Love Lara
9.Application part 2.
Serving in the interior, it takes patience and openness to the public who are still lay with the law that is applied by the government, as well as here who have a tradition of marrying children of age,which is completely contrary to the law
"My disciples are getting fewer and fewer days" said love, when we met at the sea saris shop when the same time we went home from work
"Why?", I wondered
"My daughter's students were flat on marriage, I became concerned, I was still young once married" said love.
"That's the trouble, if the tradition is attached" I said
I remember, how many cases of early marriage have to end in divorce, and the number of childbirth deaths is also very high.
"Sir, I came home first yes, very good luck" said love
I had not yet moved from my seat, I remembered the word love just now.
As a teacher, he should be concerned about the condition of his students who have to drop out of school for the sake of arranged marriages, but many are also not due to matchmaking factors but due to promiscuity.

[Please get back to Toraja soon, there's something very important] fill my mother's message that suddenly told me to go home
[Can't be tomorrow ma'am, love will have to leave first] I reply
[Yes son, then] said mother
I'm worried, don't do anything in Toraja, I don't usually have the importance of calling me.
"Why all of a sudden when the permission is ma'am, the children will be near the semester" said the principal, when I asked for leave
"I don't know either, sir, because my mother didn't tell me why" I replied.
"Then, the teacher of love can go home, but please come home soon" said the principal.
I also packed my clothes, just a few pieces of clothing, then I called my brother to inform me of my sudden return
"Kok arrived so in love, did mom get sick?', asked sister lara
"Come on, sister, I'm just worried about mom being so sick" I said
"No one proposes to you for love" said lara
"Ahh, that can't be brother, I'm an adult" I said again in disbelief
"Yes, love, be careful on the road yes, titip greetings to mother" said sister lara
*******
From my place my duty to Toraja only takes 3 hours to arrive in Toraja before Azan dhuhur in kumandangkan.
"Thank God you finally came too son" said the mother, welcoming me
He hugged me with his longing and he sobbed sobs in my arms
"Good thing the principal wanted to give the ma'am permission, because the semester is near" I said
I immediately took a shower and changed clothes, after which I ate.
"Love, come here son, I want to talk to you something" said the mother
I looked into my mother's face, which seemed like it was going to say something very important
"What do you want to say?", I asked
"Love, do you remember Daniel, right?" said the mother
I flinched, my feelings began to say if I would be betrothed.
"Of course ma'am, Daniel is my cousin's brother, he was the son of my late father" I said reassuringly
"She just got home from sailing" said the mother
"Then the problem is ma'am, it is only natural that if Daniel comes home, there will be his parents" I said
I started to be unhappy and caught a bad shake in my opinion.
"Love, Daniel proposed to you, because according to your father's message, you've been in a match since childhood" said the mother
"No ma'am, love does not want to be matched" I said firmly
"Love don't embarrass mother son, mother has received it" said mother, her eyes are reddened
"Why not ask for approval from love" ucspku
As soon as it starts to feel bad for my heart, I really have fallen in trouble.
"Love think again son" said the mother
"I don't have to think of anything that I think doesn't fit my conscience, ma'am", I said
**********
"Love, do you remember me?" said a man standing straight in front of me
I looked at him in wonder, at this time my cousin Daniel, it felt like the daniel was short, fat and black, now in front of me, an athletic figure, a very handsome face and clean skin
"Daniel, are you?", I was amazed by the current figure of Daniel.
"You are intelligent love and still too beautiful, making me unable to go to another heart" said Daniel, with the seduction of her dark island.
"Gombal, mostly adventurous from heart to heart, that's why you're getting smarter at seducing" I said
"I swear, I've never been in love, I always thought of you who was apparently betrothed to me since we were kids" Daniel said
"Daniel, don't be so narrow-minded, mending we find another soul mate so that our family is more widespread" I said
"Basar songong this guy, he's out of stock" I said in my heart
"Please don't let me down" pinta daniel
His eyes looked at me really, really, it seemed he was expecting me to accept his proposal
******
Meanwhile, Lara looks less work spirit he always remembered a love that returned suddenly to Toraja.
"Kok keep quiet ra, you seem to have a problem?", asked Susandi who happens to be his desk next to my desk.
"Love suddenly returned home Toraja sand, I was worried that he would be betrothed by his parents", I said
"Your thoughts are very shortsighted bro, when yes people are as independent as love would be betrothed, even if he received the matchmaking, there are still many girls waiting for you lara" said susandi
But susandi chirping I did not ignore, I focused more on Silva who continued to observe me from afar, when I looked, he pura averted his eyes, when I pura pura menggihnya, then his gaze pointed at me.
"Silva why yes, from earlier seeing me, the gaze is strange again" I said in my heart
my mind wandered back to Toraja again, where my heart was there.
"So I'm sorry, I can't resist my family's desire to marry my cousin" she said
It was as if he was standing in front of me, wearing a white slayer shirt
"You're not kidding, are you love?" I said
"No brother, I really do" said love, then he moved away from me
"Cintaaaaa,waituu!", I shouted
But love is getting away and lost in the fog
"Laraaaa!".a pat on my shoulder made me realize, apparently I was dreaming in broad daylight, when I felt like I was not sleeping.
"Love, what exactly happened to you?", I murmured
***********
"Love how, do you think son?", asked the mother again
But I remained silent, I chose not to speak up, it was really a situation that I could not say was fine.
"Mom only wants what's best for you, son" said mom
"Daniel is a pretty established young man, he can make you happy" said the mother
"That's not necessarily mom, happiness is not measured by maturity, because it's happy without having a lot of material" I said
"Remember son, obey the message of your late father" said the mother
***********
I walk down the street with the crowd in Toraja that shows its unique culture, many foreign tourists who are confusing perpetuate the moment by taking pictures.
"Love, you're here too" said daniel
He seems to be in this place too.
"Yes niel, I have to go back to the place of duty again" I said
"Then what about my proposal of love, I want your certainty", insists daniel
"Give me a chance, Daniel" said
"Why wait if your intention is to accept my proposal, that's a reason that doesn't make sense to me" said daniel
He just left me.
********
"Where is love going?", asked the mother, when she saw me in the morning was ready
"Love must, soon return ma'am, my permission is past 1 day" I said
"How about Daniel, does he know your return" said the mother
"It's mom" I replied succinctly.
Easy to daniel, reduce his intention to marry me.
"Love, I won't let you go without giving me reassurance" Daniel said
He held my hand strong
"Please niel, sick!", I said
"Give me some attention" said Daniel .
"Surely, I don't want to accept you niel, I don't love you!", I said loudly
Plakk!!
One slap landed on my cheek from a woman who had been gentle and affectionate towards me all along
"Mother", I said in shock, I held a sore pipe
"Don't call me mother again love, go!!", mother kicked me out
Spontaneously my feet stepped out of the house, continuing to walk to the highway and stopping the car towards the area where I was assigned as a teacher .
My life felt empty, and perhaps the last time I could be in the land above the beloved clouds.
