My Mr's. Virgin

Chapter LXIII

A girl sat on top of the para-para behind the house, pensively gazing westward, enjoying the twilight that was almost anchored. He saw for a long time a ring that was wrapped on his ring finger.

Plain white ring Andreas gave. Although it is similar to the ring he has been wearing for the last two years, the thickness of the ring is not the same. Giving Om Alo is thicker and shiny, while the one embedded in the ring finger is now thin and light, and also does not look writing that is financial A. M. Where is the Om Alo ring?

On the night that she and Andreas were sitting outside the house after their return from the nightclub, she asked about the ring that became the bridge to their matchmaking.

Andreas said, it was the wedding ring of his father and mother. Mother of Chinese descent. Her name was Xin Mei Lin. After marrying his father, his mother converted to Catholicism. Her first name plus Maria, so, always called Meri. A M is the initials of the name of father and mother.

Therefore, the morning before his departure to Madawat terminal, he returned the ring to Om Alo. Instead, Andreas pinned another ring on Mariana's finger. It was after Mariana entered and sat on the bus, while Andreas stood on the edge of the bus. Through the window of the bus, she tells Mariana to ask for a phone number, as well as pin the ring on the girl's finger.

Andreas said, although their marriage would be just a mockery and there was no feeling of love between the two of them, but the family members approved of the marriage. The ring became a symbol to bind them. Go through what was first. How ahead, let God govern everything.

He smiled, then looked back at the sky. 'Consideration of dusk teaching to wait, for its beauty only comes when it is time.'

...***...

Mama came to throw her body beside Mariana, making the dreamy girl aghast like an ape who heard the sound of a rifle. He smiled gently at his eldest son, when their eyes met. His hand was stretched out rubbing the girl's head.

"So mama went to find you" he said.

Mariana silently waited for the next mama's talking point.

"Mama talked to Mias about the arrival of the Andreas family tomorrow."

Mariana nodded. "Om say what?" tanyakanya.

Mom smiled. Unwilling to answer Mariana's question, she asked another matter. "Are you seriously accepting this match?" Mariana nodded again. Convinced.

"What about Andrew and his family?"

"Those who want Ana" she replied.

"Mama, their family's how. Dari says, Andreas is the son of a successful businessman in Maumere."

Mariana nodded. "They're people, Ma. The house is large, two levels, the yard is also spacious. Andreas has his own house."

"This Mama's son too, is actually a rich prima donna. Had it not borne the burden of the family," said the mother, holding Mariana's hand. His gaze was sad and guilt permeated the soul.

"I'm sorry mom, for bothering you" he continued.

Mariana shook her head. "Ana Mama's son. Firstling. So, it's Ana's duty to help ease the family's burden."

"Your father-in-law's candidate, what's his name?" mama changed the topic.

"Om Alo" replied Mariana.

"Is he nice to you? How's wife?"

"Om Alo is very good. As for his wife, he doesn't know where she is now."

Mariana silent. He was confused to answer. Want to tell the truth, afraid that you will misunderstand. Still ringing in his ear their conversation the other day about the contract marriage agreement. Although that was only one of his tricks to bind Andreas, but the man took their agreement seriously. So, you better keep it a secret from everyone.

Seeing Mariana speechless, mama grabbed her arm. "Andreas would have agreed." Smile on my lips. She raised her eyebrows around Mariana, making her daughter smile too.

"If he does not agree, it is impossible, right he appeared as a hero in front of Dita's mother and the Novi?"

Recalling the incident, Mariana's smile blossomed even more. His face was red. His heart is also flowery.

"Ah .. hero save the beauty. Ha-ha-ha!" Mama laughed.

Mama's happy to tease Mariana. Maybe because his son almost never expressed his heart to him. It is different from the more open dance. Anything she knows about Mariana is always through Dance. His firstborn son was more fond of keeping his feelings. Even if he wants to tell a story, only to Dance or to his best friend Hendra and Gina. So, if there's a chance, he'll tease his son.

"So remember your father (father)," he continued. Mariana laughed too.

"The good step, if your father (your father) is still there. He must be the happiest man to see his beloved son end his bachelor." Silent. No one's talking. Loss comes back to their feelings.

"When you were in Maumere, you met Daniel." Mom broke the silence between them.

"She bought me meatballs. Ah ... The boy did not change immediately." Mariana looked at my mother. The shadow of Daniel's handsome face was again incarnated in plain sight.

Mama stroked Mariana's curly hair. "Dad!" call mama, "it's not easy to forget your first love, but you have to learn to let go of her." Mama paused for a moment, taking a breath before continuing.

"First, Mama really wanted her to be a daughter-in-law. However, Mama does not want you to get a mother-in-law like Dita's mother." His gaze was softly staring at Mariana.

"Mama just wants you to be happy, and maybe Daniel's not your soul mate. Believe me, when you lose someone, it does not mean your world is lost because there are still better people who will wait for you there. Keep moving, pursue your happiness. Remember that! Mama's prayer always accompanies your steps." Mariana hugged mom. Mama returned her embrace.

Suddenly Mariana's heart was slashed. If there were a father, what would he say? Did you accept his decision? Yes, because he believes, father always supports and accepts his decision.

Mariana let go of their embrace. Mama kissed the top of her head affectionately.

"Mama!" call him.

"Hmm?"

He stared at my mother's face for a long time. The wrinkled face coupled with the burn scars, sometimes caused guilt in his heart. "Tell me, don't overdo it, okay?"

"Why?"

"Ana doesn't want them to think we're greedy." He came back on the initial topic.

Mama shook her head. "It does have to be because in order to have a girl they need to sacrifice. It is also a form of sincerity of their heart to find you. You know what our customary marriage tradition is?" Mariana nodded.

"You will be part of the Crowe tribe. You will also leave us and release the Content membership tribe to enter to become part of your husband tribe later."

Mariana understood what my mother said, everywhere the same. The woman who is about to marry, she must get out of her family, follow and live a united family member and tribe of husbands. Releasing membership does not mean no longer considered a child by his parents, but belongs to the husband and the tribe of the husband.

Mariana was silent, submissive contemplating the ground, staring at the black ants that were out looking for food.
