When Vega walked a little away from them, she heard her dad complaining about her mother’s behavior at home.
“Vega is leaving us now because of you. Vega is very sensitive when she is asked and spoken to about marriage. If you pay attention, she always leaves us when she talks about that! You must know about that, right?” Vega’s dad got mad at Vega’s mother.
“I know,” Vega’s mother answered while she rolled her eyes.
“I really miss Vega. Why are you even talking about that?” Vega’s father argued angrily.
“Indeed, do you think that I don’t miss her? I also miss Vega,” complained Vega’s mother.
“So, why did you ask that question? There appears to be no other topic of discussion.” Vega’s father asked that because, if Vega’s mother really missed Vega, of course Vega’s mother wouldn’t have asked about it and instead talked about other topics that could be discussed together like health, their lives, etc.
“The problem is, you also want to have a grandchild from Vega soon, right?” Vega’s mother asked again.
“Yes, I want to have a grandchild, but I never force her.” Vega’s father said curtly.
“Who forces her? No one forces her, Honey!” Vega’s mother was upset because no one forced Vega to do anything.
“You force her by asking her over and over. Now, you ask her to bring her husband’s candidate!” Vega’s father was angry while he was pointing his fingers at his wife.
“I just want to know the candidates. I’m afraid that she will die alone, Honey,” complained Vega’s mother.
Hearing that, Vega chose to ignore their conversation. Not long after, Vega had arrived in front of her car. She got into her car and quickly buckled her seatbelt. After that, she rode at high speed to Rege Hospital to relieve his fatigue. Riding at high speed is one of her favorite ways to release stress.
“Ah, Mom! Why do you always ask strange things? Why do you force me so much to get married? In fact, it’s my right, and it’s up to me! Why do you regulate my rights so much? That’s my right, so it means it’s up to me,” groaned Vega.
Indeed, Vega’s mother only asked about when Vega would get married, but Vega’s frequent questions about it forced Vega to answer. Furthermore, at the time, Vega’s mother directed her to bring her candidate husband immediately. Who should Vega bring next week to meet her parents?
That’s what Vega thought at the time. Not long after, Vega’s phone started ringing. As she complained, Vega grabbed her phone.
“Ah! What’s wrong? Why are you calling me at a time like this?” She complained.
Afterward, she saw many incoming calls on her phone from nurses who urgently needed her help. Vega immediately complained.
“Ah! Why should they call me at this time?” She complained.
She took a deep breath and exhaled afterward to calm her emotions and calm her frantic mind. She knew that she had to be friendly no matter what her problem was because she is a doctor. But her mind didn’t calm down, even though she tried to calm herself.
She didn’t understand the reason. She only knew that her brain forced her to figure out what she needed to do. Finally, she thought to turn off her phone immediately because she was afraid that her emotions would spread to the nurses and patients in the form of anger, harsh words, or other things that would make her be labeled as a bad and rude doctor.
“Never mind! I’ll just turn off my phone! Then I’ll just have to explain that I’m in the village and there’s no signal. The phone signal is gone! I can tell later that my family is forcing me to go to my parents’ home now.” She thought.
So, she turned off her phone. After the phone was off, she didn’t hear the call at all, which disturbed her concentration. She immediately thought of solutions to all the problems that had occurred.
“Who should I bring as my candidate husband later?” She asked herself as if she knew the answer right then. She started trying to remember the names of the boys or men whom she could invite to meet her mother next week. Indeed, her mother has quite strict criteria for choosing a partner, and her mother is also a picky woman like her.
She always remembers her mother’s message to choose a partner who is well-established, has a good attitude, and is handsome. All of these requirements are in Dion and Alberto, but she was unsure whether Alberto would accompany her to her parents’ house. Dion and she has broke up because Dion has betrayed her by having an affair with Sonia. In fact, she planned to take Dion to meet her parents. But their relationship was broken up, before she brought Dion to meet her parents.
“Indeed, it’s very impossible that I’ll bring Dion later! I have to think of another guy’s name whom I can take with me.” She was thinking at the time.
After that, there’s only Alberto she might take, because there’s no way she could bring another man or a rental boyfriend. If she brings a rental boyfriend, of course it will be very expensive. Furthermore, if she tells her mother about her breakup with a rental boyfriend, her mother will undoubtedly question her about the reason for her breakup and demand a detailed chronology. Not only that, she is afraid that her mother will find out the truth.
Alberto? What does he want? What if Alberto doesn’t want to and prefers Lorena? So he doesn’t want to go with me. Those were the questions that crossed Vega’s mind.
“How can I convince him to accompany me to meet my parents?” She asked herself then.
She thought of a way to get Alberto to be carried by her. Not long after, she remembered Professor Chico’s words that Alberto is studying while working so that he can pay for college, pay for the expenses of his life, and pay for everything that he wants.
“Ah! How about I offer a large sum of money? Of course! He will accept it. After all, he’s already in love with me, right? That’s why he wants to have sex with me.” Vega said it in her heart.
“That’s enough! I’ll try to offer him a large amount of money later.” Vega decided what she would do.
“I don’t know for sure how much I must pay him. But the clear thing for now is that I will pay for his living expenses, his wedding expenses, and all the other expenses that he needs to pay while we are married.” Vega said in her heart.
“For the problem of costs, I can mention the amount of money that I’ll pay first. If it doesn’t fit his criteria and he still won’t, maybe I can offer more money. With that attitude, he definitely wants to accept it. Because I know he needs a lot of money.” Vega knows that Alberto is in need of a lot of money.
“Not only that, I can also give him a bonus in the form of free study with me about all the lessons on campus. I know that he is not very smart in college. So, I can help him. It’s a great opportunity for me and for him!” thought Vega then.
“I’ll do it later on Monday.” She determined.
“We’ll see how Alberto reacts. I really can’t wait to see his reaction.” How did Alberto react? It was the thing that made Vega feel very curious.
