one sentence from Papa was able to make me cry hysterically. Almost both my eyeballs came out. ". Whahuh? A wedding? I'm the same old mas-mas? I looked at Arsen with a horrified look. Oh, my God.. How can it be?
***
Papa nodded steadily. ".Yes, you and Arsen have been betrothed since childhood. Papa and Om Joseph promised each other that they would marry you when you were twenty-five."
".Are you kidding me, Daddy?"
Jesus, god! My head again felt dizzy seven circumference. My throat itched, until finally there was an unexpected event like this.
"oooooooo!"
I managed to spill all my stomach contents towards Arsen's shirt. Everyone immediately suffered a panic attack. Without exception Arsen. Just as the man was about to get up and wanted to dodge, a second vomit reappeared.
"oooooooo!"
The yellow liquid and the smell of alcohol make dirty Arsen pants. I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand while sighing in relief.
Hah, it tastes so good this stomach, finally the nausea that since yesterday wrapped around my stomach due to most drinking alcohol can come out too.
I glanced in amusement when I saw Arsen's tense face. ".I'm sorry.." I said without mercy while burping loudly, and,
---
You've really embarrassed Papa, Anne! How did you vomit in front of Arsen?"
Papa walked back and forth, rubbing his face in frustration before looking at me with maximum wrath. Ever since the Arsenes' return, Papa has been attacking me with a barrage of anger.
".what else do you want? the vomit came out on its own, really. That's Anne's head and stomach are really sick again, Pa." I relaxed in self-defense.
occasionally burping due to too pervasive hand movements Mama who so reliably massaged my neck with wind oil.
".But at least keep your attitude in front of our guest of honor, Anne! And one more thing, why are you wearing clothes like that? Papa told you to wear polite clothes!" Papa pointed his finger, pointing cleanly at my clothes from above the bottom with a look of dislike.
I put on a face. ".Pa.... Arsen was Papa's guest of honor, not Anne. Anne did not know anyone. Then, why if Anne wears gini-rich clothes? Importantly, Anne was comfortable with her clothes. No way dong, Anne used kebaya everything to meet her family old mas-mas!"
Papa shook his waist, looking at me as if I were an enemy, not his son. ".Since when did you become this rebellious and rebellious child, Anne?"
"Since Arsen's family came to our house" I answered steadily. ",Pa, Anne didn't want to marry the old man!"
".Watch what you say, Anne!" almost Papa acted rashly wanting to throw a slap across my cheek - until I closed my eyes in fear.
".Can you slap Anne for Arsen?" I looked at Papa with a pus. "Now explain to Anne, why should Anne marry Arsen? What was Arsen's greatness until Papa so defended her to be her husband Anne?"
Papa sighed furiously, trying to calm down for a moment, before returning to his voice. ".Because Arsen is the ideal husband of women, you have to believe in the choice of Mama and Papa because we know the Arsen family very well."
Truly, I was stunned to hear Papa's illogical explanation. How could Papa conclude that Arsen was the dream husband of the women.If it is true, of course I am very crazy about the old mas-mas. To me, Arsen was just an old mas-mas who happened to be liked by my parents because he was the son of a good friend of Papa and Mama. Already, that's all. No more than less.
".Anne still doesn't want to marry Arsen, please, don't force Anne, Pa." I pleaded from the bottom of my heart. A glimpse of the sound of sobbing came from my lips.
Why is life so heavy? even more so than the graduation issue.
This time Papa's breath looked tired. ".All right, then it's your turn to love Papa the reason. Why did Papa have to cancel your match with Arsen?"
My eyes immediately sparkled, as if getting a green light to break out of this matchmaking trap. ".Because Anne doesn't know or love Arsen at all."
".Therefore you must give Arsen the opportunity to get to know you further, An. How can love grow if from the beginning you have given rejection like this."
I went back to looking for a better reason. ".Pa, Anne still has to focus on the thesis. If for example we get married later, Anne's college is getting less complicated dong."
".Classical reason, An. Papa is sure you can divide your time between college and getting married. Arsen is smart after all. You can ask Arsen for help in completing your thesis."
He said he was told to find a reason. In fact, all the reasons I mentioned earlier were immediately rebutted by Papa. piye iki?
I started to catch my breath. For a long time my brain could err thinking of another reason. ".Anne didn't want a bloated stomach while still holding student status."
Mama immediately chuckled amusedly. ".You can negotiate with Arsen, make the child postponed first.don't rush to play straight through dong."
I patted the eel, feeling stupid myself. That's not what Anne meant, Ma! I want to hit my head against the wall.
".Okay fine! I'm completely out of my mind, this is the last idea I've had. ".Actually, Anne has a boyfriend! so Anne's boyfriend is Anne's future husband."
Mom and Dad looked at each other in shock. The atmosphere turned into silence and awkward instantly.
".Then introduce your girlfriend to us. Papa give you two days. If your chosen candidate doesn't show up within the allotted time, inevitably you have to marry Arsen. that's a last resort for your future Anne."
This was the last sentence from Papa before he turned around and left me still frozen like a statue.
Who is the man I should introduce to my parents. Ando? Yes, only her name was the only thing that came to my mind. Because he's my girlfriend.
