Even though Vega didn’t know whether Alberto would want to marry her or not, It is very likely that Alberto will not want to marry her because Vega noticed Alberto’s response when she announced that she was pregnant. Alberto refused to acknowledge that Vega’s son was his and preferred Lorena.
“Yes, I know. Indeed, your life’s needs will never end because you really like to eat snacks and buy luxury goods.” Violeta knows that Vega often buys branded luxury goods that Vega doesn’t need.
“But aren’t you more interested in becoming a doctor than a professor, and you swore that you never wanted to be a professor in your life? So it feels weird to me.”
“Yes, I’m really interested in becoming a doctor, and I don’t really want to be a professor. But what can I do, Violeta? Can I ask my parents for this? Of course not! I’ve been working as a doctor. Surely mom and dad will refuse to pay for me. Is that right?” groaned Vega.
“Yes. That’s true. So, you must learn to save your money. Don’t spend your money on shopping for branded goods!” Violeta’s advice.
“When you get married, you won’t be able to spend so extravagantly! You have to think about your child’s future and your family’s future! Learn to be frugal, Vega! You will get married later.” Violeta advised Vega again and linked it to marriage.
“And now! This is what makes me hesitant to pick up the phone and call you, Violeta.” Vega said curtly, because he was too lazy to pick up Violeta’s phone.
“I’m sorry, Vega. Please, forgive me!” Violeta apologized lazily.
“So, when are you going to our parents’ home?” Violeta asked about when Vega would go to their parents’ home.
“It seems that this year I haven’t been able to go to parents’ home. I’m so busy.” Vega said that she couldn’t go to their parents’ home.
“Come on, Vega! From year to year, you keep arguing that you can’t go home because you’re busy, Vega? When will you not be so busy? Just this year, you went to our parents’ home, Vega. Come on!” coaxed Violeta.
“Must I? What do they want to say at home, Violeta? The problem with my age is that I’m getting old, but I’m not getting married. What about our family friends, relatives, or coworkers who are married at the same age or younger than me? That’s true, right?” Vega asked what they were going to talk about.
“Who knows! I also don’t know. What is clear is that our parents miss you very much. Come on! Go to our parents’ home before our parents die, Vega! They are old. We don’t know that we can meet them next year or later.” Violeta tried to make Vega want to meet her parents.
Vega was pensive for a moment, thinking about her sister’s words. It’s true what her sister said, but Vega is still traumatized by her parents’ words, who frequently ask when she’ll marry. No, it’s not only a trauma problem. Vega is still confused about what she should say when her parents ask her about the reason for her not getting married. Can she excuse that she is busy?
Of course, her family will reject her excuse outright, and Vega was advised not to be so busy. In fact, Vega still wants to pursue her dream of becoming the best doctor in the world. Can she excuse the fact that she isn’t finding a suitable man for her?
Of course, Vega will be advised. “That’s why, Vega, you must not be a too picky girl! Don’t be too hard on yourself! That’s enough! Anyone who wants to marry you, just say yes! Because you’re too picky, you haven’t married until now.”
Of course, Vega’s parents will be compared verbally to her sister. “Look, Violeta! She’s not as perfect as you, but she’s married. Because of what? Because she can accept a guy for who she is.”
“She doesn’t like you, Vega. I can’t imagine if she does the same as you. Of course, she will be like you! She’s not getting married until now, Vega!”
All those words were still in Vega’s brain. Vega felt she had no reason to refuse marriage. The problem is that Vega can also be matched by someone else later if she doesn’t get married. Ah! That’s enough! The problem gets even more complicated for Vega, who chooses to be single until she finds the perfect guy for her.
“Vega! Vega!” Violeta’s call on the phone suddenly interrupted Vega’s thoughts after that.
“Oh. Yes, Violeta,” said Vega.
“In any case, I don’t want to know or hear your reason again. This Sunday, I’ll pick you up! Later, we’ll go to our parents’ house together.” Violeta stated her plan emphatically.
She would not allow Vega to go to her parents’ house alone. Because she was very sure that Vega would definitely try to run away and would not come to their parents’ home like last Christmas, Vega said that she would come to her parents’ house. In fact, Vega didn’t come to her parents’ house. Instead, Vega went to Rege Hospital and Brazon Hospital to face an impromptu operation there.
“But…” Vega immediately wanted to negotiate to go alone to her parents’ house, but Violeta immediately cut her words off.
“I don’t want to accept excuses anymore, Vega! See you on Sunday!” Violeta immediately ended the call.
“Ah! What should I do? I really don’t have any ideas,” complained Vega.
Vega was really confused about what she should do. Vega thought for a moment. Reasoning is no longer the right choice for Vega. Lying was impossible because she was certain her parents would discover the truth in the end. Therefore, like it or not, Vega can only surrender and let them know the truth. Regarding how her parents responded, Vega could only say yes and surrender.
“That’s enough! Don’t think about it! I should prepare for tomorrow’s presentation!” thought Vega. Then, Vega focused herself on tomorrow’s presentation and teaching her class.
