"Ceyda? Are you that?" the voice of a middle-aged woman, made Ceyda and Syma turn their heads.

"Karla?"

"Oh my friend, it seems to be you. Who's this beautiful woman you brought?" Karla looked at Syma with an amazed look.

"He's my son-in-law. Wife of Ersad."

"Holy? So you've made up with your son? Oh thank goodness then."

"Mother, I go cashier first. I'll just talk here." Syma stopped her words and turned towards Karla. "Miss I'll excuse you for a moment."

Karla nodded and smiled kindly at him.

"Ceyda, you're so lucky. Your daughter-in-law is beautiful and polite. He looks good too."

"He's a good woman. I'm lucky to have a daughter-in-law like her. Don't you have a daughter-in-law too? Then we're both lucky."

"Lucky what. My son-in-law was like a great disaster to me. I was confused myself, my stupid son found such a woman where. He is the best graduate. But looking for a wife. Only High School. It's a shame, "Karla was upset when she remembered her daughter-in-law at home.

"Don't demean your own daughter-in-law, Karla. That's not good. After all, she is the woman of your child's choice. She will also contain your successors. And when you're old, the waiters are more instrumental in taking care of you. So treat him like your own son. Because he got out of his parents' house to get into the new neighborhood it wasn't easy." Ceyda tries to change Karla's point of view. But unfortunately Karla is still Karla who is stubborn and wants to win by herself.

"care for me? Just so you know Ceyda. My son-in-law was his goddamn day. How will he take care of me later! It's not very annoying. I no longer deserve to do my homework. Because I became like a maid in my own home. You don't understand what my son-in-law looks like, Ceyda." Karla just kept grumbling. Telling his own daughter-in-law's disgrace. Makes Ceyda tired of hearing it.

"As far as you are Karla. I don't know who your daughter-in-law is. But my advice is, you better treat him well. Because usually people will behave, how do we behave to the person. The point is if we are good, then people will also be good.

Never mind...

I'd better see Syma, why she's been so long. See you later... " Ceyda soon caught up with Syma for fear that something might happen to her.

"Sorry Madam, this card can no longer be used," said the cashier employee returned the Syma ATM card. Of course Syma was astonished, even though she was never wasteful in spending the money Ersad gave her.

"Try this one... " Syma gave me the other ATM. If that too could not be, then he really could not pay for all his groceries.

"The lady doesn't seem to be able to either."

Sontak Syma was shocked and felt bad. He was getting confused, plus so many of his groceries. He had no choice but to cancel all his groceries. Although it must bear the shame of being noticed by many people.

"Em, sorry mbak. Then I won't buy. Looks like there was a mistake. Again I'm sorry." Syma looked down embarrassed as she walked out from there. But the voice of someone stopped his steps.

"Let me pay for everything. How many?"

Syma who felt familiar with the voice, immediately turned her head.

"Revan? what you paid for it. I've canceled it."

"No problem. Let me help you Syma. I know you need all that stuff."

"I really need. But I can't buy it now."

"Then let me pay for it for you" Saut Revan pulled out his card.

"Your husband will not be angry, because he will no longer be able to afford all your needs!"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh. You didn't know? Then you better ask your husband yourself. And if you know everything, just come to me if you need to. You remember my house, don't you?" Revan immediately left with an unreadable expression. Leaving a million questions to Syma.

'What happened exactly?'

"Syma, why stay here? Is everything done?"

"I didn't buy. My ATM can't be used, ma'am." Syma looked down lethargic.

"Then use your money... "

Syma shook her head hard. As a raw rejection. "No Ma'am. No need to worry. There seems to be a little mistake. We better get home first. I'm worried too, Zea will be looking for me."

Ceyda did not refuse. They finally came home with empty hands.

*****

It's almost late at night, Ersad hasn't come home yet. Syma waited anxiously in her room. Syma had also called him many times, but Ersad had not picked him up even once. That's why Syma is getting so nervous.

Syma accidentally opened the curtain on the glass window of her room, to look out. Whether Ersad has gone home or not. But the result is nil. There was no sign of her husband's return.

Eventually Syma gave up, and chose to sleep. Although his eyes were hard to close. But Syma kept her eyes closed.

Then the footsteps rang out in Syma's ear. She was sure it was her husband.

Syma quickly got out of bed. And it's true... Ersad has returned. But the sound of the man's car was not even heard in his ears.

And that made Syma even more astonished. Ersad came home in a disheveled and miserable state. His face was so angry and angry. Syma who wanted to ask about the ATM problem earlier, she immediately paused.

She realized that her husband was in need of calm right now.

"Mass? Do I need to get some warm water?"

Ersad just nodded slowly. Without looking at him. Syma herself knew that Ersad was harboring something right now. Butwhat? Her thought.

Syma immediately prepared warm water. And when the water is ready. Syma waited for Ersad to come out of the bathroom uneasily. Until Syma paced back and forth impatiently to hear her husband's complaint about what happened to her today.

Syma waited long enough. But his wait was not in vain. Ersad came out of the bathroom fresh. But his face did not change at all. Remaining in a state of disarray, there was clearly a lot of burden that he carried on his shoulders.

"Mas... Did something happen? Share with me. I know maybe I can't help you. But at least, share a little with me the distress of your heart, Mas... " Syma spoke so softly while touching her husband's hand.

Ersad looked into his wife's eyes before explaining everything. There was a sense of unwillingness to share the heavy burden he carried alone. He just wants to bear it himself. She doesn't want Syma to be in Stress, because of her problems. For fear of disturbing the fetus in the womb of his wife.

But seeing the look of the plea from Syma's face. Making Ersad run down. And inevitably he finally explained everything.

"We broke Syma.... "

SERIATE.....
