THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Thousand One Way

Fedo stared at the reflection of his face in front of the mirror while tidying up his clothes. Today is a very important day in Fedo's life. After some heated debate with the elders of the Eiji family, Kayo and Jackson were finally able to get married. And as a good sister, Fedo is definitely obliged to give his best performance to take off Kayo's last day as a girl. Haru, that's for sure. Although Fedo was married first by his sister, he did not feel ashamed or sad at all. There Fedo instead felt very happy because it could deliver his only sister puppet into the hands of a man who would be his life partner.

"Hmmm, it's a pity that you're not here, Luri. If anything, we would definitely wear a couple like we did when we attended Reinhard and Levita's wedding at the time" Fedo murmured softly.

It's been a few months since Fedo was left by Luri. Since then, they have not made any contact. Not that Fedo was upset or anything. He was just trying to appreciate the request of Uncle Luyan and Aunt Nita who forbade Fedo from interrupting Luri's focus on college. They want Fedo to give time to Luri to really solidify after being involved in a misunderstanding due to Luri who is still too unstable in making decisions. And as a good son-in-law candidate, of course Fedo must respond to the request. But Fedo is not his name if he has no other way to see the daily life of his village girl. Fedo has a thousand and one ways that he can do to get rid of the longing that stretches.

"Listen. I promise to cover all your needs while studying in London on the condition that you become my spy here. There's a new medical student named Luri, she's my future wife. I need you to keep an eye on him and report anything he does while he's on campus. If necessary I will also rent out an apartment in the same building as Luri so that you will find it easier to observe. And also, please watch Galang's movements. She is a snot teenager who always takes the opportunity to get close to my Luri. Okay?"

More or less like that the negotiations that took place between Fedo and a student who attended the same faculty as Luri. And it is from their cooperation that sometimes Fedo secretly came to London and then disguised by being assisted by the student. It's not a big struggle for a Fedo just to be able to see the village girl? And Fedo felt very happy despite only seeing Luri from a distance. That's more than enough for him now.

"Mom thinks you're asleep, Fed!" abigail said as she looked at her son who was standing in front of the mirror. "Let's get out. Everyone is waiting for you downstairs!"

Fedo. He then smiled while nodding his head. Today Kayo and Jackson will hold a traditional wedding at home, so all family members are required to attend, especially the nuclear family.

"You okay, right, Fed?" ask Abigail. He glanced at Fedo who was clasping his hands very tightly. Abigail worries Fedo is envious or even overwhelmed by her sister's marriage.

"I look like a sick person, don't I?" fedo asked back.

"No. That's not what I meant" Abigail said. "Your face looks unhappy, I'm afraid you're overwhelmed by Kayo's marriage. Anyway Kayo got married first to you, Fed. I'm afraid you're feeling depressed!"

Fedo was quite shocked when he heard his mother's words. It's true that she was depressed just because Kayo got married. Is it in the part where he should feel depressed? How strange.

"Mother, I look unhappy it's not because I'm depressed to see Kayo get married to Jackson. But I became like this because Luri, I'm sad she's not here with me. It's true that Mom thinks I'm burdened to see my sister marry a man who loves her so much. There's-there's just," Fedo said, chuckling.

"Oh, because of Luri. Hufft, I've been pounding."

Abigail smiled because she had guessed wrong. And before arriving at the room where the event took place, Abigail took the time to invite Fedo to talk for a moment. Busy handling his daughter's wedding trinkets, Abigail forgot that her son's heart was not okay. Luri's departure to London has made Fedo's stance drastically change. At first Abigail was very worried and intended to take Luri forcibly to be brought back to her country. He could not bear to see his son constantly grieving and unhappy like a normal day. But his intention was prevented by Mattheo on the grounds that now is the time for Fedo to improve. And after being persuaded by this and that, Abigail finally collapsed and abandoned her intention to bring Luri home. He chose to follow Mattheo's advice by allowing Fedo to introspect so that his future could be much better than it is now.

"Luri's very good, ma'am. From the reports of my man, at the Luri campus known as a very active student. He also became the darling of his friends because of the kindness he had. And one more thing, Galang increasingly intensive approach to Luri. Fortunately, Luri did not respond back. If he responds, no matter if he will hate me or not, I swear I will kidnap and then marry him that very second!" fedo replied with a look of a face that was so upset when he said the name Galang.

"Ck, you're this. From the beginning, Luri had said that she would only take care of her heart for you. So how could Luri accept Galang to replace you. I would never believe that Luri could do that!" sahut Abigail slapped her son's arm. Fedo is jealous of Galang. So laughable.

"Who knows, Mom. His name is also love, could Galang khilaf then force Luri to accept his love? That kind of stuff I see on television a lot. So it's only natural that I can't ever trust that snot teenager?"

"Yes-yes-yes, it's up to you. What is clear is that I only believe that Luri will soon become Mom's daughter-in-law. Right no?"

With a big smile, Fedo nodded his head. She then hugged the mother's shoulder and kissed her cheek full of affection.

"Mom, when Luri comes home from London we go and propose to her, right? I'm afraid he'll ask for more time to work as a medical volunteer. He was an angelic heart, his soul must have felt called to help those in need. Yea?" feto Whine. He had heard reports from his spies that Luri wanted to register as a medical volunteer in one of the countries prone to disaster.

"Where did you know that Luri wanted to volunteer medically?" ask Abigail curious. His daughter-in-law is unique. When everyone is competing to work in a well-known hospital, Luri even wants to volunteer in a place that is prone to disaster. What a unique girl.

"Just when Luri gets home, Dad and Mom have to propose to Uncle Luyan. Okay, Ma?" fedo replied unwillingly to explain the reasons from which he could know all that.

"Hmmm, it's up to you. The important thing is that you and Luri get married" Abigail said as she stroked Fedo's head.

"Thank you very much, Mother. You're the best!"

"Yes, then let's go there. Kayo and Jackson must have been impatient to hold this customary wedding!"

"alright. Go, Mom!" fedo said with a heart that was so sharp. How happy is it not to have parents who are always supportive? And that is what Fedo has felt since becoming the son of Abigail and Mattheo Eiji.
