The Part 29

A few days passed since the incident Novia continued to live her days as usual, in contrast to Irwan who was still reluctant to set foot into his parents' house.

He still harbored a disappointment in his father who easily asked his affair to come regardless of his mother's feelings.

Today is exactly at half-ten, it's time for the kids to rest. Novia chose to sit in class because of fatigue, because her gestational age has run 34 weeks.

" Finally, I am often tired, every day I come home late because waiting for public transportation, should I buy a motorbike huh.?

" You didn't go to Vi's teacher's room ?" diana's sudden voice standing in front of the door broke Novia's daydream.

" I'm just resting here, going back and forth from the teacher's room makes me tired."

" How old are you now ?"

" 34 weeks, but my pregnancy this time a little different tired and often crowded "he replied.

" Yes, you just rest me to the teacher's room first huh" said Diana as she passed away.

Arriving at the teacher's room, all had gathered and it turned out that there was an important meeting and delivery from the principal.

" Where's Novia ma'am ?" Mr. Rizal circulated a look for Novia as only she was not present in the teacher's room.

" Novia's in her class sir, want a break she said."

" Please call Diana here first, there's something important I'm going to say."

" Yes sir" he answered and stepped into Novia's classroom.

" Huuft is so troublesome, do you think only you are tired ? I have also been asked for many reasons !" grunts while walking.

" Vi, called Mr. Rizal, said there was an important meeting "he said and immediately turned his back to Novia and walked back to the teacher's room.

Novia turned her head not yet had time to answer but Diana was gone. Then he stepped up and walked towards the teacher's room.

"Assalamualaikum "Novia goes into the teacher's room.

" Waalaikumussalam" Rizal and the other teachers replied.

Novia then looked for an empty chair and sat down, appearing in the corner of the room, Diana was busy with her phone looking annoyed when Novia came.

" Well, our fathers and mothers started meeting today, there is an important delivery from the Department to fulfill the implementation of the Final School Examination. Therefore I ask for good cooperation from your parents, especially for the teacher of class VI."

After a long explanation delivered by Mr. Rizal and refuted by several teachers, finally the meeting was completed.

All teachers return to their respective classes to continue the lesson. The same is the case with Novia, because second-graders schedule faster than other classes then students go home faster. Then he completed some assignments and preparation of teaching materials for the next day waiting for the time to go home. Novia glanced at the clock in her hand.

" It's one o'clock, Camillah must have gone home." he murmured inwardly.

Before long the bell went off, Novia cleaned up her class and picked up the bag and rushed out to walk towards the gate.

Two o'clock in the afternoon Novia arrived home. His face was very tired, Irwan who had been sitting staring at his wife who was sitting on the floor flexing his leg muscles.

" Daily you come home at this hour Vi ?"

" Of course, that's why I always bother to pick up Camillah, fortunately every day there is a teacher who wants to take her and accompany her at home before I go home."

" Wan I have a little savings, what if we buy a motorbike ?" continued again.

" Whatever, it's money from your income you want to use for what please."

" Hmm okay, uh where's Millah ?"

" Sleeping, going home from school he ate a little and fell asleep."

"Wan, until when did you survive like this ? The car's been parked out front for days."

" Why be offended ?" he murmured in the heart.

" That's not what I mean Wan, I just feel sorry for mom and dad, they're gonna need a fee to get treatment."

Irwan took a breath "I've also thought about that, but I'm still disappointed as much as my mom who defends her."

" Wan has not been taken heart, when else can you be devoted to parents."

" Let's see, maybe I'll start work tomorrow."

Novia smiled thinly, her heart began to be relieved finally Irwan could melt her heart.

" Vi, change your clothes and eat don't forget to rest, look at your swollen legs "Irwan pointed at Novia's feet which were a little swollen.

Novia just nodded and went into the room to change her clothes and then had lunch.

After eating, Novia did not forget to pray dzuhur. On exiting the room, he could only smile at Irwan who was sound asleep in the chair then he went back into the room and climbed into the bed lying next to Camillah who was still asleep.

The next day, Early in the morning Irwan woke up like never before. Novia who had just woken up was astonished to see him.

" Tumben quickly woke up, what's up ?"

He then got out of bed and approached Irwan who was still engrossed with his daydream.

" Tumben woke up faster ?" touching her husband's shoulder.

Irwan gasped from his daydream. " As yesterday's plan, today I started work." looking up at Novia who was standing next to him.

" Come, let's pray dawn first. Have you long since left the dawn prayer ?" smiling, she looked at her husband.

At the back of the nod from Irwan, then Novia turned to walk in followed Irwan and they prepared - ready for dawn prayer.

After Irwan's morning prayers came out to the yard, his parents' house was still quiet the door of the house was still closed.

He then took the initiative to clean the car while waiting for his parents to get up and get out.

Before long, the sound of the door opened Irwan turned his head back, Bu Mini came out carrying a broomstick. Irwanpun approached "Mah, where's the car key ?"

" In the usual place you keep it " replied the Mini ma'am who stared in wonder at Irwan who stepped in.

Irwan came out with the car keys and heated the engine and walked back into his house.

" Vi, you're done taking a shower ? Camillah's up ?"

Novia who was getting ready turned around, "Camillah is ready, I'm about to finish "he replied.

" Yes I wait, let me take you and Camillah to school."

" Eh how's the story, right opposite the ?"

" You were the first one Vi delivered, and then Camillah."

" It's over, let's have breakfast first" Novia rushes out of the room towards Irwan's kitchen and Camilah follows him from behind.

After breakfast, they leave the house and step toward the car.

While the Mini mom who sat on the terrace began to show dislike and upset face towards Novia.

Seeing that Novia just looked down, while Irwan approached his mother and said goodbye.

" We left first, mah," but there was no answer from Mini.

Irwan left his mother and walked to the car.

" Come on Millah up ahead." Novia opened the door and lifted Camillah up and she got into the car. So also with Irwan he entered and closed the door and the car slowly drove towards where Novia worked.
