High School Bridal Romance
Persuading Mira

The night after dinner, Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham invite Mira to chat together. This time it was an important talk that they had to talk together. Specifically, about what both families have planned.

"Mrs ... Papa, what's wrong? Why does everything look tense? Did Mira make a mistake?" ask Mira.

When it was the face of Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham look tense, Mira guessed it could have been a mistake. Until, Mama and Papa now look tense and want to scold him.

"Just want to talk to you, baby," replied Mama Marsha.

"Yes, Sha .. We want to talk to you. Please listen to Papa and Mama first well, after that you can express your opinion. It's just, Mama and Papa have a good purpose for you," said Papa Abraham there.

Mira who listened to her Papa so seriously finally nodded her head slowly, "Hmm, yes .. alright, Pa."

"That Mira ... Mama and Papa are very proud because you managed to get a college and a scholarship to Australia. It's just, we're worried Nak .. there the association is free. We don't want anything to happen to our son. Therefore, Mama and Papa want to marry you, Mira .. if anyone takes care of you out there is better. Surely you will not regret, because the one who will marry you is a man who loves you," said Papa Abraham.

"Married?"

Mira strongly does not believe that she has just turned 18, but will be married to a man. Though according to Mira's own beliefs, he can take care of himself when in Australia later. He would not defame his parents.

"Yes, Mira .. there liquor, drugs, even sex outside marriage is very prevalent. Living abroad doesn't mean you're different. Maintain your good personality, and don't follow along. Let someone take care of you. That's the goal of both Mama and Papa" Mama Marsha added.

"Why Ma? Later that man will tell Mira to quit college and have a child how? Mira doesn't want to."

Mira was afraid and did not want if until finally the man would force not to go to school and instead have children. In Mira's plans now, she still wants to pursue her dreams. Although not from among business people, but Mira wants to become a successful businessman one day. For this reason, he took a Business study program in Australia.

"Will not be Mira .. we know the man well. For sure he and his parents will support you one hundred percent to learn. So, take it easy" replied Mama Marsha.

Mira seemed to sigh. Apparently this is the wish of his parents. Asking her to get married so someone will look after her in Australia.

"Who is Ma? Mira wants to be like Papa. The man who has always been great for Mira since childhood," she replied.

Yes, indeed from a small figure the greatest man in Mira's life is his father. It was Papa Abraham who gave love to himself, Marvel, and his mother. A man who works hard to meet the needs of his family. Papa Abraham always allocates special funds for Mira and Marvel's education.

"Maybe he'll be like your Papa" replied Mama Marsha.

Papa Abraham smiled there, "Cowok your idol hasn't changed huh Mira? Still like the one like Papa? Even when you were little, Papa was often fierce," he replied.

Mira quickly shook her head, "Papa is not fierce. It was a form of affection and attention of a Papa. It's Papa's upbringing, Mira can reap now after it's big."

"Thank you Mira .. You are a big boy. I can understand that education is not always gentle, but sometimes hard and firm so that children learn more vigorously and self-disciplined" said Papa Abraham.

Presumably if the candidate is in accordance with his criteria, Mira will not refuse. Even with the condition that he is allowed to go to high school, it seems that it is enough. As a poor student, Mira's thinking is logical and realistic. Now it is not the time for women to only get basic education. Women can flap their wings, fly into space. Therefore, Mira wants to achieve what she wants through education.

"You already know her" said Mama Marsha with a smile.

Mira seemed to frown. He wondered who exactly he knew. Remembering the truth now there are not many figures of men who he knows.

"Seriously Ma?" ask Mira later.

"Yes, you know Mira .. She loves you too" replied Papa Abraham.

"Who? Tell dong, Pa... don't make Mira curious," he replied.

Then Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham appear to give the code and want to mention one name together.

"Get it."

"Ha, Brother Elkan? Mama and Papa are serious?"

Mira felt her body shudder in horror, was it true that the man she would be betrothed to was Elkan. Yes, Elkan Agastya. The figure he had known for most of his life, only they separated for five years when Elkan decided to go to school in Singapore. Elkan Agastya, the figure he always called the brother and also his friend played since childhood. Should I really be Elkan Agastya?

"Yes, seriously ... Love you, Mira" Mama Marsha said.

Hearing the words of love from Elkan, Mira increasingly shuddered in horror. The girl imagined her husband was her best friend in class. The world feels so cramped for Mira.

"You love Elkan too, right? El's brother is you?" ask Papa Abraham later.

Mira looked down her face. Confused as well, indeed he is actually affectionate with Elkan, but with awkwardness and a relationship that is no longer familiar this makes him feel confused with his own feelings.

"Mama and Papa are sure about Brother El?" tanyakanya.

"Yes, sure .. you will be part of the good Agastya family, Mira," replied Mama Marsha.

"Within't tomorrow, is it Ma?" tanyakanya.

"No, Semester 1 vacation time only. Married officially, Mira .. we refuse to marry under our hands" replied Mama Marsha again.

Presumably Mira must accept if she marries Elkan. Even now the feelings of both are not revealed. Presumably it's better there's Elkan who will take care of him later.
