me: mum, do you mind if I dont have 'anyone' to be intriduced to you and dad on my graduation day, haha (kidding)
mum: what do you mean by 'do you mind?', of course I really dont mind..
me: what? dont you pray a little for my future mate? I mean other mother always care about it
dad: (laughing)
mum: oh dear, I'm so upset actually when I met my old friends, they said that you'll get married soon. oh I'm afraid if it truly happen
me: what about that statement? dont you want me to get married?
mum: I really want you to get married dear but not soon..
adek: mba wit, I dont want to be an aunty..
lian:me too, I dont want to hold your baby, noo..
me: what? what with that attitude, ah you're all so weird this night (starting upset)
mum: dear I want you to graduate with a perfect achievement and have a good career soon, and I want you to have a happily ever after family, but not these next 4 years.. get your self married on 25
me: (surprise) what? mum, it's not something I could rule..
mum: but you could prepare it dear
me: why everyone hates my idea to get married sooner?
lian: I dont want you to get married before 25
adek: me to mba ian, I dont want to be called by 'bibi' or 'tante' soon
me: you two are selfish!
mum: dear, they still need your guidance and your attention, and you'll soon take responsibility of them with us too
me: I do know mum, but what about getting married? is it wrong?
mum: no, it's absolutely right wit, but I think the right time is when you're 25 dear.. you'll be nicely ready..
me: (thinking whose theory is that?) yeay, now I know why do I still being single till now, even my mum never pray for my future mate to come..
lian, adek, dad: (laughing out loud)
mum: I always pray for your health, your education, your days....
me: (stopping her) but not for my future mate, I see..
mum: c'mon why are you so upset, you're still 21 dear, you still have us..
me: no, I'm not upset, I'm just feeling soo sad (lebay), because my mum never pray me for my future mate..
dad: go on dear, I'll support you..
mum: what support?
dad: we can do nothing when it comes to the right time
me: dad, you are so sweet
mum: no, I wont let you marry before you're 25
me: mum, dont you realize, that was so selfish
lian: mba wit, why are you suddenly talk about marriage, you even havent met someone yet (yelling)
adek:so right mba ian, she might be dreaming (laughing)
me: you two are annoying.. I'm just asking and I never imagine that mum is thinking that way.. mum, so I'll be cursed to not have a boyfriend untill I get 25.. poor me...
mum: no, I never curse you, you may have any relationship now..
me: really???
mum: ya, but not a sooner getting married relationship, just a relationship for having fun dear..
me: oh mum... how come you said that while I really want to have one first and last relationship for my whole life.. we dont match each other mum.. (listless)
dad: that's good wit
me: thankyou so much daddy
mum: you have to focused your mind to your thesis wit, dont ever think of useless things dear.. okay, could we end this marriage conversation? it's not like you're ready enough to get married..
lian: have you decide when will you get married mba?
me: none of your bussiness (sulking)
adek: whoaa, she's angry.. (laughing)
mum: dear, you have to spend your youth wisely.. young marriage sometimes is not a good idea to spend your youth, see the world, reach your ambitions first.. dont you want to do that?
me: ya mum, I understand..
dad: but dont foce yourself. just do the best you can do now, that's your priority.. maybe you're a little to young to talk about marriage
lian and adek: (laughing)
me:hm.. ya ya ya..
mum: ok then be focused on your thesis, how was it?
me: arrggghhh.. (I've told my mum to just asking about my thesis once on three days and to not asking about it on saturday night :D)
and the conversations still continue.. (but not about marriage thingy :p)
