PELLET THE MIDWIFE

Expire

The Javanese Gending Square sounded boisterous from the Puspa residence. The neighbors had gathered to watch the marriage contract process of the widuan dangdut with the only son of the village chief's son.

In the room, Puspa was finished in makeup, the girl looked elegant with a white kebaya with a long scarf as a head covering. Likewise with the mother of the bride, Ningrum di dandani no less frenetic than the bride. Traditional Javanese clothes with a large bun on the head.they look so beautiful.

All residents have started to come to donate, some bring groceries and some make donations in the form of money.

In the village this custom has become a tradition downhill. They will give and give back to each other if the other neighbor holds a celebration as well.

"Raka hasn't come yet, Entin?" ask Ningrum. I don't know how many times he asked me the same question.

"Still on the road, Rum." said Entin.

"You look beautiful." Entin. Making Ningrum smile in shame. The woman rarely even dresses up.

Meanwhile, Puspa just fell silent. The girl did not know what she was feeling. Her lips might still be able to force a smile, but not with her heart.

What forced marriage can possibly go on? Puspa even intends to divorce shortly after the marriage occurred. 'Am I evil?' heart ingrained. 'But how else, I no longer love Fadli. Even hearing his name called me I don't like.'

"Are you nervous, Pus?" Entin whispered realizing Puspa's expression was unusual.

"Little bit" replied the girl slowly.

"That's a natural thing. Especially later on the first night, you will be even more nervous." Entin tried to flirt so that the girl could laugh a little.

It was not Puspa who laughed but the two women who were now in the girl's room.

"If that's for sure Bulek. I just haven't been in anything but the flood of sweat first .. hahahaha ...!" sahut one of the bride's fairies.

Laughter rang out from inside the bride's room. But they laughed to themselves because Puspa was just silent, their joking material made the red-lipped girl feel fed up.

"Bulek, which Raka?" Puspa tried to distract Entin otherwise the woman would talk more and more.

"You are the same as your mother nanyain Raka continues. He's still on the way, Pus!"

"Puspa, you are so beautiful ...!" From the outside a beautiful woman entered and immediately approached Puspa in the room. Andin, he came with Raka, the man who had been asked by Ningrum and Puspa.

Andin has undergone many changes since connecting with Raka. both are not people with a good past, but the past cannot be used as a benchmark to assess a person's future. Both Andin and Raka have buried their dark stories and are intent on starting a new, better life. Certainly together.

"Anden? You came with Raka?" Puspa looked at the woman with a beautiful dress on the body.

"Yes, who else is it?"

Entin already knew of her son's relationship with Andin so she wasn't awkward anymore as the woman greeted him and gave him a warm hug.

"You're staying over, Nduk?" ask Entin.

"Isn't papa, Mom?"

"Yes no papa, you'll sleep with Mom." Entin was enthusiastic about the presence of prospective ghosts. However, it is the woman who has been supporting her son in times of joy and sorrow. Entin is grateful now that Raka has become a more responsible man.

Their conversation came to a halt as a boisterous voice sounded outside. "The groom's here!" A neighbor stood at the door to tell.

Puspa began to sit unsettled. His palms even sweat." Entin and Ningrum splashed out to welcome the arrival of the besan group. Leave Puspa alone with Andin in that room.

"Aren't you papa, Pus?" Andin saw the unusual motion of Puspa. He did not look nervous because he was happy, but more like a person who wanted to escape from reality.

"Can I get out of here?"

A question that was greeted with a look of disbelief from Andin. "What do you mean?"

Puspa restlessly walked back and forth in the room. The closer the pledge was said, the more he felt regret. This regret even came before it all happened.

"Calm down, Pus! Maybe you're just nervous. That's ordinary!" Andin invited the girl to sit back to her place.

Outside, Fadli was already sitting in front of the ruler. The man looked handsome in a black and squat suit on the head.

"Give me the bride!" tell the ruler. He could not linger because there were other couples he had to marry after.

"In the meantime, Sir!" Entin got up from his seat and approached Puspa in his room.

