After Erik's departure, Linda got up and walked to her room. He opened his wardrobe then took out one of the clothes that folded neatly inside. Linda took the small wallet out of the pocket and took out all the money in it.
"One million," Linda murmured after she finished counting the money in her hands. Actually Linda was hesitant to give this money to Erik. It's his only storage. His savings from the results of sewing that he set aside little by little.
Linda was thinking of borrowing from her sister, Sari. But he remembered he had two months before he had already borrowed it to him and until now he had not been able to return it. So Linda had to use her savings so Erik wouldn't be angry with her.
Two hours later, Erik returned home.
"Where? Did you get the money?" asked Erik without further ado. Linda just nodded.
"Where?" Erik put his hand.
With a heavy heart Linda gave the money to Erik.
Erik recalculated Linda's money. His eyes immediately rounded as soon as he finished counting and knew the number was even one million.
"Thank you, baby ... You are really reliable," said Erik while peeking at Risma's forehead. His attitude towards Linda changed. "It turns out I didn't choose you wrong to be my wife" Erik said, poking Risma's chin.
Linda put a smile on her lips. Just treated like this only Linda's heart immediately flowered and in an instant she forgot how Erik had behaved to her before.
Erik didn't even ask where Linda got the money from. He doesn't care. All he knew now was that the money was in front of his eyes.
Erik kept the money in his wallet.
"But Mas ... I don't have the money to buy side dishes and vegetables."
Erik's face instantly turned sour at Linda's words. Angrily he opened his wallet again and took out one hundred thousand pieces of money.
"This ... !" Erik gave the money to Linda with a sour face. "Don't I give you a hundred thousand?!" grouser Erik.
"It was a week ago, Mom."
Erik only gave a hundred thousand rations for a week. He didn't care if the money was enough or not, Erik didn't want to know. He only knew every time he came home there had to be food at the dinner table.
"It's also time to pay for Aruna's tuition" Linda added. But Erik paid him no heed.
"Pay with your money, right? What kind of money from sewing did you use for? Time from the past until now sewing has no results?!" Erik really did not want to know the financial affairs of his household.
During this time the money from sewing Linda he used to meet daily needs because the money of one hundred thousand from Erik was not enough for a week. Let alone a week, enough for three days is already amazing.
"Usually I also use my money, right? I don't have any more money." Risma answered.
"Later to find it. I have to go now!" Erik told Linda. But instead of leaving the house, Erik went into the room.
A little while later Erik came out of the room and had already changed his clothes. Erik looks very neat and handsome. He looks more like a young boy who will hang out than an online taxi driver.
"Where are you going, man?" ask Linda with a little fear.
Linda did not dare to ask any further. He only looked at Erik who had been buying new clothes lately. How could Erik buy those clothes if he never had enough money to pay for the installment of the car?
Whereas if Linda wants a new dress, she will buy the cheapest fabric on the market and sew it herself, and that does not have to be once a year.
Likewise Aruna, the only princess with Erik. Rarely did Linda buy new clothes for her son. Linda often made clothes from the rest of the stitching cloth that was deliberately left by her customers. Luckily Aruna is a submissive child like herself. He never protested with Linda's makeshift clothes.
Eleven o'clock in the night Erik just got home. Linda hasn't slept yet because she still has to finish the stitches.
"Have you gone home yet?" welcome Linda. Erik just nodded and walked past him.
"Would you like to eat first?"
"I ate earlier," replied Erik indifferently.
"Mas, did you get the money to pay for Aruna's tuition?"
Erik stopped his steps. He turned around and looked at Linda cynically. It just freaked Linda out.
"I really don't have any money, Mas" Linda said softly without daring to look back at Erik.
"Can you see I just got home?! I want to rest, not even be asked to think how to get money?!"
"But Mas .. didn't you work all day? Did you get any passengers at all?" Linda emboldened herself. He was really desperate. If only he still had the savings, he wouldn't dare to ask like this. He would rather use his own money than have to get Erik's anger.
"I told you, use your money first?! You have money, right?!"
"I used my money to cover the lack of car installments this afternoon. That's my savings." Erik did not get angry at Risma's explanation.
"Yes already ... " Erik took out his wallet. "How much?"
Linda can see the money in Erik's wallet. Erik had money, but he only wanted to use it for himself.
"One hundred thousand," Risma replied as she continued to look at the contents of Erik's wallet.
Eric gave a hundred thousand to Risma. "You've spent two hundred thousand all day!" erik grumbled as he passed leaving Linda.
Linda just fell silent. Erik's words were quite offensive to him, as if the two hundred thousand dollars Linda used for her own purposes. Why does Erik seem not willing to spend a hundred thousand for his son while Linda willing to give a million for the installment of his car?
Linda sat back in front of her sewing machine. His eyes glazed over as he thought of Erik's attitude towards him.
When Erik's parents were alive, everything was easy. Although Erik had a family, they always gave Erik what he needed including money. They pamper Erik very much and never tell him to work. Erik and Linda's needs they're meeting everything.
Things get tough after Erik's family venture goes bankrupt and Erik's father dies. Erik must accept the fact that his father left a lot of debt and made him have to sell his property to pay off the debt. His mother died soon after because she could not accept the reality and was sickly.
That's how Erik's attitude changed. He becomes irritable and irritable. Erik never worked his whole life. He is not used to living a difficult life, he is not ready if he has to slam the bones to support his wife's child. He is not willing if the money he makes should he use to meet the needs of others, even if it is his son and wife.
