Jenny turned on the stove in the kitchen. The woman wants to make hot chocolate for herself and Nirma. While waiting for the chocolate to melt, the woman looked sadly at Nirma. His best friend now looks not as happy as before.
Jenny has been very curious to know what Nirma experienced for the past year. But he also did not want to force Nirma. Jenny tried to calm Nirma down first.
"Jenny, aren't you coming home? It's already night." Nirma looked towards Jenny. The woman got out of the chair and walked over to Jenny. He wants to help his best friend in the kitchen.
"Just sit. Why do you have to come here? I can do it myself" Jenny refused as Nirma wanted to pour the finished hot chocolate into a glass.
"You used to always ask me to do this kind of work. Why do you make it yourself now? I still remember how to make delicious hot chocolate" Nirma protested.
"I don't want to accept your help. But, once in a while I also want you to taste my hot chocolate. I'm already married. In the future if Kak Ali asks me to make hot chocolate, I can already make it."
Jenny placed her hot chocolate on the dining table. The woman pulled up a chair and sat there. Nirma took the cake that had been prepared on the plate and brought it to the dining table. The woman had no taste to put anything in her mouth. But she doesn't want to let Jenny down.
"I was tricked by someone" said Nirma suddenly to make Jenny resist his movement when he wanted to sip hot chocolate made.
Nirma looked ahead with a pushy look. "I thought he was a good guy and wanted to help me find the company I worked for. But apparently not. He took all the money and stuff I had until I finally had nothing. There are no cell phones either. I was thinking of calling you and asking for help. But at the same time I knew that you were married to Ali. I don't want to cause you any trouble on your wedding day. So I decided to hang in there. Because of all the documents I lost I failed the interview and was rejected to work for the company. I do all the work to earn money. Unfortunately there to find a job with a large salary is very difficult. The money I got was enough to buy food. Until one day I met a woman. I thought he was as good as you. But in fact it is not. He just set me up. He sold me to a guy at a hotel. I -"
Nirma held back her sentence. It seemed that he was unable to continue his story until it was finished. The woman's voice was already hoarse and her two eyes had been filled with tears. Jenny immediately held onto Nirma's hand and rubbed it gently. He knew that his best friend must be very sad right now.
"But now you're okay. I won't let you suffer anymore."
Nirma nodded and looked at Jenny. She tried to carve a sweet smile on her lips so that Jenny would not worry anymore. "Although we were very close, but I don't want to tell you the truth that happened when I was no longer a virgin. It will be my secret to death. I don't want anyone else to know" Nirma murmured in his heart. The woman also tried to sip hot chocolate made by Jenny.
"Hows it? What tastes good. I'm sure it tastes a lot better than your hot chocolate" Jenny said confidently.
Jenny laughed amusedly at Nirma's words. "You can always praise me to the point that I fly. Please don't drop it again because it hurts so much."
"No way" replied Nirma. The woman lowered her glass and looked at Jenny seriously.
"I know you miss me, but you don't have to look at me like that" Jenny said with a smile.
"I went to this town because I borrowed someone's money. I promised him when I got to this town I'd pay for it soon. Would you like to lend me some more money. I knew I wouldn't be able to pay for all your kindness all this time. But this time I have no one. My real mother fell ill a few months ago. He is no longer in this world. We come from a difficult family. There is not a single bit of inheritance that he left for me."
"You don't have to feel shy. I will always help you as much as I can. If I may know, how much money do I need?" Jenny felt confident that she could help Nirma this time.
"One Billion," said Nirma heavily.
"One Billion?" ask Jenny again to make sure. It seems hard to believe if the cost of planes from abroad to the city where they live reaches one billion.
"I know you must think that there's no plane cost that's worth a billion. The money was used to redeem me from the woman who was trying to sell me. Without that kind of money, I wouldn't be able to come back here. I'm willing to work my whole life to be your maid to pay my debts." Nirma looks so frustrated that makes Jenny could not bear to see it.
"Don't talk like that. But now all my expenses are known to Kak Ali. He would have been suspicious when he found out I spent that kind of money in one night. A few days later, it was my shopping schedule. Brother Ali won't be angry if I spend up to a billion dollars. Can you be patient?"
Nirma nodded. "Thank you Jenny. If you need my help, just say it. Besides money I can definitely help you."
Jenny just smiled. The woman looked the other way and began to think about Nirma's words just now. "I know this is a bad idea. But I think Nirma is a woman fit to conceive our child" Jenny murmured inwardly.
