Mr. Amnesia's Wife
Owe a life
Aida seemed to be hesitating. He is considering more and more things now. Staring at Tono who he knew was indeed living in all his great trauma. And all the mysteries about Grandma's death.
"Mass?"
"Yes, Nur?"
"Aida get out first. Take a break in Dalem."
"Yes, I'll come out" replied Tono.
Aida met all her guests. There was also Mang Usman there, who served the guests well.
"Well, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yes, Da. What's up?" asked Mang Usman, who then approached him.
They sat, slightly angled at the back of the room.
"What was Grandma's condition, when she was found?" ask Aida.
"It's weak. But, Mamang did not know exactly how. Tono took him and carried him directly to Angkot. Mama's coming in the back."
"Oh, yes, Mang."
"What's up, Da? Anything on?" ask Mang Usman.
Aida then recounted all the words of those people. The words that made him doubt the truth that Tono had given him. Mang Usman just remained silent, then let out a long sigh, then exhaled with relief.
" A... You know Tono better. If according to Mamang who does not understand anything, Tono's actions are right. Not defending. But, if Tono is reckless in such a state, there are even those who are both sprawled there."
"I mean Mamang?"
"Yes, Mamang see, Tono was already very pale back then. Tono, it's already like a bloodied person. But he was still trying to run for help. Try Aida think. If Tono can't take the right attitude, surely Tono also fainted there."
"Yes, Mang. I'm sorry, Aida was suspicious." I regret. Aida just lowered her head, with all the anxiety.

The night has come. So many people gathered in that house to give a lecture. Tono also came along, although his face did look pale.
"Yes, strong. Just sitting down, right?"
"Yes" nodded Aida.
The event was quiet too. Although, it still does not look Om Edo there. In fact, Aida waited until midnight in the living room, and sat down on the mat.
"Nur?"
"Yes, Mom?"
Tono approached, holding the envelope in her hand. He gave the envelope to Aida. Which should be a happy moment, but precisely with a moment like this.
"This?"
"My first salary, Nur. We agreed, we'd change dowry to Aunt Rum, right?"
"Yes, Mas. Thank you." replied Aida, clutching tightly onto the envelope.
"So, I thought that money could still save Grandma. Although, I have to get back the sneer from Aunt Rum."
"Indeed it's Grandma's promise, Mas."
"Yes" replied Tono.
"I keep trying to make money, to replace everything you give me. But, when I have the money, even to save Grandma I can't. And then I realized. I don't owe you money. But, I owe you my life, Nur. Not worth all the money I gave you, because you gave me your life."
Nur came back crying. He spontaneously hugged Tono who was sitting next to him. And Tono, with her heart pounding so strongly, rubbed Aida's hair to calm her heart down a bit.
"Haishis.... Ssssstt! It could be them. It's in this state, but it's so." cutty Mei, who emerged from the back room. And finally, he retreated again slowly to make room for the two.
"Sleep, yuk." take Tono to him.
"Aida, Grandma's bedroom, huh? I'll take care of everything."
"alright. I slept first. Later, if there's anything call me."
"Yes, Mas." nodded Aida again, then took off the hug on her husband.
