64.

Destiny is a mystery. Where are we going? When's? With who? Sometimes something that has been planned so thoroughly can fall apart when fate says otherwise.

Puspa & Fadli. Two names are beautifully embedded in a light blue sheet of paper. All relatives and relatives have received invitations for the good news.

The bride's residence was already crowded with neighbors who began to make preparations for the wedding. In the village, the residents will mutual mutual assistance if one of them holds a celebration. Moreover, the party will be in the festive title for two days.

The women have started making various snacks that they will serve at the guest table. Not the same as in the city, all via order aka catering take care of.

It is good to live in the village, the intimacy between neighbors is still awake. One thing that is not fun is, everything we do will not escape the eye and ear of the neighbors. Think of it as a sign of their concern.

"Rum, Mr. Lurah, how much do you think?" chirp one of the women berdaster.

"Opo?" Ningrum.

"Yo must be a lot, Ningrum's proof to be able to make a massive celebration!" the other sahut.

There's just what the women are talking about, they always want to know whatever it is. Moreover, the plan is Ningrum will slaughter a cow for later events. Not cheap stuff, right? Must be a candidate to give a lot of funds.

"Where is the puspa, Rum?" Entin who came from outside asked.

"To the market, Ntin. He said there's something he should buy."

"lho .. prospective coke Iki piye to?" Susi who was peeling onions also spoke.

"You don't seem to know Puspa to, Ma'am? He can be told!"

In the market, Puspa was startled by the loud screams of Tejo. With a breath of orange-clad men chasing Puspa who was walking down the market.

"Your grandfather I'm calling you don't stop?" he said while breathing.

"What's wrong?"

"No popo." Tejo.

"what are you going to buy?"

"Don't be so familiar, Jo. Amused me!"

"We've always been familiar, Dek!"

Tejo pulls Puspa's hand towards a clothing store. The woman couldn't dodge because Tejo did it all of a sudden.

"What's up? Why pull me?"

Puspa removed the rough Tejo hand that was attached to his wrist.

"Select, Deck. Where are the clothes you like! I paid!"

"No need, Jo. I can still buy it myself!"

Both of Puspa's eyebrows were adrift, feeling astonished by the change in the man's attitude in front. He caught a sincerity from the tone of the man he had been reproaching all along.

"You're sane to, Jo?"

"Healthy my walafiat, Deck." Tejo smiled.

For Tejo there is no point in continuing to pursue Puspa, it is time to move on. Maybe fate didn't bless his dream. Release with iklas. If only Puspa knew, all night Tejo roared in the room after seeing his wedding invitation with Fadli.

"Why are you, Jo? Weird to know ora? So scared of me!"

Puspa slightly rewinded his steps.

"Sir, I've been saying you're married to someone else. As proof I want to give you a gift. Accept yo?"

Puspa finally agreed because he could not bear to see the face of the man he had long known.

"Yowes, I accept. But do you love your money?"

"No papa, Deck. It's not how much. I got a job in town. His salary is pretty big!" Tejo.

"Thank God then. Live a better life, Jo. I pray that you get the best soul mate who accepts you for who you are. Sorry yo if I've hurt your heart a lot!"

Feeling moved Tejo approached and would hug the girl in front. However, Puspa's hand was already clenched right in front of his face.

"You don't want jotos, you?"

"Discharge, Deck. I'm so moved." Tejo retreated from his position.

Hani was greeted with a full gaze of inquiry from the neighbors. The bride-to-be should stay at home, Puspa even wandered.

"Puspa you should be in pingit why even wander?" chirps a citizen.

"Sorry, Bude. I have to give you some important necessities!"

Puspa entered the house with a forced smile.

"After this you better not go out again, Pus. I'm ashamed of you in the neighbor's gunjing!"

"Come on, Mom."

Puspa immediately entered the room and dropped himself on the bed. His life has been inversely proportional now. Resign to fate and try iklas accept. At least he tried to be devoted to his mother.

"Can't you go home for my wedding, Nit?" The girl needs a friend to reduce the burden on her heart.

"I'm scared, Pus. Mother's debt has not paid off!"

"Is your job well?"

"Alhamdulillah, smoothly."

"Is he okay?"

"Who do you mean?"

"Satya sir, is she okay?" Puspa repeated his question.

"You better focus on your marriage, don't think about anything else!" Anita's upset. Remembering Satya's attitude that seems not to care about Puspa. Why did Puspa even ask about the man?

"All right ..." Puspa took a deep breath.
