TRAPPED IN FORBIDDEN DESIRES

2. By-By

The college holidays are over. I can't wait to meet my beloved who's been away for a week to Malang. Every day in the city, Delano showed me his cell phone shots.

For a week there almost every tourist place he visited. Starting from tours pick apples, dragon fruit, guava fruit, to strawberry fruit. They also stopped by a vegetable garden tour that was planted by hydroponics.

Delano also showed me paragliding tours, where someone who dares to be tall, will play a parachute that will be assisted by experts. And the last time Delano showed me a tour of a transport museum that holds a lot of wealth in it. The museum houses dozens of antique cars and motorcycles. And still another historical relic.

"By the way you've brought me to campus, have you?" delano said across the phone.

Than souvenirs. I'd rather meet my handsome boyfriend. It's nothing, while in the heat of the moment, a day feels not met for a year.

"I don't want one. Anyway a lot," my lips deliberately made a front nozzle, so that my action is known by him.

"Yes. I bought a couple shirt for us. We'll wear it later, okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." I answered with a smile on my lips.

Like Delano promised me. Arriving from the city of Malang, my girlfriend immediately came to my house to give me souvenirs. Not only me, mom, dad and grandma are also part of the. So one plus in my eyes. She not only loves me, but also loves my family.

As per the agreed promise, the day changed Delano and I went to the campus using a couple shirt that he bought from the city of Malang. Glad my heart is today, because everyone made us the center of attention.

"My mother and grandmother said thank you. He said I hope you graduate with good grades, have a good career, and quickly apply for me" I said.

"really? it's great to have the green light from your family. You take it easy, I am also the intention of young marriage. If you graduate and get a good job, I'll apply for you right away,"

Delano's words are like the winds of heaven to me. They always ring in my ears, so I sometimes have trouble sleeping.

7 Months have passed. Right now I'm setting up my style in front of the camera. At the moment we are wearing toga uniforms, because today is our day at graduation. A smile rose from our lips, because our long wait was over. After today we will go to an even more extreme stage, where our diplomas will begin to enter the places where we can be successful.

I am quite proud, despite only graduating with satisfactory predicate. Different from me, different from my boyfriend. I'm so proud to have him. Besides being handsome and perfect in my view, he is also smart-brained. Delano graduated cumlaude.

For the first time I met my girlfriend's family. Delano has only one sister who is still in high school.

"That's pretty. What's yourname?"

The woman who asked me for my name was the mother who gave birth to Delano. She looks so beautiful, she looks younger than her age. Asked like that, of course my speech was made as smooth as possible, so that my future-in-law was impressed with me.

"Carenina aunty." My answer was with my best smile.

"Mama's ghost candidate," said Delano who made me wrong.

"You're this. Look, Caren's embarrassed. Are your parents not present?" aunt Vienna asked me again.

"coming. But first go home, because there's another job." My answer.

"We're going to the photo studio? let's make a memento" said aunty Vienna.

"Alright aunt. Caren's coming." My answer.

We also headed to the photo studio to capture the rare moment. There were a few photo sessions we did, and the last one was my photo session with Delano.

"Now you have graduated. It is time for you to struggle to find work. After getting a job, if you can not long date. To avoid things you don't want,"

It was my heart that flowered when I heard the words of the aunt of Vienna who seemed to have given us the green light.

"Why? I can't wait to hold my grandchild?" delano asked the Vienna aunt.

"of course. My mom wants a lot of grandchildren. You're only two mama's children, plus Carenina's only child right?"

"I-Yes aunty." Answer's clumsy.

"Mama take it easy. Later Ano will make a lot, so that you can mama's house," said Delano.

That was how it was during the day our conversation was very warm. The conversation lasted until we had lunch together at one of the padang restaurants. I feel very comfortable and no longer awkward being in the middle of the Delano family.

After lunch together, they took me home despite not coming inside and getting acquainted with my family. But I'm glad they didn't come in either. I'm afraid my mom and Grandma are asking a lot of questions, and I want to end up talking about my marriage to Delano.

*****

One month looking for work, Delano got a work call at one of the bona fide companies. I feel so proud of him. While I'm still waiting for a work call I didn't get.

My pride in Delano grew rapidly, when three months of work suddenly he was promoted to a manager. While I still haven't got any calls even though I've spread almost 30 cv in every famous company.

"Babies. As I promised, I wanted to apply for you after I got a good job. I don't want to put it off anymore, because mommy wants a ghost,"

Delano held both my hands. The proposal was very sweet, because he took me to dinner at one of the famous cafes.

"But I haven't worked. While your career is on the rise. Aren't you ashamed of having a successful unemployed wife?" I asked with a gloomy face.

"You're my ribs, not my spine. The wife should be at home, while the husband is able to provide."

Delano's answer really moved me. I didn't think she really loved me that much, at least that's what I thought.

"All right, I'm gonna talk about this with my parents" I said.

"I can't wait to live with you. I bought a house for us too. Yes even if only in simple housing, but good enough for us to take shelter."

"Have you bought a house?" my many.

"Yes. I want after marriage, we move into a new house." Reply Delano

Of course I grew excited to hear Delano's words. At least I can avoid things that are not wanted. For example, a dispute between in-laws and daughter-in-laws. Or a quarrel with sister-in-law. When I got home, I wasted no more time. I told my family about good nian Delano who wanted to officially propose to me.