"Come, Nduk!" bring Entin.

Puspa stared at Andin for quite a while. As if asking for help to take him away from there. But what can Andin do?

"Come, Mr. Penghulu is waiting!" Entin said again.

With a slow step, Puspa finally according to walk out of the room with in the coupler Entin and Andin. While Ningrum was sitting by her mother's side Fadli was staring haru at her daughter. He knows very well how to fill Puspa's heart. Rice has become a porridge. Entin had offered to cancel the wedding. Let himself bear the shame and anger of the family, as long as Puspa happy, but Puspa refused.

"You're beautiful, Pus." Fadli praised when Puspa was already sitting by his side. However, the girl just silently smiled not even.

"But we are beginning the jab of his Qabul!" Mr. Penghulu said.

Fadli's hand was stretched out after the ruler asked. The position closely occurs accompanied by a promise that will apply for a lifetime with a gold dowry weighing 20 grams and a set of prayer tools. "Cash!" A stomp marks Fadli's turn to say his part.

Puspa tears are unstoppable, not haru but a sign of rejection. But no one cares, including Fadli.

"Stop!"

A loud shout sounded from outside, instantly everyone turned towards the voice including Fadli and Puspa. At the end there Satya stood firmly in the company of two men in black jackets.

"Satya sir?" lirih Puspa could not believe it. Is it possible that he dreams while awake?

"Catch that man, sir!" Satya pointed at Fadli and the two men immediately ambushed Fadli and brought the man to stand up from his place.

Everyone was stunned by the strange sight that occurred. Why is Fadli the son of Pak Lurah treated disrespectfully by people they do not know?

"What's this?" Mr. Lurah moved from sitting approaching his son.

"Sorry, Sir. Brother Fadli should come with us to the office. He's committed a crime that led to his disappearance!" The man who was the police officer opened his voice.

"What?" Pak Lurah was flabbergasted by the words of the strapping man in front. "It can't be my son like that, sir! It's slander!" Hysterical niken.

"You can't just take my son!" Mr. Lurah started to get emotional. He said his son could not have done what he was accused of.

"We have solid evidence, sir. You better come to the office! We'll explain everything there!"

Fadli's silence proved the accusation true. "Sorry, Sir. Can I talk to my future wife for a minute?" Fadli.

"Well."

Fadli approached Puspa. "Sorry, Pus. I never intended to harm you. It was all a mistake. I even keep regretting it! Live happily!"

Puspa was silent a thousand languages. He didn't understand where Fadli was going. Wearing what?

The police car drove away, leaving the Ningrum residence. Leave a lot of questions in the minds of everyone present there.

Ningrum embraced Puspa to calm him down. The girl might look pitiful, but she instead felt as if she got an answer from each of her prayers. She's relieved.

"Sup ...!" Anita flutters into the arms of her best friend the girl arrives late with Rio.

"You coming, Nit?"

"Aren't you papa?" Anita asked back. "Yes" replied Puspa.

The whole community became rowdy. Wild thinking flourished in every head of them. Suppose that's what they do.

"What a pity, Puspa. He failed to marry again!" chirps a citizen.

"It looks like Puspa was cursed because he had used the use," replied the other residents.

"Rum, how about you face an accident because you have violated Mbah Slamet's orders?"

"Where do they know, Rum?" Entin whispered. It felt like Ningrum had never talked about it with anyone else why could the citizens know?

"Then I say goodbye, ma'am." The leader who canceled inaugurated the union of the two humans also said goodbye.

"Wait, Sir! Stay here!"

Satya who was silent in the company of Rio approached.

Ningrum looked at his daughter. What is the former employer Puspa doing?

Puspa stared fixedly at the man in front. It feels good to see him in good condition.

"I'll only ask you once and you'll have to answer!" Satya stared at Puspa intensely.

Plaque!

Rio hit the eel seeing the behavior of his best friend. "Why propose to such a girl?" The man muttered.

"What?" ask Puspa.

"Do you want to be my wife, Puspa Maharani?"

