The Colorful Work World
Ch. Uswa 160

‘Why until now still do not meet ya, the girl who matches me?’ I said in my heart while lying on the bed.

After the rejection of the previous three girls, I had approached two new women. They are named Rani and Lisa. Both were introduced from the same source, Bule Yeni. He said these girls were looking for a future husband as a companion to life. But both of them rejected me with the same answer, wanting to focus on finding work first he said.

I've been surprised by a word of rejection like this. Sure enough if I approach them sultan or have a handsome face, maybe their answer will be different. When I approached them, my work was still okay. As an IT team in a private company. With salaries above UMR, it should be the allure of women seeking a stable economy.

Unfortunately fate said otherwise, the two of them rejected me only after meeting me once. They didn't try PDKT just yet, refusing me to know them any further. The girl side also has no signs of wanting to test myself first and directly reject me just like that. This made me confused with the lack of response from them.

Lucky I have a female expert, my friends in the Rohis High School exculp group. Those who give an explanation that it is actually a subtle rejection. Girls like this actually want to refuse but disinclined. Therefore, they usually wait for the boys to understand the code themselves not to approach them again. I could only sigh when I heard this. How delicious are they? I am tired of deketin but they do not give a definite answer and just hang it. Maybe this is also similar to what is called ghosting?

But I'm still grateful, they've given the code at the beginning. No morotin my treasures used to keep leaving me for granted. I'm sure there's still a hand on top for this. So that I was given a direct sign when I only met once.

I met Rani just like the woman's case before. They met at a restaurant and were surrounded by the whole family. Though from his parents already green light is that if his son nyari candidates. Even their children have different incomes. I guess, no wonder there's miscommunication in a family like this. It also happens often in my own family. No wonder it happens in other families.

Maybe he really wants to have his parents' grandchildren. But his own son is still ogah-ogahan and wants to find work first. I also, if not for the insistence of my parents, might go along with the ogah-ogahan as well.

Unlike Rani, I met Lisa directly stop by her house. Lisa's parents were friends with Bule Yeni, so we all came to their house. But because the conversation was dominated by parents, Lisa and I did not have time to have a conversation long enough.

At the time, I wasn't too focused on talking to them. But enjoy the work they do. Because Lisa's parents have an effort to make a pempek. So even though I couldn't get her heart, but I was full when I went to her house.

Lisa didn't call me again after that meeting. Even the pempek order I asked him for was not taken care of at all. He refused once if I wanted to stop by his house again, for a thousand reasons. Seeing this sign, I immediately did not continue the PDKT process to him. It's a waste of time.

“Loh, why don't you continue approaching Lisa?” Ask Bule Yeti's husband to me. I explained why I did this. Because I've prepared the answers when I get questions like this.

But like most parents, they don't believe my reasons and only give judgments as good as their own. It is he who is blamed for being less persistent to pursue the girl. I could only smile and take the advice in my right ear and out my left ear. It was only a few weeks after that, Bule Yeni who had asked Lissa directly explained the real reason.

“Yes nak Ray. Said Lisa was still willing to focus on work and still did not want to build household” That's the answer given by Lisa's side. Exactly as I thought.

Yes, that's the real reason. Just a figment of the thumb. Already understand me, if there are girls giving rejection like that. Just like in school, who said he wanted to focus on learning first and did not want to date. T*i once cat. But I was grateful not to get the rejection to the extreme that it affected my mental health. Not a few men who become changed mental health after experiencing rejection like this. I hope this makes me a better person. ‘What does not make die will make you stronger’. I believe enough in this word.

‘Loh? what's the matter? how did everyone discuss marriage?’ Because many channels talk about this. I tried to watch some of those videos.

Finished watching, a feeling of confidence arose in my heart. ‘It seems, it's about time I started to get more serious about finding a partner.’ This determination was directly told to my friends in the high school expulsion group. Who knows, someone has contacts.

But his name is mate, we don't know where he came from. This time, there is a new girl introduced by one of the rented residents I take care of.

“De, already have a wife yet?” Ask my hired man, Mr. Chen. It has a rather short body face with white skin. Om this one has a clothing business and the price is quite cheap. I used to go there to buy some clothes.

“Not a, this is also still looking for candidates.”

Hearing my words, Om Chen immediately smiled widely and introduced his bangs to me.

“It's no Ponakan. Find candidates also de. Graduated with him, his religion is also I guarantee good. Pesantren. Want to know me?”

“By a, it fits perfectly. there is a contact number not?”

This conversation was the beginning of my long journey with Uswa. The woman introduced by Om Chen. After getting the number, I again improved my PDKT skills significantly. There are many theories and simulations that I do to prepare a proper first impression that can captivate him. Start I send him a regular chat and start slowly little by little getting to know this woman further.

Time passed, until at last. I invited Uswa to meet for the first time. With trembling hands, I tried to ask her out via chat.

“Uswa, will Saturday be busy? Want to have lunch with me?” I said politely after saying my greetings of course.

[By my brother, where do you want to meet?] Reply to me.

I started to talk about the details of my meeting with this woman. Of course as a man, I had to go to pick him up at home. Meet with his parents. Should I introduce myself to the future in-laws.  All the meeting up plans are also I'm putting together.

Not felt, the time of meeting with Uswa has arrived. I have learned a lot of theories. The best clothes I've worn for this first meeting. The rest, I can only try as hard as possible to get Uswa interested in me. Hopefully, I won't get treatment like I did. How will my first date go later? I was impatient and excited to find out too.
