Dear, Camelia

I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girlfriend. She is twenty five years old. We
have been dating each other for years, since we were high school students. Now we have jobs. I feel very
sure that we love each other. Now it is time for me to get married. Unfortunately, her parents never
approve of our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not really mind. At
first I thought my girlfriend had the power to defend our love. But then she surrendered. She loves, me
and she loves her family, too. On the one hand she said, "I'll be happy if my family is happy." It means she
had to get approval from her parents.

For this I was shocked. My heart was broken. She ended our relationship just at the time when I was
ready to marry her. When I was with her, we were very happy. We had a lot in common and there were
no conflicts. The truth was, we separated only because of her parents. They want her to marry her
cousin, her aunt's son (this is one of the traditions in the Karonese).

For the time being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk together for
hours. We act like elating because she loves me, too. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her
parents want. So, should I forget my girlfriend, the only one that I truly love? Or else, should I just wait,
and dream that one day she will be back to me?

Mirza, Jakarta
