Text for question 13 to15.
Dear, Rosa
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem

with a girl friend. 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 girl friend 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 girl friend, 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 N., Padang
Dear Rio,
You call her your girl friend, but she has chosen her
own way. For this reason Id, say that there is
nothingyou can do except forget her and go on with
your normal life. Hopefully you can find another and

livehappily forever.
