Pursuing the Handsome Juragan Love

Nalendra POV

As usual, I'm busy taking care of my cattle pen and rice fields. While sitting near the goat pen, Pakdhe Totok came to me.

"For the Scouts, Pakdhe went to the Juragan's house. There was a woman who gave the oracle food, then put it on the doorknob" Pakdhe Totok told me.

"What's his name" I asked. I was a little surprised because there were usually no women who gave me food.

"His name is Reya, he just moved to runmah which is next to the Juragan house"

Turns out the new neighbor who moved in a few days ago, "Thank you for Pakdhe's info".

"Same - same Juragan, Pakdhe did not bother first" said Pakdhe Totok who walked away to the rice fields carrying sacks and sickles.

I became curious about the new neighbor, had he never heard rumors about me?

......................

When I got home, I saw a crackle hanging from the doorknob. Maybe it was food from a new neighbor that was meant by Pakdhe Totok.

I took the crackle and went inside the house, before entering I had a glance at the side house. Without me knowing, it turns out that the house has become more neat and clean.

I put the crackle on the table and went to take a shower. After the shower, I took the food I got and saw what it was. It turned out to be sponge cake, I brought the sponge cake to the front of the TV and ate the cake while watching TV.

It tastes pretty good as it turns out, it looks like the new neighbor is good at cooking.

......................

"Anu, excuse me, Nurse" arrived - there was a child who came to me while I was resting in the saung. I just looked at the boy, but my gaze made them tremble in fear. I've always seen scared kids when I meet with me.

"That's a Scout, we'd like to ask for help. Please help us to take Ms. Reya to the health center, she fell" the other child continued.

A reya? Isn't that about the new cup that gave me the sponge cake. Seeing those children who seemed worried about the new neighbor, I finally decided to help them.

"Come there" I said

The children looked happy when they heard what I said, and they took me to where the new neighbor fell.

There I saw a woman sitting on a rice field and holding her feet.

I walked towards the woman. When the woman poked her head out, I could clearly see the woman's face.

She looks so beautiful, she has beautiful eyes. It was as if there was a sparkle of stars trapped within his eyeballs. I immediately regained my mind and crouched down in front of him to see the condition of his legs.

"It's just a sprain. If you want, I can treat it now" I said.

That girl, ah no. I should call him Reya. Reya approved my words, and I carried her straight to the saung. It turned out that his body was very light, even I could carry him with one hand if I wanted to.

"Tu - put me down, I can walk by myself" said Reya with a bit stammering, it seems he held the shame of arriving - arrived I was carrying without telling him first.

"Don't make trouble, you can't walk on your own with that kind of foot. And I can't have you walking in this little rice field" I replied rather firmly.

After saying those words, I felt somewhat guilty for being rude to Reya. But, it is my habit to not like to be denied.

Arriving at the saung, I immediately lowered it. Didn't say anything to me when I put him down.

Without wasting any time, I immediately started to treat her legs. Maybe because of the pain, he squeezed my shoulder tight.

The weight is quite painful for me, it turns out that even though his body is small but his strength is quite strong.

After she tried her foot, she thanked me and apologized for squeezing my shoulder. I just kept quiet and didn't answer her words.

I remember with the sponge cake she sent me yesterday, I have not thanked her yet.

I thanked him for the cake yesterday and he instead offered to give me another cake, I immediately rejected the offer.

"Thank you for the cake" I said.

"Same - same Juragan. If you still want, later I can make it as a sign of gratitude for helping me" Reya replied.

"No need. If there's nothing else, you can go"

I didn't really like being close to women, so I immediately asked them to leave.

......................

Since our first meeting, he came to me often for help. I can only say yes because I feel a little sorry for him who lives alone in a new environment.

I don't know since when we started to get close, he also often brought me his cooking. I started to care about her situation, I never felt like this.

I started to like all the strange behavior, even though my mouth said it sucks but my heart would feel very happy.

But I was also worried about his safety, especially from Ratih. Ever since I caught Ratih scolding her, I've become more protective of her.

Not only once did Ratih threaten him, I had already warned Ratih but he seemed to ignore my words. He keeps bothering Reya.

At its peak as Reya's house burned down, I became even more afraid of her safety. What if he was inside the house when the fire broke out? I can't think of the consequences.

I know it was all the work of Ratih, I want to make Ratih get the reward for his actions. Unfortunately, Ratih is protected by his Father.

If I want to get rid of Ratih, I need to get rid of Juragan Broto first. I started to suppress Juragan Broto's business, he looked overwhelmed by my pressure. Until he was willing to throw his favorite daughter out of town.

I knew Juragan Broto wanted to calm me down by getting Ratih away from the village, but I wouldn't let him go.

If not immediately handled, Ratih can do reckless to Reya. Reya was a gentle girl, she would not be able to deal with that cunning Ratih.

Even when he found out that Ratih could not be prosecuted, he just resigned and did not follow to put Ratih in prison.

How can there be a woman as good as her? I promise to continue to protect her. I'll be better for her and I want to keep that sweet smile on her pretty face.

I've liked Reya too much, ah no. I was in love with Reya. Falling so deep that I don't know how to get out of this love abyss.
