PELLET THE MIDWIFE

Proposal

Ningrum was lying weakly on the bed. Meanwhile, Puspa painstakingly stomped his feet.

"There's this Mom, make me worry!" Puspa muttered.

Not eating all day made the woman weak until she lost consciousness.

"It's anget tea to drink first!" Entin gave Ningrum a glass of tea.

Puspa's loud voice made the neighbors arrive as the girl asked for help.

"Wes, Ningrum is no longer papa. You guys can go home. Thanks!" Entin spoke while standing at the door.

"That's all ...!" One of them grumbled out the door.

***

After Puspa accepted the marriage, the Fadli family officially visited their modest home with RT sir with them. Their goal is none other than to apply for Puspa officially. Not many just the five that also includes the RT sir.

Ningrum's normally deserted home had now turned boisterous. Ningrum invited some neighbors as witnesses.

Puspa was silent sitting in front of the dressing table while staring at the mirror. Is this the end of her love story? The girl with the kebaya smiled bitterly. It's funny the way his life is. He used to crave marriage with Fadli, but now imagining sitting with the son of the pariah sir alone can make him feel fed up.

"You're so pretty, Puspa!" Entin said as he continued to stand in the doorway. Wanted to accompany the girl, but her duties in the kitchen were waiting.

"Had you been married to Raka, Bulek would have been so happy to have a daughter-in-law as beautiful as you," Entin was comforting the girl who was only silent at the most.

"Why didn't Bulek ask Raka to kidnap me from here!" Puspa smiled wryly.

"You are lo. My son may not be in your mother's arms."

The event will start immediately at Puspa asked out of the room. The beautiful face was bowed sitting among the women after previously greeting the hands of the future mother-in-law.

Fadli smiled in a deep smile and felt a deep happiness. Finally the desire to invite the girl of the heart is close to being in sight.

"Where, Puspa? You accepted this proposal?" ask RT as a representative of the male side.

Puspa was silent making Ningrum restless. "David, Nduk!" ningrum whispered in his daughter's ear.

Everyone present also felt nervous waiting for an answer from Puspa. Why is the girl lingering? It is impossible to imagine if he says no. There will be riots in Sumber Sari Village. The application of the son of Pak Lurah to the girl of the former biduan was rejected raw. It will be horrendous news.

Fadli's hands until sweating waiting for Puspa to open his voice. The gaze never turned from the girl sitting opposite to him. 'I beg Puspa to say if you agree!' The man is inward.

"Where, Puspa? Don't make Mas Fadli wait! Later to go hunting in samber people you know!"

Mr. RT is trying to make a joke to melt the atmosphere that feels stiff.

Surely the people present laughed a little at the words of the chairman of the neighboring pillars.

"Bisamillah .. I accept this proposal," said Puspa in a soft voice almost inaudible.

"Goddessa ..."

Everyone is grateful. Puspa said the sentence they expected. Ningrum was the happiest person among them. Remembering how Puspa refused all this time made him stout. However, Puspa had already broken his fear.

Fadli and Puspa were both sitting at the side of the room of course the other residents were still there. There were many things they had to talk about, but they did not have much space and time to discuss everything.

"Thank you, Pus. You've given me a chance. I promise to make you happy!" A series of promises the man made to convince his partner.

***

In the city, Anita was riled up. The news from Puspa about the proposal was able to make him unable to close his eyes. "Why did he marry Fadli? It is clear that he loves Satya. What are you, Puspa?" Anita regrets Puspa's decision which she feels is not right.

"Did I tell Mr Satya? But for what? He doesn't even seem to care about Puspa." Anita's getting into a dilemma.

"Opo, Nit? Want to get married?" Surprised Marni raised her voice without realizing her master heard her voice.

Anita could not keep it to herself so she decided to contact Marni by phone.

"Same Fadli? How to puspa? Bad men are so willing to be made husbands!" Marnie sounded emotional. It is still clear in memory of the events of that night when Puspa returned home in a state of crying with torn clothes and a face full of wounds. Why would he accept Fadli now? After what the man did to him.

Satya clenched tightly restraining the tightness in the chest. It did not feel willing that the girl was in Fadli's possession, but what right he was a nobody for Puspa.

Unable to hold it anymore, Satya grabbed the car keys and then passed away.

The night was getting late, the black car was speeding between the darkness of the night. There was nothing the man could do but try to entertain himself. The car stopped in front of a bar. Satya stayed in her car for almost five minutes.

"What did you say?" The man spoke on the phone.

"I'm waiting for the next news!"

After the short conversation was over, Satya turned on the engine of the car and left the bar for her home.

At the Puspa residence, all the guests have returned to their homes. Only Entin and Susi remained there to help clear up the rest of the event.

Puspa was busy in the kitchen is not good if he just kept quiet. "Just rest, Pus. Let us wash the dishes" Susi said.

"Rest opo to, Bude. You're weary than I am,"

"Yowes ..." Entin. Won't win arguing with the girl.

"You're happy to, Pus?" Entin asks sensitive questions not in time.

"Yo it's definitely Puspa happy to, you're this opo to, Ntin?" Susi who realized the change in Puspa's face nudged slowly the woman's arm that could not keep the speech.

"If Mom is happy, I am happy too" replied Puspa briefly.

Ningrum who was standing at the side of the table took a breath and threw it away roughly. 'Forgive Mom, Nduk. I just want you to be happy.' Ningrum.

"We're home yo!" The two women went home after cleaning the kitchen.

"Yes ... matursuwun yo, you guys have helped me!" Ningrum could not hide his fatigue.

"Together."

After everyone went home, Puspa entered the room to rest. Not only did his body feel tired his inner self felt the same way.

"You're asleep, Pus?" ningrum asked from behind Puspa's room door.

Not getting a reply the woman passed to her room. Inside the room Puspa was filled with tears. Weeping for a marriage that has not even happened yet.

The gaze continued to be fixed on the flat object lying on the bed. 'Did I just call her?'

The finger also grabbed a black object. Several times sliding the screen, the thumb stops right at one name in contact. Satya Sir.
