PELLET THE MIDWIFE

Chapters 30. The Heart of Fadli

"You why the hell? Lately acting strangely," Yasmin was not pleased with Fadli's change in attitude. Since his meeting with Puspa at that time, Fadli's attitude changed slightly.

"I'm tired, Yas." said Fadli, removing Yasmin's hand around her neck.

"I don't accept rejection, Fad!" Threaten the woman.

Since the relationship, Fadli was the one who had to continue to obey the wishes of the woman.

Fadli could not refuse because Yasmin continued to bring up the position and company. While Fadli did not want to be a bully in the big city.

Not that Fadli's parents couldn't afford his life, it's just that the man was too prestige to return home with failure.

The biggest reason for leaving Puspa at that time was not because of rumors of pellets used by the girl on him, but the threat of Yasmin about the high position that had been promised by the woman.

Fadli is not the type of man who believes in myths and mystical things. At that time he was dating Puspa because he really loved him.

Fadli's words about first love as a teenager were also true. The man began to like Puspa when he was still Junior High. His love may falter because they are separated for a long time especially with the presence of Yasmin in the young man's life. However, the seed of love in Fadli's heart grows again when he meets Puspa again.

Unfortunately, for a man with big ambitions like Fadli, love alone is not enough. He gave up the innocent girl's love for a position and success.

Now when he saw Puspa was in the same city as him, his heart began to waver. And Yasmin realized that. It was certain that the woman would not be willing if Fadli re-thought Puspa.

"I have to go home, I'll call ya later" Fadli gave a brief kiss on Yasmin's forehead and then left.

"I won't let you go!" Yasmin muttered after the departure of her lover.

Arriving at the apartment, Fadli immediately contacted his parents. Because of the busyness and Yasmin who was always attached to him, he did not have much time to just ask them the news.

"Mom, has Puspa long gone into town?" after making small talk, Fadli's question finally leads to Puspa.

"Puspa? Why are you asking him? Don't fuck with you, kid!" Fadli's mother seemed to understand the direction of his son's conversation.

"That's not it, ma'am, a few days ago I met Puspa here,"

Hearing Fadli's words, Niken immediately asked the husband who was sitting relaxing in front of the television.

"Sir, did Puspa go to the same town as Fadli?" asked the woman while holding her mobile phone.

"Where do you know to, Mom. Not that Puspa went with Raka, they were already planning to get married." replied his father Fadli.

"What's? Who would you marry?" Fadli who heard the father's words asked in a loud voice on the phone.

"Why are you, Fad? Don't tell me you're still expecting that girl!" niken said firmly.

At first Niken did not mind when Fadli was in contact with Puspa, even he had already approved the plans for his second marriage. He knew Puspa and his mother well. However, rumors about the science of pellets used by Puspa added with the raid of Puspa and Tejo in an empty house, making the woman lost sympathy for the dangdut singer girl.

"So right, Miss Puspa is getting married?" ask Fadli to make sure.

"Mommy doesn't know, Fad. Besides why are you still taking care of her? Remember you already have Yasmin. He has sacrificed so much for you so don't waste him!" Niken advised her son at length.

"Well, Fadli hang up, Mom."

After ending her conversation with Fadli, Niken approached her husband.

"Sir, I'm so scared yo!"

"Fear of opo to, Mom?"

"Hush, that's impossible. Actually you don't believe the rumors, ma'am."

During this time, Lukman his father Fadli as the village head could not do much about the rumors that caused Puspa was expelled from his village.

The science of shamanism is a crime that is not proven by facts and logic. Therefore he just kept quiet and let the citizens give social sanction to Puspa and his mother. As long as they do not commit anarchist acts to harm them.

"This father how to? Tejo has proof!"

"Let's go, but what Mbah Slamet can you believe? Just father Ndak sure he is a real shaman what are just shamans," Lukman replied while sipping coffee made by his wife.

"It's up to Mr. Wae if you don't believe. Anyway I don't want Fadli back with Puspa!" Niken left her husband with a sullen face.

***

At Fadli's residence, the man became increasingly upset to hear the father's words about Puspa's marriage plans with Raka.

"Say you love, until you are ready to rest at my feet. Turns out it's all a charade, Pus?" The man muttered as if he did not accept Puspa's treatment of him.

He forgot how he could leave the village girl with tears.

If only Raka did not get in the way at that time, Puspa would have officially become Tejo's wife. Even as the word escaped from the crocodile's mouth into the tiger's mouth. At least Puspa can now escape from both.

At Satya's residence, the man was sitting relaxing while playing a posel in his hand.

"Want me to make some coffee?" Puspa tried to take the heart of the master. It's been a month since he's lived there. As per the agreement he had to leave the house. However, Puspa did not know where to go after that. Moreover, he was still afraid that Raka would find him.

During his stay at Satya's house, Puspa felt safe because he also rarely left the house. Therefore he was trying to seduce Satya to accept him continue to work in the house.

"Hemm," Satya replied without speaking.

The girl was excited and rushed back to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. Before long he returned to the side porch of the house where Satya was sitting there.

"This, Sir. Please!" said the girl so sweetly while putting coffee on the table.

"Today is your first day officially working here, from now on I will pay you a monthly salary" said Satya.

Hearing Satya's words made Puspa speechless like a statue. His entire body did not move only his two eyes were blinking.

"Did you hear me?" satya asked loudly, making the girl realize from her shock.

"M-makasud my father can still work here?" tanya Puspa made sure that what he heard was not wrong.

"Yes. Do you disagree?" Satya gave a probing look at Puspa.

"What is this father talking about? Yo must I agree to, sir!" Because of the reflex almost Puspa patted his master's shoulder fortunately his consciousness was still awake so he paused it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Reflex" said Puspa as he closed his mouth. "Thank you very much, sir. I will work as well as possible. Excuse me." Without waiting for an answer from the master the girl ran towards the kitchen. Meanwhile, Satya just stared in wonder at him.

"Based on silly girl!" muttered Satya. Without a smile on her lips.

A few days ago, Satya's man gave information about Puspa. Everything about the girl's background is known by the detective.

From there Satya finds out that Puspa is not the bad guy he had been expecting. She was just an innocent girl who was blinded by love so her life was lost in the city.

A love story that is similar to his love story. They are left behind by the people they love.
