Why Should I Pariban?!
Have no choice
"Thank you, who knows the handsome son of the name," said brother Roma, the son of Mr. Hotman's younger brother
This time they gathered at the house of the second sister of his father because today it was their turn to be visited by the namboru Uli.
"What Roma says, accept it. Namboru must love you, Dean," said Sarma, son of his father.
When it comes to compactness that the brothers Dean admitted his father's family is very compact, especially when the opung Doli (grandfather) and the opung Boru (grandmother) died, their brotherhood rope was getting tighter.
"No, why didn't my sister marry him? Brother was old enough to get married while I was in college" replied Dean who was upset with his cousin's brother, when he supported the matchmaking.
Dean is not too compact with his cousin, somehow they are always ignorant to him and feel dislike. Maybe because they are older than Dean, so treat Dean as they please, but if in terms of certain Batak customs, it should be even though Sarma and Roma, and Lela is older than him, he said, it's mandatory to call an older brother to Dean because Dean's father is the firstborn in their extended family.
However, because it has lived in the city and follows the customary custom in Indonesia to call the older brother, to the older one, finally Dean and his two younger siblings called the older brother to the children of his father (the younger brother of his father).
"Actually I don't want to but you know for yourself that I'm the same Bang Robert has been dating for a long time and he's up in the ranks we're going to get married" replied Sarma dispose of the body.
"That's just a big brother's excuse. If so why not Roma profit is not not tired he pointed with eye prayers at home and others are busy chewing chocolate banana chips carried by their names.
"Dih, don't take us, dong. You know I have a boyfriend too, if Lela, she wants to continue her studies so she does not want to think about marriage" argued Roma.
"really it! Well, the choice is for the three of you, because your sisters are still small, yes you are the last choice. Besides, your name has also tied you up as his chosen son-in-law, by sowing rice on your head, right?" sarma made clear Dean's situation.
"Don't you think I don't know, Sian told me that in fact your name chose Sarma's brother for the first time, even almost in the love of rice," said Dean, not to be considered stupid.
The painful thing about this matchmaking other than because he did not know who the candidate was and not his choice also because it turns out that the pariah actually chose another girl to be his wife, and because it was rejected by the girl, and because it was rejected by the girl, make it the last option.
Is he that bad? Only made the last candidate, like a ball game to be a reserve player.
"Dean, listen to brother, you'll also not have a man, not wrong also to approach with your daughter, who knows what is suitable. You as a sister should be losing out to us. Poor Namboru Uli, he is just the only sister of our father, besides if his son later married equally bule follow in the footsteps of his father, Namboru Uli will be sad. He would also want to have a daughter-in-law Batak," continued Sarma trying to give an explanation to Dean.
After lunch, Namboru Uli pulled his hand to speak with four eyes. They borrowed Sarma's room to talk so that no one would hear them.
"You want yes, Nang, marry Hasea. Namboru does not want if he will be the same as the bule girl," persuaded namboru Uli.
Dean became increasingly unwilling to look at the face of the woman who was pleading with great seriousness. Either the wind from which it blows into the respiratory tract which makes it instantly nod in agreement.
The joyous screeching of Uli's name made Dean aware of what he had done.
"You're accepting? You finally accepted Namboru's request, Dean. Your number is very happy, thank you. Then I'd like to speak directly to your father."
After saying that Namboru Uli joyfully left her, she herself lamented her fate.
"Ito, finally the Dean agreed to marry the Hasea, we should set the date of the wedding, let me return to America to pick up his father and ask Hasea to come to Medan," said Namboru Uli with a sparkling face.
Namboru Uli and her husband do live in America, because their company has long opened a branch in Jakarta, then Rudolf, the, his father sent Hasea who was proficient in Indonesian and had lived in Indonesia for several years, became CEO there, overseeing the running of their company. It had been 5 years she lived there, but not once did she ever intend to meet the bone (uncle: Brother/Sister of her mother).

"Father, it's a pleasure to accept this match, you don't see how happy your face was" said his father, who had taken his seat next to Dean, the one sitting on the terrace enjoys the caress of the night wind and hopes that the distress and mumet in his head can be reduced.
"Why should Pariban, sir? Even if we do not marry the Hasaean, we are still brothers with the name Uli. What's the point of marrying a cousin, sir? Actually it has been considered as incest," said Dean Cuek. Marriage between such cousins should no longer be allowed.
"But unlike us, in traditional Batak people married with a cousin it is more appreciated by the family, meaning that the family relationship will be closer. Besides, if your name were your in-laws, you'd be glad you wouldn't have to face a chatty in-law who's nosy and likes to complain about a kid and his daughter-in-law," sambar Bu Tiur who knows since when has stood on the doorstep.
Dean could only catch his breath listening to the arguments of his parents, anything he said would not apply to them.
He just needs to buy time. After all the promise to bring them together was still a long time, he could still set up a plan and make sense for the matchmaking to be cancelled.
No one knows that she has a boyfriend. Dean had just been with a man he had been dating a month ago and it was with such an uphill battle.
Actually, he could have also refused the request of Namboru Uli on the grounds that he also already had a lover, as did Kak Sarma, but he did not do because his girlfriend is not Batak tribe, his father would reject their relationship.
