500 Million Men
Chapter 26. Back As It Was


Fahri just finished his shower. The man was still rubbing a small towel on his wet hair. Suddenly, Sifa came to the room, calling Fahri.


"Mas, let's eat first. I've made you instant noodles" said Sifa.


Fahri smiled then then nodded slowly. "Alright," he said enthusiastically.


Fahri left his towel on the clothesline. The man immediately followed the wife who had prepared dinner for him, even though it was just instant noodles, but Fahri really appreciated the gift of the wife. He understood because Sifa was not good at cooking.


Fahri pulled one of the chairs. Then he dropped his ass there. The chair facing the wife.


"Thank you, my wife." Fahri reviewed his smile, looking at Sifa with gentleness.


"Let's eat it, man. The food will be cold" said Sifa.


Fahri nodded back. He also ate the instant noodles so voraciously. Tonight he really enjoyed the moment together with Sifa even though it was just eating instant noodles.


"You don't eat either?" ask Fahri.


"You know, I don't have dinner. I'll gain weight later" said Sifa with a smile.


"You just calm down. Whatever your condition, I will still love you, my wife."


Sifa smiled faintly at the husband's words. In his heart, he had prepared a thousand words to say the debt problem to be repaid immediately. He also has prepared various appeals later so that the husband will obey his words.


Sifa noticed Fahri eating his dinner. After the noodles run out on her plate, Sifa began to take a deep breath, to prepare herself.


"Mas, I want to talk to you about something" Sifa said.


"Talk? Speak what?" fahri asked again to put the warm tea he had just drank.


"That's .. debt problems with Elena," Sifa's great-grandson.


"The debt with Elena doesn't need you to think about. I'll take it," Fahri said very wisely.


"I just met Elena, Mas. He asked me to pay it off immediately and give me until next month" Sifa said.


"Front month?" Fahri's eyes immediately puffed when he heard the words from his wife. Sifa also befell him with a slow nod.


"Duh, how is this. If next month, chances are he doesn't have the money. Besides your debt is quite a lot. 200 million within a month is very impossible to get. Salary Mas was not so much," said Fahri while frowning his forehead.


Sifa. He didn't say anything. This time he hoped that Fahri would accept all that so that Elena would not expose her disgrace.


"Emmm ... here ...." Fury started to open his voice.


Sifa's face immediately turned grim. The face he had shown was sweet, instantly turning sour.


"What did Mas Fahri mean to ask like that?" ketus Sifa's.


"Honey, it's only natural that Mas asked that. Because Mas feels you are always complaining about lack of money, while your debt is in large amounts, and Mas does not know you use anything," said Fahri, said, try as wisely as possible so that the wife does not feel offended. But, for free. Because Sifa is stubborn and does not want to be criticized.


"Now I'm asking you the same question, Fahri. Do you support it or not?" sifa said in a high tone.


"You haven't answered my question, Sifa."


"Mas, don't bother. Just answer me, can you or can't you?" Sifa looked at her husband nyalang.


"I can't afford to pay for it all at once. I don't have that kind of money! If your friend gives you a longer period of time, maybe I can think about it, Sifa." Fajri also chimed in his wife's words in a high tone.


"No, Mom! But anyway, I have to support it. Is it not the duty of a husband to support his wife? My debt includes your debt, too, Mom." Sifa still kekeuh forced Fahri to pay all the debt.


"But Sifa, how should I make that kind of money. My salary is not much, and the environment where I work is also not necessarily willing to lend that much money," said Fahri. His breathing began to be irregular because it was urged by the wife who had to respond to the wishes of the woman.


"I don't care, Mom. Your duty must be fulfilled! I am in debt because of the lack of money you gave me. The point is I don't want to know. You ... have to pay for everything even if you have to pawn that self-esteem" Sifa said. The woman got up from her seat, and then walked into the room with a quick step.


He slammed the door of the room quite hard, causing a loud enough sound. Fahri could only close his eyes. He tried to be patient with Sifa who was becoming more and more.


"I guess you've really changed even better. But apparently, my guess was wrong. Your attitude is even worse" murmured Fahri.


The sweet thing is created, it only happens for a few minutes. After that, it came back to how it was. Where problems always arise and the wife who is stubborn and acts as she pleases.


Fahri breathed long. He cleaned dishes and dirty glasses from which he ate. The man walked towards the sink, his hands washing the cutlery he was using earlier, while his mind was withering. Fahri is still thinking about how to get 200 million in one month. Even touching that kind of money, Fahri never.


"You, .. have to pay for everything even if you have to mortgage your pride."


Still ringing in his ear the sentence uttered by the wife. So badly pierced his heart. As if Fahri was only considered one eye by his own wife.


Fahri clenched his hands, then punched the ceramic side next to the sink. He was really upset when he remembered Sifa's words earlier. His brain ordered Fahri to give a little lesson to his wife. However, a small heart rejected it. Sifa is the woman he loves. The only thing he had and he had to take good care of was the message of his late mother before she died.


Whatever her attitude, she's still your wife. Take good care of her like her parents have been looking after her all this time. Don't make her cry, try to make her happy. It is your duty as a husband. His parents entrusted him to you because they judged that you were the right person, so they left his precious daughter to you.


Falk always remembered the message. Message from his late mother. Therefore, he tried hard to make Sifa happy, even though his efforts seemed invisible to the wife.
