Triya was very nervous to hear Salimah's reply. Inwardly, he prayed that Salimah would agree with his request.
"I'm sorry Yes. I—"
Not yet finished Salimah spoke Triya had cut it by sitting near her best friend and grasping Salimah's hand.
"We're going to go to great lengths to find your husband Sal. Please think again," he forced.
The general who saw the attitude of the wife could only sigh heavily. Maybe it was so frustrating to keep Triya's conscience closed.
It was seen that Salimah rejected the wife's proposal, but Triya still kekeh persuaded with all his promises.
"Well, right, Mas? If you don't believe we can start today, right?" he said suddenly while crying tears.
His heart is fragile, so great hope for Salimah must run aground. He's not ready. Since last night he has been convinced that Salimah will definitely agree to his request.
"We can't force it, baby. Salimah must have his own reasons" replied the general.
Seeing the cry of the friend who is very heartbreaking a little makes it unbearable. But what can he do?
Since last night she thought that if she agreed to Salimah's request it would be useless if she could find her husband.
What should she explain if she later knew she was pregnant but the seed of another man.
Therefore Salimah finally made the decision to reject Triya's request.
After all last night he had opened a gift from Tuti and his family. The money of five hundred thousand was not much, but at least he could rent a place to live on the outskirts of the market.
He knew there was a contract made only of wooden planks, the rent was also very cheap. He also thought he would find a job in the market.
Although it may be just a shopkeeper or a manual laborer, he feels more meaningful than accepting his best friend's offer.
"Why don't you want to help me Sal? Your life will be assured. Your son won't be stranded, why Sal?" he said he didn't accept.
"I'm sorry Yes, I don't think I'm really ready to accept your offer" Salimah replied honestly.
Suddenly Triya got up and ran towards her room. His disappointment is unstoppable. He felt his hope was lost.
After this has been made sure that the in-laws will launch the action by presenting honey for him.
The sound of falling objects made the General and Salimah flinch. The room was not closed perfectly so they could hear the noise and the cry of Triya inside.
The general immediately rose to meet his wife, while Salimah could only stand with anxious and unwell feelings.
Before long the general came out with a tired face. He looked at Salimah. "You better get out of here. Sorry, no intention of expelling, I'm just afraid that Triya still sees you she'll push you back" explained the general.
Salimah was sad to hear the words of her best friend's husband. He knew that maybe Triya was still disappointed by the answer.
The goal is the market, because there is a cheap rented house that suits the current situation.
On the way, Salimah and Rino decide to stop at a roadside rice stall.
Time that was already noon made the stomach of both of them ask for his rights.
Rino, who is basically a submissive child and does not fuss about his food, was seen enjoying the roadside food.
Unfortunately, because it is not used to eating in such a place, Salimah does not pay attention to the innate, to make a person's ignorant hand managed to take his wallet.
Salimah did not feel until the two finished eating and had to pay, then he was confused to find his money.
His attitude became the attention of the shop owners and visitors.
As if understanding, the owner of the stall then said with a little ketus.
"You're a pickpocket, huh? So take care of the goods! I've found out in public places naro stuff carelessly!" grumbled the shop owner who felt that he would not get paid for the food that had been eaten by Salimah and Rino.
"I'm sorry Mom, I don't know, from earlier my bag is always next to me Mom," he explained.
As for Rino, the boy was already frightened when he saw the dislike gaze of the stall owner.
"Yes there you go, change for the others!" drive out the warung owner.
Forced Salimah to take Rino out of the shop. He was confused where else to go.
The money he had from Tuti had been lost in the pickpocket, while to go back to ask Triya for help he felt uneasy.
Salimah invites Rino to sit on a roadside tree, he is confused about where to go because he does not have the slightest money.
Luckily his phone is still there and not seized by the owner of the stall, it could be worse if he also had to lose the smart thing.
"Do I sell this book?" his monologue.
Thinking about what he was about to do, his phone suddenly rang. The name Tuti is on the screen.
"The tail? What's up, huh?"
