THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGGRA) ~ Rent Apartments

During the break, Luri and Galang were called to the headmaster's room. Those who know that it is related to their departure abroad will soon come eagerly. Yes, Luri was impatient to immediately continue studying there so that she could immediately bear the title of doctor she aspired to. That way Luri can feel relieved to be proud of her parents, as well as her desire to look appropriate when establishing a relationship with Fedo. While Galang, he looks so sumringah because he can't wait to spend a lot of time together with Luri in London. Galang thought that when they were abroad, he would devote all his time to attracting this village girl. In the past when his love was rejected, Luri reasoned that she wanted to focus on pursuing her ideals. And most likely after they graduate later there is hope for Galang to have the opportunity. That's why Galang will again start his business by filling all of Luri's time with many memories of the two of them.

"Good day, Principal's mother!" greet Luri and Galang together.

"Good afternoon. You guys have come?" ask the principal. "Get in and sit here. I'm on the phone, you guys wait a minute?"

"Alright," said Galang and Luri who again compact answer simultaneously.

While waiting for the headmaster to finish talking on the phone, Galang asked Luri about the preparation of what he had done in his house.

"Luri, have you prepared the items that will be brought to London?" ask Galang.

"Some of it I've packed, Lang. There are still some winter clothes and also files from the school that have not been" replied Luri. "How are you?"

"Same as you. I just need to prepare the files from school. And after that it's settled."

Luri nodded in understanding. Actually there is still something else that Luri has not prepared, namely her heart. Yes, Luri still hasn't told Fedo about his departure abroad. Besides being busy taking care of this and that, it was also because of Luri who was confused thinking about what way she should use so as not to hurt the man's feelings.

"Oh yes, Luri. My dad said we should just rent an apartment over there. Being in the dormitory is too prone to bullying cases, Father and Mother are worried that we are both doing nothing" said Galang full of intent. "Em, would you not if we rented an apartment in the same building? For the cost problem you don't have to worry. Dad has a friend there, he'll take care of it for both of us. You want to not?"

Galang stared fixedly at Luri who never answered her question. He was actually very hopeful that this girl would be willing to accept his offer. Not what, with them living in the apartment then Galang so have many opportunities to enjoy time with Luri. Because what Galang knows, there is a curfew limit for immigrant students who live in dormitories. The campus and the dormitory do not want to take the risk if there is one of the students who become victims of crime while outside the dormitory. And of course this will be very detrimental to Galang who really wants to have beautiful moments with his girlfriend after they are there.

"Lang, first I want to thank you for your goodwill. But sorry, it seems I prefer to stay in the dormitory only. I don't come from a family like you, Lang. You know for yourself that what I wear and have now belongs to my sister-in-law? My home and school, all my sisters-in-law who bear. So I can't go back to adding to the burden of not living in a place that has been prepared by the school. My father and mother didn't have that kind of money to pay for the rent, and I didn't want to burden them anymore. You got it, right?" luri said after being silent for a while.

"Yes I understand. But if it's for rent, I'll pay it until we graduate. And if you feel awkward, pay back after you work later," said Galang worried.

"Who's money are you going to pay the rent for, Lang?" ask Luri. "You haven't graduated from school and are working. Then what do you want to cover that cost with? Your father's money?"

Tergugu. He was troubled between fear and shame. Also true. Luri is not the kind of girl who likes wealth like the other girls. It is stupid because Galang tried to persuade by using money belonging to his parents.

"Lang, I know you mean well. But sorry, I can't accept your kindness. From the very beginning before I won this competition, I had intended to pursue my ideals with my own efforts and hard work. It's enough for you to pay the services of a guard who will protect me there, not by paying me rent for an apartment. Pity your Father and Mother if you have to bear the burden twice, Lang. I'm ashamed!" luri said that she objected to the offer that Galang had made.

When Galang was about to give an explanation, the principal had already finished calling. Galang had to postpone what he wanted to say because the headmaster invited them to talk.

"Galang, Luri, have each of you prepared the goods that will be brought abroad?" the headmaster asked with a friendly smile towards these two proud students.

"Already, Mom. We only lack files from the school alone," replied Galang representing a talk.

"Oh. If the problem is later the school will take care of. You just need to maintain your health and also prepare other equipment before going there," continued the principal. "Oh yes, Luri. Overseas would you like to live in a dorm or an apartment? Mr. Gleen just called, he's asking about this."

Luri was shocked because it turned out that her sister-in-law had called the principal. He was a little worried when he wanted to give an answer. Not that she did not want to, Luri just felt bad for her sister-in-law. He was afraid that he would give an excessive burden because his brother-in-law did not only bear the cost of his school. There is still Nania and her parents, not to mention her brother. All of this made Luri into a dilemma.

"Luri, the headmaster is asking you," whispered Galang as he looked at Luri who was even silently daydreaming.

"O-oh yes-yes," said Luri stammered. "Sorry, principal. If you can tell my sister asked me what was that?"

"Mr Gleen just asked me to ask about the place you're going to live there. Actually want in the apartment or in the dorm, according to Mother it is the same. The only difference is freedom because if you live in a dormitory, you will not be able to freely go in and out like if you live in an apartment. Especially at night. Boarding officers are very strict, they really want to keep the safety of the students who are studying in their country. Maybe this is what Mr. Gleen means!"

Luri nodded her head when she heard the explanation from the headmaster. He then turned his head to the side as Galang nudged his elbow.

"Select the apartment, Luri. Besides school, I want us to have plenty of time to enjoy the atmosphere there. Having fun while studying doesn't hurt, does it?" said Galang.

"I'll think about it, Lang. If my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law ask me to stay in the apartment, then I will agree. We're going to stay away from family, so as much as possible I don't want to be a burden on their minds. You understand what I'm saying, don't you, Lang?" sahut Luri while smiling little.

"No matter what decision you make, I will still support you, Luri," Galang said, sighing in relief. "spirit. Let us join together happiness and success in the country of people."

Luri and the headmaster smiled comically at how Galang became so excited. After the conversation was over, Luri invited Galang to the principal and then went to the cafeteria because her stomach had started to rumble.
