"What's? Did you meet him? What did he ask?" yana Cecar.

"She asked me why Clara and I were there, I explained the truth" Rudi said.

"Gosh, Mas. You're embarrassing me" protested Yana.

"Then why?"

"He knows you have a car showroom" replied Yana.

"It's your own fault, why not be honest?"

"Mama asked" replied Yana.

"Yes, I want to eat." Said Rudi opening a packet of rice Padang.

"Es the cream is delicious, Ma. Aunt Sabrina is a good person" said Clara. "Mama want?" the bargain while showing candy and chocolate bars.

"Mama doesn't want to" he replied.

"You don't want this rice, too?" ask Rudi.

"No!" the answer.

"All right, let me just eat. You also do not cook," said Rudi then called his daughter to eat together.

"I also don't cook because you don't give me shopping money" Yana said.

"All the severance pay, I love you. Time is no more?" ask Rudi.

"Yes, it's over" he replied.

"That's all gone in a week?"

"I.iya," Yana replied nervously.

Rudi just shook his head to see the nature of his wife. As she continued eating, Yana only saw and swallowed the saliva.

"Who's looking, Mas?" ask Sabrina.

"Find Mr. Judis" replied the man.

"Why my husband?"

"I want to give you this" the man thrusting the envelope.

Sabrina immediately opened the contents of the envelope turned out to be a car installment bill.

"Trial let alone this," inwardly.

"How, Ma?" ask the man again.

"I'll tell my husband. Thank you, Mommy." Sabrina.

The man also left.

"Yesterday 3 million debts have not been paid, now delinquent car installments," Sabrina murmured.

In the afternoon, Judis returned from the office. His wife looked uncharacteristic who was always smilingly welcoming him.

"Why you, baby?" ask Judis.

Without answering, Sabrina thrust out a letter.

Judis read it and breathed.

"Explain me!" Sabrina.

"Sorry, baby!"

"Mas, said he could not pay the 3 million debt because he wanted to pay car installments and credit cards. This why are there arrears?"

"Mas has to pay debts to coworkers" Yudis said.

"That's for what, Mom?"

"The cost of our marriage" he told a lie.

"So you haven't saved up for the wedding?" asked Sabrina annoyed.

"No!"

"Gosh, Mas!" sabrina was disappointed.

"Why didn't I know that before. Mas, it's disappointed me." Sabrina then went into the room.

Judis followed his wife into the room and saw the woman he loved crying.

"Darling!" call gently.

"Mama told me to save money but you are wasteful yourself, as if I exist to spend your money when you only give me 30 percent of the salary," Sabrina expressed her frustration.

"I promise not to owe you any more" said Judis.

"What credit cards do you have?" ask Sabrina again.

"That's for shopping for my needs, Brother Yana, Papa and Mama," explained Yudis.

"What!" sabrina was surprised.

"From now on stop using the card and pay the bill" advises Sabrina.

"Yes dear."

"I'll help, Mom. Pay off half the car installment arrears" said Sabrina.

"No, it's my responsibility." Yudis.

"It's okay, let the debt be settled immediately." Sabrina.

"Thank you, baby!" said Yudis smiling.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

"What wife did you make breakfast for?" ask Mama Linda who came back home.

"Just a strawberry jam sandwich and a glass of milk. Mama want Sabrina to make it?" bargained for.

"No need, Mama's had breakfast at home." Answer Linda.

Sabrina just smiled faintly.

"Mama's here to ask for money, Judis." Her speech.

"Judis don't have money, Ma." Answer his son.

"You have no money!" linda protest."Mama only asked for a million," he continued.

"Nothing, Ma." Saying Judis again.

"It must be your wife who forbids it" said Linda glanced at her daughter-in-law.

"No, Ma. Sabrina never forbade Judis from giving money to Mama" he said.

"Keep why don't you love Mama?" ask Linda to be curious.

"Yudis have to pay the installment of a car that is in arrears 2 months," he said.

"Just try your rich wife won't wait, it's all because of the cost of your wedding." Say Linda.

"No, Ma. Not because of Sabrina but because Judis was wasteful and spoiled Mama and Kak Yana," said Yudis.

"So you're not giving us?" Linda started to get emotional.

"Open it up, Ma. Judis has a family so yes should be able to save and save" explained Judis.

"Have your wife help pay the car installments, she enjoyed it too" Linda said.

"It should be the responsibility of Judis, but Sabrina also helped" he explained.

"Yes if you don't want to help. Mama wants to go home" said Linda standing up from her chair.

"Do you want Judis to come?" bargain son.

"No need" replied Linda.

Judis sighed, as Mama Linda left their home.

Sabrina rubbed the back of her husband's hand. Judis looked at his wife's face and smiled faintly.

"Are you selling today?" ask Judis.

"So, Mas. From yesterday I promoted on social media and today there are two friends of mine who ordered," said Sabrina.

"Hopefully smooth, yes!" Judis is encouraging.

"Thank you, Mum."

Judis went to work and Sabrina began to work on orders from her friend.

Not until 3 hours, the order of friends Sabrina finished the delivery process.

The woman took orders on her motorcycle. After delivering the order he stopped by the house of his best friend Meli. They chatted to each other by chance today his friend is off work.

It didn't feel like it was late afternoon, Sabrina said goodbye. He runs his vehicle carefully. Because the traffic is pretty heavy.

He tried to cut the road, he passed a small alley. Because less careful a car nudged a motorcycle belonging to Sabrina who just came out of the mouth of the alley. Make himself fall. The car stopped and the driver got off.

"I'm sorry I didn't see any motorcycles" he said.

Sabrina, who was standing by, helped the people, clean her dirty clothes. "Other times be careful" he said, raising his head.

"Sabrina!"
