Marrying the Old Virgin
Don't Know So Don't Dear

The light rain in the morning made Alisha pull back her blanket. In the midst of his consciousness and sleep he saw the clockwork of the wall still leading to the number four. Even the dawn adhan alarm had not been heard in the girl's ears.

But suddenly he thought of something, which made his eyes blink quickly. He took the phone from beside his pillow and saw the date on the calendar indicating that today was the day he did not want to wait for. Yes, today is his birthday. And it's true that he didn't want to wait for this day.

This year Alisha entered a critical age for most women, thirty years old. How not, the shadow of his thirty birthday made him shudder. He imagined one thing that would certainly be experienced, namely getting the predicate of a spinster.

It was not without reason that Alisha thought about it. For thirty years she lived in this world, even though Alisha had never felt the name of love together, let alone dating. All she experienced was one-sided love that ended tragically and painfully.

Once in the first grade in junior high school, she liked her upperclassman who was in the third grade. He saw her while she was doing extracurricular scouts. Actually Alisha only admired her, just like a little girl in general. But at that time he chose the wrong story. He told a friend in his neighborhood, who incidentally was a classmate of the upperclassman he liked. Of course it didn't take long for his idol's upperclassman to hear his outpouring of heart.

One day Alisha heard from her neighborhood friend that the idol's upperclassman rejected her outright. It wasn't too painful because he didn't know her. But even more hurt the little girl, the idol rejected her just because of her physical beauty, short and brown-skinned deckil typical of children who like to play hot.

It was so attached to Alisha's memory that she was thirty years old. Since then, she has never felt beautiful. Moreover, his desire to enter the organization when SMP he should forget because of the selection of members based on physical. The trauma and sight he carried throughout his teenage years. She became a girl who never believed in herself let alone felt beautiful.

The strength of his vision had changed when he managed to become a member of the osis while sitting in the second grade of high school. Because at that time his voting system was based on tests. But his love life is still the same, he lost against his own physique. Every man he likes, ends up away when he knows the look of the girl who likes him.

All the events in her past make Alisha more insecure. Even as her age had entered the number thirty, the insecure level of the girl had become increasingly higher. In addition to his physical that is not as good as others, he is also not highly educated. Alisha only has a height of 155 centimeters, her face and body have never done treatment, plus she is only a high school graduate.

The only thing he can be proud of is his ability to make cakes. He has that ability not naturally, but self-taught. Combined with his marketing skills, he managed to sell his products through online.

And now Alisha has started a small catering business. Although he still sells his products online, but his business developed quite rapidly at that time. Until finally because of a disaster, the catering must be out of business. Worry again, Alisha must bear her business debt of three hundred million.

Now her life is changing, not getting happier but getting sadder. She went bankrupt at a critical age, the title of virgin she got, her never-ending love story, and now another problem arises when her mother asks Alisha to get married.

"Sir, do you have no intention of getting married?" ask her mother gently.

"If you want to, Buk. But have not met the same soul mate" replied Alisha which remains the same day by day.

And his mother's reply will remain the same from day to day, that may his soul mate come soon so that his mother will soon fondle grandchildren at his old age.

The same thing that repeated after his mother prayed for him was Alisha who always imagined all her problems. He often imagined, what kind of man would be willing to marry her later. What kind of man wants to marry a girl who only has flaws in her.

That's what makes Alisha reluctant to think about marriage at a time. But he was lucky to have a friend who always accompanied him in every he needed it.

Just like any other day, today even his best friend promised to accompany him shopping for materials. Although the rain in the morning makes him lazy, he must still fulfill his obligation to do the cake order.

After reading a message from her best friend Nadia, Alisha rushes out of the house. With a wry smile as usual they greeted each other. That day Alisha intends to take Nadia out to eat because her best friend charges a birthday tax. He also wanted to tell her about that day.

"Nad, today eat out yuk!"

"Wiihh..birthday girl, okay where are we going?" nadia answered excitedly.

They chose the place they used to go. Because in addition to the comfortable place, the price is also still in the pocket of Alisha that began to dry.

After shopping, they arrived at a small restaurant with the concept of angkringan typical of Java. Alisha deliberately chose a place away from other customers because she wanted to pour out her heart.

"This is Al, why so much mojok?" gerutu Nadia's.

"I want to tell you, here it is!" ngeyel.

Finally Nadia obeyed Alisha because as she said, today Alisha is Birthday Girl.

"Not a girl, but a woman" Alisha said.

"Dih, like me" said Nadia.

Although they are friends, but they always fight or sneer and sneer at each other. It was common and their food was everyday.

"Nad, I was told to marry my mother" he said suddenly.

Nadia who was used to hearing that, no longer felt shocked but actually clapped her hands.

"Good doongg, that's what you want" he exclaimed as he sipped his coffee.

"Yes, but you know I don't have a boyfriend yet." Alisha's voice started to muffle.

"..and again, my age is this. You also know how I am, does anyone want to marry a girl like me?"

Nadia stops her eating and starts to listen to Alisha seriously. Nadia knows all about her best friend's problems. He also knows Alisha's anxiety about her age. In fact, he will be the one who advances the front if there are people who call Alisha as a spinster.

"Yes, I'll help you find it" he replied origin, he tried to set the mood of Alisha so as not to go down quickly.

And sure enough, Nadia always managed to make Alisha back to maintain her mood.
