I told to my friends, that I had found a girl who has stolen my heart, but I'm also frustrated, I've been looking for her but still can't find her
I was in a cafe with my friends, we talked many things
- " Aron, so how about that girl? " Eric asked me
- " i don't know, i've been looking for her, but still can't find her " i sighed
- " so what will you do? Are you going to keep looking for her? " he asked
- " Honestly, I'm tired to waiting for her and looking for her, I feel like I'm looking for something unreal, I have no clue about her " i ruffled my hair, feeling frustrated
- " enough, Never mind it, you should focus on your engagement party tomorrow " he said and patted my shoulder
- " Aron, I think you should give up looking for your first love, because you already have a future wife " he said
- " maybe you're right, but you know, i didn't love Ana " i said
Ana, She's my future wife
The girl who has been set by my father to become my wife, I've met her for several times, she's pretty, she's a nice girl, but I didn’t feel anything to her
- " You know, this is my father's wishes, this is all set by my father, now you know, how weak I am, I can not defy my father, I can only do what he want " i said
I feel so frustrated, I feel trapped in a scenario that has been set in such a way by my own father
- " i know, i really know how you feeling " he said, he patted my shoulder
- " I will always by your side, i will always support you, just say if you need a help " he said
- " thanks " i smile
I don't know what to do, but at least I'm glad to have a friends like him
---------------
Next day
Today is my engagement
Ana was stands next to me, she linked her hands in my arms, she always smiles, she looks very happy, but I feel different, I'm not happy at all, I feel so depressed, I don't know if I can accept all this, Or just open my heart for her
- " you know, i'm so happy today " she said in a cute way
- " i know " i replied, I try to keep smiling, I don't want my dad to know if I don't like this force engagement
- " i want to go on vacation with you, to celebrate our engagement " she said
- " hmm, we can talk about this later " i try to act normal even inside my heart I don't agree with her idea
I just want this day to end quickly
Then my father came to me
- " my son, congratulation, are you happy to have a beautiful fiancé like Ana? " he smile to me
- " dad " i smile to him and hug him
- " take care of her, i hope you will make her happy forever " he hug me back and i nodded
" Dad, you don't know if I don't love her, how can I make her happy? While myself didn't feel happy with this all, if only you can understand your son's feelings now "
I want to say that to my father but i can't
The only thing i can do, it's just keep pretending to accept everything, pretending to be happy
- " but dad, where's mom? I want to see her " i asked
- " she's there " my dad pointed to the corner of the room
- " then i will go to see her, i have something to talk to her " i smile
- " go son, but don't take too long, Don't leave your fiancé too long " he replied, i nodded then i bowed to him and go to see my mom
- " mom " i called her and hug her
- " omg my son " she hug me back and caressing my back
" What have made you come to me? " she broke the hug and cupped my face
- " nothing, i just want to see you " i replied and smile to her
- " i'm sorry Aron " she said
I was confused why she suddenly apologized to me
- " look son, I know you didn't want this engagement " she said and held my hand
" i know you're not happy, and I'm so sorry that I can't do anything for your happiness " she added
- " you know that? " i frowned
- " of course i know, you are my son, i can feel it, i can see it " she said, she look into my eyes
" You must accept all this, bear all this in order to satisfy your father's wishes "
- " mom, then what should i do now? I didn't love her " i sigh
- " i know son, i know it, but now, you have try to accept this, i promised I will try to talk to your father about this " she said
- " thank you mom " i replied
- " I don't want to see you suffer, I just want to make you happy for your choice, i want you to be free to choose your own future " she hug me
Her words make me strong, this is all I need, my father maybe didn't care about my happiness, but my mom, she understands me very well
The engagement was over, I went back to my house with my friends
I dropped my body on the couch, massaged my dizzy head
- " Aron, are you alright? " he said, he sat next to me while he patted my shoulder
- " i'm done, i'm so done, I feel, from now on, I will live in suffered " i smirked
- " hey, don't say like that, you have me, i will help you " he said
- " do you want to escape? " he said
- " I want to get away from here, I want to be free without being curbed by my dad, I feel like in a strangled " i lowered my head, placed my hand on my head
- " Let's run away from here, go to a place where no one know us, we can start our own life without being curbed by the parents " he said
I know he's trying to cheer me up, trying to make me forget about this
- " thank you, I'm so grateful to have you " i said, i look at him, then he smile at me
- " Don't worry, i’ll help you out of your trouble " he said, he patted my shoulder
I don't know what happens if I don't have friend like him, who always by my side, help me when I'm in trouble, always cheer me up when i feel down
he’s not just friends, but like my own brother.
