"Be careful, yeah..." Fara waved her hand at Arsyad who had just escorted her to the front of the house.
After that he turned his body, his eyes narrowed when he saw a car parked in his yard. It looks like there are guests.
Fara walked into her house, she said her greetings and the sight of the three people sitting in the living room immediately turned to her.
"This is Fara" said Mr. Ridwan as he pointed at Fara who had just passed the doorway.
Fara kissed the back of his father's hand, as he was about to leave, he was instead arrested by his father.
"Just sit here first." tell Mr. Ridwan.
I don't want Fara sitting next to her dad. He looked at the two guests who smiled at him several times. Who're they? He had never seen them both before.
"Fara, this is Aunt Lani and Om Robi. Aunt Lani used to be your Mama's best friend." explained Mr. Ridwad.
Fara just smiled as she looked at the two of them.
"Aunty met you last time was in elementary school, before your late mom died. It's big now. Beautiful again. You must have forgotten your aunt." said Ms. Lani.
Fara just smiled and shook her small head. He really doesn't remember Aunt Lani. But Fara actually smelled suspicious smells at this meeting.
"What grade is school?" ask Bu Lani.
"It's 12th grade, aunt."
"When you graduate, where are you going to college?" ask Bu Lani again.
"Fara wants to study abroad. If you can get into Oxford University." replied Fara. "
"Fara, I told you, you go to college here. I'm worried about you. Yes, if your brother can take care of himself."
Fara's face changed. "Ih, Dad. Fara wants to succeed like a sister."
Mr. Ridwan grabbed Fara's shoulder and rubbed his arm. "How's this? Fara's still going to college."
"No papa, just relax. There's still plenty of time. It can be arranged."
Fara was getting more and more clueless with their conversation.
"Sometimes we rearrange this meeting. Our son is a little hard to come by."
The son? Fara's hunch is getting bad. He better go to the room. "Fara's going to the room first." Fara stood up and moved her feet towards the room.
But Fara didn't actually go to the room, she stopped her steps behind the wall to hear their chatter.
"In the past, late Naya did say she wanted to match her little daughter with our son. But we haven't told our son about this. Let's hope our son will accept this match."
"Yes, I haven't told Fara either. Actually I was afraid of Fara. Looks like she's got a boyfriend, coming home every day like this. If we could just marry directly, I'm sure my late wife's choice of mate would be best."
After hearing all that, Fara stepped towards her room. He closed the door to his room and took off his shoes. Then he threw his body on the bed.
"Why the hell, my life's always been arranged like this." Fara grabbed the bolster and hugged him. "I still want to go to college and after college I want to marry Arsyad, not the others."
Fara finally sat down and stared at the trophies and charters lined up on her walls. "Why do I win the Olympics so many times if the ends must be married because of an arranged marriage. Anyway I don't want to." Fara got off the bed, she immediately headed to the bathroom to wash herself who felt tired that day.
...***...
That night, Aslan tried to be a good boy. His parents ordered him to be a good teacher as well. Take responsibility for making successful children. Sometimes he still doesn't feel ready.
When he was in college, he often attended teaching and learning activities at a school foundation. There was at least a little bit of experience that allowed him to teach at this time.
Moments later, Bu Lani entered Aslan's room which was open. He sat down next to Aslan.
"Look, you're getting serious about being a teacher."
Aslan simply rolled his eyeballs.
"The mom just wants what's best for you. Someday you'll understand why Mom and Dad are doing this to you."
Aslan did not answer. He's still focused on the package book and the grid.
"You don't have a candidate wife now, do you?" ask Bu Lani again.
Instantly Aslan stopped the movement of his hand. There is a hidden meaning behind the question. He just shook his head slowly. He still hasn't thought of finding a life partner after suffering a broken heart.
"Curl,"
Not yet Aslan let out a long breath. His mother will rule his life again.
"And when Mama had a friend, she was gone. He used to tell Mama to match her daughter with Mama's son." story Bu Lani.
"Keep, what does that have to do with me?" Aslan started packing his books.
"Yes, my mother's son is just you. So the kid's not sensitive."
Aslan let out a long breath again. Why is his life always arranged in such a way. "So Mama wants to fuck me? Why is everything in my life always Mama and Papa who set. Make another boy, let there be something else you arranged besides me." Aslan now turned to his bed.
"Aslan's." Bu Lani also followed Aslan. "Who are you, just answer when you talk to."
"Mama." replied Aslan briefly. Because she really looks a lot like her mom.
"This is all, if you want to be with this matchmaking you no longer need to be a teacher. You can go back to being a director."
That is, Bu Lani always took out a thousand moves to persuade her son.
This time Aslan did not answer.
"First acquaintance. She's beautiful, smart again, math whiz of your kayak. He's still in 12th grade High School, there's still plenty of time to get close to each other before marriage."
"Still in High School, Ma? Oh my goodness, Ma. Still a snot boy to be betrothed to me."
"Just next week Mama arrange your meeting" said Bu Lani standing up.
"Serah Mama's. Life, death, soul mate, and sustenance I'm all in Mama's hands."
Hearing Aslan's adorable words, Bu Lani throws her son with a pillow. "Someday you will understand why Mama Lakanin is the same as you. It's all for your happiness." then Bu Lani came out and closed the door to Aslan's room.
Aslan laid herself on the bed. He looked at the ceiling of his room.
"Life is really like on a stage. I'm just a cast that's ready to receive a storyline from the director."
