"Mom, please..he's still a boy why should he be betrothed to me? I know for myself I already have a lover" Arlan said.
"How do I refuse Mr. Suherman's request, he's been so kind to our family without even asking for the return for all the good they've given. Just this time he asked for something with our family, which is to keep his unruly child to be betrothed to you, maybe he is not wayward anymore if later married," explained Jannah, Arlan's mother.
"He's still a little girl, but he's not fit to get married" Arlan said.
"He's in 12th grade. Even yesterday I did school graduation."
"He should have continued his studies instead of being asked to marry me."
"Suherman just wants his son to change" replied Jannah.
"It's not like this!" kekeh Arlan's.
"What kind of love are you until you refuse Mom's request!" ketus Jannah's.
"He's a good man, ma'am, 3 months ago we officially made it. I promised her I'd marry her soon."
"Make a decision without consideration!" grouse Jannah.
"Don't you ask me to get married soon. Mother said, want to immediately hold a grandchild," said Arlan lowered his tone or rather still in persuasion mode.
"But not with him!"
"Mother, the heart cannot be forced" said Arlan subtly.
"The bottom line is you can't refuse a request from Mr. Suherman."
"That means that if Mr. Suherman cancels his request, will Mom immediately approve of my relationship with Tika?" asked Arlan enthusiastically.
"Depends!" jannah answered and walked into her room.
Arlan smiled brightly, if his mother behaved like that it meant that he put everything in her.
...****************...
"Your mother didn't tell me that. He even agreed to my request" said the man who was enjoying lunch with Arlan.
"Mom felt bad to refuse a request from Father because Father was too good to our family. I was able to go to college too thanks to my father's help. The economy of our family rose also because of the Father" said Arlan.
"So, how, sir, what's going on about this matchmaking?"
Suherman remained silent looking at Arlan.
"I feel like I've clicked with you, even though I just met you in person" Suherman said.
Arlan and Suherman were only able to meet face to face because Suherman for one month was in Singapore to complete his work. Matchmaking requests are also only via phone.
Arlan smiled at Suherman's praise, "the praise of the Father seems like a similar fruit to me," said Arlan made Suherman widen his smile.
"The first time I offered Gea an arranged marriage, she refused but after meeting you several times she instead wanted to hasten her marriage. However, it is a pity that I have to hear rejection from you because it turns out you already have a lover," Suherman paused his sentence.
"Later to talk back to my wife about the continuation of your matchmaking" he continued.
Arlan nodded slowly, although his heart was not relieved to wait for certainty from Suherman.
"Gea has a long future, sir, isn't it a pity that he doesn't continue his studies?"
"I'm more sorry if he went to college but his morals are not better than before. We're almost desperate. There are many ways to make Gea a good boy. Even Gea was included in the boarding school, but still like that, he was expelled from the cottage because it was considered to have a negative influence on his friends. Our last step, yes this, is to marry her off" Suherman said.
Arlan.
"You don't worry, I'll talk back to my wife" Suherman repeated.
"Sorry, I'm going first. Thanks for the lunch invitation. Next time I'll invite you, said Suherman.
Arlan nodded back.
"Be careful on the road sir" Arlan said later.
'It was Gea's persuasion to cancel the match but failed. Hopefully this time, talk directly with Mr. Suherman matchmaking plan can be thwarted, Arlan's inner.
