I'm Not Your Bridge
Chapter 3

Doc.file.

The loud sound of the door's pounding broke the silence in the morning. Nayyara and Aaron who were still sleeping asleep on top of their contest were shocked to hear. "Who's banging on our door so hard so early, Mom?" nayyara asked with both eyebrows linked together.

Aaron shook his head. "Eitherway! I don't know either, Nay."

There was a door sound in the door. But this time it was accompanied by the sound of a woman screaming. "Aaron, get out of you! I know you're inside."

"That's right, Mas, astonished again. Whose voice is that?" ask Nayyara back. He did hear the scream, but he didn't really hear what he was saying.

Aaron, who already knew who was forming the door as soon as he heard the screams, was still silent and pretended not to know. He pulled out the blanket and got out of bed.

Looking at her husband's movements, Nayyara asked, "Where are you going, Mas?" while catching her husband's wrist.

"You wait here. Let me see who's coming."

"Be careful, Mom! I'm afraid it's the bad guys who harmed you yesterday" Nayyara said worriedly.

Although her husband did not tell her the cause of the injuries all over her body, Nayyara could assume that she had just been beaten by someone. Seen from the bruises found all over his body.

Aaron nodded calmly. "You don't worry. I'll be careful."

Aaron went out of the room and opened the door. "What's so early in the morning that my mom's been banging on my door?" ask when the door is open.

There was a fat middle-aged woman standing before him with a waistline. Several bracelets are seen coiled in both hands up to the elbow limit. His ten fingers were adorned with rings with large stones. Not to mention the stacked necklace that coiled around his neck. If observed carefully, the woman is like a walking jewelry store.

Stand with his snob. His face covered by a powder that was thick enough to make him look very cute. But Aaron tried hard not to laugh because he did not want to make the woman offended and angry. Moreover, he knew very well who the woman standing before him was.

"Geez, Aaron. Do you really know what I'm here for?" said judes. His fingers pointed towards Aaron deliberately wanting to show off the jewelry he was wearing.

Come along with two burly men. Aaron knows exactly what he means here. He could only sigh heavily and then nod slowly. " Know, ma'am, "he answered softly.

"Good! Then pay the rent quickly this house. You've been waiting on the rent for six months, you know!" he said as he put his hands in front of Aaron.

"But the problem is that now I have no money at all, ma'am."

"All excuses! Last month you said that too."

"But I really have no money, ma'am," he said. "Please give me a little time to pay for it."

The face of the mother of the rental house looks very upset. "If it goes on like this, I dong the loser."

Seeing the mother's annoyance, Aaron had to kneel before her and plead with her deeply. "I beg you, ma'am, give me a little more time. I promise, this time it'll pay the rent."

Aaron sighed heavily and ignored the sneer from the woman. "If not a woman, I've slapped your mouth" he grumbled inwardly.

"Yes already then. Because I am kind, friendly, not arrogant and diligent in saving, I give you a week. From there, please leave this house. There are still many others who will rent it," said the mother of the homeowner with a very annoying style.

Aaron was so sick of the words of the woman who seemed to be praising herself. But he was quite relieved that finally the woman was willing to give him a little time. "Thank you very much, ma'am. I promise, this time will not disappoint mother" said Aaron with sparkling eyes.

The face of the house owner. "All right then, I'll excuse you. But in a week I'll come here to collect on your promise. Remember, if you can't afford it, get ready to get out of this house." After that, he left Aaron.

After the mother's departure, Aaron rubbed his rough face, breathing heavily. "Now what should I do? How do I get that kind of money in a week."

Meanwhile, Nayyara who was waiting in the room became unsettled because her husband had not returned. He decided to follow her to the main door.

Walking slowly out of the room, Nayyara said, she heard the conversation between her husband and the woman. But he doesn't know what they're talking about.

He also stepped closer. But suddenly she heard the woman who was with her husband talking about a rental house. He also scrunched his forehead confused. "Why is that woman talking about rent? What rent does Aaron have to pay?."

He also accelerated the steps. But once he got to the front, the woman had already passed away. "Who was that, Mom?" asked Nayyara while wailing to look for the whereabouts of the woman earlier.

Aaron, who was still sitting on the floor, was surprised to see his wife standing behind him. Then he got up so he wouldn't make his wife suspicious. "Mmh.not nobody. Only the salesman offers his wares," he replied lying.

Aaron deliberately did not tell who exactly the woman was because the wife did not know that the house they currently occupy is only a rental house. And he didn't want his wife to know about it. His pride is too high makes him not want to look weak in the eyes of the wife.

Nayyara fused her eyebrows together, not believing the answer her husband gave her. Where there are sales who offer their merchandise in the morning blind like this, especially in an impolite way like that.

"Don't try to lie to me, Mom! I heard that woman talking about rent. Who should pay the rent?."

Aaron flirted at his wife's question, not expecting that he heard her talk earlier. He racked his brain quickly to find excuses.

"That woman forced me to buy her trade because I had to pay the rent immediately."

That was the only reason that came to his brain. He could only hope that his wife would not suspect him.

Nayyara mangosteen heard her husband's answer. "Oh, so that's it. But nawarin stuff really not polite anyway. Wear vibrating-gedor door all over again."

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief to see his wife believe his words. "Easy! Don't think too much. Different people will be different ways," he said while draping his arm on the wife's shoulder.

Nayyara looked mangosteen, but the next second she stared intently at her husband. "Then why were you sitting on the floor, Mom?."

Aaron who continues in Brondong with various questions by his wife so a little upset. "Come, Nay. Don't confuse me with such questions. I'm not a criminal defendant who should be interrogated like this."
