My Brother's Bed Rattles
Monthly Money

Next day.

Finished dressed neatly, Arga grabbed his wallet. He took some money from the wallet and handed it to Risa.

"This is your money" he said.

Risa grabbed the money from Rangga's hand and then counted the amount. The amount is much less than usual and it makes Risa so wonder.

"Mas, how come it's just this way?"

"For this month and so on, you are forced to cut your rations because our expenses have increased since the presence of Lily in our lives" said Arga with an indifferent face.

"Oh my goodness, my. Why do you say that. Remember, Mas! Lily is your child and you shouldn't consider her presence a burden in this family" Risa's annoyed with trembling lips.

"Ah, thats over! I'm lazy to argue with you" Arga said as she stepped out leaving Risa in the room alone .

Risa bowed sadly staring at the paper money sheet that had been handed by Arga to her. He was surprised, the more he came here, the amount of money given by Arga was reduced and the reason was again because of the presence of Lily.

Meanwhile.

Arga arrives at the dinner table and is followed by Mona behind him. Arga sits in his chair, and so does Mona.

Mona touched Arga's hand and stroked him gently. "Mas, thank you for the gifts, yes."

Arga smiled as he winked at Mona. "Either. Don't forget to give me the best service."

"Of course, honey."

"Oh, yeah. If you need more money, don't hesitate to ask me."

"OK!"

Bi Surti shuddered when he heard Arga and Mona's conversation. A conversation that sounded extremely disgusting in the middle-aged woman's ears. Not long after, Risa arrived at the room. Mona rushes off Arga's hand and refocuses on her breakfast. Similarly Arga, the man returned to acting as if nothing had happened there.

Risa sat down beside Arga. He grabbed an empty plate and filled it with the dishes that had been served on the table. The room was suddenly silent when Risa was among them. Only the sound of eating utensils fighting each other there. Eventually, their breakfast was finished.

"Oh yeah, Mona. Did you check your health today?" risa asked, breaking the silence in the room.

Mona nodded slowly. "Yes, Mommy. You're gonna be my friend, aren't you?"

"Yes. Just take Lily for a walk."

"What's wrong with you, Mona? Are you sick?" sela Arga with a cold expression looked at Mona.

"Ehm, I don't know, Mom. Maybe I'm getting anemia again."

"Anemia?" Arga watched Mona's beautiful face carefully. He realized that the girl's face looked pale and not as usual.

"Yes, yeah. Your face looks pale" continued Arga.

Arga never took Mona's face seriously. The important thing for him is to be able to enjoy the body as much as possible. Getting pleasure and satisfaction of his desires, that's all.

"Yes, Mas. The plan is today I will check my health to the clinic in front with Ms. Risa. Yeah, isn't it, Mommy?"

"Yes," Risa replied briefly and clearly.

"Yes, that's it already." Arga got up from his sitting position and then approached Risa.

"I'll go first."

A warm kiss landed on Risa's forehead. However, Risa did not respond at all. She was still upset with her husband. While Mona looked at them with an annoyed face. He really feels jealous if Arga is sweet towards Risa.

Arga.

"We'd better leave now, Mona," asked Risa.

"Good, Ma'am. Let me get ready first."

Risa returns to the master room to get ready, as does Mona. He rushed to the room and changed his clothes with a more polite one.

A few minutes later.

"Come, Ma'am. Here, let my Lily's carriage push," Mona said as she grabbed Lily's carriage from Risa's hand.

"All right."

Risa and Mona go hand in hand while pushing Lily's carriage. They walked to the clinic because it was quite close to the Arga residence.

On travel.

Mona several times glanced at Risa who had just been silent and did not say a word. Her lips were locked tightly and from the look on her face, Mona knew that her brother was in trouble.

"Mr. Mommy all right?" ask Mona.

Risa took a deep breath and then exhaled her back. "I'm fine."

"What the hell is it, Ma'am? I know there's a problem right now. Tell me that. Who knows, the burden in the heart of Mbak Risa can be slightly reduced" said Mona.

Actually Risa is reluctant to tell her family problems to anyone. However, because Mona is his sister, he believes that the girl will not divulge her family problems to anyone.

"So morning Mas Arga gave monthly money to Mbak. But ... The more here, the less the number. It's not really a matter of numbers, Mona. What makes you sick is the words of Mas Arga. She always blames Lily" Risa said with teary eyes.

"Well, how could that be, Mother?" peeking Mona.

"Actually Lily's presence was never expected by Mas Arga at all. He's not ready to be a father yet" Risa continued.

"Oh my goodness, Sister Risa. I can't believe Mas Arga can behave like that. She should be happy dong, getting a tiny baby as pretty as Lily" Mona said with round eyes.

Risa smiled wryly then patted Mona's shoulder gently. "Yes, it should be. Hopefully your husband will not be like Mas Arga. At least the man who can accept the presence of his baby" said Risa.
