Destiny of the Village Girl

Decisions

A cold night is very comfortable to sleep but Arif can not sleep and fuss. Nita was overwhelmed by the calmness of her son. The grandmother also could not calm her grandson who continued to cry.

Arif's stomach is very bloated. Nita continued to rub telon oil all over her son's body. Alternately Nita and the Grandma carried him but his cries grew louder.

Nurin who heard Arif's hysterical cry immediately came and took Arif to hold her. After a while, Arif fell asleep in his arms. It has often been like that, as if Arif understands the figure of Nurin who sincerely loves him.

Nita was very relieved, almost she also cried to see her son. Taking care of a baby is not easy, it takes patience and great affection.

The next day Nurin took a day off work. A day to relax for him at home. But Nita remained busy taking care of her son so Nurin made her own coffee and relaxed on the porch of the house.

That morning I asked everyone to gather in the family room to discuss something. Now everyone is gathered. Nita is seen holding Arif who is fussy because of sleepiness.

Dad turned on the television and sat back down, "Nurin, Nita. It is time for you to legally marry according to religion, the period of iddah is over" said the father.

"Sorry sir, buk. Nita asks permission to talk first." Nita said while breastfeeding Arif her son who is now starting to fall asleep.

"What's Nita doing?" Father asked. Presumably this time his beloved son was going to say something that would make him high blood again.

"Sir, Buk. Nita won't marry Nurin." Nita's words surprised everyone. Nurin was silent.

"What's Nita doing?" ask him to try to calm down.

"Nita and Nurin do not love each other sir, buk," said Nita.

I took a breath, he felt emotion again this time. "Nurin, what about you?"

"I and Nita don't love each other, sir. But I have accepted Nita and Arif in my life. But it all came back to Nita, whatever the decision I also accepted. And I advise Nita to think carefully about the decision she will take," Nurin said, taking a deep breath.

"I've thought about it over and over again mas, you're just a victim of my mistakes and your parents' debts, I feel ashamed." Nita said with a low head.

"Happy, what do you think?" ask my father to my mother.

"Mother just mouthed sir, anyway those who undergo. All accounts payable has also been repaid, and Nita wants to continue her studies again. I hope it's a good start and most importantly no one is hurt by this decision."

"But, that's the name toying with marriage. Not to mention you're taking care of the divorce papers. You will also be a neighbor's talk later, the child is only 2 months old his parents have already divorced?." You take a long breath. It felt like his chest was tight and his heart saw the fate of his son and granddaughter. "If it is your decision, you can only pray that you will be happy later" he concluded.

All relieved to hear you don't mind Nita's decision. Usually will be immediately angry to hear words that are not in accordance with his wishes.

He then continued, "father only asks for one thing, do not first publish your divorce. Because it will be bad in the eyes of the community later. Only family members can know that."

"Well sir." said Nita.

"The father also asked Nurin to stay here during your divorce proceedings. And if it is officially divorced later, often play here Nurin. Our cords must be kept by our families."

"Well sir." That's all Nurin can say.

Although no one was hurt between them all. But that day, sadness enveloped the whole house. It was Arif's presence that made them all smile.

Nurin went into the room to sleep. That day he slept for most of the day. I never thought that all this time he felt that their relationship was okay. Nita decided to divorce. He felt like he was playing with marriage and everyone.

Fuuhhhhhhwi.

Nurin breathed a rough breath. The next day he asked for permission to go home to his parents. He intends to spend the night for two days. Before leaving he went into Arif's room to visit him.

"Mas, bring this for the same father Momuk there!" nita said while carrying a large plastic containing melon.

"Have you deck?"

"Yes, harvest a little. You know the same father Ibuk has never planted anything, this is the first crop and the first harvest as well. Although the land is narrow but it is good enough to eat alone" said Nita while taking Arif from Nurin's embrace. "You ate the melon on the kitchen table I peeled."

"What sweetness is it? actually, I'm not really into melons."

"Sweetie mas, what I peeled was too mature anyway. So it tastes pretty sweet."

"Mas went straight away, later eat it together there alone."

"Yes already."

Nurin took the key and the helmet and left.

He saw Nurin's back which slowly disappeared from his sight. Now he can still see it. In a few weeks, he may never see Nurin again. A man who accepts himself. Will he be able to get a man like Nurin later. His heart ached, wasting men as good as Nurin.

He was covered in Arif who was asleep. Soon she will leave him to continue his studies. Her tears flowed unstoppably again.

This time he had to be strong, go to college to get a good job. For the sake of her baby, Arif. One day he will also look for a kind and sincere man like Nurin.

Nita looking for a map of the collection of files and marriage books. She will soon be taking care of her divorce. There's no way he's gonna let Nurin take responsibility for everything he's done.

*******

On the way, Nurin saw Leony was walking limped. He took his limp leg towards a shop. Coincidentally Nurin also wanted to stop by the store to buy cigarettes for his father.

"Mas, you want to go to work?" ask Leony who greeted first.

"Yes, just want to go to my mother's house just to work, what do you want to buy?"

"I'm going to buy some bath soap and some snacks mas."

"Can't ride a motorcycle yet?"

"Yet, yes yahagini at home just lying around watching television while snacking" said Leony while choosing a snack.

Suddenly Bi Inah appeared to shop. Leony's expression changed drastically after seeing her. And it's true that Bi Inah's skills are now highlighted again.

"Well, it just so happens that there's a Leony deck with his ex. What are you two doing here?" ask her with a cynical smile.

"Yes buy Bi... really want to do something here?" leony said showing his displeased expression.

"Shopping with the deck? your homes are far away. I can make a deal to shop here" he said as he passed without expecting any answers from the two of them.

Nurin and Leony became awkward and immediately took their respective groceries and left.

When Nurin got home, no one was there. So he just put down a big plastic bag of melon he was carrying, then went to work.
