The Inheritance and Leaning of the Headstone

Chapter 14 Mbok Darmi

Mila returns home after hearing Frans' proposal for her. He's confused how?

On the one hand, he hated his family. On the other hand, there is a mandate from Mbah Karti to guard his legacy.

Mila sat down and pensively. Mbok Darmi came to give boiled cassava.

"What the hell do you think Mil is? Eat this cassava, it's still an angel" said Mbok Darmi and put the cassava on the table.

"If you're confused again Mbok,"

"Why? What's the problem?"

"Frans proposed to Mila. Mbok knows no, Mila really hates their family. But said Mr. Wito, so that Mila can save their property, namely, by marrying one of their families. Mila was so confused," said Mila kept thinking about it since then.

"Frans is pretty good, he also looks different from his brother. Maybe you should consider the lights. You don't have a candidate yet. You also deserve to be married," said Mbok Darmi when he remembered that Mila's peers and even his son had Kindergarten.

"According to Mbok?"

"Yes Mil. If you don't get married, then you'll be lonely in the old heart. If Frans proposes to you, marry him,"

"Alright Mbok, if it's the best according to Mbok Darmi. Mbok has been like Mila's own mother since both of Mila's parents died. Only Mbok where Mila shares his joys and sorrows,"

Mila said then leaned his head on Mbok Darmi's lap.

Mbok Darmi stroked her hair and prayed inwardly for Mila's happiness.

Frans went into her sister's room. And will say his wish to marry Mila. The village girl who had already attracted her heart with the simplicity she had.

"Sister, I'm getting married to Mila, this month, get a good heart" Frans said, sitting next to her brother.

"What's? That girl? Are you blind? You went far to Japan? Why don't you bring all the girls from sakura country? You're gonna marry a village girl who doesn't go to school and work as a maid? Are you out of your mind!?" Alex was shocked and angry at his sister's words.

"Women there are different from girls here, sister. I like village girls like Mila. She doesn't go to school, but her heart is good,"

"Sister will find a girl worthy of you. Not willing sister, you married a girl like Mila. What can you be proud of?"

"No brother, thank you. But I just want Mila,"

"Frans," Alex choked in the throat.

Frans then left her brother's room. Sinta entered with a big smile. She had just bought a nice jewelry necklace.

She'll show her husband.

"Mas, good, no?"

"Lumayan," Alex replied without looking over.

"Cock is just good. And you didn't see it. This is the latest model right now,"

"I knew. But there's more to it than all that. Frans is getting married. And he chose Mila to be his wife,"

"What's!? Mila!? That vane girl. Ohh no Alex. He can't be part of our rich family,"

"Frans won't listen to my advice. You're the only one talking to him" said Alex in despair.

Sinta then took over to advise Frans. Frans did not want to obey him.

Every day Sinta always said the ugliness of Mila's attitude. He was even going to steal Mbah Karti's treasure. But all of that is useless. Frans did not waver one bit.

He stays in his stance. Until so unable to shake Frans' faith, Sinta met smart people in a faraway area, at the foot of Mount Intan. She is a remote village, Sinta asks for a talisman so Frans hates Mila.

Sinta then went home from there with her husband and put the amulet in Frans' room.

And the results are starting to show. Two weeks before their wedding, Frans begins to look less after Mila.

"What's wrong with my body. I felt my body go limp" Frans said holding onto a chair in his room.

Mila was waiting for Frans at her house. After Mila said to agree to marry him, then they began to be close and familiar.

Today, Frans promised to come and eat Mila's cooking. Mila had gone to great lengths, cooking for them to eat. Frans did not look like he was coming.

An hour passed, Mila got tired of sitting inside and finally sat on the porch.

Waiting Frans.

"I'm hungry, did he forget?" mila whispered to herself.

Three hours passed. Because the waiting did not come and Mila also did not want to go to Frans' house. Then he ate his own food.

Frans did not come.
