JUST BECAUSE The debate started again today. It was about the same topic, Didit’s marriage proposal. “Just because you’re nice to me, does that make you good enough to marry me? I think you’re not blind. The world would be messed up if all men were as over confident as you.” But, I have to admit it! Aditya Pramana had good reasons to be proud of himself. He was not an average man. He was special in many ways, physically, financially, and intellectually. He was more qualified to be a husband than any man that I knew. “Come on, Mer, tell me if I’ve done anything wrong.” “Ha..ha..ha.. don’t panic, Dit. All this time you’ve been such a very good friend to me.” “Dit, a marriage proposal is totally different from a business one. Just because you’re so nice, just because you’ve been my boy friend for two or three years, just because you’re qualified to be a good husband, that doesn’t mean that I’m going to marry you. Is that understood?” “Are you saying that you’re the type who likes rude and unpredictable men to hang out with? Oh, get real, Mer. This is a serious matter. Answer me, please.” “Forget it, Dit. Being married to a friend of mine has never crossed my mind.” Didit kept pressing ahead with his proposal. He was spoiling my bright morning by bombarding me with his arguments. “Stop it, Dit. I am getting sick of you. You’ve ruined my mood. Just get over it, okay?” “Not until I get a satisfactory explanation.” I leaned on a sofa overlooking a refreshing green yard. “Okay, Dit, since you’re insisting, no tell me one good reason, why in the world do you keep proposing to me?” “Well, honestly Mer, I’m pretty sure you’re very valuable. You’re worth sharing my life with. Believe me.” “So, I meet your qualifications. But, that’s too bad. You don’t meet my qualifications, Dit.” “Don’t you like me, Mer? Is there another man? Can you mention the name of a man who’s better than me, in your opinion. “Enough, Dit. I can’t stand it anymore. But let me tell you a story. I remember a girl, named Citra, the girl who called me one night in tears. Using their vulnerable long distance relations as an excuse, a man named Aditya Pramana had the heart to abandon her and abruptly cancel their wedding that had been planned for years. And it happened only a month before the wedding. And this Aditya Pramana certainly had no idea that Citra was my cousin. She was the reason for my refusal. Now, I’ve told you my reason. Are you happy?” Didit was speechless. Truth does hurt, as a wise man says. The story doesn’t seem to have a good orientation. Work in groups of four and give the story a setting: where and when the story happens.
