THE CHARM OF THE VILLAGE GIRL
(FEGG) ~ Prohibition Is Order

It does not feel like the day has changed months and the moon has changed years. Luri and Galang were close to completing their education in London. This year was the last year they were there.

"Lang, thank you so much for all the kindness you gave me during our stay in London. Really, I don't know what to do if there's no you" Luri said on the sidelines of her lunch with Galang.

Galang who at that time was chewing food did not immediately reply to Luri's words. He swallowed his food first then took a sip of the drink he ordered. Wiping his mouth, Galang spoke to Luri.

"You don't have to thank me for what I've done for you, Luri. You know why? Because I sincerely do it," said Galang while smiling intent.

Almost five years of living and attending school in the same place as Luri made Galang's feelings grow every day. But because of seeing Luri who was so focused on her study, Galang always undoes the intention to re-express her feelings. All this time Galang could only show the taste he had by continuing to give his attention to Luri. She always refused even the girls who wanted to ask her out on dates. A little over indeed. But what power, the heart can not be lied if Galang only wants Luri who became his lover, not another girl. And today Galang plans to express those feelings to this girl.

"Withole?"

"Hmmm?". Luri looked at Galang. " What's up, Lang?"

"I like you. And this feeling is still the same as I felt when we were in High School," Galang replied as he looked at Luri with love. "When you rejected me, you said you wanted to focus on school and achieve your goals. I understand, even I am very supportive of you even though my heart is a little disappointed. But now, you've got what you want and we're no longer burdened by schoolwork. So can we have a new relationship as lovers?"

Silent. Galang and Luri both fell silent afterwards. Soon Luri smiled, and the smile managed to overturn the world of Galang who was waiting for the answer of love from him.

A whoatt? Luri smiled at me? Does this mean she will accept me as her lover? Jesus, my heart is pounding, my mind is excited.

"Lang, thank you for being so loyal to the feelings you've kept for me. It's true that I turned you down for wanting to focus on my school, that's a fact!" said Luri. He did not feel surprised at all by the expression of Galang's heart. Luri was ready to give an answer, and told Galang that his heart had been owned by someone else.

Before continuing her words, Luri turned to the table where there was a beautiful student lunch alone there. Maybe because she felt noticed, the student turned and smiled. And Luri returned her smile with such a joyful feeling. How not! The student who was smiling at him was someone who Fedo deliberately hired to watch him during college in London. This is known because Luri once accidentally caught the student bringing in a man in strange clothes into his apartment which happened to be right next to Luri's apartment. And every time the strange man came, this student always took her to go for a walk together. Whether it is shopping, watching, visiting tourist attractions, and all costs are fully borne by him. Actually they weren't too close, but they would be like brothers if the strange man appeared. From these strange events, Luri finally realized that the student was Fedo's spy. The Japanese man is really not out of sense to find a way to continue to see him on the sidelines of the ban on both Luri's parents who ask Fedo not to interfere with his school first. How else. Fedo is still Fedo, a strange man who thinks a ban is an order that must be broken.

"Sorry Lang, my answer is still the same as when we were in High School. I can't accept you as my lover. But this time the reason was not because I wanted to focus on school, but because I had to keep a promise to someone!"

"So I was rejected again?" asked Galang while smiling wryly. Though he had flowered, who would have thought that he was happy because of his own expectations.

"Lang, don't be angry. I know it hurts your feelings, but how else. We can't possibly be in a relationship with a forced heart? You and I may not be lovers, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends!" luri replied trying to comfort Galang who again made her disappointed. "Now we are both adults. I'm sure you can understand my decision!"

"Who is that someone? Did he like you before me? Or is he someone you just met after we came to London?" cecar Galang wants to know. His chest felt like it had been pierced by thousands of sharp daggers. Destroyed has been his wait for five years. His love is completely unrequited.

"You know him. And yes, he already liked me before we even got close" Luri replied. "Name Fedo!"

"Fedo's?"

Galang immediately gulped down his drink. Really, it did not occur in the slightest that the man was someone who had managed to win Luri's heart. Though as Galang recalled, never once Fedo appeared since he and Luri were in this country. But why could Luri be so sure about rejecting him for a man who never even came to see him? It's weird, really very strange.

"Galun, don't think badly of us. Fedo never came here because my father and mother forbade it. But behind all that, he's the one who's been making things easier for us in London. Fedo never came, but his attention and support are always there for both of us. And as for your thoughts on why I rejected you. To be honest, I'm more comfortable that you're my best friend. It's not that I don't appreciate your effort and struggle to keep me here. But yes, I can only see you as a friend. And also, you don't really like me. You're just obsessed, you wonder why I can't be interested in you. Right no?" sahut Luri who finally told about Galang's true feelings.

"I'm obsessed with you?"

"Yes, the feeling you're craving for me is just an obsession. If you don't believe it, try to dive into your own feelings. You'll realize everything later,"

Galang. Is it true what Luri said if her joy is just an obsession? But how can it be? During this time Galang always prioritized Luri as the main one. She even rejected all the girls who asked her out because they were all nothing similar to Luri. Uh, wait-wait. Why does Galang so measure all girls should be the same as this village girl?

My God, so am I really just too obsessed with Luri? Fuck, why do I just realize now, Inner Galang shocked.

"Lang, do you understand that now?" ask Luri with a smile. He then touched Galang's hand, stroking it with great feeling. "It's okay. That doesn't mean you don't have the right to like me. Because love is basically the right of everyone. So you don't have to feel sorry or guilty. Okay?"

"So all this time I've been toyed with by my own obsession huh?" ask Galang not to believe.

"Come on, I'm confused on how to answer. What is clear is that now you know that the taste you are storing is not the actual taste. So my advice starts to open your heart to the girl you really like" Luri replied in relief that Galang did not go to avoid her.

"Do I have to do all that?"

"Emm, we'll never know if we don't try it first,"

"But who?"

"Galongs, you're how the hell. You've forgotten that during our stay in London there are so many girls asking you out. Try to approach one of them, then decide where your heart will dock!" sahut Luri's.

"If I'm still not interested in any of them how?" tanya Galang hesitated.

"That means it's time for you to approach Jovan, Lang," Luri slurted as she chuckled funnyly.

Galang. After that he laughed, not expecting that all this time he was lost by his own feelings.

Luri, thank you for waking me up. And thank you for smiling at me, even though you knew my feelings for you were just an obsession. Hmmm, even though it is heavy I will still pray for the best for you. And for Fedo, hopefully he is the best for you too, said Galang sincerely from the bottom of his heart.
