THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Promise Will Not Touch

After meeting the bride and groom, Fedo impatiently invited Luri to enjoy the banquet at the party. She was unceasingly smiling when she overheard the praise from her family when her mother introduced Luri as her future daughter-in-law. Truly, there is no news much more exhilarating than the confession. Because indirectly the mother has helped Fedo tell everyone that Luri is his. Yes, Luri is the woman who will accompany her in the future.

"Why keep smiling, brother? What's up?" ask Luri curious. He asked while stirring up the drink that was in his glass.

"I'm so happy, baby. You know not that I told all my family that you were his future daughter-in-law. Do you know what that means?" fedo replied with great excitement. "That means your existence has been acknowledged by Mother. This is very exciting news, isn't it?"

The drink in Luri's hand almost spilled if Fedo did not help holding it. So surprised Luri heard Fedo's words her hands became very limp like they had no bones. Truly, Luri was very unlikely that Aunt Abigail would say that to her extended family. This is really very surprising.

My God, is it not too soon for Aunt Abigail to acknowledge who I am in front of all her family? What if later on Fedo and I didn't match? Wouldn't that make her feel so embarrassed? inner Luri fretted.

Fedo's forehead shriveled looking at Luri who was even silent like a confused person. Fedo was surprised when he said nothing wrong. But why would Luri's reaction be like this. Bizarrely.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy with what Mom's done?" fedo asked trying to guess the meaning of the look of confusion on his girl's face.

"I'm okay, Fedo. I was just thinking isn't it too soon to tell you that I'm your daughter-in-law? It's not that I'm not happy, I'm just worried. No one knows what fate will be like in our future. I only feel worried if we both were. ... not in a match," Luri replied in a low voice at the end of the word. His tongue felt faint when he was about to say the word.

"Oh my goodness, baby. Why are you thinking that way anyway?" shocked Fedo. "Honey, it is true that no one knows what will happen in the future. But it is mandatory for us to keep thinking positively. We have to be sure that in the future we can both be together. Now throw that thought away. I am very sure that God has destined you as my soul mate. You have to believe that."

For a while Luri just kept quiet while digesting Fedo's words. Luri began to feel that what she was thinking was a little excessive. Fedo was right that he should think that was okay, not even think of something that was not. Could it be that with us thinking positively then the negative will be closed? Luri had a wrong thought.

"Of course, don't think about it anymore. I understand why you can say that, I know what you mean. But because now we are in a happy atmosphere, it is better if we do not talk about something that can bring burden to the mind. Let's have a lovely talk, shall we?" fedo resisted the urge not to kiss her on the cheek.

My God, how long do I have to endure like this? It feels so bad not to touch the pretty girl that's already mine, God. Please melt Luri's heart so she's willing to be my wife tomorrow morning Fedo's mind is hopeful.

"Hmmm, Brother Fedo. Two more days you can come to Shanghai no? I want to say something related to my education," Luri asked as she stared fixedly at the handsome face of the man before her. Luri's heart was beating very strongly now.

"It can, baby. What the hell isn't it for you?" fedo answered and then rolled one eye. Fedo chuckled as Luri smiled in response to the small temptation she was making.

"Should really come yes, brother. I'd be very disappointed if we didn't meet that day. Because what I'm about to say is something very important."

Fedo really did not heed the crowd and also the many reporters who were in the party room when there was a man who dares to push his hand to invite Luri to get acquainted. Without a second thought Fedo quickly pulled Luri into his arms then stared intently at the man standing still before him.

"She is mine. She's mine. Get out of front of me before I beat you up here. Now!" threaten Fedo as much as possible to withstand his emotional outburst.

Luri who was still shocked by Fedo's actions only remained silent in his arms. He only regained his senses when there was a soft elbow on his cheek.

"Darling, you're okay, right?" ask Fedo to worry.

"Oh, yes. I'm fine, brother," said Luri then quickly free yourself from Fedo's embrace. Soon Luri circulated her gaze to make sure that the incident had not been seen by reporters. It can be dangerous if their closeness is exposed.

"Don't worry. I'm sure there won't be any magazines or media that dare to publish a photo of the scene of me hugging you, baby. I'm so scared, I'm so anxious to see it," Fedo said as he pulled Luri's chin which looked so panicked.

"Are you sure, brother? If the scene had reached the news and then seen by Father and Mother, they would have been very worried, Sis. And I really didn't want that until it happened. I don't want Father and Mother to have the burden of thoughts, they are old and sickly" Luri replied in a voice filled with anxiety.

Realizing that the girl was really scared, Fedo decided to take Luri out of the party. He should not be selfish, Fedo certainly knows that Luri always put the feelings of both parents above his own feelings. That was why he chose to take her away to calm her down first.

"Where are we going, brother?" luri asked confusedly as her hand was pulled out of the room where the party was taking place.

"We're going to go to a place where no one will be able to see our togetherness" Fedo replied.

Luri gulped. Inside his head began to appear a no-no thought. Luri was afraid that Fedo would take her to a place where they could be in an inappropriate situation.

"I know you must be thinking a no-no about me, right?" fedo asked shortly after they entered the elevator. Fedo intends to bring Luri to the top floor of this hotel because there is a beautiful park that usually Fedo come along with his cousin.

"Hehe, sorry, Brother. I've never been to a place like this before. Understandably, I'm just an ordinary girl who doesn't understand the lives of rich people like you," replied Luri not evasive questions posed by Fedo.

"Hmm, just calm down, baby. Maybe I was not a good man. But whatever sena*fsu I am to you now, I swear I will never touch something that is not yet mine. You're my girl, my future lover. And your chastity is an honor that I must guard!"

Luri was stunned as soon as she heard Fedo's words. Are these noble words really coming out of the mouth of a man who used to be so diligent in changing women? Luri was moved, truly deeply moved after hearing Fedo's promise that would not ruin her honor.

May you keep the promise you just said, Brother, inner Luri in heart.
