Love, take my side
The Charm of the Young Widow

In a shop at the end of the village. Danny was bored. Many times he saw the phone screen hoping there was a message directing himself to the house occupied by Anggita. He waited nearly two hours. But the message that went into his phone. There was no message from Nia. Danny has not realized that in the village there is no internet network.

Waiting is something that hardworking people like Danny hate. Suppose he knows where Anggita's house is. He would have come straight to that house. Danny took a deep breath and then his finger tapped on the wooden bench he was sitting on. The visitors of his friend's shop chatted already home one by one. Now only himself and the shopkeeper who is now asleep on the bench.

Danny breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the movement of a girl walking towards him. Even though the girl is far away. Danny could already recognize that the woman was Nia. And it's true. Nia was getting closer to the face that was made as sad as possible.

"How is. Is he ready to meet me?" danny asked after Nia was in front of him.

"Sorry brother. I didn't manage to persuade Anggita. He was furious and disappointed in me."

Danny took a deep breath. His face showed a disappointed face. He had already sacrificed time and energy to come to this village but it seemed like his sacrifice was in vain.

"That means we go home, yeah" said Danny quietly. Actually it could be that Danny forced Nia to bring herself to Anggita's house but He did not want to force Anggita to meet with him. Danny understands. If Anggita must have suffered because of the attitude of her cousin.

"But a lie," said Nia toned and smiling proudly. Danny who was previously disappointed now also smiled happily.

"Awas. How dare you prank me" said Danny with a smile. Nia has managed to prank herself. He put both his hands on his waist. Danny was not angry.

"Come on. don't talk too much. Later Anggita changed her mind again," said Nia while pulling Danny's hand. There is no tension between the two. Nia who was easily familiar with others made the two like two people who had known for a long time.

"Awhile, I picked up the bag first," said Danny then turned to pick up his bag located in the village.

Arriving in the courtyard of the house occupied by Anggita. Danny looked at the house and around first. A very simple house with a view of tall and green trees. A large red motorbike parked in the courtyard caught his attention. But Danny didn't ask Nia about it.

Danny opened his shoes after hearing a greeting from inside the house.

"Women, how are you?" danny asked, extending his hand.

"Good news," Anggita replied to receive a helping hand from Danny.

After Danny and Angita shake hands. Danny glanced at the man sitting in front of Anggita. Danny was very sure if the man was the owner of a large motorbike parked in the yard.

The haughty and cold attitude that was inside Danny finally appeared as well. He sat on a rattan chair without any welcome that had a house to sit on. Next to her Nia was also sitting. Nia noticed the man sitting in front of Anggita. He doesn't know the guy. But when viewed from the uniform. That man was a civil servant.

Danny sat with his right leg on his left. His calm demeanor seemed to indicate that he was not an indiscriminate person. Not without reason he did that. Danny was well aware that the man in the brown uniform did not like his arrival in this house. Bobby looked at himself sharply

"Bobby, I have a guest," Anggita said with a face that looked bad about the situation. He hoped that the man named Bobby could understand and quickly returned from the house. After all, Anggita actually doesn't really like it if Bobby comes to his house. The man brags too much about work and thinks his uniform is already great. Because every visit to this house, Bobby always comes in the same clothes.

"Okay I understand Gita. I'll take my leave first. If you need help, do not hesitate to contact me. I'm ready to help you 24 hours. You're just enough miss call. I must have called you back," the man said with a smile. His concern for Anggita was definitely not his usual concern.

"Thank you Bobby." Aggita just thank you without saying Bobby's words. During these two months in the village many men were attentive and offered help to him. But to this extent. Anggita and Mama Feli can live independently without the help of anyone.

"I thank Gita. You want to accept me in this house. I'll bring you more of your favorite fruits." Bobby smiled proudly.

Danny immediately saw a plastic bag containing fruits that located him on the table. Hearing Bobby's words it was clear that the one carrying the fruits was the man. Along with that. Bobby glanced at Danny cynically for not bringing anything as a hand to Anggita. He felt more compared to Danny who came empty-handed. Bobby considered himself more capital than Danny.

"Danny, what are you meeting me for?" ask Anggita after Bobby left the house. Anggita's face that looks flat as a sign that he does not like the arrival of Danny. More precisely if Anggita was afraid to meet with one of Martin's grandfather's families. Fear if the lies about pregnancy are exposed. Anggita is willing to meet with Danny at this time because he appreciates the time the man sacrificed to meet him. And most importantly for the people. Danny doesn't know about her pregnancy.

Danny folded his hands and propped his chin up. If asked what he was meeting Anggita for. He doesn't know either. She was not interested in the matchmaking mentioned by Rieta's grandmother. But if he remembers Evan. Danny also remembers Anggita. In addition, Anggita's absence at Martin's grandfather's funeral actually raises a question mark in Danny's heart.

"No idea" Danny replied honestly. Anggita and Nia alike looked at Danny after hearing that ridiculous answer.

"I think you're not sane. I sacrificed many things to accompany you here. But you have no purpose" said Nia annoyed. Danny chuckles.

"Actually I just want to make sure that Angita is okay" replied Danny finally. The new origin answer flashed through his mind.

