Questions no. 15 and 18 refer to the
following text.
Dear Rossa,
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 student.
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 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 conflict. 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 being I am very upset. When I miss
her I call her. Then we can eat together, talk
together. 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?
Rio, Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, but she has
chosen her own way. For this reason I’d say
that there is nothing
you can do except forget her and go on with
your normal life. Hopefully you can find
another love and life happily forever.
