The Village And The Army
Hope Bu Sekar

“Nina, where are you going? Here.” Sekar who saw Nina was about to turn his body hurriedly called out to her.

Nina stopped the movement and just silently looked at the two with a dazed face.

“Where are you going?” Again asked.

“Em. Kevin uh means Mr. Kevin is back and it's time I go.” said Nina.

Hearing that Kevin was still indifferent. She continued to eat the cake and listened to her mother's conversation with Nina.

A moment later removed the smile on her face in shock at hearing Nina was leaving. He hurriedly approached holding Nina's hand. No, Nina can't go. He does not want to be lonely anymore.

“Nina, don't go. Where are you going? There are a lot of bad people out there. Just stay with mom. We'll open both businesses. Your many talents will surely succeed. Stay here well?” Nina's gaze now turned to Kevin who was staring at her flatly.

“Yes God that gaze why so sharp?” Nina screamed in her heart. The same look as Kevin found himself in the forest.

“No, Mom. Thanks for everything. Mr. Kevin has kindly given me a temporary place and introduced me to my mother. Now I..”

“Live here or will I return you to the village?” The threat from Kevin instantly made Nina's body freeze.

His lips were tightly shut in fear even his face was already pale at that very instant. Sekar does not like to hear the words of the child.

“Kevin, can not talk like that.” said Sekar advising the child.

“I don't like anything that makes mom sad.” says Kevin doesn't want to lose.

Here Nina just lowered her head not daring to make any sound anymore. The memory in his head was only about the village and the cruel father. Nina didn't want him to go back there.

“Let's go to room only.” The plan of Sekar guided Nina's body.

“Approximate break one week turned out to have to go far again. May the mother live long.” said the handsome man who really misses the moment of togetherness with the mother.

In the evening they dined with Nina at the dinner table. Since Kevin said that afternoon, the woman did not dare to make her voice at all.

While Sekar had persuaded him to stay in the house and planned to open a joint business. The first was a flower shop. Sekar wants to make Nina work with him and that indirectly makes Nina will depend on him.

One month of pregnancy has not been seen until now. Nina still can't tell that to the family she just met.

“Vin. You agree?” ask the child.

“Really, Mom? How to?” asked Kevin who did not understand and was curious.

He told me a plan he had thought through carefully. Ruko relics of the husband who is in the city center has expired rent by people who have a cake business. And he will wear the place after the renovation. Long breadth Sekar explained even he said if he had capital from the money that Kevin had given him.

Of course Kevin did not expect if the mother was still thinking of saving the real money for living expenses.

“Bu, the money I love is not for the tubes. I have to spend that money for my needs. For capital matters, I'll give it again later.” Shakes up smiling.

He was really happy to have a kid as good as Kevin.

“No, Son. You just save your money for marriage. Who knows you guys are dating.” Suddenly both Kevin and Nina's eyes rounded at the same time. They looked at each other in disbelief at the middle-aged woman's words.

“Have not been tense. That is if you are really a fool. I'm not forcing. After all, I feel sorry for Nina if you have to stay like mom. She'll be lonely.” Again Sekar said with amused stiffness.

Since then Kevin several times stealing glances staring at Nina who was eating greedily. His stomach is easily hungry to make the woman increase the portion of her meal.
