Yesterday night, she called me. The night before I called her. When I called her, she wasn't really in the mood to talk to me. When she called me the night after, (I think you can guess..)
M.A.R.R.I.A.G.E
Well, she didn't exactly start it with marriage. She was beating around the bush and then she started with telling me how tired she felt running the family business without assistance, and wish someone to take over. How she is disappointed that I decided to stay far away from family. How it is complicated that the eldest child is me, a female rather than a male. How sad she is that I'm 26 and still have not decide to marry anyone or even be in a relationship with anyone.
I always wanna try and make the best for you. I am staying away from family because I love that feeling of 'homesick'. You even questioned how much I'm earning and how far my career will take me to. The answer is not much and not far enough to make you feel proud. But at least, I am independent. And who i am and where I stand is because of what you make me. And I am more than willing to give that up... because I know, I won't always have you around. I owe you my life because you are my beloved mother.
Let me quit my job. Let me help to run the family business. But you said, I can't.. because I'm a girl. I said, I'll do it with lil bro. But still, you don't think I should.
Then, you said, I should get marry. I should get a husband. And do what exactly? Let him run our family business? While I let go everything that's left of me, to marry a man in desperate, and let him run our business? Where is the sense in these? Why is the need to rush?
I will get marry when I get marry. If it is destined, why worry?
I know what the problem is. I am not even looking. Because I already tried mom. I looked everywhere before. I saw nasty stuff. I was once in love, I was once blinded. I am done chasing that kind of life anymore. My priority is different now. The truth is, I just don't know where to look anymore. I decided long time ago to let love come to me, if it is meant to be.
Why must we argued? Over boys.. those I've met was my money spender, womanizer and plastic. They don't really look into the definition of love, itself. They don't really love me for me. Honestly, I am tired looking mom. The fact is good guys are hard to come by.
If it's not there, then it is simply not meant to be.
Feeling tensed, messed up mind, empty stomach and long and hectic day in office, I went to have dinner with my dear one. Thank you for laughing and lifted my spirit.
Me: I xtau la mak I tu. Pening kepala I. she was telling me lotsa things that doesnt seem to sound right to me.
