A Match for Him
29 Want to Marry
"Mon, I'm serious about you. Later when we return to Indonesia, let's get married."
Steve now calls Nuna by the name of Monic, at the girl's request, though Steve has no idea what the reason is.
Monic was, of course, silent, shocked to hear Steve's words about marriage. Honestly, Monic himself was surprised, why Steve who studied in Japan, can often visit those on different continents. Isn't it heavy on the fare? Looking at it from there, Monic should have known the seriousness of Steve.
Want to refuse, but he also has to use the right words, right?
Monic sighed, looking at the handsome face of Steve who was looking at her expectantly.
"I haven't thought about marriage. Especially now, I'm still in medical school."
"At least, we can get engaged first, so that we are bound. To be honest, whenever we're far away, I'm afraid there's another guy approaching you, and that's true, right?"
Of course it's true. Not only Monic, his friends are also many who approach.
"I won't force you to answer now. Oya, in two days I'll be back in Japan."

"We can't close our eyes if there's a lot of sacrifice that Steve made for you, right, Mon?"
They chatted in the apartment while doing college work. Thick books piled up before them.
Wrap snacks and messy drinks on the floor.
"I won't think about men."
"Do you want to be a spinster?"
Naya and Rei keep quiet, not giving any advice, as their love life is more chaotic than Zilda and Letta.
"When he meets his soul mate, he will get married" Naya said, closing the book, also stopping Monic and Zilda's debate.
"As long as you're single, enjoy it. Later if you already have a husband, let alone children, not necessarily we can be this free." Naya let out a heavy sigh, and they knew what Naya was thinking right now, must be her past.

Monic was lying on her bed. Thinking about the future, more precisely about marriage. What he imagined, was a fight for the sake of the quarrel that occurred.
Monic shook his head, feeling scared first. The people around him showed that marriage was bad. Just look how about his parents, who ended up leaving him stranded.
Just look at how Naya and Rei suffered.
Just look at how Zilda and Letta, who despite their former status only had a short time close to Marcell and Vian, but also still feel heartache.
Physical wounds can be healed, but heart wounds will be very difficult. Monic does not want to get married, afraid that later will make her disappointed, and eventually make her son suffer. Monic knows very well how a child who suffers from a bad relationship between his parents.
He remembered Arby and Ikmal, the two men, as good friends, somehow their attitude as husbands. Either Arby's a good husband or he's not.
And Ikmal? Indeed, he is also a good friend, but where Monic knows later if the man already has a partner, do not be the same as Arby as well.
Marcell and Vian?
Monic snorted annoyed. It was fitting that Marcell was hated by them. You fucking playboy!
