Destiny of the Village Girl

Back to Kampung Lapangan

Arriving at the village, he had already thought of everything. Whatever he's gonna face now. He went back to his reot. He cleaned the whole house.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ndook Ndook you've come home to ndok?"

Leony was startled and confused, he recognized the voice, the voice of Bude Sum.

"Sorry Bude, Bude find Leony's mom?"

The old man was very confused because what he saw was not Leony.

"This isn't a Leony deck huh, who is this anyway? where's leony deck?" tanya Bude Sum speaks Indonesian with a very thick Javanese accent.

"Bude, I know Melani I'm the friend of leony. I'm helping Leony for a little business here. But honey, Leony couldn't come here because he's busy."

"Oohs... That so?"o. Bude sum was still astonished and sat on the chair beside him.

Long they both chatted, it felt like wanting Leony to hug the old man who was very attentive with her.

I want him to tell me all the complaints and his journey in the city so far. Every now and then, Leony teary-eyed watching bude sum telling stories and joking with him.

For now he can't tell me everything, not everything everyone has to know.

Leony also asked Bude sum for help, to tell if anyone asked about her Melany assigned Leony to manage her mother's estate.

He planned to build housing around his village later, but he chose a location that could not be planted anymore alias barren. He bought several acres of land for later housing construction.

Already 2 days in the village, Leony's lover Nurin who heard news of someone occupying the Leony house, swiftly came to Leony.

Disappointed that Nurin could not find Leony there.

"Sorry mom, the Leony why don't you come back here?"

Leony was very confused to be honest or just lie.

"Em, actually emmmm." Leony was very confused as to what to say.

"It's been more than a month that we lost contact, I'm so worried I'm afraid of anything happening. But seeing mbak here told Leony to manage his existing property in this village. Maybe he won't come back to his house anymore."

Leony understood with the intention of Nurin . What he meant was not 'not going home anymore' but 'not going to see him again'.

It hurt so much to hear Nurin say that it felt like .

"So soon as I say I go home first, excuse me."

Nurin turned back home.

"Mas wait."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Nurin was somewhat astonished by Melani.

"Emm Mas, anu it's kmaren mbak Leony pesen, he said if Nurin nyariin mbak Leony, mbak again abroad."

"A-abroad?? Out of town maybe??"

"I-iya mas overseas. Leony's mom got a job there."

"What is mbak?"

"Iii-iyaa masss but not long koq, only 6 months."

"What really is mbak??? Leony never said he wanted to work abroad."

"Yeah mas, because this is so sudden he said mbak Leony has also tried to connect mas, but the signal is difficult."

"What is mbak?"

"Yes, yes." Leony aka Melani smiled wryly .

"Say if you have finished your work, go straight back to the village!"

"Ooh, so. Yaudah thanks you for telling me, as soon as I say goodbye. Not good with neighbors talking.

"Yes, um."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Nurin turned.

"Mas, wait!"

"Yes mother?"

"I want to ask for help if I can?"

"Yes, what do you want for help?"

"i don't know who to ask for help, can you find me a handyman? make a pair of bathroom zinc, or maybe if mas can nukang I ask for help the same mas aja."

"Yes mbak, can-can. I'm here again tomorrow."

"really mas??"

"yes, I will be the nukang, I also happen to have no work yet."

"Thank God, thank you so much for that, I'm waiting for you tomorrow."

"same-sama, I want to go home first."

At night, the atmosphere of the village was very quiet. Very different in the city. Leony thought about how his life would go, there was no way he would continue to hide his identity. Some people may be suspicious. He also loved Nurin so much . What will he say to Nurin.

He glanced at the clearly visible gray bag between the piles of his items. The bag contained a lot of money that he needed later.

He deliberately borrowed some money casually because his village was far from banks and ATMs . And he is also still excited to use the ATM card .

Leony sleeps in his still raging mind.

Tomorrow morning, Nurin arrived home. Leony gave up the money for home improvement shopping.

"Please, my!" Leony handed me a few pieces of paper money.

Nurin turned to her motorcycle to buy building materials.

It's great to see Nurin again today. 

He is indeed a very reliable man, in addition to his calm attitude, not much to say, as a regular building porters he works with professionals.

However Leony had to hurry away to complete the land purchase. So can not long look at the lover who missed him so much every day.

The land purchase process takes a long time. But Leony lived it patiently and painfully. Assisted by Ningsih's assistant, Fira .

Fira works very professionally. He also stayed at Leony's house for a while. 

And soon all of Leony's wishes will be realized. He breathed a sigh of relief. Suppose her mother is still there. Watching all this...

"Mother." Nurin shocks Leony's daydream

"Ah, huh??"

"It's over, I go home first."

Nurin has finished her work.

"Here we go, we talk first."

Nurin sat in Leony's front seat.

"Where are the Fira?"

"Koq nyari mbak Fira anyway mas?"

"It's not visible from this morning."

"She came to town this afternoon, and soon koq came, did you eat?"

"Udah mbak."

"You haven't eaten in the back before I cooked."

"Yes mbak, I've been.mkasih mbak."

Suddenly the bulek Inah came.

"Dek Melani, you've only been here for a few weeks so much has changed."

Leony's amazed.

"Yes, no matter where the house is, it must be repaired to stay durable."

"Not the house I'm referring to, you came here when I told Leony's deck, you here occupied this house and bought acres of land. What the hell is Leony koq's job to pay for and tell you like this?!"

Degh's!

This was the question Leony avoided and feared the most.

"Look, Leony's a success now. I am just his work partner. In a few months Leony will be back here."

"I don't really believe all of your words Melani."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid you're stealing land belonging to Leony's late mother. As far as I know Leony's working in town. If he comes home see his house is occupied by you and the land is on the farm you can get into trouble later!"

"Bulek, you're calm I'm not a thief. What I said is true."

"It's nothing Melani's deck, I'm also her friend Leony's mother. I fear the treasures of the deceased are managed by unknown people, his house is also renovated as good as this. I'm afraid there are people playing behind the deck!"

"Father papa bulek, you can rest easy I said honestly. Bulek doesn't have to worry about that." Bulek Inah came home after saying what he wanted to say . This is what I'm worried about.

"Sorry mom, what exactly does Leony do? Koq can he do all this. While last time I communicated, he said he only worked at the supermarket."

Hearing Nurin's words was like adding to Leony's mind.

"Mas, actually...."

Bremmmm

Fira's car came, made Leony stop his words.

Fira came to the left right full of snacks and mkaanan "This, eat aja.I bought on the road earlier." Fira left everything she held on the table.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

"What did you say to me ?"

Leony's getting awkward

"Get me, not so. Tomorrow it's all."

Nurin became suspicious, from the beginning of her meeting Nurin noticed the way Melani spoke as if she was going to keep a secret. 

"Mas, I'd like to ask."

"Yes, what is it?"

"The process of buying and selling land is complete, and the housing project is ready. You want to be my diplover assistant? you know about architects and buildings."

"I'm sorry, I'm just a regular building porter. I don't understand the architect or what his name is. Don't you have any other acquaintances?"

"I don't have any acquaintances, I'm also the first to run a business like this."

Nurin becomes increasingly suspicious of Melani.

"I'm less mbak. But if you need help, I can help you a little bit."

Hearing Nurin's words like that makes Leony a sumringah.
