THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Unkind Hearts Only

Luri stared blankly at the image of her body in front of the mirror. Now the time shows at four in the morning, still very early, right? Yes, and this is the right time for Luri to leave this country. Last night after Luri ended her conversation with Fedo, Galang called. He told me that at five this morning they had to be at the airport. As Luri requested, Galang really prepared all things so that they could leave for London early. Although sad, Luri should still leave as soon as possible. He did not want to meet with Fedo which would make the man more reluctant to take responsibility for what Kanita experienced.

"Why sick? And ... My chest why is it crowded? Wasn't this decision I made myself? But why does it feel like it could hurt like this. Why?" murmured Luri while holding her chest that suddenly felt so painful and also tight.

Without feeling a clear liquid escaped from the corner of Luri's eye. Apparently the pain that appeared made him unable to bear to not shed tears. Today should be the day that Luri will tell Fedo that tomorrow she will go to London to fulfill her goal. Stabilize yourself? Does Luri have the right to do so? But for what if the person he was headed to would soon have a child from another woman. Truly, not once did Luri ever think that Fedo would have the heart to betray him. Two months ago Luri was lied to by him where Fedo claimed to want to visit one of his business colleagues in a hotel. Luri who never harbored any prejudice against him was not at all suspicious even though the time of Fedo's visit to the hotel was a little strange. Yeah, Fedo came to the hotel pretty late. But because Fedo said that his client had just arrived, Luri believed what Fedo said. But who would have thought that the client intended by Fedo turned out to be Kanita, one of Fedo's former bedmates who had visited Luri at school. Shock? That's for sure. It feels like Luri's heart is torn when she hears Kanita's confession that states that Fedo refuses to take responsibility for the baby who is now in her birth.

"Why, Brother. Why did you lie to me so far. I realized that all this time I never allowed you to touch beyond the limits, but that doesn't mean you can find another woman to use for an impingement. Look now, Kanita is pregnant and you refuse to acknowledge her baby as your child. I'm a woman too, Fedo. Just like Kanita. So rather than seeing a baby born without a complete parent, I would rather let you go into another woman's arms. I do love you, but that love won't blind my conscience. Sorry, I had to leave you. Hopefully with my departure your heart will be open and willing to take responsibility for Kanita. Be happy!" luri said while wiping away the tears on her face.

After speaking to the shadow in front of the mirror, Luri smiled. He hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face when anyone opened the room door. Brother's coming.

"You can definitely get through all this sadness, Luri. I believe that" said Lusi. She looked sadly at her sister who looked like she had just cried. The eyes of his sister make Lusi very sure that his sister is in a condition of the heart that is not okay.

"Thank you very much for your support, brother. There are all of you with me, then everything will be fine" Luri said slowly.

"The bitch is waiting for you downstairs. He said you should come early so you can have time to take care of the others. Come down, Dad and the others are also waiting there," said Lusi as he stroked his sister's cheek. "Don't think of anything else here, Luri. Focus, and go home with your dream title. Prove to Fedo that you can do it without him in your life. Okay?"

Luri nodded. After that, he hugged his sister quite tightly. Honestly, Luri was currently so eager to cry out loud. His heart was weak in his first heartbreak. But because she did not want to make her brother feel worried, as much as possible Luri held back her tears so as not to drip out. He has to be tough because of this decision he himself chose.

"Are you ready?" asked Lusi while breaking his sister's embrace.

"Already, Brother," Luri replied with a sweet smile.

"Then let's go down."

Luri nodded. Since some of her luggage was already downstairs, now Luri was only carrying one sling bag containing some of her belongings. Holding hands with her sister Luri walked down the stairs. His breathing was slightly choked to see his father and mother who were looking at him with a sad face. It's too painful.

"Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Mother," said Luri. He then walked up to them. "Dad, Mother. Today Galang and I are going to London, please pray that our trip will be smooth? And please give your blessing so that the two of us can return home with great success that can make you all feel proud. Yea?"

Nita could not hold back her tears when Luri said goodbye. While crying sobbing, Nita gave blessing to her second daughter. It was sad for her heart, but Nita should not be selfish because this was for the sake of her daughter's noble ideals.

"I heard everything Mom said. But as I promised, I will definitely go home with something that will make you all feel proud. Mother don't worry. There later I will always take care of health, as well as you here. Stay healthy until I return to this house" said Luri.

After that, Luri hugged her father who was in a wheelchair. In the arms of Luri's father did not say anything at all. He was disappointed in himself because at the beginning of his father wished for the man he liked, that hope was now foundered in a very painful way. His father would be very disappointed if he knew that the man he trusted would soon have children from other women.

"Luri, the time is getting tight. Can it be shortened? Not what, I'm afraid we missed the plane" said Galang unkindly asking Luri to immediately end the separation with her family.

"Wait, Brother Galang. I haven't hugged Brother Luri!" shout Nania. She immediately rushed into her brother's arms as soon as the father let go of their embrace.

"Nania, I'm bringing Mom and Dad to you. Please don't be naughty, and obey them. Yea?" said Luri.

"You take it easy, brother. As long as you're in London, I promise to be a good girl. Don'worry. Okay?"

"alright. I believe in you."

Luri releases a hug on Nania then turns to hug her sister-in-law. She gave a short goodbye to him, then for the last Luri re-hugged her brother. Before letting go of the hug, Luri told her brother that she had a letter in her bedroom desk drawer.

"Sister, please read the letter after the plane carrying me and Galang took off from this country huh" whispered Luri.

"alright. Be careful, call Brother if you want to leave," said Lusi.

"Yes. I'll definitely tell Brother later. Then I'll leave first, okay?"

Galang immediately helped move all of Luri's belongings into the car. After that they both say goodbye to everyone for the last time. And ... they both finally left for the airport.
