The Part 23

After a few days of calming down at her parents' house, Novia returns to her home. It felt hard to go home, but what power she had to follow wherever her husband went as a form of service.

As was the case this morning, just now Novia was out about to dry clothes arrived - suddenly Mini mom appeared from behind the door.

" Where have you been a couple of days empty house ?" question with a cynical tone from Mini's mom.

" Kangen sama ina (grandmother ) and tata (grandfather ) Milla, so three days spent there" said Novia while wagging clothes and drying them.

Without giving an answer Mini mom passed leaving her daughter-in-law.

Novia finished her work and rushed into the house, she did not want to linger there as long as she could avoid it to maintain her sanity.

A few days passed, Pak Wahyu's struggle bore fruit, Novia finally got a recommendation to move on the job.

Hearing that Novia's heart was a little relieved. To report that Mr. Revelation deliberately visited his son's house.

Geck.

" Assalamu'alaikum "

" Wa'alaikumussalam "heard the voice of his father Novia rushing to open the door.

" Papa, come in "he said and grabbed his father's hand and kissed him.

Mr. Revelation stepped in following Novia in the back then they sat down.

Silent moment...

" Where is Milla ?" mr. Revelation asked his grandson.

"Sleeping pah, the ketchup came home from school" replied Novia.

Sir just nodded at Novia's reply and handed her a map containing the mutation file.

" This is the file, Alhamdulillah management runs smoothly according to expectations ".

Novia grabs the map and opens it and reads the contents of the Mutation with a smile.

" Thank God, thank you for the reward "he said and hugged his father's body.

" Yes, do your duty as well as possible because that is the mandate "reply to the Revelation while stroking the back of his son.

Novia releases her hug "what do you want to drink ?" ask Novia.

" Don't bother papa just for a moment, kasian mama alone in the house ."

" Yes, you've been saying goodbye first, greetings to Milla" replied Pak Wahyu as he moved on and stepped out in follow Novia.

Novia escorts her father to the terrace and Wahyu walks towards his car, Novia continues to stare at his father's back until he disappears into the car and leaves Novia's house.

Without Novia noticing, there was a pair of eyes watching him from behind the window who else if not the Mini mom.

" Why did Wahyu come here, what did he bring ?" he then closed the window curtains.

Novia goes into rereading the contents of the file, "Thank God this school is within close proximity of here " he muttered and put the file in the closet and lay down next to Camillah and fell asleep.

" Mama wakes up "Camilah pats her mother's shoulder, Novia twitches and looks at Camillah in front of her.

" I'm sorry mama overslept, baby, it's late afternoon "he replied and then woke up.

"We take a bath first yes soon papa come home" he said while taking a towel for his son.

Novia stepped into the bathroom and followed Camillah, finished bathing Camillah she also cleaned the house and took a bath to welcome her husband home.

Before long the sound of the roar of the car entered the courtyard, Camillah who was playing in the living room immediately got up. " Papa came home mah "he said.

" Yes, we wait here "he replied.

Irwan turned off the engine and went down and walked into his parents' house.

" Assalamu'alaikum" he said as he continued to step inside.

" Wa'alaikumussalam" replied Mini.

" Mah deposits me today "Irwan handed over a few pieces of money to his mother.

Bu Mini grabbed the money and then looked at Irwan "Wan, your in-laws came here this afternoon and brought something" he said.

" What is that ?" ask Irwan.

" Where does mom know ?! Ask your wife "sinny reply.

"Oh, I'll ask Novia " said Irwan casually then turned around and walked out.

Irwan stepped towards his house, he was curious about his mother's words just now.

" Assalamu'alaikum" he said as he stepped inside.

" Wa'alaikumussalam "sahut Novia and Camillah simultaneously.

Then Camillah ran towards Irwan.

" Papa came home" he said while struggling spoiled.

Novia approached her husband and grabbed Irwan's hand and kissed him.

" Eat or take a shower first ".

" Bath first, sultry all day" replied Irwan.

Novia got up and walked in to prepare a towel and clean clothes for her husband, then returned to accompany Camillah to play.

" Vi, was papa here ?" ask Irwan.

