PELLET THE MIDWIFE

The dag dig dug der

"Sorry Yo, Pus. I took care of you" Anita sat opposite Puspa in her room.

"No, to. I'm just glad you're here, but why all of a sudden?"

Anita told me how she got into town. The two girl's parents were not people to be with, they only worked as laborers. After her father fell ill and could not work Anita became the backbone of the family.

Being a midwife, not every day get a gig job so that his income is not enough to finance their lives. Moreover, his father also needed medicine that was not cheap. His mother had to borrow some money from Bejo, a loan shark in their village.

Bejo gives interest that is not small, the debt is accumulating not to mention added with interest, making them more difficult to pay it off.

With sly sense, Bejo gave a way out that benefited both sides, he said. Debt is considered paid off as long as Anita wants to be a wife, the third wife more precisely. With tears Anita refused. There is no other way though heavy Anita finally chose to run away leaving her parents who were in trouble.

Anita is determined to find work to pay off all that debt. And only Puspa was his acquaintance who was wandering in the city, lucky Ningrum was willing to give Puspa address in the city.

"Pus, can I borrow some money? You haven't bought the medicine when I was living, you must be confused,"

"Let's just relax, I still have savings, you'll send them all to pay off Kang Bejo,"

"Really, iki?"

"Come on,"

The two girls also hug each other, Puspa did not expect if Anita his best friend had more difficulties than him. Anita has helped him a lot so Puspa certainly will not stay silent to see his best friend in trouble.

"I'll find work, Pus," Anita said excitedly.

"Opo men?"

Puspa questions dampen that spirit, because Anita is also confused about what work in the city while she is just a high school graduate.

"You wait here, I'll talk to Mr. Satya!" Puspa got up from sitting and intended to meet the master.

"What do you want?"

"Yes, to. Relax wae!"

It was getting late and Satya was already in her room. Lucky the man didn't come out tonight so Puspa could meet him.

Before meeting Satya, Puspa confirmed the whereabouts of the man to Marni. Because he also did not know whether his employer was at home or out.

"Mom, is Satya sir home?"

"So the hell I saw in the room, but don't know yo when you came out, why?" Marni was wondering why Puspa asked her master when the night was late.

"No, Popo, there's important business I need to talk to him about,"

"Tomorrow, it's already tonight!"

"No iso, Mom. Must now!"

"Yo wes sak karepmu, I don't follow you if you rampage later,"

"Quick wae!"

Puspa walked slowly towards the master's room. In his heart he was also nervous, but he could not wait until tomorrow morning.

Geck!

Geck!

Two slow taps and no answer from inside the room.

Puspa intends to knock again this time he will be harder because maybe Satya did not hear.

The door opened when Puspa had raised his hand, lucky he could control his hand otherwise he would get angry because he was shaking the face of the master.

"What's wrong?"

Puspa stared, looking at Satya who was leaning against the door. The man looked handsome and handsome even though he only wore a short shirt and knee-length pants.

Puspa quickly realized his initial intention to go to the room of his handsome employer.

"Sir, what's in the office not a job?" Puspa tried to neutralize his heartbeat and keep talking naturally.

"Why? You don't want to clean the house anymore?"

"It's not me, sir. But Anita. He needs a job, no papa if he's a janitor there,"

As per Anita's education, only cleaning service is suitable for her. That's what Puspa thinks.

"You guys, why is it so good to be a cleaner? Is there no higher goal?"

Spontaneous remarks from Satya made Puspa want to refute it. The man in front of him lightly pointed. Who wants to live in this world? They also do not want to work lowly. If possible they also want to be successful like other women out there.

"Mother insulting?" Puspa brought his body closer to the man who crossed both arms in the chest. Puspa did not accept the man's words.

"Who? I'm just talking facts" Satya deliberately teased the girl.

"Not everyone is born into the Sultan's family like a father. We also want to be successful but our parents can't. If you know how it feels to not be able to play because you have to help parents sell? How sad to see another friend continue their school, while we have to slam bones just for a mouthful of rice ..." Puspa never stop talking telling the story of his childhood poisons that are not known by Satya.

"Alright, I'm sorry," said Satya sincerely.do not bear to see Puspa who began to shed tears.

"Thankfully, the future wife of the Father is a woman of high degree, educated and successful," somehow Puspa suddenly talked about Pamela. Satya's words made him realize the difference in status between himself and Pamela was too far away. It was very self-destructive if she put her heart on the man who was now standing straight before her.

"Who do you mean?" Satya stared fixedly at the girl in pajamas before her.

"Who else? Pamela. She is beautiful, educated, comes from a distinguished family and ..."

Unfinished Puspa with his words about Pamela, Satya suddenly silenced the girl's mouth with a palm.

"You've been talking too much!" lirih the man while looking closely at Puspa's two bulging eyes.

The action that Satya did was able to make Puspa's heart seem to stop pumping, immediately his breathing felt restrained.

Quickly the girl broke away and rewinded the steps of the man before her, the distance between the two was so close that Satya could hear the roar of her heart.

"Well, no papa if there's no vacancy for Anita, let her find a job somewhere else, Excuse me!" Puspa turned around and ran down the stairs.

To Satya the girl's behavior was really funny. The man did not realize that it was late in the charm of the village girl.

"Basic kayak!" he muttered while smiling.

Meanwhile, Puspa still has trouble regulating his breathing, Shame he hides his face behind a blanket.

"What's wrong with you, Pus?" ask Marni wonder.

"Congratulations, Mom,"

"Loh ... You don't talk to me, sir?"

"Already,"

***

In the morning, Satya was ready to leave for the office, as if the man would miss breakfast at home.

"Puspa, how? " Anita codes Puspa while she is busy in the kitchen.

"I tried, but the bike failed" replied Puspa lethargic.

"Yowes, no papa. I'll try to find it somewhere else,"

Anita also helps with homework, she can't possibly stay there for free she will also help.

"Where is Puspa, Mom?"

"In the kitchen, sir,"

"Call him, Mom!"

"Good!"

Marni who was cleaning the middle room immediately ran towards the kitchen.

"Puspa, you're called, sir!" marni is in a hurry.

"Is there a pa to, Mom?"

"Hurry there!"

"But I'm busy lo, ma'am," Puspa looked for excuses. After last night it was a shame to meet the man.

"Wes let me continue, you want to be fired, opo?"

Puspa washed his hands and walked slowly to the living room. Satya is seen sitting on the sofa with her cell phone in her hand.

"You want to make me late, Pus?"

"M-sorry, Sir. What's up, huh?"

"Tell Anita from tomorrow she can work in the office, but only as a cleaning service. Because he's just a high school graduate, I can't give you a better job than that,"

"really?" Puspa. "Thank you, Sir. You are the best in the world" he said praising.

"Now you say that, you forget who lectured me last night?" satya Syndir.

"Sorry, sir," said Puspa, feeling bad.

Satya moved and rushed to the car that was parked in front of the terrace. Not until his hand opened the car door Puspa voice stopped him.

"Wait, Sir!"

Satya looked back and saw Puspa standing in the doorway.

"What's wrong?"

"There is nothing I want to say" the girl hesitated.
