Reaching Hope
Chapter 129 Misunderstanding
"You heard yourself, my husband has confessed everything" said the mother triumphantly.
"Why do you lie, I don't know you and never feel welcome at this boarding house" Clara said sadly.
The man's face was deathly pale, he just lowered his head and did not answer a word. Clara really did not understand why the man could defend her, even though she did not feel hurt anyone while in this place.
Pak Kholil and Yuni seemed to be in disbelief, all this time they knew Clara was never strange let alone to put a man into her room.
"You're an actor, claiming to be married but still itching with people's husbands,"
The mother shouted as she approached Clara, unexpectedly she grabbed Clara's long hair. Clara grimaced in pain, trying to escape the barbaric mother.
"Taste this," the mother kept pulling Clara's hair.
"Let go, sick," Clara asked.
All of them helped Clara in order to escape from the woman, even her husband also broke up. The mother power was so strong, after trying hard it could finally be released as well. But Clara fell to her knees, she immediately grabbed hold of her stomach.
"I'm pregnant young, if my baby is why - why would I sue you," cried Clara so emotionally.
"Oh so my husband has managed to plant a seed in your stomach! Great indeed you guys, I should have kicked your stomach earlier," said the mother stared emotionally.
"Shut up! It's enough that I've been patient, out of respect for your age that's older than mine. But the longer you keep trampling on my self-esteem! My husband is young and handsome, he can provide me with more than enough. Why would I lower my self-esteem by cheating on you with your husband" Clara cried out emotionally.
While still holding his painful stomach, he got up and began to approach the couple.
"And you, I don't know you at all why you want to slander me. How many people pay you to make my name tainted, just tell me if I don't want to report it to the police. Don't think because I'm a girl living alone here you're free to insult me!"
Clara pointed at the man, her eyes red withstanding emotions. The corner of her eyes began to condense, the longing for her husband and family as well as the pain of her heart being despised and slandered inflicted tremendous pain on her heart. Everyone who looked up was stunned, they did not expect a gentle girl like Clara to be that angry.
"I'm sorry, but I wasn't done talking" the mother's husband replied.
"What do you mean, just tell me everything. See that woman of the actor dares to yell at me, where there is a husband who provides more than enough but he lives in the boarding house," said his wife still did not want to lose.
Clara stepped in towards her room, with a slight whimpering of enduring the pain in her stomach she kept walking. It turned out that he took a pile of money and then threw it at the mother.
"Look at this, you think I'm lying. I'm sorry, but I'm not like you guys who like to slander others. My husband does give me more than enough to live, but I keep working because I'm not the type of woman who likes to depend on others even my own husband,"
The wad of money was flying freely over the mother's body, she could only gawk at the sight of a lot of money strewn about. Everyone was also surprised, because all this time Clara although her face did not look crumpled like a poor person but she was always frugal and never bought something expensive.
"Mother is okay?" ask Yuni.
"My stomach hurts" replied Clara.
"Please don't make my boarding child so hard, pity him to such pain. It is better to immediately say what he meant earlier," said Mr. Kholil firmly.
"It could be money from the results of the melac*r, not given by her husband," said the mother still did not want to lose.
Plaque...
Her husband slapped her hard until her cheeks were red, spontaneously he held her cheeks and grimaced in pain.
"Quite ma'am, don't embarrass me anymore because of this behavior of yours. Listen first if someone wants to talk, do not always cut it just like that" said her husband firmly.
"Sir, you dare to slap me just because of this girl? What has he given you so you can be so happy with me? Is he more important than me and your son?" asked his wife to start sobbing.
"Make him quiet first, let me explain so that there will be no misunderstanding. From now on you just talk non-stop like the train lost control" replied her husband.
His wife looks to put her mouth away, she does not like to hear the words of her husband who tends to corner her. Everyone seemed to be waiting for an explanation.
"Do you remember about 4 days ago our son was sick?" ask husband.
"Yes of course I remember, there is no need to ask things that have nothing to do with this problem, sir," replied his wife.
"It's exactly something to do with this, the money I made to take our son to the hospital was the gift of this mother" her husband pointed to Clara.
"Oh, so since he gave you the money then wants to make it an affair so?" tanyanya was very angry.
"I told you to shut up, let me finish talking. Later you can talk as much as you can after this," replied her husband.
Clara began to remember the incident a few days ago, when there was a motorcyclist who fell because he was not focused on driving. Coincidentally the man almost hit him, but soon realized he drove his motorbike to the side of the road and fell. After Clara asked, she was thinking about the medical expenses of her son who was being treated in the hospital so as not to drive. After advising him to be more careful he gave him money to treat his son.
"This is the one who helped support our son and he sincerely did, we also never met again after that incident,"
"What are you doing in front of this lady's room tonight?"
"I'm just a little worried, I just want to return the favor. I accidentally saw her from the puskesmas with a pale face, I just wanted to know her situation, I followed her to this boarding house. That night I came to see how he was, but I was confused as to what to say because we didn't know each other. After making sure she was okay inside, I went back home,"
