Destiny of the Village Girl

Dear Father

Leony finished shopping and went home. Seen bi Inah who still choose groceries, Leony took a distance so as not to cross paths with bi Inah.

Better to avoid it than to hear the chatter that makes emotions. Arriving at home he felt relieved and sat on the terrace. Before long a car stopped in front of his house, Adam.

Adam opened the car door and looked to be carrying the left and right hand packs.

"Morning, madam Leony." The smile came this morning.

"Morning is also a mas."

"You alone? here, for you." Adam gave me two plastic bags.

"Yes, Fira and Zahra have gone to the marketing office. You don't work?"

"I'm resting, and there's my sister helping me."

"Thank God, I have a brother. I don't have anyone."

"Loh, is Fira not your brother?" adam's expression was astonished this time.

"No, he's my partner. But it's like a brother too. I'll get you a drink for a second."

"Oh, yes."

Leony had brought the groceries and the parcel Adam had brought. Naas, his legs hurt and he tripped and fell into Adam's body.

Adam, who was lying under Leony, felt like an elephant. The pained and bruised Leony tried to get away, and could only grimace.

The leony in pain could not get up. Blood started to fountain on his big toe. Apparently there was a ceramic section that broke, the sharp tip made Leony's big toe hurt and his blood continued to flow profusely.

"Sir, your feet are bleeding!" adam was surprised.

Leony who was also surprised by the blood that continued to pour out made him panic unable to do anything. Adam quickly went into the house looking for whatever cloth he found. Then bandage the wound on Leony's thumb.

Leony who was still in shock with the blood pouring out could only sit still. Adam who noticed Leony who was still in shock cleaned the blood on the floor. Some of it was about the shirt too.

"Sir, you're okay, right?" asked Adam who kept watching Leony.

"I-yes," this time Leony seemed to want to let out tears in pain. But he was arrested because the shame in front of him was Adam.

After a while she felt better and started chatting with Adam. Leony got me some cold water and made some coffee for Adam. He also took out the snack he had bought at the store. Two large packs of bread and nuts.

They talked for a long time until the afternoon. Bude Sum went home past Leony's house and stopped by to give him a still-warm fry, deliberately drilled for Leony.

Not long after Adam came home. They also exchanged phone numbers.

In the afternoon, Nurin and the rest of the family had returned home from their respective activities. Nurin and Bian were sitting down drinking coffee watching television while waiting for mom to finish cooking.

This togetherness will repeat itself as it was before she got married, Nurin thought. He is thinking of the best words to get the news of his divorce with Nita later.

After the meal was over, everyone gathered to watch television. That's when Nurin said the news of her divorce plan.

Father and mother were shocked to hear Nurin's statement that she and Nita were about to get divorced. A new marriage for corn must run aground.

"Son, you have to be patient. True said his father Nita divorce you no one knows first. This news will definitely be very surprising and the only talk" said the mother who looks very sad.

"Yes Rin, that's right. And I think it was also the best decision Nita made. You can understand his wishes." said the father while changing the television canel.

Bian who listened to the news of the divorce was relieved but also sad. This time Bian just sat quietly silently listening to his father, mother and brother. Occasionally take a television remote from the grasp of his father to move canel.

That night, Nita called Nurin. He wanted to ask Nurin's father and mother. He's been chatting on the phone for a long time. Maybe after the divorce there will be a feeling of silence. So he spent a lot of chats on the phone .

The night was quiet without Arif. Usually Nurin came home from work greeted with her cries. Then carry him to sleep. At 22:00 Nurin's eyes were still reluctant to be closed. Suddenly Nurin's phone rings, Nita.

"Mas, what are you doing? are you busy?" asked Nita in a confused tone. The sound of Arif's loud cry made Nita's voice swallow.

"I'm sitting on deck, what's the deck? Arif crying again?" ask Nurin worried.

"Yes, Arif continues to cry. Looks like nyari'in you mas. If you are not busy, will you come here? Arif has been crying for an hour mas, do not want to stop." said Nita with a tone of fatigue that from earlier took care of Arif.

"Yes deck, you wait to go home now." Nurin turned off her phone and left immediately.

Bian who saw his brother leave in a hurry was very astonished and asked, "Sister, where are you going this late at night?"

"So I don't want to go home, Arif continues to cry. Usually big brother, you haven't seen big brother all day maybe he misses." he said while taking a helmet and turning on the motor, "Sister left first, you lock the door brother did not come home." after saying that Nurin immediately left.

Bian then locked the door. The mother who was astonished to see Nurin leave this late also asked Bian. Bian explained about Arif crying.

"How do you want to part with brother Nita buk, Arif is still the same dependency of sister Nurin" said Bian while scratching his head.

"Yes, pity Arif. Young children cannot feel the affection of their parents if they are separated. Therefore Bian, if you are dating do not like to do strange. find women are also good, do not just choose. You will have trouble yourself."

"Yes," Bian answered only a word. He said it had nothing to do with his brother. He only obeyed his mother's advice. Whatever his mother said was true.

Bian was very concerned about the situation his brother was in. He can only say it's all gonna be okay. And his relationship with Nita can be immediately inaugurated.

Fortunately, the past few months he had been keeping his salary money very carefully. The money is planned to be used for the cost of his wedding with Fitri later.

The distance between his parents and Nita house is quite far, about 20 km. Nita's residence at the end of her village's border with another village. With such a distance, Nurin drove fast with his motorbike to arrive immediately.

Arriving at home, he saw Arif who had just been closed and was still as unwilling because he was crying for too long. Nurin immediately took Arif from her grandmother's sling. Nurin hugged Arif with affection, apparently Arif felt the presence of Nurin re-open his eyes but look calm. Shortly afterwards he fell asleep in Nurin's arms.
