Why Should I Pariban?!
Self-deprecation

"Do you want to talk about it?" sea asked defiantly, his hands folded on his chest, staking out the movements of this rival.

"I've heard everything from Dean. I know you were betrothed, and neither of you agreed to the match. So, I just wanted to say that whenever I'm gonna stay by Dean's side, fight for our love, and you, just do your part to solve this!" exclaim Ferdi with a fierce look. Maybe he's not all Batak tribe in general, but to get Dean, he dares to do anything.

That was all Ferdi needed to say to Sea, after he finished he left leaving the man who was gawking at him. Sea acknowledges Ferdi's bravery, however Dean is his cousin, he also hopes that the girl will get a good husband candidate later, after their engagement ends and according to Sea, he hopes that the girl will get a good husband, Ferdi was the right guy although it would be difficult for the guy to convince both Dean's parents but it was the matter of the two of them and Sea, the most uncaring human being on the face of this earth simply did not want to think about it.

"Old sorry, I had to take the assignment to the lecturer's room," said Dean greeting Ferdi who was waiting for him in the parking lot. Today they plan to go to the bookstore to find reference books that can be made to the bibliography for Ferdi's thesis.

"It's not papa" he said weakly. He had indeed not been in the mood since this morning, precisely after talking to Sea. Finding his rival so seemingly perfect made Ferdi feel defeated before fighting.

Sea has everything a man needs to propose to Dean, who has special requirements from his parents.

The man is a businessman who after being sought out by Ferdi through Go*ogle is a successful entrepreneur who is currently very calculated in the business world of this country. He also has an athletic body, a handsome face and certainly rich and the most important thing is that he has Batak blood which however Ferdi does try to keep it still will not get it.

"Kok you limp times, why? Who hurt you?" dean asked to put the back of his hand on Ferdi's forehead, of course he was worried about his lover that if Ferdi was not well they should not go to the bookstore today.

"I'm fine, it's just that I can't keep in my heart the upset that's been created since this morning" he said weakly.

"What's the problem? Tell me, don't we promise to always be open in the face of any problem?" follow Dean who's starting to guess.

"I met your pariban, we talked for a while," he answered briefly staring intently at Dean's face, wanting to see the girl's expression. The girl was surprised, not expecting that she would meet her victim.

"Well what did he tell you?" dean asked worriedly, he was afraid that Sea would say something no-no, because Dean knew how upset the man's nature was, even the man had a new hobby, that's watching Dean die pissed.

"She didn't say, anything just introduce herself as your fiancee, and you know it's in front of Tomi as well as Shelter. I was embarrassed, forced to ask him to speak with four eyes," replied Ferdi who was still upset to this day considering the man's actions.

Only he'd know how the two friends were interrogating him all the way to the classroom.

"Yes, I was upset last time. Kreak (Sok jago/Songong) times seems to be him," said Lindung who hoped to teach Sea a lesson.

So that the business is not longer Ferdi just silence does not want to answer the questions of his two best friends. He diverts by saying that the man is just joking and he is Dean's cousin.

Seeing Ferdi's reaction to not speaking up, Tommy and Hedge finally realized that their friend was not wanting to discuss further about the man they met in the campus parking lot.

"I'm sorry Fer, didn't know I was still on this campus. Honestly, he was driving me, and that was because he was forced. When I got to college, I left him in the parking lot, I went to the department. If I knew you'd meet maybe I'd forced him to come home first" Dean said.

"Already, I told him that I will not back down even though he may be your fiance, but as long as your heart is there for me then I will fight for our relationship," ferdi replied forcing his lips to smile, he did not want to make Dean overwhelmed by the circumstances.

Due to an additional course, Dean refused to return home to take Sea to Jakarta, and his father and mother were the ones who drove him to the airport.

After being predicted by him that they were definitely at the airport at this time, only Dean returned home quietly.

"You didn't go in first? My father and mother ran Sea to the airport, there was only Rade," Dean said, offering Ferdi a stopover. They went to the bookstore, but only briefly because Ferdi was not in the mood to find some books that would be used as a source to support his script, invited Dean to go home so he could rest.

"Other times, honey, my head hurts a little. I'm going to bed. On Sunday night I came here" he said, refusing Dean's offer to stop by the girl's house.

Dean was still standing in front of his house, looking at Ferdi's back away. He hopes the man is stronger because he is confident that there will be more challenges they will face in order to fight for the love they can have together.

Dean would call Sea later and scold the man for saying useless things to Ferdi.

It's natural that Ferdi's mood is falling apart today. If he is also in the position of Ferdi, of course, his feelings become unpleasant and not calm. The thing that annoyed Dean the most was why Sea had to say who he was in front of Ferdi and his friends. After all, he himself disliked Dean, he could have said that he was his cousin who happened to drive him to campus instead of saying that he was Dean's pariban and fiancee.

"Review you, Sea! Look, I'll be scolding you! How dare you humiliate Ferdi in front of his friends," Dean swore. It was certain that if the man was in front of him at this time, then he had slapped the man's cheek to avenge the pain and shame felt by Ferdi.