Puspa gasped, staring in disbelief. However, Satya was able to convince her heart with a loving look.

"Yes, I want to." said Puspa.

The man smiled. Then pulled Puspa's arm and took him back to sit in front of the ruler.

The procession of marriage contract also occurred by replacing the groom. with the dowry of a diamond ring wedding Puspa and Satya religiously valid.

***

Inside Puspa's room, the girl felt clumsy all happening so suddenly she didn't even know what to do.

"Sit down!" Satya patted the mattress next to him gesturing for the already legitimate woman as his wife to be by his side.

"Sorry, Pus. Because it's too late. I need to find evidence of Fadli's crimes!"

"No, you're on time!" Puspa.

"You didn't ask why Fadli was arrested by the police?" Satya was curious about Puspa and his mother, why were they silent when Fadli was brought by the police?

"For what? I don't care about him!"

"All right! Then me? Do you care about me?"

"I care" replied Puspa.

"Do you love me?"

"I love."

"really?"

"true."

"I love you too."

"Is that possible?"

"Why?"

"Because I'm just a country cat."

"The village cat .. I love him so much."

Satya carried Puspa in her arms. Ah .. it's a relief to know they are now valid in sacred bonds. It took a long time for the man to convince his feelings. And Puspa he first realized the contents of his heart. However, his social status made him not dare to dream of being with Satya. But destiny says something else. Love comes without asking. Their love story will begin. Tests and obstacles in the household are ready to face. Hopefully they can get through it all.

"I mean, Rio boy. Fadli who has harmed Puspa?" Entin stared in disbelief.

"Yes, Mom. Fadli deliberately paid those people to hurt, Puspa!"

"For what?" ask Entin again.

"Agar Bulek Ningrum increasingly believes in the words of Mbah Slamet Bulek. If Puspa doesn't marry Fadli soon then he'll be doomed." Anita added.

"And Bulek's origin knows, Mbah Slamet was paid by Fadli to say so to Bulek Ningrum."

"Open?" Ningrum.

"So all this time I've been tricked. You old man Bangka! Not gonna get him later!"

"Swimming Bulek ... Mbah Slamet was also taken by the police. He turned out that the shaman has been fooled a lot. Including Bulek!" Anita smiled bitterly.

"Yoah .. ngertio ngunu Ra Sudi I accepted Fadli's proposal. Poor daughter!" Ningrum regretted his stupidity.

grubbyak!

Everyone fell silent as a loud voice rang out from inside the bridal room.

"Rpus ...! You're not papa?" Ningrum's reflexes shouted with his loud voice.

"Bulek ki opo? Don't bother them, newlyweds!" Anita patted Ningrum's shoulder quite hard. While Arka and Rio were smiling meaningfully.

"No Popo, Mom. Tech's down!"

Inside Puspa's room beat her husband's shoulder. "What is this father, To? They must think of these macems!" Puspa was embarrassed. Though Satya accidentally nudged a kettle of water on the table when he was about to rise from his seat.

"Indeed why? We're legitimate, Pus!"

Puspa flinched as the man wrapped both arms around his slender waist.

"What do you want?" Puspa nervous.

"You want! But first don't call me that. From now on call me, Mas!"

"Mass?"

Puspa wanted to say many things about the name that he felt was still strange, but Satya first smothered him with a warm kiss that was able to make the woman speechless a thousand languages.

Two humans who have promised each other will love each other are now complacent, giving up each other's longing. Soluble in a halal relationship that will deepen the love between the two.

Outside, Anita still kept smiling. Funny about his mother Ningrum.

"When are we, Nit?" Rio's words made Anita instantly turn to the man beside her.

"What?" ask Nita.

"Like Satya and Puspa?"

"Married first!" reply Anita short.

"What's? Really?"

Getting a nod from the heart-wrenching girl Rio reflexively grabbed the girl in an embrace.

"Hey ... What are you doing?" Entin hysterical.

"What the hell, Bulek?" Anita sneers.

The terrace of the Ningrum house which is still decorated with boisterous bridal decor with the sound of laughter.
