PELLET THE MIDWIFE

Chapter 5. Stay In One Room

For more than two hours I decorated myself. At this meeting, I should look more beautiful and charming. Coming home from the streets of Fadli should already be my lover.

I was even ready, had Fadli invited me to marry. Although I think my age is still too young to undergo a household hick, but as long as it is with Fadli I will live it happily.

In the village, girls my age are already married. Not a few of them are already carrying children. Only me and a few girls are still single, including Anita.

I don't understand the way the villagers think. They consider the age of 20 as the final limit for a girl to get married. Above that age they will be called old virgins. And I belong in it.

If other girls choose to escape by venturing into the city, then I choose to ignore their words. What care? the important thing is that I don't ask them to eat.

"Pus, even if Mom supports your relationship with Fadli, doesn't mean you can be reckless. You must keep your honor!" Mother warned me before I left.

"Yes, Mom. Puspa understands, ojo worried ?" I tried to calm my heart. After that, I don't know what will happen either.

"Where are you going, To?"

"Puspa, you don't know yet, ma'am."

Fadli would take me for a walk today, but he didn't say where we were going.

Just imagining it makes my heart beat. Which girl is not stubborn when going alone with a man of love? My palms were sweating from nervousness.

While waiting for Fadli's arrival, I sat on the terrace. My mind drifted far away, remembering the power of Mbah Slamet. What science did the old man hold, so easily conquering Fadli for me.

Mother is also ready with rice pecel merchandise. As usual, the residents scramble to buy rice pecel as a breakfast menu.Little afternoon, all the merchandise of the mother has been sold.

Take it easy, Mom. If I'm already Fadli's wife, I no longer need to sell like this.

"Puspa ... early in the morning is beautiful. Where you going?" I don't know how many times I've been there.

Villagers are so, happy to take care of other people's business. I plan to move to the city when I get married. That way there will be no annoying mouth-mouths.

"You're going for a walk, ma'am." I replied with a smile. Otherwise, they would have gossiped that I was arrogant.

Tin!

Tin!

The sound of the car horn made us who were present at the place immediately turn towards the sound. Fadli slightly opened the car window, revealing his handsome face from inside.

"Blogo ... That's not his son, Yu?" The mothers instantly became boisterous due to the presence of Fadli. What would happen if they found out that young man had come to pick me up? I can't wait to see their expressions.

"Let's go, it's Mas Fadli, would you like to buy pecel rice? But kok yo bring a car, wong deket," said another woman.

I immediately approached Mom to say goodbye. "Puspa, go first yes, ma'am,"

"Be careful, Pus. Remember that mommy's agent!" His whisper was right in my ear.

"Come, Mom!"

I rushed over, pity Fadli was waiting. "First, Mothers," I said to the women who were staring in wonder at me.

I immediately got into Fadli's car, and sat in the front seat next to him. From inside the car I waved my hand at Mom. It was obvious that the women were jealous.

As far as I know they also have a daughter, they must be jealous of me seeing me with Fadli.

Cars drove fast through the village streets. "Where are we going, Fad?" Realizing this direction out of the village, I asked him.

"We're going to the city" Fadli replied with a faint smile. To town? Why is it that far? I didn't bring anything, just a small bag with some paper money and a cell phone.

"What, not distance? Why don't we go around the regent's office?" my proposal.

"You've been there a lot, Pus. So now I'm taking you out of town. Sometimes you also have to see the crowds out there."

fadli's words have a point, all this time I rarely come out of the village, just menguprek in there. 

"Don't papa go both like this?" What I mean is Yasmin, isn't Fadli afraid that the city's women are jealous and angry?

"I don't have a problem, Pus. What are you about? If you object we will turn around," he replied while staring meaningfully.

"No, I'm happy. When else can I take a walk?"

Fadli smiled at my answer. Of course I don't mind, it's a moment I've been waiting for a long time.

There are many places we visited in the city. Fadli is indeed a romantic man.His treatment of me further adds to the love in this heart.

We stopped by a playground and tried various rides. I take photos at every moment. Surely many will be envious when they see my media social account later.

For the time being, I installed it as a story' in the chat app. My photo while holding Fadli's hand, only his hand that I photographed deliberately let those who saw become curious.

Sure enough, not until five minutes have many chat messages that come in. I didn't open those messages right away because I was with Fadli.

We were in a simple restaurant. Actually Fadli wanted to take me to a restaurant, but I refused. With the reason at home eating will be more exciting.

Fortunately, Fadli agreed. Not that I have never been to a restaurant, I used to eat at the place of the rich man, when we gig around the regent's office.a simple restaurant anyway, he said, not the same as in the city.

