The Terror of the Rapist

Not Thinking of a Mate

Maybe because of that Melani did not want to think about a soul mate. He's not ready for a bond. But it may also be Melani's reluctance to establish a special relationship with men because she doesn't want to be distracted by the affair. She is building her dream of becoming a successful woman. He wants to raise the degree of his family's life that has fallen since the departure of the father. Melani is not selfish thinking about her pleasure.

As the oldest child Melani required the obligation to be the backbone of the family. He wanted to think about his family's interests first rather than his own. After all he also wanted to enjoy this solitude while still young. He wants to build a career first. Happy family. That's the most important thing. The name of the soul mate already exists to arrange. If the time comes, it will come, too, so is his belief.

Although sometimes some of his friends make fun of him who has not had a girlfriend at an adult age. Even some of his friends are engaged and married, some even have children. If you meet them always ask, where's your boyfriend? Not married yet? When married? Melani could only answer with a smile. Just wait for the date, Melani replied inwardly.

Thanks to her perseverance in work and a fairly good achievement Melani finally managed to climb the career path a step further. He is now an assistant manager in charge of finance. The salary he received also increased several times. Melani get a variety of work benefits that are quite decent. With his salary, Melani can buy the favorite things of his mother and sisters. He can also buy his own needs such as new clothes, cosmetics, bags, shoes, and also cellphones to support his daily activities.

Melani is happy to have been able to live independently and help the needs of her family life. It can be said that Melani has now succeeded in achieving what is her hope and ideals. Melani was not satisfied. He didn't want to stop here. He wants to continue to improve his career to a higher level. The trust given by the boss to him is best utilized to work harder and score achievements. Melani dedicated her life to work. Not infrequently he has to overtime and bring his work home to get maximum results.

Seeing how busy and hard Melani works makes Bu Marni's heart fret too. He was worried Melani fell ill and stressed because of the pressure of such a heavy job. He then tried to remind his daughter not to be too nervous at work.

“Do you not feel tired of working hard day and night? Remember your health, Mel. If you are too sick later you can fall ill!” so said Ms. Marni reminded.

“I don't feel tired, Mom. I can take care of my health even though the work I do is very much. I deliberately work harder to support my career,” said Melani assured.

“But what you get now is more than enough, Mel. Some of the salary you give to Mom can meet our needs, finance your sister's school, and other needs. So you don't have to work too hard anymore, which is normal!”

“No, Mom. There are still many things I can't do. I want to buy a house for Mom, I also want to send Nina and Doni to college. Soon Nina wants an exam and goes to university. That costs a lot, Mom. Therefore I must prepare it from now.”

“But that doesn't mean you should ignore your interests and your future right, Mel?”

“Soal school Nina and Doni mom still able to take care of it. You don't have to worry. Your father's pension could be used to pay for their school. Don't think about it too much. I just want you to be able to think about your interests and your future. You're an adult, Mel. As an adult, you know where you are going. You will get married and live a married life. Well, you better prepare yourself for that need. You can save for your household needs later,” said Bu Marni explained.

“Ah, Mother... How to talk about marriage everything?” Melani smiled wryly. “I haven't thought in that direction, Mom. My girlfriend doesn't have one yet, how do you think about marriage?”

“Everything, you should be able to divide your time well. Don't just think about work. How men want to approach you, if you are too busy and serious about work. Take your time to hang out outside. Let me know a lot of people. I do not want you to be too busy with work to ignore the interests of your own life. You can be a spinster and do not marry because you never get along with men,” said Ms Marni full of worries.

“Ah, Mom! Don't worry so much, dong. I also hang out in my office, Mom. Even in the office many of his bachelor men. Some of them even have a crush on me. But I have to think more carefully and wisely. For now I don't want to be in a relationship too close to men. I still want to think about this family first. Later if my ideals have been achieved, just thinking about marriage. Believe, Mom. When the time comes, I will definitely get a soul mate. Cook anyway, a girl as beautiful as me will not be able to mate. Yes, no, Ma?” melani said confidently, trying to convince her mother.

Miss Marni is shocked. He actually believed in his son's faith. Since childhood Melani has shown a sense of responsibility and obligation well. He is able to meet all the expectations that parents want. He can also lead and protect his younger siblings. The departure of the father who was actually so close to Melani was able to forge himself into a strong and independent woman. Melani is able to show her ability to take care of everything well. He was a role model for his brothers.

But somehow, as his mother there is a little worry in the heart of Miss Marni. Maybe this is something natural from a mother's instincts. Everywhere a mother wants the best in her children. Expecting happiness to surround his son's life. It's just that, should he then block what his son's choices and wills are? It also seems to be too authoritarian and arbitrary. He must be fair and wise to the child. If Melani feels happy and happy with what has become the determination and desire of her heart, why should she be forced to choose the path she does not want?

Miss Marni let out a long sigh just to throw out the sorrow in her heart. He tried to realize this. Maybe his way of thinking is still too old-fashioned and old-fashioned. She must give Melani full confidence to make her own life choices. Because Melani herself has shown her maturity and maturity!
