We've Been Matchmade
Deflecting the Ideals of Dinda

It turns out that teaching Dinda wasn't as easy as I imagined. It was really hard to understand the lesson even though I explained it three times. It occurred to me to have him take an IQ test in order to know his abilities in anticipation of sheer futility. But I tried to restrain myself because it was classified as mocking him even though I was anti with bullying.

"Din, you don't seem to be gifted in lessons." I said, speak as is so that he thinks and finds another way out. There is no point in forcing yourself, instead of being able to worry about it even becoming traumatized. Doesn't everyone have their own advantages and disadvantages? Dinda may be lacking in school lessons but excels in other fields. Well, what's the field, that's what I want to find out!

"So you want to give up?" ask Dinda.

"Yes not. just want to say, you should start focusing on the graduation exam as well as preparing for college. well it looks like you will not be suitable for college in medicine considering the subjects of biology and mathematics you always subscribe to zero. Maybe you're a good fit in another field, Din."

"Kok so, anyway? I want to be a doctor."

"You or umi, you?"

Dinda quiet.

"Din, I understand you want to make your parents happy, especially if you are sick. But we also have to think rationally. If you do not master the field and still force to enter medicine, put you can enter a private campus but it remains the same. You will undergo half-and-half, even though the course in medicine is not easy. So think again. Not forever money can save." I said. Trying to open his heart and mind without the intention of teaching him disobedience to his mother.

"That's how Dihya is. I actually want to study religion. I want to go to Medina, Dihya. But I also want to realize Umi's dream to make her son a doctor." said Dinda.

"How about the doctor's daughter-in-law" I said. "If you can't be a doctor, at least you should marry a doctor. Well if you have become a doctor's wife, then later on you will have a doctor's daughter-in-law. Son-in-law is the same as Din."

"But there's a doctor who wants to be like a weak woman like me?"

"That's my responsibility. So don't worry okay!" I held up my thumb. Take it easy, Din, I will try to become a doctor so that you can have a daughter-in-law Doctor!

Today I managed to deflect Dinda's ideals. He's willing not to take a medical exam, he's following my words. Dream of becoming a doctor. Now it's our job to find Dinda's ambition. He said he wanted to study in Medina. I concur. He will enjoy running it later.

"I know you've tried your best, but it's not easy. That's why you have to realize your dream to go to Medina later." I said, encouraging him.

"Yes, thank you very much. I don't know why I feel so happy because finally someone understands what I want. I have not dared to refute the orders of Umi since Umi has been working hard to keep us.

Satisfied talking to Dinda, I headed to the cafeteria. It turned out that Orange was waiting outside, he asked permission to come with me. But without any agreement, he quickly followed.

"So, what's going on between you and Dinda?" ask the orange who was unable to hold himself.

"There's nothing." I answered briefly.

"There's nothing why it's so close to him. Honestly answer!" pinta Orange, this time with a very imposing will.

"Why do you have to know my relationship with Dinda?" I asked back. I don't like his attitude too much.

"Because I love you with Dihya. I've loved you since I was in 1st grade but you never responded to me or any other student trying to get close to you. That's why I'm very curious why with Dinda who incidentally slow but you are very attentive to him. What's the matter, Dihya? What's so great about him? if your reason is because she was a victim of bullying, I'm ready to take her place. But explain what's going on?"

"Huh, wife-to-be? You're kidding Dihya?" Orange gawking. Then he laughed shortly. "It's a really funny joke. You can joke too."

"It's not a joke, but it's serious. Dinda and I have been betrothed by our parents. After college we'll be married."

"But why? Dihya .. oh, you must have rejected that matchmaking, right? It's so ridiculous. A joke that is not acceptable to common sense. This year there is still a matchmaking and your age is still very early!"

"You think my parents and Dinda's parents were a joke?"

"Oh, not so Dihya. But ... I feel so weird. Why should you be betrothed to everything. You are the perfect man for many women. You're smart, handsome and I'm sure you'll be a man. But why be betrothed to Dinda who ....."

"You want to make fun of him like that cheerleader?"

"No, not so but ...."

"That's enough. I'm going to class and don't follow me!"

"Dihya .. but Please answer one more question. You're rejecting that match, aren't you?"

"Is there any reason to reject Dinda?"

"Deeya?"

I don't care about the call of Orange, keep passing to class carrying some snacks and mineral water. Of course for Dinda. He didn't come out for a break because I gave him some things to do. In return I bought him snacks.

***

Oranges are completely out of bounds. He came to the house. Of course to meet Umi, convey her objection to the match between me and Dinda.

"What is this?" ask the confused Umi.

"Well, you're not here?" my question, I don't think it out. Why should he interfere in my personal affairs. If he reasoned to like, I had refused from the beginning. Besides as smart and beautiful as he is if it is too advanced like this also makes me more disliked. "Here go home!" I said.

"It's not until you call off the match. Please Umi." she asked.

I was really upset, so reaffirm to Orange if he did not come home then forever will never want to talk even know him again. Fortunately the threat is sustainable. Orange immediately ran away, afraid I would not know him again.

"It turns out that the umi child has many phases as well" said Umi. I stared confused. "Today someone came to the office to meet umi and leave this letter to umi. You know what it is, he wants to be umi's daughter-in-law" said Umi, showing her a pink letter.
