The Love of Village Girl

Section 10

At Mr. Lurah's house.

Mr. Lurah and Mr. Santoso were having a serious conversation. Mr. Santoso is a confidant of Mr. Lurah, Pastri's father.

"We must match Tono and Lastri so that our potential is more developed" said Mr. Lurah.

"I'll go with you" replied Mr. Santoso.

"We can expand the shrimp farm. Isn't that Mr San ?" continued Mr. Lurah.

"Betul Sir. The production could be even bigger."

They laugh.

"Does Lastri want this, sir ?" santoso asked, starting to doubt.

"We just ask the child ? Is that right, sir ?"

"Yes yes. That's right."

Mr. Lurah immediately called lastri. That girl is actually pretty too. It is still more beautiful Sinta. But, if in makeup certainly not inferior to celebrities.

"Weih, ayu tenan princess Nak Lastri this." praise Mr. Santoso who made Lastri blush embarrassed.

"Look sit here."

Lastri sat near his father timidly.

"What's up, sir ?" ask Lastri.

"It's you know. You intend to match you with Mr. Santoso's son" said Mr. Lurah.

Forehead lastri wrinkle. Mr. Santoso's son has two men.

"That's you know, you want me to match up with Tono." continued Mr. Lurah.

Hearing that sentence Lastri was like being thrown into a paddle. His face immediately sparkled. His cheeks became red. There was nothing spoken from her lips, but her face radiated happiness. Lastri bowed while blushing in shame.

"Lha if this is our easy task" said Mr. Santoso.

"Ha ha's. We'll make it big sir." said Mr. Lurah.

The two shook hands and laughed loudly. Two people in a work agreement to expand their business by marrying off their children.

 

The Santoso house (the Tono house).

"Tono does not love Lastri pak." declined Tono when his father expressed his plan with Pak Lurah.

Cliche answer Mr Santoso.

"Your mother's father didn't love each other either. In fact, he can have two children. You and Pujo. You don't think our lives are happy ?" said Mr. Santoso debating Tono's answer.

Tono. There is no point in arguing your answer. But he also did not approve of his father's plan to match him with Lastri. Tono wants to meet Sinta immediately, conveying what her father's plan is. So, the words of the father at length were not heard at all. It's like listening to a silent movie. There is a visual but no sound.

After his father finished talking, Tono immediately met Sinta.

"I want to be betrothed to Sin" said Tono Lirih. Sinta looked surprised. But then you can control yourself. Marriage is common in his village.

"Who are you with ?" asked Sinta in a trembling tone.

"Lastri." replied Tono briefly.

Both silent. Dissolved in each other's grief.

"Sin, how about we just get married !" tono said breaking the silence.

"How can. Surely your father does not agree." Sinta chimps.

"Well, siri." said Tono.

Sinta. He also did not want to lose Tono.

"Was. Later if Mr. Santoso knows, it can be complicated the problem" said Grandpa Sinta when they both expressed his plan.

"It's not that easy. The child who will be present in your life, his existence is flawed in the eyes of the law. You better be sincere with that matchmaking. After all love does not have to have each other." so scorned Grandpa Sinta.

But Tono was determined.

"Please help us, Cake. I love Sinta." Tono said.

Grandpa Tono glanced at Sinta. A ray of hope also emanated from his eyes.

"What about Nek ?" sinta's grandfather asked the grandmother who had just been quiet.

"It's up to Grandpa." said Grandma.

"Sir !" sinta protest withstood disappointment.

For a long time they were all silent. I can't find a way of peace for all of them.

"Grandpa doesn't want us to fornicate, does he ?" chirps Tono broke the silence.

Grandfather was shocked by Tono's words. So too with Grandma. However, they did not want their granddaughter to be trapped in such a condition.

Finally Sinta and Tono married siri. Mr. Jodi joined as a witness, although actually the marriage still leaves problems.

Life goes on as usual, it just flows. In the afternoon Tono visited Sinta at her house, while at night Tono went home to her parents. Such a way of life can disguise that they are actually married. It is different with Sinta. Sinta's stomach slowly began to grow. When examined by a doctor it is increasingly clear that Sinta is pregnant.

"I'm pregnant sister" Sinta told Tono.

"Thank God, I'll be Father" replied Tono.

"Thankful how. People know I'm not married." protested Sinta.

"Prophe Sin, we will find a way out" said Tono.

"Patience how Brother, the stomach is growing and tam knows patience."

They're speechless. Hearts of those who speak. Without them noticing their existence and conversation, there are those who pay attention. Someone who seems to be paying attention to them intentionally. After Sinta and Tono's conversation was over, the person who was eavesdropping on their conversation immediately disappeared.

It was the last conversation Sinta and Tono had. Since then, Tono has disappeared without doubt. Tono never visited Sinta again. That's what made Sinta so upset.

"If it's like this, what about Sin ?" said Grandpa.

"You become rich in lust. Sweet as banished." continued grandfather.

Sinta was crying in her Grandma's arms. His heart was broken and confused.

"Try me tomorrow to Tono's house. Find out where he is" Grandpa said next.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

The sound of the door knocking.

"Grandfather, there are guests outside" Grandma said.

Grandpa went to see the guests outside.

"Grandfather Wongso, this is an invitation from Mr. Lurah" said the letter's introduction.

"Oh yes. Thank you, Jo. Go in first." answered Grandpa.

"No need for cake. There are still many letters I have to deliver."

"alright. Thank you, yeah."

Soon Grandpa read the invitation letter from Mr. Lurah. Instantly his face flushed red, as if holding a great anger.

"Hmmm." said Grandpa growling. Like a roaring lion.

"What's the cake ?" ask Grandma. Grandpa gave me the invitation letter.

"Lha is" said the grandmother.

"Why grandma ?" ask Sinta.

"Read it yourself."

"Sir Tono." Sinta shrieked. Then fainted.

"Sin ! Sin ! Ouch. This is Sinta why Kek ?" shout Grandma.

Knowing that his grandson had fainted, Grandpa also panicked.

"Try to sleep in bed. Loosen clothes. Let his breath be relieved." Grandpa ordered repeatedly.

"I used to remind you. Sinta is not listening. Just obey the will of his heart. If it's like this, tell me what." Grandpa.

"Had it been, it was taken care of first Sinta. Let it roar." said Grandma.

"Try calling Nak Jodi, who knows can provide a solution." continued Grandma.

Shortly thereafter Jodi arrived. Jodi already knows what happened. Grandpa told me before Jodi got home.

"Try on perfume her nose nek !" said Jodi sir.

"No perfume sir."

"Then use this wind oil. Usually stimulates the nerves of the nose." continued Jodi.

Soon Grandma dripped some wind oil on Sinta's nose.
