Forgetting the Ex

Forgetting the Ex
Chapter 7


"Gosh, I'm late for Sabrina!" Judis woke up and saw a wall clock showing at 10 p.m., after coming home from the cafe he threw himself on the sofa but fell asleep.


He saw his phone off, forgot to charge the battery. He took the car keys and ran and did not forget to lock the door of the house. It rained quite a bit tonight.


"He must have waited a long time" murmured Judis.


Meanwhile, Sabrina repeatedly called her husband but the number never came. He grew even more agitated as the water from the sky slowly descended.


He was increasingly unsettled slowly one by one his coworkers returned, the shop lights were partially extinguished.


Arvan, who was leaving the store and was about to go home, saw Sabrina sitting while holding her phone with anxiety.


"You haven't come home yet?" arvan's question surprised Sabrina.


"Suami hasn't picked up yet, sir!" the answer.


"Let's take me home!" tawal Arvan's.


Sabrina did not answer and thought for a moment.


"It's raining so hard, do you still want to wait?" ask Arvan again.


"But, Sir!"


"Have you contacted your husband?"


"Already, Sir. But the phone is off" replied Sabrina.


"Let me take you," Arvan bargained once more.


Sabrina still thinks, if riding a motorcycle taxi, no one would want to deliver rain like this with the conditions of the night.


"How's it?"


"Can, Sir!" Sabrina also accepted Arvan's offer to take her not to forget she also conveyed a message to the security guard if her husband picked her up saying that he had come home.


Judis, drive her car carefully because the road is quite slippery. He looked at the clock in his hand many times.


When he arrived, he saw the shop looking dark. He asked the security guard.


"Sorry, Mas. Is my wife home yet?"


"Already, Sir. Ten minutes ago," he answered.


"Who?"


"Sir Arvan."


"He who?"


"Owner of this shop" he replied again.


"Oh, then. Thank you, Mas!" yudis. Then he turned his car back to his house.


Sabrina, who had just arrived in between Arvan, saw an empty house. Many times she knocked and said greetings but her husband did not come out. He walked into the garage, he did not see Judis's car.


"Is he out?" ask in the heart.


Finally he decided to wait and sit on the porch. Before long Judis's car, her husband immediately got out of his vehicle.


"Darling, sorry. I fell asleep so I was late to pick you up" said Yudis, feeling guilty.


"It's okay, Mom. Why isn't your phone active?"


"I forgot to charge" Yudis said as he opened the door.


"Mas, is dinner yet?" ask Sabrina.


"It was in the cafe with friends" he replied.


"You?"


"Already, Mom!"


"Who were you being escorted with?"


"Sir Arvan, my boss."


"Is he young?"


"Maybe as you are."


"You must not be tempted with him" said Judis.


Sabrina looked at her husband and laughed a little."I'm married, where might dare to break the sacred promise of marriage."


"I'm jealous if you're close to another man" Yudis said.


"I'm also jealous to hear Mama name another woman and compare me to her" Sabrina said.


Judis hugged his wife's body from behind and whispered, "I love you."


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


"What time are you at work today?"


"Jam 2 noon, Mas!"


"I'll pick you up later" said Judis.


"But don't be late anymore, the phone's charging." Sabrina.


"Who is my wife" said Judis.


"Mother here? Later we visit them, if you resign and I take a day off work," said Yudis.


"Yes, it's okay."


"Oh, yeah baby. Tomorrow I will probably be home late at night" said Yudis.


"You're overtime, Mum?"


"No, but tomorrow I have to get out of town."


"You're not staying?"


"No, the trip to the next town only takes 2 hours" explained Judis."Sorry, I can't pick you up!" said again.


"No problem, Mom. I can ride a motorcycle taxi" Sabrina said.


Judis went to work, and before long her husband left, two men came to see Sabrina.


"Who are you looking for, sir?" ask Sabrina.


"Find Mr. Judis."


"Why my husband?"


"Look, Mom. Your husband Mr. Yudis owes us 3 million rupiah" replied a father kindly.


"Needs for what, sir. If I could know?" ask Sabrina again.


"I don't know, Mom. But the one that minjam Bu Linda and Mr. Judis as the guarantor," explained the father again.


"What other problems?" inner asked.


"They borrowed it two months ago, promised to pay it this month. But we wait not to come too" explained the other father.


"I'm sorry whose father's name was, huh?"


"My name is Andi and he's Jono."


"Look, Sir. My husband is working again, if you want to meet him can come back later in the afternoon," Sabrina said.


"All right, then thank you. Excuse me, Mom!" said the two fathers.


"Yes, Sir. Same," he answered.


After the two fathers left, Sabrina took her cell phone and sent a message to her husband.


"Mas, there were two fathers looking for you. She said Mama Linda has a debt and you're her guarantor" Sabrina wrote.


Before long, Judis replied to his wife's message."Oh, baby, I forgot to pay."


"Later in the afternoon, the father came back. You take care of them, I don't want to follow your problems" Sabrina replied.


"Yes, honey. I will meet them later" Judis replied again.


Sabrina let out a sigh, "My role with my mother-in-law is what she owes me. Never lacking," he murmured.


*


That night, when Judis picked up his wife. Sabrina ventured to ask again, "Has Mas met with Mr. Andi and Mr. Jono?"


"It."


"Have you paid?"


"No, I said next month" he replied.


"Isn't my salary enough to pay that debt?"


"I have other needs so I can't pay them yet" explained Judis.


"What needs, Mom?"


"Credit card payments are starting to swell" he replied again.


"Do you have a credit card?" Since when?"


"Since a year ago, I've always paid on time" he said.


"Mas, why aren't you being honest with me?"


"Darling, what matters is that I give you some shopping money. You must not think of my debt" said Judis.


"But I don't like it, Mom. We better live as you are, not excessive." Sabrina Protest.


"I promise after the car's paid off, I won't owe you again." Her speech.


"Including credit cards, you should also stop using that card." Sabrina.


"I don't want to be accused by your mom and sister of taking your money" Sabrina said.


"It will not be dear" said Judis."Have you had dinner?" tanyakanya.


"Not yet" replied Sabrina.


"We're looking for food, yuk!"


"We eat in the same place. I don't want your mom to show up and take my dinner ration, all of a sudden" Sabrina said.


"Yes, baby."
