Forced Marriage With Duda
This matchmaking

Laura was at the dinner table, having dinner with her parents. The atmosphere was so calm, there was only the sound of the clanking of spoons dancing on a plate. Laura ate so well.

"How did you go with Arsa? It must have been fun, especially Arsa is very handsome."

Laura glared, her appetite gone from hearing that name.

"Whose children are troubled. I'm tired of carrying Josh."

"You can't do that, they'll be your children and you'll be their mother."

"Mama's not kidding?"

"Of course not, why are you joking. Mom and dad hope you're married to Arsa."

"Pa, ma, I'm the same she's only known for 2 days. I also do not have the same feeling, not papa used to say will not interfere about my love? I can find my own men."

"You don't remember what your love story was like? 3 Your ex is not all right. One likes to ask for money, one asks to buy assets, one wants to live in an apartment with you."

"That was the time I didn't understand love, now I understand."

Laura has three exes, each of whom has a not so valuable story. Something's not right, everything he says is true. The ex is all matre, usually a matre girl. But now the man is matre. At that time he bought shares to his second ex.

In retrospect, he was a fool, whatever his girlfriend asked him to do. If it's revealed again he must be embarrassed, it's so stupid of him. Going back to the initial topic of both his parents wanting him to be a mother, Glen and Josh continued. He wants to marry a single man.

"You want to marry Arsa? He is so sincere with you."

"No ma! I was too young to get married. I want to focus on my career and I will find my own partner, of course, who has no children."

"Don't do that, Arsa's the man in charge. The proof is he's taken care of his two children to date without the help of his ex-wife."

"But pa, Laura also has a future that papa and mama shouldn't interfere with."

"Laura, we know what's best for you. According to the same mama and papa, we will calm down if you release with Arsa. Not with anyone else."

"You won't know what's best for Laura. Come on, I'll go to the room." Laura slammed her spoon onto her plate and left the dining room. The mood changed drastically.

Laura was already in the room, she turned on the television in a loud voice and she sat on the edge of her bed. His eyes stared ahead with a mouth that mumbled continuously. He did not like his parents to interfere with his future affairs.

He can have what's best for him, this is his life. Not their lives, she can't and won't be able to be a mother. Not to mention taking care of Arsa if for example he was married to Arsa. He was afraid of being compared to Arsa's ex-wife later.

Not that he wants to marry Arsa, that's a big mistake. Moreover, he has a desire not to have children first after marriage. You could say he wants to be happy with his partner without children first. But now it's as if his dream was destroyed by Arsa. He saw his mother enter his room.

"Laura, are you angry with mom and dad?"

"No, who said it?"

"Darling, mom and dad did this just for you. So that we can calmly release you with your partner. There are many things in this world that you don't understand."

"Ma, how many times has Laura explained that Laura does not want to be with Arsa. Please don't force me."

"Good arts, you say it like this because you don't know him well. If you already know you will feel the love that Arsa gives you so sincerely."

"What did Arsa love so much that mom and dad forced me to stay with him?"

"Originally you know, son. Arsa proved to us her sincerity all along. Even he's protecting you from afar, papa and mama are getting older. You don't forget that it took us a long time to get you into your belly."

"Ma, Laura doesn't want to be forced like this. Poor Glen and Josh later, they deserve a better mother. Not like me."

Laura is so special in this family, her parents struggled for years so that she could be present in her womb. If asked if he regrets being born here, the answer is no. He has no regrets at all. Rejecting their requests is a bad thing.

But he also has a future he has to fight for. He still wants to work and fight for his career, he wants to focus on the world that makes him comfortable. Not what makes him depressed, along with Arsa for example. He has no feelings for her at all.

Arsa was inside his house, rather he was pensive on the balcony of his room. She had just fought to get Laura, but she had given up. Laura's words really hurt her. Though from the first he was reluctant to hear the words of people who he thought were not important.

But if Laura was any more different, every word of hers always went into her heart. It was like she couldn't get Laura. Is it because he is married and has children that Laura does not want with him? God, he can't blame Josh and Glen for his life.

"Arsa, how was your meeting with that woman?" Bian, Arsa's first brother came to Arsa here.

"As you might imagine, he refused blatantly. I just want to back off to get him." Arsa looked at Bian with a tired look.

"It's only been one day that you met him, you've been willing to give up. Struggles him for your children, they are innocent and entitled to be happy."

"I want to be like that too, but if I don't want to do I have to force him in such a way?"

"Love comes because it's used to it, don't be tired of approaching it. You believe your love is acceptable to him. Don't hesitate, women will melt with sincere men."

"But Laura doesn't want to be the same guy who has kids. I'm really confused how to get her heart."

"Make her comfortable, brother can't help you anything."

Arsa was so close to his two brothers, so if there was a problem he ran straight to them. His age is said to be ripe, he is 30 years old. But they were all so considerate, moreover he had a trauma in the past related to his ex-wife.

Essentially her life is surrounded by family, those who help and strengthen her in raising Glen and Josh. All the trials of life he went through with them, had to pretend to be okay in front of his two children. It was very difficult, let alone being a mother and father all at once.

"Arsa, if she doesn't want to. Don't force it, but it doesn't hurt to try. I'm sure you can do this for Glen and Josh."

Arsa nodded slowly. "I'm going to do this for them, I'm not going to give up this fast to get Laura."

"Everyone supports you with her, and so does the woman's family. Brother will support you from afar, that's brother's promise."

Laura will be looking for work today, already bored she's at home and doing nothing. Actually, he was confused about where to apply, because he did not find a job vacancy at all. So he just walked by the side of the road while looking at the electricity pole or wall, who knows there is a job brochure.

Tired, he stopped by the roadside. He used the bus because he was lazy to bring a car. He was not a slacker, but just did not want to bring a car. But if the road always feels tired, if tired innate want to be angry.

"Laura!"

There was a car that stopped in front of Laura and called out Laura's name. Knowing who was in the car made Laura roll her eyes lazy, her three best friends were in this one car. Do they not care about her who is hot looking for work?

"Well, what about walking? Where's your car going?"

"Sold, he's been fired."

"Much of your talk." Laura rolled her eyes lazily, then she walked up to the car and opened the back door.

"Open the door, I'm going in." Laura's asking for help, she's the circus. But the same friends opened the door. Laura sat in the back seat and the car drove away from here.

"Pull the boy, why? Not getting a job? Or a poor 2-day bosen?"

"I've sipped your mouth for a long time. Make me badmood." Laura was really upset with her three best friends who were minus this morals.

"Yeah, the same old widower can't be badmood."

"Crazy, I forgot that he deket ma duda."

"You're cheating on me?!"

Laura glared at her friends, they were always flirting with her. Moreover, they know he is close to Arsa, also his own fault telling them. Moreover, they used to know he was most anti with the name of a child.

But now both of his parents are even matching him with a widower! He was getting ridiculed by them. He did not forget that they never refused to help himself to leave the house. Because of that time he walked with Arsa for the first time.

"Ceritain dong, how did you meet the widower."

"Do you want a story?" The three of them nodded immediately.

"Find me a job vacancy, if necessary without this test it is. After that I told you about the widow."

"LO CRAZY! YOU THINK FINDING A JOB IS EASY?!" yell them together.
