THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Blind Jealous

If in Japan Kanita is in a slump, in Shanghai Luri is busy chatting with Fedo on the phone. He sat under a tree trunk holding a form that would take him to one of the top universities abroad. The scheduled departure time is next month. But because there is something that needs to be taken care of, Luri and Galang will be dispatched early by the school.

"Darling, what time are you coming home?" ask Fedo from across the phone.

"Em, maybe in a minute, brother. Why the hell?" luri replied with a small smile.

"It's okay. I just want to know all the things you're gonna do today. You know, I'm so happy today. One big problem I managed to solve well."

Luri silently digested Fedo's words. Big deal? Aboutwhat? Luri tried to recall whether Fedo had ever told her something like that or not. But as far as she was trying to remember, Luri got no answer.

Did you think Fedo forgot to tell me? Tumben. He usually tells me what problems he faces. Even the most shameful thing he told me. Strange, Inner Luri was a little suspicious.

"Hello, honey. Are you still there?"

"Yes I'm still here, sister," said Luri a little surprised when she heard a voice from inside the phone. Luri only realized that she had just daydreamed and slightly ignored this Japanese man. While tightening the grip on her phone, Luri ventured to ask about the big issue Fedo was intending to address. "Sister Fedo, I'm sorry if this is a little presumptuous. I'm curious about the problem you managed to get rid of. If I could know what that is about? As I recall you never told me this. Em, but if you don't want to answer, it's okay. Maybe it's a little privacy."

There was no answer after Luri asked like that. And this made Luri feel worried. He was afraid in case his question had offended something he shouldn't have known from Fedo. Not wanting any misunderstandings, Luri took the initiative to apologize. But when he was about to open his mouth, Fedo had already spoken. As a result, Luri disengaged her intentions and preferred to listen to what Fedo would say.

"Darling, do you remember Kanita? He's a former bedmate of mine who came to see you. Remember no?"

"Woman?" parrot Luri lirih. Instantly his heart was pounding strongly. Luri's feelings again felt bad, just like she felt after having a nightmare that happened last night.

"Kanita Iya. The big problem I mean is him. You didn't forget when he came to see you he asked you to let me go? Now all that trouble is over, baby. He will no longer dare to disturb our relationship. This is very exciting news, isn't it?" fedo said with a voice that sounded so crisp.

"What happened to Miss Kanita, sister? When he came to see me I could see in his eyes that he loved you so much. I may not have had any experience with dating, but I can feel that Miss Kanita harbors a sincere feeling even though it cannot be denied that her attitude looks so haughty and arrogant. She's a good woman, just her steps are not right" said Luri still with a thumping chest.

"Hmmm, no matter how sincere I feel I will still choose you. Yes, don't talk about that woman anymore. We are now free from his madness. Right no?"

Luri kept quiet. He then read the form he had in his hand. Doubtful, that's how he feels now. I want him to be honest with Fedo if soon he will leave for overseas. However, given his rather crazy attitude, Luri was worried that this man would come straight to Shanghai to prevent him from leaving.

"Sister Fedo," call Luri. He intends to investigate what this man will do if he informs him of his disappearance. "If I choose to continue my education abroad, what can I do?"

The flirting of the question in a fairly cold tone instantly greeted Luri's auditory senses as soon as she alluded a little about her departure abroad. Honestly, there was a tingling feeling when he heard the type of accusations made by Fedo which again related to Galang. But Luri tried to respond with a calm heart, she understood because this man has a blind jealous disease that there is no cure.

"Sister, would I have said if I had. Why did Galang get carried away? My education has nothing to do with him. Because I'm in school for my own future success, not for anyone else. So yes, whatever happens later do not ever carry the name of another person. Don't you know for yourself who I'm doing all this for?" said Luri slightly belied her own words because indeed she would go with Galang. But not for any wrong purpose.

"Huffttt, you just startled me, baby. I thought you were really going to study abroad. Don't be weird, just in Shanghai so I don't stay on the plane too long if I want to come see you. Yea?"

If only Fedo knew the truth, he would definitely not be relieved this easily. Because what he heard was a truth where Luri and Galang would go together. When thinking about it without feeling Luri's face slightly cheered. He did not lie that in his heart there was a feeling of unwillingness because the distance that separated them would be further and further.

"Sister Fedo, when I decide to go to college, where do you want to not come here to see me? Think of it as an encouragement before I start a new status as a student. You want to not?" asked Luri while looking her face up. He was silent as he looked at the bright blue sky.

"Of course I'd love to, baby. Never mind later, I'll go straight to Shanghai if you ask. Take it easy, your lover is very rich. Distance is not an obstacle for us to let go of longing, but not every day either. Because I still have to take care of the company. I could have died hanging by Mom and Dad if I had neglected my duties here. You can understand, right, baby?" fedo replied in a very happy tone of voice.

It can be guessed that the man must be very excited to hear the wishes of his girl.

As Luri was about to return to talk, her school bell rang. He let out a long, slightly unwilling sigh as he was about to end his conversation with Fedo.

"Sister Fedo, I've got to get back to class. Is it okay if I turn off the call? When I get home, I'll tell you right away. Yea?" pamit Luri's.

"Oh, so. Yes, you go to class. Be careful, keep your distance from the Galang-Galang. Oya, baby. Please tell Nania that I fired her from being a spy. Tell him he's the worst man I've ever hired. Okay?"

"Geez, what the hell are you guys. Yes, I'll tell Nania about this dismissal. Now I'm closing first, huh, brother?"

"Yes, honey. I miss you."

Luri's cheeks met red as Fedo said I miss you to her. After that he turned off the call then rushed off towards his class.

Hopefully later Fedo will be able to accept when I tell the truth. Please help me ease my cause, Lord, do'a Luri in my heart.
