"So you mean Papa wants to marry me to Jim's brother?" ask Mira to make sure.
The father seemed to be moving his fingers on the chair. He nodded. At that time Mira also knew the purpose of her father calling her. And somehow suddenly his chest felt tight to breathe. Like carrying a heavy burden of life.
Mira bowed. He looks worried when he knows the purpose of his father calling him. He took a deep breath so he could speak well to his father.
"Mira ... still wants to pursue ideals, Pa. Mira wants to be a real entertainer. Mira felt she had talent in that field after attending dance school." Mira expressed her thoughts.
The father nodded. "It's good to find your passion. But papa sense of marriage will accelerate to reach your goals. You will find peace in reaching it" said the father again.
Gain tranquility? Accelerate to achieve goals? Is papa delirious? How can you achieve your goals if you are married? It will be very difficult to take care of the household. Papa is weird.
Mira did not accept the way her father thought that. Because as far as he knows, getting married will make it difficult for someone to achieve dreams. Because household life is very difficult. Although in fact he likes Jim, but still the logic is still playing.
Mira shook her head. "Mira doesn't want to get married. Mira's not ready, Pa. Mira wants to pursue her ideals." Mira explained it.
The father took a deep breath. "Papa's worried that in the middle of the journey you'll be stuck in a relationship with no official ties, Mira. Jim's good for you. He can be the husband who cares for you. Don't you like it too?" ask the father again.
"Mira!" At that moment, his father shouted to hold him. "You want to have a relationship without official ties? What if one day you're pregnant and you're out of wedlock? You want to make papa and mama shy?!" The father asked firmly.
Mira stopped her footsteps. Both of his hands clenched in annoyance. He then turned to face his father. "Mira's not like that, Pa. Mira can take care of herself." Mira.
The father shook his head. I can't stop thinking about his daughter's objection. "What if it happens? Should papa throw you into the ocean?" ask his father again.
"Pa's." The wife tried to cool her husband.
"Wild, Ma. He does not know the great risks of people dating. How many young girls are falling apart and aborting their pregnancies because of extramarital relations. The family bore shame and not a few perpetrators ended their lives. He doesn't review the goodness of marriage anymore." The father was upset.
When I heard it, the rumbling inside Mira's heart was so big. He felt that his father was too upset with him. But he was not what his father thought. Disappointed mira. The marriage compulsion was accepted. His heart rumbled, not accepting his father's coercion.
Papa's selfish! Papa is too trifling me!
In the end, Mira left the family room. He returned to his room with a heart full of anger. Mira does not accept, her heart rejects the wishes of her father who asked to get married immediately. Mira still wants to pursue her goals.
