THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Ration Seized

Inside the party room, Abigail, Mattheo and Kayo look very impatient waiting for the arrival of Fedo and Luri. They continued to look towards the entrance, hoping that the two people would soon emerge from there.

"Geez, why are we being such a hick? Strange," muttered Mattheo.

"Udik how it means, Matt. What we are waiting for is our son and future daughter-in-law, what a hick," said Abigail felt disapproving of her husband's murmur.

"Don't be mad, darling. I didn't mean to think of our future daughter-in-law that way. Really," said Mattheo into a panic of her own.

Abigail grunting. Soon enough, the person they were waiting for finally arrived. At first Abigail and Mattheo were confused to see Fedo who instead appeared together with Gleen. But after paying close attention they realized that Luri was walking next to Lusi, her brother.

"Woaaahhh, did Fedo get Luri to do plastic surgery first?" muttered Mattheo was amazed to see the beauty that was in the village girl.

"See your word, Matt. This was Luri's first time attending an event like this. You can't make her feel ashamed!" reprimand Abigail while pinching Mattheo's waist slowly.

Mattheo could only grimace without daring to complain after his waist fell victim to the brutality of his wife's hand. He then turned his head to the side when he accidentally heard the sound of stifled laughter coming out of his daughter's mouth.

"Don't tell me you're in love with the village girl's charm, huh?" tanya Kayo is half-literate.

"Geez, what are you talking about, Kay. Your mother is the only woman who can fascinate you. You must not be slandered" replied Mattheo, because Kayo caught the strange vibrations in her mind.

Hehehe, what you think is right. Mattheo is fascinated by Luri's beauty, but only limited to enchanted yes. Not more. The problem, as a normal man is not natural if you have a sense of attraction to the opposite sex? And that's how Mattheo feels when he sees Luri who comes with a stunning appearance.

"The mouth may lie, Father. But not with both eyes. I was able to see very clearly how much Father stared at Luri. Don't you?"

Not wanting Kayo's words heard by his wife, Mattheo quickly went to avoid by walking over to Fedo. Not to forget also she glanced towards Luri who somehow looks so elegant with a black dress that is attached to her body.

Why does Luri look so caste? He was just an ordinary villager, but why did his aura look so conspicuous? Wahhh, this can't be allowed. It must be him who becomes my son-in-law and Abigail, Mattheo's inner self is full of determination.

"I suggest you stop staring at Luri or I'll complain to Mom!" threatening Fedo while whispering beside his father's ear. He certainly knows where the direction that makes his father's focus becomes shifted.

"Father is normal, and your girl is too conspicuous among the many beautiful women who are at this party. So it's only natural that I keep watching him?" mattheo refused to budge. Bodo time, he's being leaped into the castle right now.

"Luri my girl, she's mine. I have to remember that!"

"Who said Luri belonged to who's Dad?"

"Then stop looking at her. I'm not willing, Dad!" fedo protest this time talking without whispering. He was really upset by the flirtatious act of his father who dared to steal a glance at his girl. "Dad, if you still don't want to stop doing it, I swear I will directly complain to Mother and Aunt Liona. Wanna?"

"Hello, honey. You are beautiful tonight" said Abigail without hesitation to praise Luri's beauty. Immediately he hugged this girl after arriving nearby.

"Thank you very much, Auntie. Auntie also looks very pretty tonight," said Luri politely and then parse a hug.

Abigail smiled. After that he changed to hug Lusi, a beautiful woman who used to work as a waitress at his nephew's house. "Hello, Lusi. How are you doing? Aunty heard you're pregnant right now?"

"My news is very good, Aunt Abigail. And it's true that I'm pregnant now. Nine weeks," replied Lusi kindly. " Aunty herself how are you? And Miss Kayo, you look so pretty in that dress. Is this some sort of aura coming out of someone who is about to have a wedding?"

Kayo just laughed at the temptation presented by Lusi. After that he hugged her and then stroked the stomach of Susi who was not too big.

"You're this. Your sister is in close contact with my sister but why do you still call me Miss? Just call Kayo to sound more familiar. Soon we will be a family. Isn't that right, Luri?"

Instead of answering, Luri lowered her head while smiling shyly. I don't know, his heart felt so warm to see the attitude of his mother and sister Fedo who seemed to have nothing to distinguish his status with his brother. Who would have thought that the village girl seemed to be received so openly by a family whose incident is a rich and influential family. And so is Luri. What happened this afternoon and now is an event that is beyond his expectations. It was like he was dreaming.

"Don't keep teasing Luri, Kay. Look, his face is already very flushed with embarrassment!" reprimand Abigail while rubbing Luri's hair which happened to be let down.

"I'm not teasing him, Mom. Just talking facts. Right, Lus? We're not teasing Luri, are we?" sahut Kayo who deliberately returned to throw temptation on Luri. Somehow he liked to see the shameful reaction in the village girl. They have not yet become brothers-in-law. Kayo mana might dare to say like this again if Luri was married to her brother.

Luci nodded in agreement to Kayo's words. In his heart, he was very relieved because Luri's presence was received very well by the Fedo family. Lusi so no need to feel anxious again to think about the fate of his sister who could have suffered a heartbreak if the sister and parents Fedo is not willing to accept it. But fortunately the reality that happened was not what he was worried about. Lusi really felt very grateful for it.

While the women were teasing Luri, the men seemed busy with their chatter. However, Fedo did not release Luri from his eyes. She kept an eye on all her movements, from cuddling with her mother and sister, also when Luri looked timid after Kayo spoke. In Fedo's eyes it all looks very memorable. Luri is very suitable to join with great women like Kayo and also her mother.

"It is not necessary to glare at Luri continuously. My wife is with him, she can't be taken away by another man!" sindir Gleen is anxious to see Fedo who continues to steal views toward his sister-in-law.

"Ck, can't you see that Luri is so beautiful, Gleen? If I let my guard down, he could be approached by the hungry crocodiles in this party room. Looking over there, the eyes of those men since then continued to look towards Luri. So how could I not be worried?" fedo said while pointing to some men who had been staring at his girl from a distance that was not too far away.

"A crocodile expert like you can feel threatened too with the existence of the crocodiles?" tease Gleen while chuckling. "Uncle Mattheo, don't you think this is so funny? Fedo feels threatened by its own members. This is the strangest joke that makes me so eager to laugh. There is no opponent!"

"It's not just funny, Gleen. But this is something very ridiculous. Just this time Uncle saw a senior crocodile scared of a junior crocodile. Truly a joke that has no equal!" mattheo replied, not hesitating to mock his son.

Gleen and Mattheo laughed with great satisfaction at seeing Fedo nag. After that Kayo came and then invited the three of them to meet the bride and groom first. Fedo who was impatient to introduce Luri as his girl took the initiative to invite him to walk together. But his desire was forced to run aground because it turns out his mother had already mastered Luri. Yeah, he's late.

Why is it that Mom invited Luri. He should have been with me when he met Reinhard and Levita. Aaaa, Mother. Tonight's my allotment, why did you snatch it? fedo protest in heart.
