Handsome Husband Wife Unapparent
Big deal

"Sister, outside there are two big tall people looking for Brother. Looks like they're debt collectors. Does your brother have any debts?"

Sarah asked Jacob who was preparing to go to work. This morning they had two uninvited guests.

"What debt? You know for yourself, if I've never been in debt at the bank. I was forced to guarantee our home certificate yesterday because it was loaned with Irfan and the loan was also without interest." Jacob was surprised by Sarah's words.

"Yes, meet them first, brother. I wonder what they need."

Sarah and Jacob met two people sitting in the living room. Jacob was curious about their arrival. While Sarah's feeling is suddenly agitated.

"Sorry, with Brother Jacob?"

"Yes, I'm alone. What's up, huh?"

"We are both from Bank Nusantara. We just want to remind you that at this time your loan is due."

"Sorry, what loan? I don't have any debt in the bank."

They both gave Jacob a brown envelope. After opening it and reading it, Jacob was very surprised. He could not think clearly and was confused, how could such a large number of loans be listed on his behalf?

"How come? I never even signed any of these documents!" Jacob said firmly because he did not accept what he had read.

"Sorry, if you do not accept and consider us fraudsters, please come directly to the Bank. We only give a warning that you will give us three months to pay off the loan. Otherwise, we have to confiscate this house and we will auction."

"Three months? Auctioned? But this loan amount is huge. I can't pay it off in three months. Then if it's auctioned, will I get the sales money as well?"

"Later if there is any residual of the proceeds from the sale of this house after deducting the total loan along with the interest and fees, you will be contacted. Sorry, that's all we can say. For more details, please come directly to the Bank. Then, we'll excuse you."

After greeting them, they left the house. Jacob just sat down and looked at the paper he was still holding. He could not believe what was happening to him right now.

"Astaghfirullah .. has Irfan deceived me? How could he get this hard on me?"

Sarah understood even though Jacob had not told her everything. He also sat next to his brother.

"Sister, who is patient, yes. Brother, don't panic yet. Try Brother Irfan's phone, maybe he can explain everything."

Jacob took the cell phone in his room. He repeatedly calls the man who is considered his best friend, but his number is inactive. Jacob rubbed his face rough, his heart began to fidget with anger.

"I'm going to his house. I hope he doesn't run away."

"I'm coming ...."

"Don't! You're at home. This is my responsibility. I'll finish it."

"Alright .. but please calm yourself. Don't speed, yeah, brother."

Jacob passed by and stepped off to split the streets with his sport bike. Sarah can only pray and hope that everything is okay.

***

Sarah waited for her brother in front of the house restlessly. It's almost eight o'clock in the night but Jacob hasn't come home yet. Only dhikr and do'a can not be separated from his lips. I hope her sister is okay.

Until the time showed ten o'clock at night, finally heard the sound of motor sport that stopped right in front of the house. Sarah who was teaching in the room, immediately walked forward to meet her brother.

Jacob saluted and went into the house with a lethargic and uninspired face. Sarah who understood the situation, immediately back made warm tea for her brother. Judging from Jacob's current facial expression, he understood that their current state was not okay.

"Sarah .. I'm sorry ...."

"Rest, Brother. Tomorrow morning we'll talk. I don't want you to be sick, we have to be strong to deal with everything, no matter what."

Jacob nodded weakly. He immediately finished the warm tea and walked to the back of the body cleaning. Before going to bed, do not forget to carry out the obligations of four rakaatnya first. In his prostration he poured out his heart and cried bitterly.

The carelessness of trusting an old friend too much, makes him have to lose his parents' house. Jacob felt that it would be impossible to get hundreds of millions of dollars to pay off the loan within three months.

Tired of crying and praying, Jacob tried to close his eyes. He also tried to think of a way out of the big problems faced at this time. Finally, fatigue from a day of driving on the streets, making him sleep.

"Sorry, Sarah. Forgive your stupid brother. Irfan had not lived in his big house for a long time. The house was sold a year ago and she lives with her uncle. I tried yesterday to find the address of his current home and it turns out that his uncle is dead and he lives where no one knows. I'm careless, I'm sorry ...."

"Astaghfirullah .. we can only undergo all these tests patiently, Brother. Even though we are angry for nothing, everything has happened. Now all we have to think about is, if we can't pay the loan and the house is confiscated, where are we going to live?"

"I'm gonna find a contract, Sarah. Sorry, I can't pay that much loan. I have a little savings, God willing enough to pay the rent for one year. Thank God, the certificate of the workshop building at that time I did not submit. At the very least, we can still earn income every day."

"All right, I agree. If you can find one that is close to the shop. Let me walk if I want to go home, so don't have to wait for you."

Jacob agreed with his brother's advice. They immediately went to the workshop to work. His parents' workshop is indeed quite far from home, because his father is looking for a more crowded and more strategic place for his business.

"Sarah, I have information that in the front housing of the workshop there is a house for rent. The price is not too expensive because the rich have and just want the house there to take care of. The house is small but there are two rooms. But in the back block itself, what do you think?"

That very day, Jacob immediately looked for a rented house close to the workshop. Sarah who constantly gave him spirit, made his heart stronger. He didn't want to look bad in front of his sister. Even in my heart, I wanted to scream loudly at myself.

"It's okay, brother. Thank God for our rizqi then. Brother if okay, I'm okay too" Sarah replied with a smile.

"Alright, I will love DP first let not first people. Sorry, yes, Sarah. Forgive your careless brother."

"Already, Brother. The important thing is that we are both patient in facing this test."

"God willing ...."

"If you need money, I also have a little savings."

"Save it for your needs. God willing, my money is enough to pay the rent for a year. For the needs of each day, hopefully our workshop effort is smooth."

"Aamiin Ya Rabb ...."

"Sarah, let's go home. We start packing tomorrow, yeah."

"So, how about some of our stuff just sell?Like tables and guest chairs, large cabinets are in the back room. Instead of not being used, enough money can make additional rent."

Sarah gave Jacob advice. The furniture of his parents is quite a lot and unused. Their house is simple but the size is wide, especially so far they only live alone.

"But ..it's all the relics of our parents, Sarah. I'm afraid that if we sell in the market place, the price is cheap." Jacob disagreed with his brother's advice. He also felt more guilty.

"Hemm ... How about we offer it to Naila?"