Instead of answering, Novia frowned in wonder why her husband could know.

"Yes, do you know where papa's coming from ?" ask Novia.

" I just deposited, said your mother, your father-in-law was here "he replied repeating his mother's words.

" Oh yeah, papa was here with the mutation file ", Novia replied.

In his heart Novia said apparently her mother-in-law had seen her father coming, and told Irwan.

" Where are mutations ?" ask Irwan.

Novia mentioned the name of her school "close by five minutes until "she answered with a smile.

" Thankfully then, the time and cost are reduced " replied Irwan while glaring to remember every time Novia to her distant place of duty, also requires a lot of costs for transportation.

" Yes can save time and costs so you can save money for labor costs and aqiqah later" replied Novia while stroking her stomach that had been seen starting to enlarge.

" Hmm" replied Irwan.

Not feeling the time continues to pass they are busy talking until the sound of adzan maghrib.

" Already adhan, let's want the city of prayer " said Novia then rise and step in follow Camillah.

One thing that to this day sometimes makes Novia's heart sad, Irwan never once moved his heart to worship. Only at the time of living with his parents Irwan occasionally participated in congregational prayers.

That is the reason Novia planted aqidah early on to Camillah.

After performing the prayer, Novia still took the time to teach Camillah to teach while waiting for the time, this habit is routine Novia do.

Not hearing her husband's voice, Novia glanced at her husband as Irwan fell asleep in the chair. He breathed in "hmm bad habits" murmured in his heart and refocused on teaching his son.

Adhan isya had reverberated, Novia stopped her activities and invited Camillah to pray isya, after which prepare the night.

Novia approaches Irwan who is asleep in the chair and wakes him up for dinner.

" Wan, wake up eat first and continue sleeping again" she said while shaking her husband's body.

Irwan woke up and gathered his consciousness, "what time is it now ?" ask Irwan.

" At half-eight in the evening, eating first and then continuing his sleep Camillah was waiting " replied Novia.

Irwan opened his eyes and got up and walked into the kitchen.

After eating Novia cleaned all the dishes and then washed them immediately, because her plan tomorrow she will visit the school where her new duties.

" Vi, I went out for a while to the patrol post talking to friends there ".

" Hmm just don't forget the time " replied Novia without looking at her husband.

After all her activities were over, Novia took Camillah to bed.

" Dear, let's go to bed tomorrow to wake up in the morning" he said.

And answered Camillah's nod, they slept until Novia did not know what time Irwan came home.

The next morning, Novia woke up and realized her husband was not in bed, then she walked out and saw Irwan apparently asleep in the living room.

As usual, he immediately prayed at dawn and then prepared breakfast and supplies Camillah.

Novia went into the room and woke Camillah up.

" Dear wake up in the morning, pray first dawn" while rubbing - wipe Camillah cheek.

Camillah wriggled and opened her eyes, "let's love mommy" he said again because Camillah was still reluctant to get up.

Camillah went to the bathroom to wash her face and told Camillah to take ablution.

After Camillah finished praying, Novia bathed her and put on her school uniform.

Then Novia approached Irwan and woke him up.

" Wan, wake up early" he said.

Irwan wakes up, Novia rushes to prepare towels and clean clothes for her husband.

" Come, everyone has breakfast first "decree Novia

" Wan, please take Camillah to school yes I want to take a shower and get ready to visit the school where my new assignment" said Novia

" Yes, Millah was among papa yaa "sahut Irwan while glancing at his son and answered Camillah's nod.

Irwan walked out to the car in the Camillah follow, looks like Mini's mom and Ahmad sir were sitting on the porch of his house.

Seeing Camillah going to school, Ms. Mini then greeted her granddaughter "aiih my granddaughter is neat to go to school" he said as he stood up and stepped over to Camillah.

" Salim used to be with grandma "ordered by Irwan.

Bu Mini then extended his hand and then welcomed Camillah.

" Milla went to school first" he said and got in the car.

Then Irwan closed the door and turned towards the next door and then went up, starting the engine.

" We left first "the farewell and in the nod of the Mini bu.

The car slowly moved leaving the Mini bu who continued to stare then turned back to step toward her husband.