From my experience, I would rather eat at a simple restaurant on the side of the road than at a restaurant.

Actually, I also know that Fadli's phone kept vibrating, but he kept turning it off. It was as if he was reluctant to take the call. Perhaps, as it continued to sound he finally picked it up.

"Two servings yes, mbak!" My love to the shopkeeper. This heat will be fresher if you eat fruit, so I ordered raw rice.

Not long after, Fadli returned. Something changed on his face, he looked annoyed. "Aren't you papa, Fad?" I asked while looking hard at him.

"No papa, Pus. There's a bit of a problem where I work" he replied casually.

Right, I don't know about Fadli's work yet. From the news I heard, after graduating from college, Fadli built a business in the city. The effort was very advanced even though he had not opened it for long. However, it is not my rank, it would be inappropriate if I asked him that.

"Feed first, cold hunt," I shifted the cup of rawon sauce in front of Fadli. There were many chairs in front of me, for some reason this man chose to sit beside me. Makes my heart flutter.

I kept watching Fadli eat. He was different from many of the young men I knew. The smell of his body was fragrant, his makeup was also neat. It makes my heart shake every time I look at it.

Very different from most of the young people in the village. Their bodies smell of cigarette smoke and nyong-nyong oil that melts into one. Makes me feel sick and sick.

My appetite was gone.

Why do I remember unnecessary things.

"You, don't eat, Pus? Do I want a bribe?" said Fadli while giving a seductive look. 

Is ... She instead seduced in a time like this, making me even more fascinated. If only Fadli really loved me, not because of the pellet study from Mbah Slamet. Is all that possible? No, he already has a wife.

By late afternoon, we decided to go home. I must have been in and out of the house because I was worried. My body feels tired and my calves feel stiff. Hopefully quickly until home so you can ask for a massage with Mom.

Tiredness, plus a full stomach makes me sleepy. Unknowingly I fell asleep in the car. May Fadli understand.

The sound of rain drops on the windshield woke me up. "Rain, Fad?" ask me while squinting my eyes. "Yes, Pus. Sleep again!" Fadli said with a sweet smile. I might get diabetes after this.

"Be careful, the mistress, Fad. Slippery road!" Drowsiness makes me digress in the talk. I subconsciously ruled over Fadli, as if he were my husband.

"OK," replied Fadli manut.

Such a supportive atmosphere, made me fall asleep very soundly. No matter what Fadli has to stay awake for our safety.

"Puspa ... !" I heard Fadli calling my name. With weight I opened my eyes. "Have you arrived?" askaku while fixing the sitting position.

"Yet. Sorry, we have to get down. My car broke down" said Fadli. "What's? A strike? How can?" I don't think, a car this good why break down?

"Come on, let's go down first yeah," he asked. I'm trying to understand the situation. Since I woke up my mind was still a little dazed.

"Where are we?" I asked after looking around. A place I don't know at all. It seems to be far from the village.

"We're still in the suburbs, Pus," Fadli first went out and picked up the umbrella that was in the trunk. "I stared intently at him, where would he take me after this?

I got out of the car, and walked over to Fadli, because it had to be the same umbrella.

"What now, Fad?" I asked after we got to the store. It just so happens that the store is still open. Fadli walked in to ask the store owner.

Not long after he came out. "Where?" I'm just impatient. "Say there is an inn near here, Pus," said Fadli. Whahuh? an inn? It means we'll stay and not go home.

"So we can't go home, Fad?"

"Sorry, Pus. Because the street rain is so quiet. I can't just leave my car. Looking for a repair shop either. We'll stay over and find a solution tomorrow morning." Bring along.

"But .." I said doubtfully.

"Don't worry, we'll book two rooms, okay!"

"Not so, I just thought Mom, she must be worried,"

"You just call, Pus!" Fadli gave advice.

"Can't, Fad. Mom's phone is on the counter because it needs to be fixed,"

Fadli seemed to think. "Is there no other number? Like that neighbor."

What Fadli said was true, I could contact other people and Anita was what was on my mind at the time.

"What's? Are you the same as Fadli? How can?" Anita nyerocos on the phone.

Thank goodness he understood, after I explained our circumstances.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Bulek Ningrum. Be careful, take care!" Like Mom, she reminds me. They think I'm going to do something stupid, of course I can take care of myself, like I've been doing all along.

"Have you?" Ask Fadli after I turn off the phone. "Already," I replied slowly.

We also walked to the inn in question, thank goodness the place is not far just across the street.

"Sorry, Mas. There was only one room left" said the innkeeper.

Take a room? How's this? I haven't been in there yet, my hands have been sweating from nervousness.
