Love Me Please, Mas Duda
S2 - The Arrival of the Village Girl

Arshad deliberately did not say any words to Rosid and Amanda because he was still overwhelmed with feelings of annoyance. He did not expect there would be the practice of leeches in this modern era. And more surprising, no one dared to crack down on crimes like that.

Arshad chose to ask Mang Oding about who should be responsible for the village's illegal lending practices. Arshad gets to know Mang Oding when they accidentally meet at an event in the city.

Arshad heard the story of Mang Oding about the village where his birth is still left behind from other villages. Therefore Mang Oding chose to move to the city and improve the fate there.

After the meeting Arshad wanted to start a noble project by building a clinic in Mang Oding's home village.

"Mamang does not understand what Juragan Sodik did in this village, Mr. Doctor. What is clear is that Sodik has helped the economy of many villagers here. For the rest I did not know that the Sodik boss took a flower system that incriminates the citizens."

Mang Oding's answer made Arshad grow furious. "Yes already. Thanks for the info, Mang. Would it be better if I just met the kades sir?"

"Wow, Doctor, you better not interfere. It will be a long matter of his business. I don't want to happen to you, Doctor."

"You're late, Mang. I have been involved in this matter. So, I can't run away anymore."

Mang Oding only gawked at the explanation Arshad passed away. Arshad chose to go back to his house only.

...***...

The next day, Arshad, who was preparing to leave for the project site, was surprised by the arrival of the middle-aged man and his daughter who were helped by Arshad yesterday.

"Sorry, if our arrival bothers Mr. Doctor. My name is Rosid. And this is my daughter, Amanda. I deliberately sought information about the doctor to the villagers. I'm here to thank the doctor."

Arshad felt bad. The father and son came with various kinds of crops from their gardens.

"Ah, then please come in first, sir." Finally Arshad invited his guests in.

"Please sit!" arshad.

"Thank you, doctor. I don't know how to repay the kindness of the doctor. We're really not feeling good because the doctor helped me."

"Don't talk like that, sir. I only help people who are in trouble. I don't like people who treat others arbitrarily. Although Mr. Rosid has a debt to them, his desire is not to be oppressed like that. You can report the lawyer to the authorities or village officials. Their actions are already too much."

Hearing Arshad's words, made Amanda not accept. "Maybe for a doctor who has a lot of money and power, all those things are easy. But don't equate us with the doctor. We were forced to borrow money because our crops failed. So who is to blame here? Doctor, don't talk too much!" Amanda caught her hunting breath.

Rosid held Amanda's hand so as not to let go of the conversation. Her daughter was known as a brave girl. He does not hesitate to speak out against if what happened is not in accordance with the facts.

Arshad was quite surprised by Amanda's bravery. The village girl did have her own charm since Arshad first saw her.

"Sorry, Miss. I don't mean to reproach Miss's father. I just..."

"Ah stop! City people like you are hard to talk to. Hence it is better if this village is not visited by people like you!"

"What did you say?!" Arshad strongly disagrees with Amanda's accusations. Though Arshad came here with the mission began that is to build a health clinic that can be used by villagers to seek treatment if sick later.

"Amanda, don't be emotional, son. We came here to thank you. Not even arguing with the doctor," whispered Rosid to Amanda.

Amanda tries to catch her breath and suppress her ego. Although he does not like the way Arshad talks that seem to demean his father, but the fact that Arshad is their savior, Amanda he concluded.

"Easy! If you want to thank me, I have accepted it. Now I want to go to the project site. Sorry, I didn't throw you guys out. But I have to go."

Rosid glanced at Amanda and nodded slowly. Rosid chose to resign as well as Amanda.

Arshad stared at Rosid and Amanda's luggage which gave him so much of his garden.

"God! What am I going to use all this for? I'd better call Mang Oding." Arshad decides to call Oding and asks the man to bring all of Rosid's gifts.

...***...

Not discouraged by Arshad's attitude towards him, Amanda returned to the man's residence. Arshad, who had just arrived home, was shocked by Amanda's presence there.

"You? What else would you like to come here?" arshad asked, turning his face away.

Honestly, Amanda's natural white face reminds Arshad of someone. Arshad doesn't want to get carried away.

"I'm sorry, Doctor, if I'm so presumptuous to come. I'm so grateful that the doctor helped my father." Amanda said softly and reviewed her smile.

"Don't you thank me this morning? Why do you repeat it again?"

Amanda grimaced showing her neat rows of teeth. "It's true, doctor sir. But I still feel bad about the doctor. I want to work at the doctor's office. I can work anything! So the maid is no problem either!"

Arshad frowned confused at the request of this girl in front of him. "Then, we're talking on the patio chair. It's not good to see people."

Amanda nodded. They sat on the porch of Arshad's house. Amanda with her cheerful face tells of her life who used to do a lot of homework.

Arshad feels that Amanda has an interesting personality. "So, aren't you interested in venturing out of this village?"

Somehow Arshad wants to know Amanda's life more.

Amanda shakes. "No, Doctor sir. If I get out of the village, then who will look after my father? I can't bear to let you work alone in the garden. Fears bad guys like Sodik's boss are gonna bother my dad."

Arshad laughs at seeing Amanda's funny and entertaining way of speaking. It seems Arshad has found a way so that his life is not empty anymore.

"alright. I accept you to work here. You can start working tomorrow. You can clean the house and do the laundry maybe." Arshad.

"Did you cook, doctor? I can cook too! I will take it to the project site as well for the workers there. How's it?"

Arshad nodded his head. "May also have your idea."

Then the two laughed together. Amanda is a pretty fun girl and what she is.

From a distance, a pair of eyes noticed the interaction between Amanda and Arshad. He clenched his hands to see their closeness.

"Damn it! Just look out for you pretty cocky village girl! I'll make the calculations with you!"
