High School Bridal Romance
Serious Talks
"Mira ..., Elkan, are you asleep?"
Apparently the one who was knocking on the door was Papa Abraham. If this afternoon, Papa Abraham knocked on the car window, now Papa Abraham came and knocked on the door. Nevertheless, Mira tried to act ordinary. At least his father was also once young, certainly can understand his son.
"Pa," said Mira by opening the door.
"Ah, Papa thinks you're asleep. There's Mama Sara and Papa Belva outside. You meet for a moment, well" said Papa Abraham.
Mira looked confused. It's 21:00 now. Not usually, Mama Sara and Papa Belva visited her house when it was night. Therefore, Mira and Elkan immediately came out of the room together. Right, in the living room already gathered Mama Sara and Papa Belva.
"You guys haven't slept? Or are we the one who's bothering you two?" ask Mama Sara.
"Not sleeping yet, Ma," replied Mira.
Elkan nodded his head as well. Now in the living room, there are Mira and Elkan, Mama Sara and Papa Belva, as well as Mama Marsha and Papa Abraham. Everyone gathered in the Narawangsa family room. In the opinion of Elkan and Mira, if the parents have gathered this way, there will usually be serious talks.
"Sorry yeah, interrupting both of you time. However, Mama and Papa want to talk something .. Given you have done UAN, and soon graduation and you will fly to Australia. It is undeniable that there is a turmoil of love for young people like you. Previously, there was a discourse from Papa Bram, that Mira has high dreams and ideals. So, what about you two?"
Straightly and firmly Mama Sara explained everything. His children are still young, but it is undeniable that both of them must also have a side of the turmoil of young love. So, it is better for parents to accompany children to organize the future and also see a marriage relationship.
"Mama, look ... Mira still wants to go to college and achieve her dreams. But isn't there a way to prevent pregnancy?" tanyakanya.
"So, you want to postpone it first?" ask Mama Sara again.
"Yes" answered Mira.
"What about you yourself, El?" Now it's Mama Marsha's turn to question Elkan. It feels less if you only ask one child and the other is not questioned. Therefore, Mama Marsha asked Elkan.
"The same, Ma .. after all, to have offspring requires careful preparation. Physical, mental, and financial preparation. In age and income, Elkan felt capable. However, mentally, Elkan was not ready. Elkan was just 20 years old. It's too early to be a Papa" he replied.
The answer Elkan gave sounded so logical. He felt that he was ready for age, financially ready. But mentally Elkan was not ready. 20 Years old is too early to change the role of a Papa.
Papa Abraham and Papa Belva who listened to Elkan's answer seemed to nod their heads. However, in his heart, they were proud of Elkan. As a young boy, but Elkan also took into account physiological, psychic, and financial. Not rash in making decisions.
"Yes, Pa .. delaying having children does not mean delaying that one, does Pa?" ask Elkan with a smile.
Really, the character of this smiling Elkan is inversely proportional to his Papa whose appearance is calm and cool. While Elkan was relaxed, friendly, and smiling a lot. Even though his brother only, has a character that is 11-12 with Papa Belva. Elkan was different.
"You are," Papa Belva replied with a glance at Elkan.
"Kan Elkan was honest," he replied.
"Well, now we continue our discussion. How much longer can you hold? UAN just finished. Do you want a ceremony?" ask Mama Sara.
"Why did Mama ask that?" reply Elkan.
"That's because now you seem to be more comfortable staying here, El. I don't want to split with Mira. Before all this continued, without any prevention. Better, mapped first what you want to achieve and do," Papa Belva replied firmly.
"Seat pass," replied Mira.
"In Australia" replied Elkan.
Apparently both Mira and Elkan had their own answers. A speck of smiles rose on the faces of the old men who were there.
"So you want to finish graduation or in Australia?" ask Mama Sara again.
"In Australia alone, Ma," replied Elkan.
"How's Mira?" mama Sara asked, now looking at Mira.
"Mira come with El, Ma. However, before going to Australia, accompany Mira to install contraception yes, Ma," he replied.
"Alright .. so, we make a decision together. Mutual guard. Also don't mess around. Mama and Papa are not in the mix. However, you are still very young, still need to be guided. In the end, it's this household that runs you both" said Mama Sara.
Elkan and Mira both nodded their heads. They know very well that parents still put limits too because they are young. Still need to be guided. Certainly when they are getting older, accustomed to doing problem solving or problem solving, parents must slowly start to lose their hands. Fully entrusts the housewife to Elkan and Mira.
