DAD'S CHOICE OF MATE
Like a twin brother

Today is the day I waited for_days. I finally became a student. Today was my first day in college after OPAK for three days.

I am happy to meet new friends from various regions, even from outside Sulawesi there.

I immediately contacted my mother and told her that I was fine and that I was now a university student and I told her that I now have many new friends from various regions and they are happy to be friends with me.

Mama was so happy to listen to my story, it seemed like she had managed to separate from me even if it was only a week.

I told my mom a lot about my experience while I was here.

I immediately closed my phone with my mother because my friends exclaimed that the lecturer had arrived in class. I walked to class with my new friends_, but for a moment I stopped and let the others into the room while I read the basmalah.

I flicked my right foot into the room with confidence. Before I continued my steps towards the chair, I was told by my male friend_lak to close the door so that the noise that was outside the room did not interfere with our learning activities. I sat at the front end.

At that time I was busy inserting sheets_sheets of paper in my binder book, I was the same time I had not seen my lecturer that day. While he (lecturer) who sits on the bench that has been prepared for him has also not started his class, he is still busy with his cellphone while waiting for other friends_friends.

Sometime later, when I turned my gaze forward suddenly I was surprised to see the lecturer sitting in front of it. His face was familiar to my eyes, as I had met him but when and where. I was in a state of curiosity, then,

While he was still busy staring at the names_names in the absence. I'm really curious about him, I can't wait to find out his name and origin. Some time later, he finally started his class by reading the basmalah in conjunction with greetings and introduced himself, his name is Muh. Arshad Ridwan's.

Just the name he introduced back then because he thought it was just an important name. After that he also wanted to get to know his students one by one, he only mentioned the name only and told the owner of the name to stand to mention the origin of the region, origin of the school and date of birth.

He said introducing himself was only an important name but why he told us to name the origin of our area and the origin of our school in addition to the date of birth. Thought...

Some students who have been named and mention the origin of the region, the origin of the school and also the place of his birth date. The turn of my name that I called, I stood confidently and faced my face to him, I mentioned all what my friends _friends mentioned before me.

After that I sat back down, it seemed like she was watching me as I started to introduce myself.

He was so not too focused on the introduction of other students, he just mentioned his name without him listening to the origin of the region, origin of the school and also his birth date.

It seemed like he was thinking about something, maybe what was on his mind was the same as what was on my mind. I think that it is not wrong that he is a lecturer who is none other than my own papa nephew who wants him to match with me. To be honest I did not accept the matchmaking and I never promised that after I passed S1 I would accept it immediately. The last time I met him when I finished Junior High a few years ago, he came to my house to visit my family and meet me, but after I refused he never saw him again. I thought at the time that maybe he was married, but it turned out that he never touched a woman's heart after I rejected him. He's still holding on to papa's wishes.

But I still doubt this truth, whether it's papa's niece or not. I can't confirm it either because I don't have hard evidence for it. His name alone I don't know, only his face was slightly swelled in my eyes and mind. His face is not what it used to be. Now he has grown into a cool, intelligent and Islamic lecturer. My delusion remained with him until the introduction in the room was complete.

He told me a little bit about his experience since he was in college. He as a motivator for my class friends_, because besides being cool he also likes to motivate people. His skill is what makes my friends_friends amazed by him, while I am mediocre_ordinary. I'll keep exploring about him. After two hours in my classroom, she finally came out as well.

I was curious about him, because before he came out he gave me a smile.

After college, I again contacted my mother to ask the name of the nephew of the lecturer. At that time my mother was praying adzar and happened to pick up my phone is papa, I just asked her. Papa immediately told me that his name was Arsyad who was an Australian graduate. I was shocked to hear it, and immediately told papa that he was my lecturer and that he had entered my room this afternoon. I also told papa that I had time to think that he was really papa's nephew but I was afraid of the wrong people.

Papa asks how about her, does she know you.? I said, maybe yes, because he always watched me in class and even when he wanted to leave the room he threw his smile at me, and I replied with a smile as well.

Papa seemed to be pleased to hear my story for my reunion with his nephew.

Papa really hopes that I can accept the match later. But before papa told me about it, I first told him that I wanted to go to college first, I did not want to get married quickly, and papa agreed to my request.

Papa told me to get to know his nephew more closely, but I was embarrassed when I started greeting him. Actually I want to be close to him too, but I remember the times where I rejected him. It seems like he no longer cares for me, but what a harm it is to try to get to know him more closely. My past thoughts will soon be obliterated.

His profession is currently a teacher and he has the right to teach me about various things that include the life of the campus world.

After I had a conversation_talk with papa and asked to convey my greetings to mama telling me that my brother and I are here _is fine.

A few minutes after I called papa, suddenly the phone rang again.

Hello om, good afternoon .? exclaim that penelfon.

Yes, afternoon too. This who.? Answer papa briefly.

I'm Arsyad om, do you remember me.? Ask her.?

Oh, Arsyad yes. Time of forgetting. Answer papa familiar.

How are om and aunt.?

Om okay_just fine with your appointment.

Mr. Arsyad did not immediately ask about my whereabouts now. They are busy telling me something, whether it is what. In the middle of his conversation, papa asked about his current profession, has he become a lecturer? Papa asked about it because papa wanted to make sure that it was true that he was my lecturer. Without length, Mr. Arsyad immediately told me about it to papa. Mr. Arsyad also just asked where I am now, and papa told him that I am now a student. Papa didn't tell Mr. Arsyad that I just called him and asked about him.

Without further ado, Mr. Arsyad asked me about my major and also my full name to make sure that I was really his student. Papa says that I'm in the English education department my full name is Princess Anindia Hasan. Mr. Arsyad thinks that it is not wrong again if the previous one is me and so is the mind of papa.

At that time they had known the truth, but they were still both covering it up. Papa told Mr. Arsyad to meet me sometime and also told him to help my brother take care of me during my college days. Mr. Arsyad politely agreed to papa's request. Mr. Arsyad also asked for my phone number with papa on the grounds that he could easily find me.
