"I still can't accept everything my mother said three days ago. It bothered me and I kept thinking about it"
Mika was pensive on her own when her two best friends were watching the Spy x Family anime in her exciting room. One of his friends also awakened his daydream.
"Hey Mika? Whats wrong about you? You don't look like you usually do. Is something bothering you?", asked Fanya.
"Huff", Mika just kept sighing, resignedly. Haven't wanted to answer Fanya's questions. A few times, a few times.
"Damn.. Sometimes, we might be able to help. Yes, Astha?", said Fanya once again while pinching Mika's cheek.
"Ouch! Sick!", Mika replied for a moment.
Meanwhile, Astha just kept nodding while chewing the potato chips on her lap.
"Gals, I told my mother to get married."
"What's? Marriage?!", Sahut Fanya and Astha surprised. Astha coughed as she almost choked on her own potato chips.
"Huffa..."
The girl called Mika, Zahira Amika is the daughter of a housewife and the father of a construction worker. He's 20 years old. Mika is still not working or continuing her studies, her activities are just idle and playing with her two best friends, Fanya Anatasya and Astha Sadiqa.
However, he and his two best friends are members of a community. Her hobbies like watching anime, drawing and singing.
Got a speech from the Mother, Mika was really shocked because Mika herself had secretly had a boyfriend, her boyfriend was her age and was in college. But the two rarely met. They only communicate through cell phones.
Mika is self-aware that she is only a woman. If parents have acted, parents will be easy to tell their daughters to get married, even dare to find a mate.
However, his own girlfriend also did not dare to come to the house to introduce herself to both parents. Although Mika doubts it, she still lets the relationship work as it is.
“Haa ah, this makes me dizzy”, he lamented.
“Kok can your mother really make a wedding anyway? This is so absurd, isn't it Astha?"
"The reason why, Mika?", Astha even more curious.
"What kind of person?", asked Fanya along with Astha's question.
"I.. Don't know Astha!! Oversimplifies.. You're really excited about me. Males is me!!", grumbled Mika and blamed Astha.
"Not me! That's fanya, Fanya!!", Astha's upset.
"Yes, your mother is not only a marriage but also seducing or persuading you or bribing you so that you melt and want to follow him with the lure of the man is handsome, rich and very well established, i. hihihi", said Fanya did not feel guilty.
"Mika, tell us, why were you forced into marriage? We become sad hlo if you don't want to confide in us"
Mika's father is a man who actively participates in any activities in the village community. His kindness and tolerance are so high that the citizens respect him so much.
However, he is an ambitious man who is eager to become a community leader, devoted to the community environment. His ambition led him to persuade one of his friends to run as a lurah.
The limitations of knowledge and the source of the funds made him believe in the flow given by his friend, so that he could not bear the father dare to borrow bank money to make it happen.
He then participated in activities here and there and made important meetings to find supporters. Mother until it is not out of thought, her husband who is only a construction worker has ambitions to become a lurah.
Time continued to run until the father's belief was round and steady. His efforts that he had done were sure to pay off.
But, his kindness to the community was lost just like that with a dawn attack from other lurah candidates. The people he trusted eventually defected and only a few chose him.
High disappointment leaves scratches wounds in the heart of the father. Mom almost stress and dare to buy a bottle of liquor to vent her sadness.
The father friend he trusted betrayed him immediately. All the loan money he did in the name of the father made the father even more shocked. Dad was billed by addicts here and there whose origins are unknown.
The worse the mental father and mother. They both did not think that the public's trust in him was lost only by the attack of dawn and invisible lure.
The world was immediately turned upside down and made the Mika family fall down and helpless.
Then, one day, the father who was pensive in his work project was visited by a man in a very neat suit. They talked to each other and I wanted to share a story.
Father said that his family is now in a slump and he is confused how to find as much money as possible to cover the problem of his failure to be cheap.
The man was really nice, but there was a cunning he was hiding. A kindly rich man is willing to help the father's economy and pay off all his debts but on the condition that his daughter must be willing to marry the man.
Dad was almost stunned, not because his daughter was getting married but there were people who were as good as it was to help the father's finances. Father did not think about the fate of his daughter but rather the desire to get out of poverty.
The discussion was also done, namely the father, mother, older brother Mika and the kind man. The conditions that the man gave were also not grandiose, only the willingness of parents to let go of his daughter and marry her.
The kindness of the man made father once again believe very easily. He decided, would soon marry Mika to the kind man, for the sake of debt that soon paid off.
"Cup cup cup. Your family is really being tested by Mika" Astha said, hugging Mika and stroking her shoulder.
"It's outrageous that your mom and dad are Mika! You're like a child being sold!!", Ejek Fanya.
"What?" Mika was shocked. I don't understand Fanya's intentions.
It was true what Fanya said, that Mika was like a child being sold. Mika's parents marry her to be a guarantee for the repayment of her debt and the return of her family's economy. However, Mika did not understand the reason.
The future was indeed very scary for him, because the future of a lifetime was married. Building a home for many years.
Mika was really scared. But, Mika was trying to stay calm. Seeking to give all the affairs of his life to the Almighty, the Lord of the Worlds. Everything that He has outlined for him must be the best. Even though, he still doubted it.
