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 I’d, say that there is nothing you can do except
forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find another and livehappily forever.

Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your brother told me several
weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s
death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will
feel it deeply, for you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to
myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please assure
him of my sincere sympathy.
