THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Pouch Semar

At Luyan's house, everyone is currently holding a small party to celebrate Luri's victory, who managed to get a scholarship abroad. Gleen and Lusi were there too. They also take part in the happiness that is enveloping the family.

"Congratulations, Luri. Brother is very proud of you, baby," said Lusi while giving a warm hug to his first sister. He was very satisfied with the initial achievement that was passed by his sister.

"Thank you very much, brother. All of this is thanks to the prayers of all of you so that I can reach this point. Pray for everything to go smoothly until I succeed in becoming a doctor who can be relied on yes, sister," said Luri while smiling as usual. After that he unraveled the big brother's embrace, then looked at him intently.

Susi who was responsive to Luri's eyes immediately chuckled softly while scrambling her long hair. He of course knew that the intention behind the gaze was about his sister's intention to solidify herself in fighting for her feelings for Fedo. Truly, Lusi was really very moved to see the way his sister kept their parents feeling and also his own feelings. Not childish and also very wise.

"Did he know you won this competition?" tanya half whispered.

"No, brother, I haven't told him. Fedo didn't know I was competing in this competition to win a scholarship abroad. She only knew that I was in a regular competition at school" Luri replied honestly. "Em Kak Lusi, please tell Kak Gleen not to tell anything to Fedo sir."

"Why can't it? Isn't this good news Fedo should know?" tanya Lusi astonished.

"Yes, but I plan to tell you later, brother. I'm afraid Fedo's brother will come straight to Shanghai if he finds out that I'm going to study abroad. She definitely won't let me go there," Luri replied as she held back a smile as she recalled the Japanese man's possessiveness.

"Oh, is that it? Well, I'll tell your sister-in-law not to say anything to Fedo."

"Thank you very much, Brother Lusi."

After saying that, Luri immediately gulped when she found the mother who was staring at her with a short distance from where she and her brother were standing. Luri's face slowly paled, she was very afraid that her mother would hear what they were talking about.

"Mom, is Mom here?" ask Luri nervously. Both of his hands squeezed the lower fringe of the shirt very firmly.

"Yes, honey. Mother has been here ever since you started chatting with your sister" Nita replied as she walked closer to her two daughters. "Don't panic, I'm not angry at all. Forgive Mom and Dad's attitude, son. We've been very selfish for limiting your feelings for Fedo. We shouldn't have acted that way with you two. I'm sorry."

Lusi and Luri were both stunned by the shock of hearing their mother who suddenly apologized. Not wanting any misunderstandings, Luri immediately hugged her mother with worry. She was sad to see her mother like this.

"Mom, why are you talking like that, hm? Mom and Dad are not wrong. Me and Brother Fedo know that your intentions and goals are for the good of both of us. So Mom don't apologize to me. I'm not wrong."

"Luri, I know that you and Fedo have been secretly in a long-distance relationship. This I know is not from Nania or your sister, but it all comes from Mother's feelings as a parent. You and Fedo like each other, don't you?"

Nita looked inward at her first daughter then alternately looked towards her second daughter. She's full. As a parent, Nita was late to realize that Luri's happiness was hindered by her blessing. Fortunately, Nita accidentally opened Luri's phone left at home when her daughter went to the hospital to visit her friend. Otherwise, up to this second Nita and Luyan would definitely never know about the close relationship that Luri and Fedo had been secretly in. When Nita and Luyan read the messages on the phone, they were both shocked and moved. Their daughter is so great, able to fortify her own feelings by saying that the happiness of her parents is much more important than her

"Yes, Mom. From the beginning, Fedo and I liked each other. And I've told Brother Fedo that I can't date him for now. I want to focus on school so I can make Mom and Dad proud. So don't worry, yeah. I promise I won't disappoint your expectations!" luri replied that between him and Fedo there is nothing but a relationship as friends but friendly. And that's what he did in secret.

"Luri, Mom and Dad have been talking about this since a few nights ago. And we decided to let you date Fedo. You're already big, it's only natural that you have a lover" Nita said with teary eyes.

Luri speaks a thousand languages. He was worried, not knowing whether to be happy or not when his mother told him that his relationship with Fedo had received blessing. Not wanting to be mistaken, Luri immediately looked towards her brother. He needs advice this second, too.

"Luri, if Big Brother is in your position right now Big Brother will definitely not waste what Mom just said. But with a note that Brother should not be negligent on the main purpose of Brother. It's okay to be in a relationship with a man we like, but we can't get lulled. Your goal is to become a great doctor in the future, and the blessing given by Father and Mother does not make you ignore these ideals. You need to be able to balance your feelings and your future. If it can be achieved simultaneously, why not try to do it? You like Fedo, and Fedo likes you too. You want to be a doctor, and I'm sure Fedo will always be supportive. Right no?" said Lusi trying to give advice wisely.

"Is it okay if I chase both of them simultaneously, Brother?" luri asked still a little doubtful.

"There's nothing wrong with that, baby. The most important thing is that you know how to react to it. When school is demanding you focus, you should be able to put your feelings aside first. And I'm sure Fedo can understand you very well. Isn't that right, Mom?"

Nita nodded. As always, Lusi will be the sun that shines and also solves every problem. Now Nita is relieved that her second daughter no longer needs to hide her feelings from everyone.

"Me, Father and Brother Gleen are busy partying but why are my beautiful Mother and sisters gossiping here? I forgot we were all celebrating!" nagel Nania who came while shaking her waist.

"Oh my goodness, Nania. Why is your face all black? What's going on?" tanya Lusi was shocked to see her sister's blackened face here and there.

Nania immediately rubbed her face then looked at her own palm. His eyes widened so wide he knew that his face was so dirty. Upset at the feeling of having been worked up, Nania immediately pointed towards the perpetrator who made her face so like this.

"He did it, Lusi. Brother Gleen deliberately crossed my face using the ashes of the leftover burning flesh. He told me to look like an army doing war."

"And you just obeyed when your sister-in-law said that?" asked Lusi while holding back a laugh. Her husband is so ugly.

"Who, do I want to look cool at Kak Luri's celebration" replied Nania grumbling. "Huh, know this I don't want to listen to what Brother Gleen said earlier. Just watch out, I will instantly reply to him right now. Get ready, Brother Gleen. I'm gonna crumple that pouch of yours. You're evil!"

Nita and her two daughters could only shake their heads to see Nania coming to her sister-in-law while carrying a crab clamp. Can you imagine for yourself not what the bad girl wants to do? Truly a troublemaker. 😝
