The Love Struggle of Doctor Yudha

CHAPTER 11 - Missing the Atmosphere in Korea

When they arrived at the restaurant they talked while waiting for the order to come.

"How bro is your relationship with the teenage girl you told me about?" rio asked curiously.

"He said he would try to open his heart to me" Yudha said with a smile floating on her face.

Rio was still silent listening to the curses of his best friend.

"When the man she was betrothed to was still chasing her, but she preferred me over the man 6 years younger than me" Yudha said, sipping her drink.

"What's? So you're 6 years different from the man she's gonna be betrothed to?" asked Doctor Rio astonished.

"Yes the man was 19 years old, moreover he was also a Hafidz Qur'an friend of Rey."

"Well, big rival, bro!"

"Yes, let alone him still chasing the girl I like. I purposely paid people to record their conversations when they met at the Cafe. We eat first and I'll show you the video" Yudha said, then began to eat.

After they had finished eating Yudha, they took her cellphone from her pocket.

"Brother, you saw the video." Yudha then handed over her phone.

Rio then received Yudha's phone and played the video. Rio rounded his eyes when he saw the beautiful girl who was very young talking to the man in front of him. Rio shook his head as the girl said that she had no lover but already had a future husband.

"So he accepted you?"

"Yes he tried to commit to me and he said he was comfortable when he was near me and you know for yourself I want him not to go out with marriage directly."

"Well, dong bro! Your chosen girl is completely different from the other girls. You should want to marry her soon. The teenage girl you like turns out to be beautiful and adorable."

"Yes, I'm confused. My parents want me to get married at 25 and they want to have a grandchild soon."

"Hahaha you just marry the girl after she graduates High School and you continue to grant your parents' requests to have grandchildren soon."

"It's not that easy, bro" he said with a long sigh.

"meaning?" Rio was confused by Yudha's words.

"She wants to get married later after college and work."

Yudha remembered when visiting Risa, Karin said that with Risa if she later wanted to graduate college and work and get married.

"Hm... It's still a long time ago dong bro. Waiting for him to graduate from college you will be 29 years old. Especially if you wait for him to work, you can get married in your 30s. Whereas you've been in a hurry for your parents at this time to get married and give her a grandchild."

"Yes, my parents were eager to meet him. If I don't introduce you soon, my father has a girl of his choice for me. Later after he graduated High School I will immediately introduce him to my parents. Hopefully after meeting both my parents he will change his mind for me to marry without having to wait for him to finish college."

"I agree with you, bro. I hope that girl will. Keep on going with your relationship with her."

"Aamiin thanks bro."

...*****...

The night had come when Karin was in her room. She misses the atmosphere in Korea and meets her parents. In Indonesia he lives with his Father's brother. Although Risa and Karin are cousins but Risa's parents want Karin to think of her like her own parents. Even calling her name should be Mama and Papa as well as Risa. Mama Angel and Papa Kevin have told Karin's parents Papa Keynan and Mama Chintya that Karin has her own choice in choosing a partner. His parents were fine with even supporting the decision Karin took.

"If I call Papa or Mama later, grandparents know and keep wondering why my match with Dion could be void. I better just WhatsApp Mama," he said and took his phone.

📤 Carin : "Hallo Ma. Assalamualaikum says. How are Mom and Dad in Korea? Karin misses Mama. Karin actually wanted a phone but was afraid that there were grandparents next to Mama."

📥 Mama Chintya : "Wa'alaikum Greetings dear. Mama's in the same room, Papa. Video call, baby."

Karin then video calls with her Mom.

📹 Chintya : "Hallo darling... Mom's son how are you doing there?"

📹 Karin : "Sarin is fine here Ma. Karin miss Mama and Papa."

📹 Chintya: "You want to talk to Papa dear?"

📹 Keynan: "Hallo Papa's beautiful son. Now it's grown up and smart to choose a partner."

📹 Karin : "What the hell? Karin video call because miss Papa and Mama. So the question leads to that."

📹 Keynan: "And Papa knew from Kevin's brother that you were close to the Young Doctor named Yudha and canceled the matchmaking from grandparents."

📹 Karin : "Today had a reason why Pa chose Doctor Yudha over Dion. Dion first meets and confides in Rey the night that she likes another girl and cancels her match unilaterally without informing Karin. Though already have a number Karin can say directly not through Kak Rey. Lagian Dion is stiff and cold Pa. Doctor Yudha is kind and understanding. Karin is comfortable when close to him it feels stubborn."

Karin poured out her heart to her father.

📹 Keynan: "Wah Papa's beautiful son seems to have begun to wash with Doctor Yudha like."

📹 Karin : "Papa says that anyway. Papa and Mama agree not if Karin is in a relationship with Doctor Yudha? We are 7 years old."

📹 Keynan: "Papa is up to you dear. You will live it and most importantly you will be happy."

📹 Carin : "Yes Pa. What about Mama?"

Then Papa Keynan pointed his phone at his wife's face.

📹 Chintya: "Mama agrees dear, it looks like Doctor Yudha is good. Whatever your choice is that will be your future."

📹 Karin : "Doctor Yudha has never dated either and does not want to date Ma. Doctor Yudha wants to seriously marry Karin after graduating High School. But Karin wants him to graduate from college and work only marriage. What do you think Mama?"

📹 Chintya : "According to Mama you are just kind of loving. You can go to college even though you are married. You can date her after marriage. Didn't Doctor Yudha just say he'd never been together, right?"

Karin has not answered his mother's question but Papa Keynan has taken her seat.

📹 Keynan : "Today you think about your decision first. The wedding is no joke, baby. You must be ready to be born and to be. Do you want to have children soon after marriage?"

Karin gawked at the words of her father.

📹 Carin : "Not Pa. Karin has not thought about getting married let alone having children. Karin after graduation wants to focus on college and work first."

📹 Keynan : "Papa support you dear. But if for example later at any time the parents of Doctor Yudha want you to immediately marry his son you do not refuse huh son? Can't refuse the proposal because later you can be difficult to get a mate."

📹 Chintya: "Why do you talk to your own child?"

📹 Keynan : "It's already a myth in Indonesia Ma. Papa doesn't want Karin to be so difficult to mate."

📹 Karin: "Who did Mom and Papa make a fuss themselves? Oh yeah Pa how do you think about grandparents and geeks that Karin and Dion broke this matchup."

📹 Keynan: "Yes, Papa explained to them that Dion had decided to cancel this match. Oh yes, during the semester break you can go back to Korea, baby. Invite Doctor Yudha also later to Papa pass the test, he will not be the future son-in-law of Papa."

📹 Karin: "Pa, is it not a trifle to meet with Doctor Yudha?"

📹 Keynan : "Looks like no darling. Let Papa know what he really is and let him know your grandfather's grandmother."

📹 Karin : "Hmm Karin thought first yes Pa. Go home to Korea take him or not."

📹 Keynan : "Must nak. Papa is curious about the man who has liked you for a long time and wants to marry you soon."

📹 Chintya: "It's a pity we are curious about the man of your choice."

📹 Karin: "Well Karin think again to talk to him."

📹 Chintya: "Well that's dong dear."

📹 Karin: "Yaudah then it's already Ma, Pa Wassalamu'alaikum."

📹 Chintya and Keynan: "Wa'alaikum Salam."

Karin was relieved to have spoken to her parents directly through a video call.

"The semester break is two months away. Hmm I think I should tell Brother Yudha, so that he will be able to take leave in advance."
