Imagine . . . strolling through the lush greenery in an aviary with countless exotic butterflies flying overhead and all around you. Does this sound like a DREAM? Well, this is no longer a dream at Lady Butterfly Park where you can walk among LIVE butterflies in all stages of life and enter their habitat.

LATIHAN SOAL :

Dear Rossa,

            I am guy, twenty-eight years old. I have a problem with my girlfriend. 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 out 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.

            I was shocked because of her decision. 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 feel elated because she loves me too. The real problem is she cannot refuse what her parents want.

            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

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 to forget her and go on with your normal life. Hopefully you can find another girl and live happily forever.
