"I remember, I wanted to introduce you to Ferhad. Fortunately, you two are married."
Tristan is on fire. Mom's suggestion is to make her go crazy. Untill she had no say in reply.
" That is fine. Even doctors. Polite parents. He wasn't arrogant even when he was a doctor." hugging praise for the ferhad.
" I want to go to your aunt's house this afternoon."
Be quiet. Not a single word of Tristan reply. Can she change her mind and come back today? Don't go on vacation in the village.
" Discuss your article with others."
Spontaneous Tristan head lift. Eyes round. The jaw almots hit the floor. Is this mother right?
" Why?"
" Well.... what's wrong? talk about you."
" Mom..." pause. She wascomposing words. What words are apporiate to given response.
" Tris..." somehow. Heavy mouth. Follow her heart, she refuses. But, it's not like my heart want's to warm my parents' heart.
So now, what she should do? Think of your parents' heart and sacrifice your own heart or what?
" What is it? "
Be quiet for a moment. She took a deep breath and took a long breath.
" Tris has a boyfriend, mom."
There was a sound coming from behind. At the same time. They turn around. Tristan with round eyes, and mother with frowning face.
" what exactly did your brother say?" Madam Dayah look at Luqman, then weep for the virgin.
Tristan bring her brother a look. Eyes narrowed. Asked the mute. But, as always. The older brother just shrugged his shoulders.
" Tris not to dislike the Ferhad. But, she has a boyfriend.She didn't dare tell me," call again.
Amboi! The storyline looks?
Boyfriend? Which gap does she have in her boyfriend? Where did that come from?
" Right to Tris? "
"huh? errr.... " head scratches, she was drooling.
" Do you have a boyfriend? "
" Err... yes, mom." don't know why she agreed to the fake story of brother.
Argh! go on.... as long as he doesn't have to get married. Not disguisting but far roasted from the fire. She Ferhad never known anyone. After all it's like having a girlfriend. heard the gossip. No, she didn't know.
" Why didn't you tell me? If you already have a boyfriend. It's hard to find a husband for you " Madam Dayah smile.
Tris and Luq look at each other. Is not the reaction they expect from mom now. Not. Tris shake. Dissatisfaction began to fade.
