Destiny of the Village Girl

Leony's Travel

A cloudy day, the new day draws closer to Nurin and Nita's wedding.

That day Mr. Nita gathered two families to talk about something.

Nurin and her family immediately went to Nita's residence.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Nurin's family has arrived.

"Wa'alaikumsalaam," replied Nita, then allowed the Nurin family to sit down.

"Please sit down, sir, buk." Nita came over to sit on the sofa.

"So sir, Buk, there's something I want to talk about" Mr. Nita opened the conversation,

"our children are getting married, but I realize their marriage is not based on mutual love" he took a slow breath and continued, "Nurin was willing to marry Nita because of the pressure from me due to the debt owed by father and mother." paused his sentence then continued, "what I want to ask is what do you mean by father and mother pay off your debt? does that mean you are rejecting this match? I apologize in advance if there's a wrong word."

Nurin's family was shocked to hear the words of her father Nita.

"Paying the debt sir? we never paid off anything and from where we could pay the 300 million sir" Nurin said astonishedly.

"So, how does this mean? yesterday the father's youngest son came here with 300 million and paid it off." Mr. Nita is no less her, "what I want to ask is Nurin, do you refuse this matchmaking or still accept it? the decision is all in your hands. And now I have no right to press or force you anymore."

"yes sir, I will discuss this issue with my family. And my sister's problem is paying off the debt, me and my family feel bad about it. And do not know anything at all sir." said Nurin while still feeling amazed.

In his heart, Leony must have known about this matchmaking. Nurin became very sad and confused.

Nurin's family said goodbye, when they got home they all just fell silent. Mr. Nurin's mother had also been able to guess that the one who paid off the debt must be Leony. They were just waiting for Bian to come home from work to get an explanation for everything.

In the afternoon, Bian came home. Bian had also expected that everyone in the house would ask about it.

After eating and bathing, all gathered in the living room without a single command.

"Bian, did Leony give you the money to pay off the debt?" ask Father.

"Yes sir." Bian answered while watching tv.

"Where's Leony now? You want to meet, can you or Nurin ask him to come?"

"It doesn't seem like it, sir, it's been two days for Leony to get out of town."

"What did Leony say to you, Bian?" continued Mr.

"Sir Leony said, he paid off the debt of Mr. Ibuk because of the hard work of Bian and Kak Nurin. It has nothing to do with personal matters. He also said sincerely that Kak Nurin should marry Kak Nita. So about money there is no problem to worry about. He went to open another business in town."

Bian's explanation made everyone very sad.

"But sir, bus, will you really marry sister Nita?"

Nurin bowed to hear Bian's words.

"It all depends on Nurin, whatever his decision the same father Ibuk will appreciate."

Nurin left them all in the room. Nurin tries to protect Leony with a chat message.

("Sir... Where are you?")

("Can we meet?")

Shortly thereafter Nurin saw his chat with blue ticks the sign had read.

Nurin called, but there was no answer.

He sent a message back, though,

("Dec, pick up the phone.")

Nurin called back, but there was no answer.

He went to watch tv, until Bian came. Bian went straight into the room and slept. Nurin stayed up until almost dawn.

The next morning, I found Nurin still sleeping on the sofa with the tv still on. Mom turned off the tv and went to the kitchen to cook.

At 7 Nurin and Bian finished breakfast then went to work in housing. There they still don't see Leony.

The more guilt Nurin felt to his lover, but it was not easy to lick the saliva back.

"Morning," said Bian to Fira.

"In the morning, too," Fira replied, "Your brother still doesn't work?"

"There's no mbak, it's outside."

"Oh..."

Fira calls Nurin to go to the Bank to take the salary of the kariawan as well as share it.

Nurin went to the Bank which is a little distance from the village about 30 km. After withdrawing the money then he distributed it to the employees.

Since Leony's departure, Fira has taken over everything. Do everything alone and sleep alone. Fira who used to live alone, since there Leony felt calm and comfortable to get friends as a struggle. But this time, Fira had to be patient in dealing with her loneliness, she also realized that Leony also felt what she felt, especially if it was night. Only the sound of crickets accompanied.

Because he did not want to be alone, sometimes Fira stayed at Bude Sum's house. Or vice versa Bude Sum who stayed with Fira. Bude Sum has also been widowed for a long time, his children all wander into the city. Rarely come home, a year only go home 2 times.

For a week without seeing Leony, loneliness began to haunt Nurin again. He always tried to contact Leony but never could. While he is not comfortable if he has to decide on a match. The wedding day is getting closer. The more pounding Nurin, pounding waiting for news from Leony.

Every night he went through now felt empty and lonely. He would occasionally look at Fira to bring him a snack. I hope to find Leony there.

"Mr... Nothing from Leony yet?"

ask Nurin.

"Not Rin, you better not have much hope."

"Yes, from the start I was wrong."

"You are not entirely wrong, I salute you, you are not easy to pull your words."

"I'm worried about Leony."

"Sama Rin, I'm worried too. But the more you focus on your marriage, the closer you get to Leony, the more you hurt each of you."

"Yes, ma'am."

Bude Sum came to bring a boiled cassava snack, still hot. Bude Sum smiled at Nurin's arrival. They chatted long into the night until late at night. Fira makes black coffee for Nurin and milk coffee for her and Bude Sum.

Late at night, Nurin went home. He walked with gontai. While chatting with Fira and Bude Sum, she felt warm. But when he returned home, his heart turned cold again.

He kept checking his phone, hoping Leony would text or answer his phone. But there was never any reply.

At midnight, Nurin fell asleep. Suddenly his phone rang. He thought it was Leony, as fast as lightning took his phone. It was Fira who called. He said that there was almost a burglar coming in.

Nurin and Bian quickly met Fira, when they were there, many neighbors had scattered out, watching the window of the house Leony gouged almost fell to the ground.

"Sir, why not?" nurin asked worriedly.

"Father Rin, I was yelling at her mouth still in the window. Keep the holster got stuck in the nail. The other person panicked and immediately blurred" Fira said in a frightened tone.

"Tonight I will sleep at Sum's bude house, tomorrow we will install a trellis on all the windows."

"Yes Rin."

That night they all slept with a tense feeling.
