The Matchmaker Competition

CHAPTER 9

"Before Vira gets married mom wants to see you marry Dira. Mama's old hope mama's just the same you, son."

"But Dira is not married yet, ma. There are many things that are still being pursued."

"How much are you Dira? 25 Years. It's time to get married. If you continue to pursue your ambitions, you will miss the train. What do you think, Feri." Mama Dewi asked her eldest son's opinion.

"It's true said mom. You should learn from what happened to Meyra, my wife. If only when pregnant she was not preoccupied with work affairs. Maybe I can still feel like a husband and father. You know, Mey it's about her ambitious job. At that time, I was also not strict with Mey, ma, because I thought that as long as what was done was positive and did not make him wandering it was not a problem. But it turns out I was wrong, he forgot to think about his health until he got covid and died with the baby.

And you want your own happiness."

Dira went upstairs to calm down. The decision of his mother finding himself a partner was very disturbing. He could have picked the guy he liked, the problem is he hasn't found him yet. A heavy sigh sounded from his thin lip cavity.

"Well, how's it going, Yu?" Dira called Ayu his best friend.

"You're patient, Ra. I'm sure there's a way out. What your mom did because she loves you. Believe me, no parent wants to see their child hard." Bujuk Ayu's.

Dira was reluctant to confide in Ayu. He understands Ayu or Eka already have their own lives. But he was also confused as to whose story. His choice fell on Ayu. Because Ayu has no children so his busyness is not as much as Eka. Why not talk to Delia. Almost one knows Delia rarely communicates with herself. Whether it's the other one, surely he never heard the latest news from his best friend.

While breathing the cool night air on the balcony of his house. Dira shuts down his casual communication with Ayu. His gaze is still towards the device, it feels like talking to Ayu has not found a solution. The second dingan is heard again, Dira exerts a face when she finds out who the caller is.

Long she responds to the ringing of the phone that continues to sing.

Eventually the screen dimmed, then the screen turned off and locked. Dira also did not want to serve the phone. And put it in his pants pocket. In his breath deep. It felt like the problem was squeezing the burden on his head.

"I just don't like you being close to that guy" Arjuna said as he returned home from the office earlier this afternoon.

"Why?"

"Yes, don't like it. I've considered you, Eka and Delia like my own sister. Especially me, Ayu, you and Feri have grown up together since childhood. So it's natural, dong if I ..."

"Sister Feri alone my own brother did not forbid me. Lah Juna kok...."

Dira got off from Juna's car and preferred to look for another transport.

Dira breathed heavily. Juna's change in attitude towards her lately, is still a question for her. Because the young man who was 3 years old above himself was classified as cute. Juna was only a man who busied himself for his loyalty to Delia. Because everyone knows that Juna and Delia love each other. Dira also knew that Delia supported family rules that wanted her child to focus on college.

"Don't daydream!" sound surprised.

"Ngagetin!" Dira scrunched his chest.

"That's why I said, don't daydream at night. Later wewe gombel."

"Hahaha .. sok nakutin, but who used to be the most afraid." Reply Dira.

"Dira, can something not be?"

"If you ask Delia the same as me. My answer does not know! My sister can call him. He said love died, but his days were not brave."

"You haven't answered my question!" sahut Arjuna's.

"Kan brother hasn't been nanya, right."

"okay-okay. I'll give you one question? Miss Medhira, if there's a guy who wants to move on because of a girl who's been around for almost a year. Do men have to approach other girls."

Dira just pursed his lips hearing Arjuna's question. His hands continued to scratch his head, though not too itchy.

"Comm .. How huh? depends on the guy. He wants to really move on or just run away. If my advice is to mending the guy himself first, rather than someone getting hurt."

"Oh, so. Thanks for the advice, beautiful."

Blushes

Dira's face reddened like a tomato when praised Arjuna.

"Sister Emang Delia during that time no telling sister." Arjuna nodded slowly.

"Or It's just brother's excuse"

"Dira, I ....."

"Sister, I'm called mama!" Dira leaves the balcony without hearing Arjuna's words.

I just want to say to you, Dira. If I start falling in love with you.
