My Choice Vs Mum's Choice Mate
2. Mother's Request

The next day at Emil's house.

"Good morning everyone. Let's have breakfast, this is a typical Indonesian food I hope you like." said Emil's father to everyone.

Everyone sat around the dining table. There are Padang, rendang and shrimp dishes, there are also chicken and duck vegetables and sour vegetables, complete already make the stomach rumble for those who see it. Rudd and Adriana also had breakfast and they appeared to praise the delicacy of the food provided at Emil's house several times.

This morning Rudd and Adriana are already planning to take a walk around Monas and stop by the nearby tourist attractions with the help of Emil's father's driver. While Emil chose at home to chat with his younger siblings, Nabil and Hazna, who were 10 years and 6 years respectively.

Suddenly Emil's mother came to his three daughters who were gathered in front of the TV in the living room.

" Emil, I'm the one who wants to talk important to you."

"Yes, what mom?" Emil walked closer to his mother's embrace.

" Emil, it's father's decision with mom, we want you to get married, we'll get you married."

Emil immediately let go of his embrace.

"Emil hasn't married Mom yet, Emil beg Mom, don't just make a bet." Emil pleaded with his mother.

"Alright mother love you for a month, you should be able to bring candidates here. To be introduced." Emil's mother showed a serious face to her daughter.

"If you have brought a candidate, the mother will also still select it. This is mandatory and cannot be denied Emil, for your good." continued Emil's mother.

"Yes, my mother is sorry." replied Emil by force.

Emil began to get upset and he immediately withdrew from his mother's presence to the room. Inside Emil's room begins to digest his mother's words. It does not cry like most women would be betrothed. He began to think about what he should do.

While he did not have a lover, because he had never been dating at all. And of the many closest male friends only Rudd and Rudd already have Adriana. Logically he is clearly unable to bring in a candidate any time soon. Even if having to hire a man is too difficult how to teach him to pass the selection of his mother. And even if he escapes he also does not necessarily like the man.

Emil continued to think hard how he overcame his problem until he did not feel he slept in the sova located in his room.

"Emil, it's already the 30th day, and you haven't shown your candidate to mom, so this matchmaking you can't refuse."

"Yahoooooooo!!!!" shouted Emil loudly.

"Tok ... Geck... Tok... , Emil why are you?"

Emil flinched from his sleep, with sweat drenching his forehead. Emil is dreaming.

"Oh apparently I was just dreaming. I was thinking so much about mother's words. I had to find a way so that this matchmaking did not happen and I could buy time because I was not ready for marriage." emil said in his heart.

Emil immediately got up to go to the bathroom to prepare himself to immediately catch up with Rudd and Adriana. Emil boarded Gojek to the location that Rudd and Adriana had sent.

Rudd, Adriana, and Emil surrounded the mall, they laughed in jest. Really great friendship. Their walk ends with a dinner at Emil's favorite Padang Cuisine restaurant.

"Wait a minute I'm going to the toilet first" Adriana said to the toilet.

"Rudd, you know I'm envious of your togetherness, hehehe" Emil smiled as he stirred the Iced tea he had ordered.

"Hmm, you yourself who used to reject me, if you accept me first you are in the position of Adriana at this time.then you must open your heart immediately, do not be too stubborn and steel-hearted.hahahaha," Rudd laughs at Emil, occasionally stroking Emil's long, jet-black hair.

"Hey hey, get your hands off Rudd's head, I'm not a kid anymore." Emil took Rudd's hand off his head.

After a while Adriana returned from the toilet and continued eating the dishes she had ordered. After they were full, they went home to dinner the three of them. At exactly 09:00 pm they arrived home. And they went straight to their rooms to clean themselves and sleep.

Before falling asleep Rudd imagines his walk with the exciting Adriana. Likewise Adriana does not stop praising the romance of Rudd. While Emil is still the same, thinking about his steps to stop the arranged marriage that his parents planned. Suddenly Emil remembered Rudd's words about his rejection of Rudd a few years ago.

I don't know Rudd why I rejected you, which I'm obviously afraid of what I imagined myself about dating is painful, what if there's betrayal, what if left alone again unfortunately as in the songs? It would stress me out and interfere with my learning. I don't want that to happen. And all you have to know so far is the man who can make me comfortable, who I trust is only you Rudd. I'm afraid of the matchmaking that my parents told me Rudd, I just want to befriend you Rudd instead of the other ~Emil
