Wedding Ring
Is Clara Dating?

After Clara finished calling her Father, Clara went into the room. His intention was to tidy up his clothes to be arranged into a bag, because this week he had to move to his new boarding house.

Suddenly crossed his mind with the words of Mother Nur who asked about her feelings to the young man who sold the newspaper. Then immediately he came out of his room and approached Ibu Nur who was busy tidying up the clothes that had just been lifted from the clothesline.

“Bu, according to Mom, what the hell is dating?” ask Clara who suddenly surprised Mother Nur

Clara sat on the floor with a thin carpet by crossing her legs.

Ibu Nur could only smile loosely on her face without saying a word, maybe Ibu Nur thought that Clara had started to fall in love with someone.

"Mother, why didn't you answer Clara's question?” clara asked whimpering while shaking her lips

Then Mother Nur asked back “Emang you have never dated huh?”

“Yap, I have never dated, really never because I was in school, but I was close to some guys at my school, we were all just in the same position

Clara also began to continue her story to Ibu Nur, “I do not know how it feels to be shot by a man, watched and loved by a man, in addition to the affection of my father. When school used to feel weird on its own, there was a lot of pressure to have a boyfriend. Sometimes I get a little envious and even very envious when I see my girl friends walking hand in hand at school. And sometimes also feel excluded if all the friends already have a boyfriend while I have not. Indeed, some of my friends were probably dating without any intention of getting married. And many of them break up after a week or two, they end up looking at dating as a temporary relationship, it could be said that they only consider it as preparation for divorce instead of getting married. Is she dating for a two-year-old fad for fun or just to be considered to have a boyfriend ? it can easily hurt feelings."

Clara continues her story and Ibu Nur seems to enjoy and try to be a loyal listener to Clara.

"My father also never allowed me to date while I was still in the village, every time my friend a boy must be introduced to him. And if for example meet a guy, can not hang out on the side of the road. My father always said to be invited to the house and chat at home, do not be alone on the road there is not good he said. Guys who want to get close to me were a little reluctant to come to the house because my father was always watching. Not only me, it is also always applied my Father to my brothers when they were in school first.”

Yes, Mr. Clara always tried to keep an eye on his children, especially for his daughters. Starting from the association in his neighborhood, even want to travel anywhere, his father always controls.

Clara continued to tell me again, “There was my friend named Rico, he was my classmate when I was in High School, last February I was 18 years old. So, my mom celebrated my birthday. All of my classmates at school were invited, and my teenage friends at church, too, although not all of them were present at the time. At that time Rico was a companion sitting on a chair to blow out the candles on my birthday cake. Rico was also 18 years old with me. At that time my birthday celebration was very crowded attended by close family and also my friends. Rico and I were very compact, and even some of our friends in class thought we were dating. Rico innocently enjoyed what he thought was just being friendly with me. He then realized that I thought of him as just an ordinary friend,”

“Ouch! I'm really shocked. Rico was quick to take that seriously. Really, I just thought we were just friends. That's what I realize Mom, sometimes I think that dating is just for fun.”

Clara felt tired by talking to herself, Nur's mother just silently listened to Clara's story.

“Bu, what does dating mean? Mom hasn't answered me from before!” ask Clara again, as if Clara was not satisfied because Ibu Nur had not answered her question.

Then, Ibu Nur tried to explain wisely to Clara.

“Of course, it is not wrong for you to associate with the opposite sex in a duly supervised group. But a lot of young people and girls, especially ABG teenagers (New Children Gede) who are more driven by a sense of attraction, caused by maturity, age, and age, financial ability and other preparations in forming a household (family), they have not been able or very unprepared.”

Said mother Nur

“So, I can date ya Ma'am?, Clara is not ready and not yet able. For the cost of my life was still asking my parents” said Clara with a smile

“Can-can only Clara. The date is the time of introduction. Many positive impacts if you are dating at the current age one of them, by dating you will be able to socialize with your partner, one of them is, so you can know the character of someone and make you not awkward in socializing with strangers you just met. Because you have learned to socialize with your partner. The point is that your relationship leads to positive things. The world of teenagers or ABG is unique, a million events occur and often create bright and positive ideas. However, not a few negative things also happen.” said Ibu Nur explained

“Mother smart deh, I'm happy to confide in Mom. But until now, I have not found a man who fits my wishes, Mom!” clara said with a smile and scratched her head

“Later you will find the right man, if you are ready”, replied Ibu Nur reassured Clara

Ibu Nur explained a lot about dating Clara, a lot of good advice that she could receive from her uncle's maid.In addition, Ibu Nur also explained by using easy-to-understand language, so that Clara still felt comfortable and deterred to ask back.
