THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ A Warmth
After a phone call with Fedo, Luri rushed to clean up in the bathroom. Her heart was flowery, happy after experiencing the relief incident earlier. While continuing to smile, Luri changed clothes then immediately went out to the kitchen to help the servants prepare dinner. The look on his face that was so cheerful accidentally attracted the attention of the servants who were cool with their respective busyness. The servants whispered to each other, which made Luri wonder.
"Auntie, why are you whispering like that when I come? Is there something weird on my face?" ask Luri curious.
"No, Miss. We all whispered to each other out of curiosity to see the aura of Miss's face that looked so radiant. Looks like something good happened to Miss today. Right no?" teased one of the servants while chuckling softly.
Luri silently digested the meaning of the servant's aunt. A second later he smiled, understanding that he was being teased by them. While arranging the dishes on the table, Luri also told the reason why her face could look radiant.
"Auntie, did any of you fall in love?" asked Luri slightly blushed.
"Of course there is, Miss Luri. Don't-don't Miss look so happy because she's in love, huh? Must have fallen in love with Mr. Fedo. Right no?" answer aunty waiter.
"Yes, Bi. But this is nothing new anymore. I'm sure Bibi must have known a long time ago about my closeness with Brother Fedo. And the reason why I look so happy is because Mom and Dad gave us both their blessing. Even back then when Fedo called me, Mom blatantly said that she had given us the green light for our relationship. Trivial indeed, but for me the blessing of parents is a very important thing. Because Father and Mother's happiness is a price I can't bargain for. They are the most important in this world" said Luri with sincerity.
The servants were very amazed to hear the words of Luri who so appreciated and loved her parents. In their minds, it was rare for a girl of Luri's age to have such mature thoughts. The average girl in this day and age no longer heed the prohibitions of their parents. Whether it's in terms of education or association. All are very free, no matter how freedom itself may destroy their future. Unlike Luri, this girl even prefers not to date before getting the blessing of her parents. It is fortunate that this man will be the husband of their lady. And the lucky male candidate is named Fedo, a handsome and wealthy man who now lives in Japan.
"Ekhmm ekhmm .. it's worth it this house feels very quiet. It turns out you're all gathered here huh. What the hell is he gossiping about?" nania asked as she looked curiously at her brother who was busy chatting with the servants in the kitchen.
"No one's gossiping, Nania. We were all just chatting normally. Isn't that right, Bi?" answer Luri while asking a simple question to the waiter. He then smiled at his sister who pursed her lips in disbelief.
With a face that still looks sour, Nania walked closer to her sister then helped arrange a glass on the table. Actually, Nania wanted to meditate in the room just to seek enlightenment from God about what way she should use to avenge Jovan. Until this moment Nania still did not receive at the chili-cabean dwarf by her upperclassmen. So no matter what happens, he has to get back at him. Whether it is using rough or subtle ways, the most important thing is that the grudge can be avenged. But Nania's intention to meditate failed when the mother entered her room. And he finally came out of the room after being told that too long in the room alone can be possessed by demons.
"Why, hm? Still mad at Jovan, huh?" asked Luri while looking at her sister's face which still looks very upset.
"Not just angry, brother. But I was also very inflamed in the dwarf as a chili-cabean girl. It is true that Jovan's sister can not distinguish yes where the girl is good and where the girl is. I am deeply offended, Brother Luri," replied Nania.
If it could be seen clearly, all the fur on Nania immediately stood up straight to hear the temptation cast by her brother. Likes Jovan? Gosh darn. In Nania's eyes, Jovan was nothing more than a spoiled boy who still smelled bad. Hearing his parents want to separate, Jovan had directly hurt himself. Then what reason could make Nania have more feelings for her upperclassman? Another story that Jovan is an established man and also mature, Nania might think to approach him. It is good to live a good life.
"Sister Luri, I'm just gonna love a guy like Brother Fedo. He is annoying, but his looks and money can bring calm. As for Brother Jovan, my goodness. At school, he was still being paid for by his parents. It would be a shame if I were to date a man in such a grim future."
The mouths of the servants as well as Luri immediately gaped wide upon hearing Nania's words. Really, they were very surprised at the thought of this young girl who liked the origin of speech. Luckily Jovan wasn't there. If so, surely the boy would be ashamed of being left in bed like that by Nania.
"Here you go, don't talk about Brother Jovan anymore. Later my frustration will disappear" said Nania while twirling her body near the table.
"Isn't it good, Non, if your frustration is gone?" ledek waiter while poking Nania's chin that looks adorable when moving the skirt she wears.
"What a good thing, Bi. There I can't take revenge on Brother Jovan anymore. It's not fair that he's left alone. She will definitely think of me as a weak girl later on!" sahut Nania does not accept.
Laughter filled the kitchen as Luri and the servants heard Nania's reluctant words to reconcile with Jovan. While Nania herself, she seemed indifferent when she was laughed at by the people who were there. Perhaps because of the sound of their laughter being quite loud, it finally made Luyan and Nita come. They wondered what was going on there.
"Your laughter was heard all the way to the front room. What was? What are you laughing at?" asked Luyan while looking one by one into the faces of everyone who was still giggling slowly.
"I'm sorry if the sound of our laughter bothers you, Mr. Luyan. We were all laughing at Miss Nania. He was very funny" replied one of the servants.
"Yes, Dad. We persuaded him to forgive Jovan, but he refused. Nania said she was afraid to be considered a weak girl if she forgave him just like that," Luri said as she glanced at her sister who was pursing her lips.
Luyan and Nita shook their heads after finding out the cause of the crowd in their home kitchen. It is no longer new that their youngest daughter easily holds a grudge against someone who dares to upset her. Finally Luyan and Nita also mocked and laughed like the others as Nania sulked while stomping her feet to the floor. Ignoring Nania's whining asking them to stop teasing her. Simple indeed, but small events like this can bring a warmth in everyone.