"You've seen me. I'm fine. There's a mama with me. You don't have to worry. Go home," replied Anggita flat. The way Danny was acting was obviously impolite. He deliberately said that so that Danny was lazy to see himself and did not want to know about his life. Anggita has promised in his heart that he and Mama Feli will soon move from this village. In addition to the existence of himself already known by Danny actually Anggita less like to live in this village. Girls do not like Anggita because Anggita beauty is more prominent than girls in this village. And many adult men who put their hearts to Anggita.

Just now, Danny wanted to answer Anggita's words. Someone called Anggita's name from outside the house.

"I'm sorry, it turns out you have an Anggita guest," said the man who had just appeared at the door.

"Sister just wants to deliver this Anggita," said the man as he thrust out a row.

"Is this brother?.

"Sister cook rendang earlier. So I share it with you so you don't have to bother cooking dinner. Moreover, you have guests" said the man with a smile towards Danny and Nia.

"There should be no need to bother like this, brother. We have also cooked dinner" Anggita said. She felt bad to be treated like this by a man who liked her. Honestly, Anggita actually feels like eating simalakama fruit because of the treatment of men who like him in this village. Accepting false gifts of fear is said to be arrogant and does not accept the fear of the giver offended.

Danny looked at the man from head to toe. He looks cooler than the man in the brown uniform. And look more handsome too. But the words of the man who cooked rendang were amused in his hearing.

"Thank you brother." Finally Anggita received the structure with a smile.

"Where's Mum Feli?" ask the man again. The one asked immediately appeared from the direction of the kitchen with the tray in his hand.

"I'm here, son Heri. Please sit down first" replied Mama Feli.

"Thank you mother. I still have work" said the man. Heri is the largest cattle farmer in the village. Heri is a respected figure because of his success as a successful cattle farmer at a young age. Actually Heri wanted to also linger in that house for a long time. But realizing the wrong time the man chose to go home.

"Thank you ma'am. I'll say it first" said Heri. He paid his respects to Anggita and nodded his head in respect to Danny and Nia. Compared to Bobby. Heri is much more polite and handsome. Danny replied to Heri with a nod of the head as well.

"After the man named Heri. There is still a man who will deliver food for you Anggita. If it's like this every day you can get rich quickly because you don't spend money to shop," Nia joked but mocked.

"It looks like there's still a kid. Because Joko hasn't come yet. Usually the man will also every day fill the absence to see Anggita's face," replied Mama Feli made Nia laugh out loud. While Danny pretended to seriously listen to anyone who spoke.

"Like a schoolboy just filling the absences. It turns out that the charm of the Young Widow makes men in this village seek your attention Anggita. Don't let the married man's grandfather be attracted to you, too."

Angita. He found out about the old geezer Nia meant. Married man's grandfather had also come to this house and asked Anggita to be his wife. But Mama Feli refused firmly the old grandfather's request.

Although Danny. After hearing Nia's words. His view is also inseparable from Anggita's face. He looked at Anggita. And he realized that Angita was very beautiful. Even more beautiful than his ex-wife Clara.

Natural white face with round eyes. A pointed nose with a pair of tiny lips that are flushed without lip dye. The shape of the face looks perfect with shoulder-length hair that is thick black.

"Beautiful," murmured Danny softly. Then Danny pretended to look at his watch so that it is not so visible if he just noticed the beauty of his former brother-in-law.

"Son Danny. Nia. Please drink the tea" said Mama Feli.

"Ah Yes ma'am. Thank you," replied Danny a little nervously. Before taking the glass he noticed a glimpse of Anggita's face again.

It is not wrong if the men are fascinated with the beauty of Anggita. His face that looked like it was always smiling made anyone want to look at that face continuously. That happened to Danny. After sipping the tea a little. Danny looked back at Anggita's face before putting the glass on the table. The way such as stealing eyesight can be seen by Nia. But the woman pretended not to notice Danny.

"At home stay here, mother?" ask Danny to Mama Feli. The more he noticed Anggita's face the more he wanted to look at that face. Danny chose to ask Mama Feli so as not to be caught if he likes to pay attention to the sweet face of his former sister-in-law.

"Not too comfortable. People here are too curious about the lives of others," said Mama Feli honestly.

It is not about disfiguring the people in this village. That is true. Not infrequently Mama Feli heard whispers whispered neighbors questioning her status and Anggita status. One thing that worries Mama Feli is if Anggita's stomach will be bloated. There will definitely be negative neighbor gossip against Anggita.

Actually it's not just girls who don't like Angita. Mothers also do not like Anggita. The beauty of Anggita's face makes mothers afraid if the boyfriend of their daughter likes Anggita.

"If not at home. Move on," replied Danny calmly.

"But I'm at home. The atmosphere of this village is very beautiful and the air is still clean," said Anggita denied the words mama Feli. He doesn't want Danny to offer or propose them a place to stay.

"Don't just think of yourself Anggita. In this place it seems like many men like and attract your attention. Don't let that guy fight over you. The charm of young widows is always ahead. But don't enjoy the attention of those men too much."

I looked at Danny with annoyance. The man spoke but did not feel guilty at all. While the one who was stared at smiled sweetly then raised the glass and put the glass to the tip of his lips. Again the man looked at Anggita's face before sipping the tea.

"It turns out you're very pretty ex-sister-in-law. Evan must have regretted his actions because he was not aware of your beauty and kindness" Danny said in his heart.
