choice of both parents is best, there have been many couples who because they are arranged to live a happy life despite initially being forced,” Radit tries to advise his best friend, he can understand the feelings of his best friend.

“ You've met that guy Ra?” now Azka who asked, was taken by Laura.

“How is the person ? If you think it is good, why not try to live it, you try to know each other first, about the lover, sooner or later he will accept everything, do not let you regret because of your matchmaking, no matchmaking,” said Azka, he did not want if Laura would regret the rejection of her match as she feels now.

“ I'm not that selfish as Ka, I can't possibly hurt that girl,” Laura said as she glanced at Rio. Rio was just speechless listening to the conversation of his friends.

“ Who is that guy? Is he our age or more mature than we are ? I really want to meet him,” said Radit annoyed.

“ Why would you want to meet that man Dit ?” now that Rio started to speak up, there was something strange about his tone.

“ Want to know, I want to tell you the advantages of this friend of mine,” while approaching Laura, I want to know,

“ I want to open his eyes, he can not be selfish, if indeed he wants to refuse the match, he must be firm, but if he can not refuse, if he can not refuse, then he also must firmly break his relationship with his girlfriend, after all they have just dated, not married. So there is no harm in deciding well,” said Radit with excitement. He was also angry with the man.

“ What Rio said was right Dit, the man had a reason why he could not decide his girlfriend, his struggle to get the girl was very difficult, he once told me. She must be the same as me who is in a dilemma, everything goes wrong,” Rio looked at Laura, the girl was very understanding, she was a good girl, Rio thought.

“Already, forget the matchmaking, I get dizzy thinking about it,” Laura said with a bitter smile.

“ If the guy knows what kind of woman Ra is, he will regret letting you go,” Mentari said pat Laura on the shoulder.

“ If you feel I am a good girl, then you should also know if the boyfriend is also better, too much that he has passed, he is a very attractive girl Tar, Tar,” said Laura staring at Mentari. Mentari immediately hugged Laura, Monika also hugged Laura.

“ Laura you are a good girl, you also deserve to be happy without thinking about the feelings of others,” Azka said staring at Laura. Laura just smiled.

“ Azka, can I hug you ?” without waiting for Azka to answer, Laura immediately hugged Azka. Azka then returned Laura's embrace.

“ Laura, don't you want to hug me too?” radit asked as he spread out his hands.

“ Of course I want to hug you too, you two are like big brothers to me,” said Laura and switched to hugging Radit. Azka turns around and hugs Radit and Laura.

Is that the girl I'm gonna let go of ? rio Inner looked at Laura who was in the arms of her two best friends. Monika and Mentari without them noticing, they had already started sobbing in tears.

Today Rio and Laura made a pact to meet, they will discuss what attitude they will take towards the matter of matchmaking. When Rio entered one of the Cafe where they were meeting, he saw the girl he was betrothed to was smiling sweetly. I don't know what the girl was thinking, Rio thought.

“ You have been waiting for a long time Ra, sorry yes, I had a sudden affair,” Rio pulled one of the chairs in front of Laura and sat down.

“ I just also up to kok,” a sweet smile on Laura's face still faithfully adorn her face.

“ You want to talk what Rio ?” laura continued after ordering food.

“ We eat first yes, I am very hungry, after a new meal we talk about,” said Rio. Not long after a servant came to bring their food.

“ After I think, I will receive our matchmaking Ra,” Rio said after finishing his meal.

Prurrrr... uhuk uhuk uhuk. because of shock, Laura was coughed because she accidentally choked.

“ You are okay Ra ?” rio swiftly wiped Laura's mouth, accidentally the gaze of their eyes met, a red tinge adorning Laura's two cheeks.

“ But how is your relationship with Mentari ?” laura asked after she had calmed down.

“ I will talk about it with Mentari, but give me time, and about our marriage, I will ask that we get married after we finish college,” Rio said steadily. There is a firmness of his tone of speech.

“ You agree right?” Rio looked at Laura expectantly.

“ It's up to you, I just follow your decision, because to refuse the marriage, I can't afford,” said Laura honestly. He is ready for his match.

Flashbacks

“ Tar if you were that guy's girlfriend, would you hate me if I accepted that matchmaking ?” laura asked, as she and Mentari were sitting in the school garden.

“ Why should you hate, you will do it because of force, not because you want to disrupt my relationship, so it is not your fault, I will do the same when in your position, too,” said Mentari steadily. Mentari's answer is like a breath of fresh air to Laura.

“But fortunately I am not the girl, although maybe I will accept it, but I do not know if I am ready to part with Rio,” Mentari said later.

“ Means I will still hurt the girl dong,” Laura said with a sigh of annoyance.

“ Yes of course the decision will hurt him, but I am sure if he is a wise man, he will not be angry with you, because sooner or later he will accept it, one day he will meet another man who was created for him,” now Laura is smiling again, and hope that one day Mentari will find a better man than Rio.
