Pariban So Rokkap

Jonathan Situmorang's

I am still busy in the office precisely in my room, still struggling with a laptop in front of my eyes, even though the clock has shown 18:00 and the employees in this office should have gone home. But because I was busy and there was no sign of going home, no one dared to go home.

The officials in this office also busied themselves, although in their hearts they must have cursed because I as the Boss had not come home yet, I know also in the minds of my employees, I know, they must have hoped that I would go out and go home so that they would come home too, for there was a family waiting at home.

Yesterday and today are no different for me, even though my marriage is counting days. When my parents were busy taking care of all the affairs of our wedding party, Batak traditional party which is famous for many customary rules, I have not taken a holiday for the wedding.

I am hardworking and responsible in every job and responsible in every action. Including if I impregnate people's children, I will definitely be responsible as well.

My name is Jonathan Alexsander situmorang, a man of batak descent, I am thirty years old,

Currently, I am serving as Director at PT.Naima Karya in place of father. The company engaged in construction in Jakarta belongs to my family.

Married to Nettania is not my wish, but the desire of parents. Because right now I'm in a position to still have a lover.

Oi, if you ask .... Why not refuse, this is not the age of matchmaking anymore, that sentence I have often heard from the mouths of my friends.

But it is not that easy, the customs that our family guards will be kept handed down to generations, so as not to be lost inedible time and eroded by the times.

One of them as I experienced, married my pariban son of my uncle, brother of Mami.

Nettania boru Nainggolan, that's his name, his age is far below me, arguably the new boy yesterday afternoon, he just finished High School last year, High School, but because of family tradition and the will of the oppung or grandfather, at his age who still stink fast, he was forced to marry me.

“Why should I marry my own cousin? She was a little girl too" I protested one night.

“Because the time is very urgent, your grandmother is sickly she wants to see the marriage before being called God,” said My mother.

“Mi. how the story is, my age is an adult must marry children, why he was not allowed to grow up, otherwise he went to college first.. married mah can later,”ujarku refused hard.

“What if your grandmother's age isn't long? Mami will be a child who is not devoted to parents, Mami does not want to regret later,” replied mami began to shed crocodile tears.

“What about me, why should I? Do you know I have a boyfriend?"

“Stop your relationship with Micah, Mami doesn't approve, Mami doesn't approve.”

Micah lady Blesteran Manado-English model. Her beauty does not need to be explained anymore, of course, makes her the target of men, but because of my strong determination that managed to conquer her heart and become her lover, she said, from college until now, we have been in a relationship for four years.

“There is no way Mi, where it could be,” I said, breaking up with micah one of the scourges that have been most frightening to me all this time, but how could I possibly have to break off his relationship and he would belong to someone else later, I really did not want to. But my family didn't give me a choice.

“You choose, you leave the house and choose the woman, I will make Brayen the President Director, it is also scary for me, I wouldn't want my position as director to be replaced by my cousin and I'm in the scribble of my family's heirs. I cannot escape from wealth and luxury.

“Well, I'll marry her, but at least give her a picture, I want to know what kind of boy I marry later,” I said.

Mami gives her cell phone showing a photo of a teenage boy dressed in high school.

“Oh .. Oh my goodness, Mami's time wants me to marry a woman with such a model, what do my friends say later?”

“His appearance is like that because he lives in the village.Tan’ used to also mami like that, after wandering and living in Jakarta can only take care of himself,” Mami defended him.

The woman or prospective wife I will marry lives in the village, precisely on the island of Samosir Lake Toba North Sumatra.

A little about the beautiful island,

Lake Toba is one of the famous tourist attractions in Sumatra, not only in Sumatra even in the world. The island formed by the eruption of the super massif volcano VEI 8 about 77,000 years ago, even the largest eruption on Earth in the period of 25 thousand years.

That's a little review of Lake Toba Samosir island. A beautiful lake with its million charms and natural beauty.

Back to Nettania about the woman who will be my future wife.

“Continue, how's Than? the sound of my mama is made soft again, as soft as a Meranti sponge, a souvenir sponge typical of Medan. Although the original when talking like wearing toa.

Mami's voice is loud when talking, sometimes like a fight, but this time her voice is made soft, with a look of hope.

“Later if Nia has arrived in Jakarta and is legally your wife, Mami will take care of it well, so you are not ashamed,” said Mami.

“Geez Mi, I have to apologize to women all over the world first, instead of insulting, but he needs a new penchakmak worthy for Nathan,” I said in an annoyed tone.

“His face is also many islands, it's panu yes Mi?” asked my sister Nita, making me even less tasteful.

“Iya.in the village of Mami it will live in the top village, so the water is difficult to get, especially if it is dry season, sometimes we also rarely shower, so the water is difficult to get, there is water for cooking alone is grateful, it could be on Nia's face it is panu,” said mami made me cough. Realizing the woman I marry will be a village woman, whose face is filled with small islands of panuan.

Married a cousin who was still a child and lived in the village, somehow it will be later.

I don't want to be an ungodly child, obeying the wishes of my parents is one way I respect them.

With all the debate and agreement, I finally relented and decided to get married in the village in the house of Nettania .

Shy and not confident one of my considerations, then I refused his wedding Jakarta.

I can't imagine my friends looking at me later when I get married, take Micah off and marry Nettania two very different things, like throwing Diamonds take silver.

Mami had been in the village for over a month taking care of all the preparations for our wedding.

Just counting the days, but my heart feels heavy to keep the promise I made to my family.

Now in my room, I'm still struggling with my work, checking the tender results for our next project.

All right, I'll get married and keep working as usual, I end up closing my laptop and leaving my room.
