Questions no. 15 and 18 refer to the following text.

Dear Rossa,
I am a guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with a girlfriend. She is
twenty-five years old. We have been dating each other for years, since we were
high school student. 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
our relationship ever since the very first time. My family, anyhow, does not
really mind. At first I thought my girlfriend 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 conflict. 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 being I am very upset. When I miss her I call her. Then we can eat
together, talk together. The real problem is, she cannot refuse what her parents
want.
So, should I forget my girlfriend, 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, Padang

Dear Rio,
You call her your girlfriend, 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 love and life happily forever.
