"Mrs ... Karen." Mama Puri tried to talk.
Karen kept quiet and drove away with a blank look. Mama Puri and Kendrik continue to wonder in their hearts whether this is as bad as people who think about when to get married. Mama Puri feels guilty himself. Although she never asked Karen about marriage, she once asked her friend's child, her niece and other girls who turned 24 and above.
His intention was simply stale looking for a topic of conversation. He had no intention of judging or suppressing those people. However, it turns out that the impact is so great. She imagined whether the people she had once asked were as stressful as Karen? He's very sorry now.
There are still thousands of topics to talk about, no need to ask sensitive and personal questions. In her youth, Mama Puri did not experience the same thing because she was facilitated by God.
"Karen darling." Mama Puri spoke as softly as possible.
His daughter did not move at all.
"CHINA DAMARTYA!"
"Hoah! Shocked, Ma! What the hell is yelling at that?" Karen finally spoke. There was relief in Mama Puri's heart seeing the child respond.
He stroked his chest. "Thank you for nothing."
"What am I, Ma?" Karen is confused.
Did he not realize that he was being talked to and called? (Mama Castle).
"Mama called you, said you, but you didn't answer. Mama thought you were stressed because of the event at the breed event," said Mama Puri still while stroking her chest, relieved.
Karen's sidelining the car.
"Why stop, Ren? Would Ken be the one driving?"
Karen's face turned sad. "Aaarrrggghhh .. I'm kesel! Shame on!" Karen shouted followed by a clear circle coming out of her eyes.
He buried his face in the folds of his hands on the wheel.

At home
Her mother was grateful to have made it home safely even though her heart was almost released. Karen was driving unstable. However, he also did not want to be replaced Kendrik. Now, Karen is just sitting in the television room staring at the big screen dead. He sat on the floor leaning against the sofa. Empty look.
Mama Puri makes warm tea so that Karen more relaxed. "Drink the tea, Ren!"
"Hm ...." Karen grabbed the tea and drank it. She was a little relaxed as expected of her mother.
Mama Puri who sat on the sofa was a little relieved, but still afraid to talk to her only daughter.
Karen leaned her head to Mama Puri's feet. "Ma, how old was Mama?" With a faint tone Karen asked.
"That's not important, Ren. Mama's time is the same time you are different," he answered carefully, afraid Karen will compare with her life.
"Mama! How the fuck is that answer? I know how old Mama married. Answer the numbers."
"Egem ... Mama was 23 years old at the time of marriage."
Sure enough, Karen compared her mother's life to her own.
I'm 23 years old what the hell? Did I not have a boyfriend at that time? (Karen).
Mama Puri gave advice. "Everyone's time line is different, so don't use other people's standards. You have your own standards and line of time."
Karen took a deep breath many times as if she did not follow her mother's advice. "Kok I don't do anything, Ma? Am I less beautiful? Am I plastic surgery like the artists in the drama?"
"Hush, don't be weird. You are beautiful, a good career, school and college achievements were also good. Just patience!"
"I nerusin S2 is the same as S3 to fill the emptiness."
Find a soul mate too. Uh, that's the main thing, college side. (Karen).
"Don't!" ban Mama Puri out loud.
"Why, Ma? My mom usually supports education. It was my mom who said I was the same Kendrik had to graduate."
"If S2 is the same S3 then. Later the guy added keder if you are high school, let alone you have your own company."
Hearing that, the look on Karen's face turned sad again and almost cried. "I don't really want to go to college, Mama. I just want to spend some time looking for acquaintances."
Karen started to sob. "How do you go, Ma? Do we go to the shaman let me be given a talisman or something."
"How much more, Ren?! Can't! The sins! Just a diligent prayer, Mama also doain you continue."
"I keep praying, Mama. Comes every night but no answer has been given."
"But your college is good, work is good. Keep you focused on your company! Later if it's time, the soul mate will come."
"No want! I don't want a career! I want to take care of my husband as much as my son."
"Hish, who do you want to take care of her son?"
Karen's cry grew louder, as her mother did not understand her point. "It's my husband and my son, Ma!" karen shouted along with her increasingly becoming cry.
Wrong talking. (Mama Castle).

Night
Karen had calmed down from all her sadness and rage. He tried to think clearly and rationally.
How do you get to know new people? In my circle of friends nothing fits, so I have to find someone new. But how is it going? (Karen).
He went into Kendrik's room and opened the door wide. Although they are siblings, but their parents teach not to be alone. Or, at least do not close the door if they have to talk in the room. Kendrik was working on his college assignment on the study table.
"Ken."
"Hm ...."
"Do you have a single theme?"
"Much."
"Known!" Karen was suddenly enthusiastic.
"Sister, be aware of napa's age! My friends are on average my age, 20."
"Cih, yes, not yes. Brother level isn't there?"
"The oldest level brother who still menggampus maximum age 24. Still younger than you."
Karen just realized her age is even older than the age of the oldest active students. Of course, the student in question is the one who entered in the appropriate year, not the student of the study continuation program who is usually an employee or employee who continues his college level.
"Love doesn't look at age, Ken."
Kendrik. "Haha. Okay, let's say love doesn't look at age. Maybe your soul mate is busy studying for the graduation exam Junior High, or again busy playing superhero toys or again reading comics in the reading park."
Karen glanced at her sister in annoyance.
"If so, would you like to wait for your little soul mate, brother?"
"Yes, don't be far away either."
"That's the topic of 'love does not look at age'. If you're still thinking about the difference, it's breaking your own hypothesis" Kendrik said.
"Yes anyway. Um, do you think love should look at age?"
"Yes that. Big sister, her soul mate at least the same age. Better still older ones. But yeah don't go far too far." Kendrik seems to know more about a suitable mate than his brother.
"Well, in fact, want a young one, the same age or even older, no one is my partner."
"When I marry you first, brother?" kendrik said, seriously.
"What! You're still in college, Ken! And don't you dare step on me!"
