LOVE THE COLLEGE TIGER
Papa Solutions
Hearing Elzata across the street sobbing, Ega just went silent listening and waiting until the girl calmed down.
"Isn't he crying yet?", Ega opened the conversation back gently.
"I'm not ready, Ga. I'm really not ready. You used to ask me to fight to persuade my parents to reject the proposal of the minister, right? Now can't I ask you to fight for us?", replied Elzata emotionally.
"Didn't you say you were sincere if I chose Japan and married another girl?", Ega tried to lure Elzata into revealing his true heart.
"But I can't. When you said Sera's name, I realized I couldn't be without you. I don't want you to be like Sera or any other girl. I can't... I can't" replied Elzata with a weeping firmer.
"If you can't, don't ever ask me to marry another girl again and choose another option besides you. Ask me to fight for you. Ask me to fight for our love"
"But I want you to be happy, Ga. I don't want you to sacrifice everything just because of me"
"But you can't, can you? Baby, believe. I will fight for you, baby. I just want you to believe in me. You want to wait for me to finish it all?"
Elzata did not answer. His chest still feels tight. His mind ran somewhere. His hope was already scattered.
"Darling, you believe me, right?"
"I... Iyaaaa", finally Elzata replied.
And the chatter of the day really strengthened the two of them to stay together. Asa for the sake of hope that had been awakened then scattered just like that, now they began to take fragments after pieces so that they could be assembled back into Asa shells that would unite them someday.

Since the conversation with his mother at that time, Ega always avoided meeting his mother. Some days Ega was seen confined in the room, occasionally only out to eat, even if his mother was not there. If her mother is at home, Ega chooses to starve to avoid meeting her.
Papa Ega who saw the strange gurgle of his son began to guess what was raging in the mind of his sixth son.
"Ega!!!", the papa decided to go into Ega's room and start a conversation with his son.
"Yes, Pa", answered Ega briefly
"You why? Papa look at you moody. Same with your mom?"
"Ahhhh, must have been my mother told me the same Papa. And Papa Belain mama must be Pa?"
Hearing his son's reply, the papa simply smiled amusedly.
"If Papa were you, Papa would fight for Elzata. Fuck the S2 class. After all if you choose to get married now and have your own household, someday you can decide for yourself you want to go anywhere your wife does not mind, right?"
"I mean Papa?"
"Just tell your mother, you chose Elzata and stayed in Indonesia. It's made complicated"
Ega seemed to think for a while, and finally took a deep breath.
"But Sera, Pa? Mama had nelphon Sera yesterday Pa", Ega was seen beginning to enthusiastically hear the advice of her father.
Hearing the input from his father, Ega finally decided to meet his mother.
"Maa.., Ega has decided", Ega emboldens herself to start a conversation.
"Mama's guess is it?", replied the mother confidently. There was a faint smile on his lips, which was very difficult to decipher.
"Mama wrong. Ega's love for Elzata is much greater than Ega's desire to continue S2 in Japan", Ega replied steadily.
"What's? Didn't my mom hear wrong? You wanna mess with your own life, son? Your heart is blinded by your love. You want to eat that love?"
"Didn't yesterday mama love Ega two choices? And this is Ega ma's choice. Let alone to Japan, if Ega had to sacrifice Ega's life though, Ega would still choose Elzata"
"But what about Sera? Mama already asked Sera to be Mama's daughter-in-law?"
"That's Mama's business with Sera. Mama still has 3 other unmarried boys, right? Tell them to marry Sera. What have you ever talked about Sera to Ega? Not Ma? Never, right?"
"Egaa...!!", mama shouted in an annoyed tone.
"What does this mama want sich Ma? Yesterday, Mama gave me two choices, right? And this is Ega's choice. If you don't want to draw your words to Sera, let Ega tell Sera. If mama is still maksa too, let Ega out of this house. Let Ega take care of Ega's own life and let Ega look for Ega's own happiness", see the gurgle of the mama's convoluted, finally Ega chose words that will make his mother give up.
But seeing his mother did not flinch at all, Ega did not want to mess with his own words.
Ega went straight to his room. He took some of his clothes and belongings, put them in a suitcase. Before long, he snatched the jacket behind his bedroom door, picked up the phone that was strewn on the bed and finally came out.
Seeing the threat of his son not playing games, the mother cried. And then it collapsed just like that, fainting without being able to say anything.
"Mrs...!!!"
Seeing her mother pass out, Ega and Papa immediately ran towards the mother and carried her to the room. Lying her mother on the bed, then patted her cheek, and smelled all around her nose until her mother kissed her.
"Ega.., Ega.., don't go, son. Don't go.., mama please don't go, baby. Don't stay in Mama", after the mummy immediately cried, begging Ega.
"Sorry Ega, Ma. But Ega can't. Let Ega go and take Ega's own path. Will Ega prove that Ega can be happy with Ega's decision", answered Ega, do not want to look planless in front of his mother even though his mother had fainted in front of his eyes and his own head.
"No son. Don't leave Mama. Forgive Mama dear, forgive mama", said the mother, not giving up.
"Go back to your room. Let Papa talk to your mama for a while", Papa finally interceded.
"But, Pa. Ega..."
"Stttt.., we'll talk. Go to your room"
Hearing her papa's orders, Ega simply complied without saying a single word. Whether what his fate will be like, which is clear if his mother still remains pushy, Ega will continue his escape action. In any case, Ega had promised to fight for Elzata and the happiness of both of them. And it was time for Ega to prove to Elzata and his own family that Ega's feelings for Elzata were not playful. As hard as it is, Ega will show that his love for Elzata is greater than anything else.
Where is the end of the struggle?
