The flash back

"What would he be, if he still enjoyed playing around like that. She is no longer a little girl. He's 21 years old. I was confused to advise the child," upset Lady Helena Van Kemmers said to her husband.

"It's all because you're spoiling him too much. You never were so hard on him. You always say what she wants" said Mrs Helena again.

"From childhood until now he has never changed. He was never disciplined. Always learning."

"Don't do that, you know how Noura is capable of. He's not as smart as Sophia or Benjamin. He also could not be too pressed. All this time I didn't spoil him. I just let him grow and develop as he is. Letting him know the things he likes. Noura cannot be forced" said Mr Adrianus Van Kemmers.

"Sophia's also not so smart actually. But he's diligent and tenacious. Three times he tried the medical school entrance exam, after three failed attempts. And he finally passed the selection as well right? that's proof that diligent and tenacious will definitely produce results. It was not in vain to educate Sophia. He is much more diligent, more obedient and more ambitious," said Mrs Helena. The 47-year-old woman who still looked beautiful was biting her lips withholding emotions.

"Don't compare them. And don't be too hard on Noura. After all, he is still our son. You know how he is. The harder we are on him, the more rebellious he can be. So let him do the things he likes" said Mr Adrianus.

"If he gets bored, he will definitely stop himself. All this time I never forced my will on Noura. I never forced him to pursue algebra or earth science. Because I know, Noura won't like it."

"But look how he behaves. He was just playing in the garden all day. His clothes were dirty, his face dull and sweaty. I asked him to stay home. I intend to call the sewing teacher so that she can learn to sew clothes," Madam Helena snorted as she shook her head.

"I also didn't know that she had secretly slipped outside and decided to follow you to the estate," still with an irritated face, Madame Helena let out a long sigh. It seems that he is very tired of facing the attitude of his second child.

"There are many who praise Noura's beauty. Every time I attended a banquet or at a church activity, many asked. Like Mrs Bertha, Mr Frans Winhern's wife repeatedly asked Noura. Even he said that Frankie, his shy eldest son was in love half-dead with Noura" said Mrs Helena, half-whispering.

"Mrs Bertha asked me to match them, what do you think?" ask Mrs Helena.

"What's? betrothal them?"

"Yes, I think that's a good idea. Frankie's a good young man. He obeyed worship. He also worked hard. And not by matching them will be very good for the development of our plantation business. Frankie works on the farm. He manages thousands of acres of rubber plantations belonging to his family. And if they get married, it does not rule out the possibility that our rubber plantations will also grow. What say?" ask Mrs Helena.

Sir Adrianus was silent. He took a glass of water and began to gulp it until it ran out. It seemed like his wife's words instantly made her throat feel dry.

"You didn't answer my question? what say?" Madam Helena repeated her question.

"I don't know. All is up to Noura" replied Mr. Adrian flatly.

"How about we arrange a meeting for them? we invite Mr. Frans' family to dinner together" Mrs Helena suggested.

"We have to tell Noura that Frankie wants to get to know her more. And I asked him, what would he think if Frankie wanted to propose to him? we have to give her a sense that she'll be very happy if she marries Frankie. We have to convince her that Frankie is the right husband-to-be for her,"

"Why are you in a hurry? you should ask Noura first and let him give his own judgment according to his point of view. Never oppose any decision he makes. We must respect whatever Noura's decision is. Never force her to things she doesn't necessarily like. Especially for the affairs of a soul mate," the look on the face of Mr. Adrianus looks serious. It seemed that he did not agree with the way his wife who was so enthusiastic wanted to match Noura.

"You never agree with me. You spoil him too much. Just think about it! what would he be if it were still like this. Every day just playing around in the garden, painting, horseback riding. He doesn't want to learn. Not continuing school. The only right choice for her is to get married. By getting married, she will have a lot of fun. Inevitably, he will be forced to think about how to take care of the household, take care of the husband and also the child," said Mrs Helena again.

Sir Adrianus just sighed. It was not that he disagreed with his wife's advice and opinion. It's just, he thinks marrying Noura to Frankie is not the right way. Feeling said that Noura would not want to be betrothed to Frankie. He knows very well how the character and character of his favorite child. Noura would definitely refuse.

Seriate.
