High School Bridal Romance
Concerns of Old People
The acceptance of Mira to study in Sydney, Australia is certainly happy news for both parents. But deep down in their hearts were worries too. Given Australia is quite far, transcontinental and transoceanic. To get to Sydney also requires air travel for a dozen hours. For that reason, the Narawangsa family and the Agastya family gathered together that afternoon.
"Why is Jeng so moody?" mama Sara asked her bestie who was none other than Mama Marsha.
"This loh ... Mira was accepted to study abroad. As a mom, I am very happy. Proud of Mira's effort and hard work. But I am also confused. Australia is far away, knowing that life is free. Not far from the lives of people in Europe or America. I'm just worried about free association there."
The concern for Mama Marsha is that Mira could be affected by free association in Australia. Culturally, it is very different. Indonesian citizens who still uphold the East adab, but not for countries that understand liberal and free their citizens.
"Yes, yes .. let alone Mira chick yah, so more worried," replied Mama Sara.
"True Jeng ... Mira chick, and in Jakarta alone are so advanced, Mira just seneng school and at home. Played late into the night with his friends also never. So, I'm pretty worried about Mira."
Hearing the curses from Marsha, slowly Mr. Belva also voiced. There is a solution that only if you want to be heard and done by both parties.
"There is a solution if we want to run it" said Mr. Belva there.
"What solution?" ask Abraham.
"You don't remember that when Elkan and Mira were kids, the four of us made a deal together to get them both. Maybe this is the right time. After all, Elkan was more than old enough to get married. So is 18-year-old Mira" Papa Belva said.
"Married while they were still in High School?" ask Marsha.
"Yes .. true. Let them marry. Later when Mira is studying in Australia, Elkan can take care of Mira. Don't worry. There is a solution" replied Mr. Belva.
"I think so too ... Isn't it too soon?" ask Papa Abraham there.
Papa Belva quickly shook his head, "We say it well to our children. Just get married first. In the eyes of religion and country. Marriage without reception is also. They don't have to live together, we're neighbors. Mira can stay here, or Elkan can stay there. For a mutual agreement, don't think about it. That's for sure Elkan can take care of Mira."
Honestly, it's hard to decide. But on the one hand, Papa Abraham was convinced that this was a good way. Rather than later Mira fell into free association and not in the correct corridor. Elkan was a very reliable young man. In addition, Papa Abraham and Mama Marsha are also convinced that Elkan is still in love with Mira.
"We're on duty .. You convince Mira, and we'll convince Elkan. The wedding was held in Bogor. In our villa. For marriage papers, we will arrange" said Mr. Belva.
Then Abraham glanced at Mr. Belva, "Sorry, but if it was just a serial marriage, we would not. There is no good, it is precisely Mira who can be the aggrieved party," replied Papa Abraham.
As a Papa, Papa Abraham only wanted the best for his daughter. Married legally and legally in this country. Of course, there will be a corridor that both parents will emphasize on their second marriage.
"No ... official wedding. After all, the kids are old enough. Simplest. I have learned from my past mistakes, Bram .. I married my wife in series, and I know how my wife suffered at that time. So, Elkan and Evan would never do it" replied Mr. Belva.
Slowly Papa Abraham nodded his head, "Alright .. later we will convey to Mira. I hope Mira can agree. Although I was worried because my daughter was in the spirit of learning and pursuing her dream," Papa Abraham replied.
"Married does not require Mira to cut off her wings, Bram .. she will still fly high to reach all her dreams and ideals. I will continue to support Mira, including her desire to take S2 later. Elkan will definitely support him," replied Papa Belva.
Yes, it seems that these worries and worries will end and the solution they have got. To take care of Mira, it is better to marry Elkan and Mira. Both of them knew each other very well. In the eyes of the two old men, only Elkan was worthy to be able to take care of Mira. Moreover, there are promises and agreements that they made together when Elkan and Mira were young first, that they will match their children when they grow up.
Maybe this is the right time. Time to fulfill the promise that was once made together. Promise to bind friendship into family. Wedding Romance in High School will color the lives of Elkan and Mira immediately.
