2 Bella secret Marriage

"Nduk [daughter]... you are not busy, right?" Mama[mother] as usual immediately talk non chalantly.

"Yes, mom, I obviously can answer your phone, it means that I have free time, What's wrong ma?" Sometimes my mom's question doesn't make sense.

"When are you graduating, nduk[daughter or child]? When have you break in your college?" My usual mom's question wants to know about my college schedule. I am in my final semester so I do not get any break.

"If there is no obstacle mom. Hopefully I can graduate in two months." I dropped the bomb on my parents.

"You're a really well daughter to drop the bomb as we say it. Do your parent need not see her daughter graduate from the college? You are always like that if your parent is not asking you than you are not going to tell anything," my mom begin her nag on the phone. Apparently, I get used to be bothered to share ny news about my life to my parent. I even seldom to ask money from my parent for my pocket money. I learn to pay my own expense.

"Sorry mom. I do admit my mistake. Do you want to attend my graduating ceremony? Normally, you are busier to have you honeymoon together," yes, my mother actually is a high socialite woman who is budy with her schedule and likely to have tome for her daughter. So I get used to all her social event schedule as high class woman.

"it is a done deal. You can't defy and deny our presence later on. I am going to make some dress and ask my assistant to book our ticket to visit you," Mom get excited with the whole picture for celebrating my graduation. However, something a miss in this whole story.

"Eitttsss ma. Answered me with your honest answer. How can you find out about my graduation?" I shoot the arrow toward my mother. There will be no smoke without fire, so I need to find out her true intention to find out my graduation time.

"okay, I admit. Bella's mother tell me the story yesterday. However, we already discuss about our trip to visit you when I attend her daughter marriage last week. I wish you can marry like Bella. Her parent matchmake her with their choice of husband and they are already married," my mother speak like a full energize parrots. There's something about Bella that I don't even know about.

"Mama said what? Bella is married? How can I even do not know about her marriages?" I suspected something had happened to my best friend. Due to the last semester vacation, she returned to Jakarta and disappeared. She broke up with her Australian boyfriend after returning back to Sydney. Even now, sometimes she is seen talking intimately with someone on the phone.

"how you do not know about your girlfriend slash bestie marriage? Are you really her bestie? However, it was a smal but romatic wedding arranges because of her father get ill. Mama loves her husband though as he is good man with a good manner and know his place. He is respected their parent and have a good career. He is not liked someone who never know about manner," mama who from the beginning did not approve of the heart always found fault in my lover.

"Kris ma... Wha? Is it bet is wrong with kris? cause he's not a pure Javanese?" I feel a little guilty about my boyfriend. He's been patient waiting for me and being in long distances for almost three years.

"Yes, all... Mama doesn't want to have him as my son in-law. He is not real man and a lot of more if you need the list frrom me" Mom kept grumbled on the phone. This is one of the reasons I don't want to call home often.

"So, you want to become a match maker. Mom, you have to be remember, we are living in the 21st century era where the matchmaking is not common anymore," I began advising my mother not to have the thought of betrothing me.
