Bah lahubun, Lyndo

LOL She is very resourceful. I am quite certain that she is one sim who will always land on her feet. lol A socialite? Hmmm. I've never thought of that as a career choice, but I could see how it would keep you busy. I just don't know how you'd make simoleans at it. She's so cute, though. I adore your family, Lyndo. They're all so unique and interesting in their own ways.

Tin, they know! I was telling them how you and I had decided to wait until my Sr. year to discuss about marriage, but that our love was definately leaning to that direction, and that's when Mah told me about Count Mak*shtay's desire for my hand in marriage. He approached them, but I do not know how long ago. I've had this conversation with my tekarij before, that I want to choose my siraku, (husband, also means cook or burn, lol, but also glory and shining, lol) for myself. We have talked about this so many times, but Matri is an elder and she still believes in the old ways and thinks that an arranged marriage is better for me. She is Parther's Mah, so he has to obey her. So, they just went ahead and started arranging this.
Lyndo, I am so upset with them! How can they do this against my wishes like this? It's so unfair and so wrong! Anyway, right after I posted to you, I had this thought and I just know it was the goddess sending me this message, so I put in a phone call to the island and now I'm waiting for my tekarij to call me back. I guess writing all of this out, helped to clear my mind so I can think of a new idea, or something! I am finally feeling some hope after two days of sadness and grief.
I am going to ask them to please, stop negotiating with the Count's tekarij and to negotiate with your tekarij, instead. Do you think your tekarij would be willing to negotiate with mine, for me, if they call them? I have an ok dowry, but it's not very much. I think that was part of the problem. A count wants my hand in marriage and that's very flattering, especially for a middle-income family. I am trying to keep in mind that my tekarij are trying to keep my best interests at heart. They want to be sure that I am taken care of after they are gone. They do not understand the new ways and they don't understand that in your culture, the women are just as influential and powerful as the men with their simoleans. I mean, our culture reveres women very much, but it's like it's the man's duty to put the food on her table for her. It's not meant as a demeaning thing at all. Our greatest god is a woman, a goddess. We and all the earth were birthed by Feomah. That's where our word for mother comes from, the end of Feomah's name, Mah. So, I don't want you to think that it's becasue we grow up thinking we are less than a man, because we don't. It's just the way things are done. And, really, we are like royalty in our own homes. I dont' know if I am explaining it right or not.
Anyway, if they agree, then I will tell you how to negotiate, ok? It's pretty simple, but there is a way to do it. Oh, I hope they will agree.
Our Peaceful Regent will not meet with any foreigners at this time. Of course, we must protect him and this is why. It is not personal to you, ok, Lyndo. It's just like protecting him. Sort of like when the President goes to hide in the big mountain camp, or whatever that is? Our Peaceful Regent will go into seclusion until the threat is diminished.

I know. I understand. But, now, I am feeling more hopeful. Lyndo, your mulilan is very wealthy, probably more wealthy than the Count's mulilan. And your mah already has bought gifts for me of clothes, right? So, this really might work out alright. I've lit all my incense and candles and made my bequests and prostrations, (well, I can't really stretch out all the way in my tiny bedroom, but I did the best I could, lol), so I'm sure that the anghij will intervene.

>desicion and I will support you.
I will tell you as soon as I hear from my tekarij. Just pray to your god(s), Lyndo. Will you talk to your tekarij about this right away? Perhaps they will approve and then if both sets approve, then we will be able to be together.
I have to believe that when this many big, terrible things happen to keep two sims who are in love, apart, that it means that they should be together and the gods are at war with the devils. The gods will win and the devils will lose, Lyndo. It happens all the times in the sacred texts. So, now, we just have to wait. Oh, the phone's rining.
Lahubun!
