Childhood Match
Choosing a Good Date and Day

Shortly after being summoned by his beloved sister, Lintang finally came out of his room. He walked down the stairs to the living room. He saw that all his family members and the Gendhis family were gathering. He felt that there was something his family wanted to talk about, so that the two families gathered in one room.

Lintang walked towards Pak Ratno and Bu Sari to greet and respectfully kissed the hands of both of Gendhis parents. After that, he sat among a group of people who loved him so much.

"Pakne. We are from now on Pakne." said Bu Parti as if she could not wait to break the news.

"Alright, because everything has been collected, we start now" said Mr. Argo seriously.

Both Lintang, Gendhis, as well as the two old men of Gendhis began to be curious. What is it? So suddenly Mr. Argo invited them tonight suddenly.

"Pak Ratno and Bu Sari, I as the head of the family here, want to convey some things, the first... Alhamdulillah. Just waiting to be inaugurated by Mr. President, then Lintang will officially bear the title of TNI AD. This is all inseparable from the support also do'a Mr. Ratno family. That's why we are so grateful." said Mr. Argo.

Mr. Ratno also all those present at the place nodded their heads.

"Both... God willing next month will be inaugurated, and after that... Latitude will be assigned to eastern Indonesia. Actually from our beginning as parents, did not allow Lintang to become a TNI, one of the reasons is yes we will not be able if our child has to go far to fulfill his duties. But thanks to the support, understanding, as well as the spirit of your daughter, namely Gendhis.ahirnya our eyes and insights as if open to be able to give full support to Latitude." continued Mr. Argo.

"And the third, because we feel that our obligation to support Lintang to study has been completed, there is only one obligation we have not fulfilled, namely to marry Lintang to Gendhis." that's the core of the conversation that actually wanted to be conveyed by Mr. Argo.

Everyone was surprised to hear Mr. Argo, especially Lintang also Gendhis. The difference is, if the parents of Gendhis, they are happy and seem impatient to see the happiest day in the life of his daughter. While Lintang is also Gendhis, they do not know how to respond to Pak Argo's decision, because they see the condition of their relationship that is not as harmonious as before.

"Was... Mr Ratno and Ms Sari object to our decision? Maybe it's too soon, but according to our glasses, tomorrow when Lintang is officially on duty outside the province, Gendhis can already come with Lintang to accompany him." asked Mr. Argo.

Gendhis was aghast, not knowing what he was going to do. He could not simply expose the Lintang affair in front of the two families without definitive proof.

Lintang was no less surprised to hear his father's decision without telling him first. Lintang understands very well the nature of his father who is impossible to debate. It used to be that when Lintang wanted to continue his studies at Akmil, Mr. Argo was the first person to oppose Lintang. With the help of Gendhis, the heart of Mr. Argo could be destroyed. And at this time, Lintang may ask the help of Gendhis umpteenth time in order to cancel their marriage.

However, if Lintang let the marriage happen, then there will be a marriage with an expired love. The latitude is also unlikely to leave Gabby after what they did that night at Gabby's house.

After a moment of silence, Mr. Ratno finally said,

"I, as the father of Gendhis, leave all the decisions in the hands of Gendhis alone Mr. Argo, because they will be the marriage." replied Mr. Argo as if giving a fresh breeze to Lintang.

"Well...how is Nduk... You don't mind, if your marriage is accelerated?" asked Mr. Argo to Gendhis who was sitting with his face down.

"Sir Ratno need not worry, Gendhis has certainly agreed, and we as a family also do not mind if their marriage is accelerated."

Bu Sari's words immediately made Lintang discouraged to refuse the marriage. Though he had just hoped that Lintang would delay the marriage even longer, so that he could more freely establish a relationship with Gabby.

Gendhis lips seemed to feel like they did not know what to say to hear the answer from his mother. He felt he had to wait for the right time and gather strong evidence to dismantle the Latitude affair. But until when? Is it until they get married that Genthis will get proof of that? All those thoughts are raging in an uncertain direction.

Mr. Argo resumed his words.

"Well, if you agree, then we will have a wedding tomorrow on Sunday, March 27, 2022. There is still some time to prepare for the event. And as for the cost, Mr. Ratno and Ms. Sari have nothing to worry about. Let us take care of everything. And we just make one party location, considering our house is just across the street." explained Mr. Argo.

Everyone present looked surprised. Some are surprised because they are happy but some are surprised because a loveless marriage will be implemented as soon as possible.

"Well Mr. Argo, we agreed that day as the wedding day of Lintang with Gendhis" replied Mr. Ratno.

The Lintang family and the Gendhis family were very happy and seemed impatient to see the day of the union of the two families.

The latitude that had been silent a thousand languages, finally spoke up,

"Mr... Gendhis is now in college and has just entered the fifth semester, should we not wait for our wedding until Gendhis graduates first?" Latitude reasoned.

"Nang... Isn't it papa, isn't Gendhis still in college, but you're married? After you are on duty later, Genphis can move to a campus close to where you work. So Gendhis lecture will not be interrupted. A lot of people are in college, but married?" this time Miss Lintang's mother's party spoke. He could no longer wait to bring Gendish home as a son-in-law.

Lintang also gave up. Finally, he followed his parents' desire to marry Gendhis. Gabby's problem, let it be his business, he thought to himself.

*****

Next... we wait together ya co-ordinationaa.., is Gendhis so married to Lintang? Or is there someone who insists on canceling the marriage?
