Slander Fruits of Karma
My dear wife, my poor wife

The Part 31

That afternoon, after completing the payment transaction Novia gave their home address and asked to deliver the motor directly to the address.

" Before we go home, we'll stop by the baby's clothing store."

" It's not that Camillah's still around, it can be worn by her sister." as she walked towards the parking lot.

" Yes, but Camillah's only got a few pairs, and it's obsolete plan I want to buy a new two or three pairs again."

Irwan just nodded, they reached the parking lot they got into the car and then Irwan started the car engine and slowly drove away from the dealer.

On travel...

" We ate first, it's almost twelve." Irwan drove his car to a restaurant.

" Athaghfirullah Millah hasn't been picked up." Novia riled to remember her son who had not been picked up, she looked at her husband asking for answers.

" There's a mama at home, surely her teacher's taking her home." With a casual answer Irwan while stopping the car and turning off the engine.

" Come down" then open the door and come down and wait for his wife who also came down.

They went in, looking for an empty seat because the visitors were quite crowded at lunch break.

" It was there empty chair "Novia pointed towards the table in the corner of the room. They also stepped into the place designated Novia and sat facing each other.

Before long a waiter came along carrying a menu list and handed it over. Novia picked up the list, read it for a moment then looked at her husband.

" What do you want to eat ? Here the menu is available grilled chicken rica-rica, rice satay, and mixed rice." while thrusting the menu list on her husband.

Irwan then read it, "I want to order rice satay." put the menu back on the waiter.

" Baked chicken one, rice satay one, and iced tea two yes mba." said Novia re-citing their order.

" Good ma'am in wait, "answered the waiter and left.

After eating, they continued their journey and did not forget to order a menu that was brought home for Camillah.

Arriving at the baby clothing store, Novia chose - choose several pairs of clothes and sarongs and other baby trinkets such as socks, drinking bottles, hats, and knit jackets.

" This little one is cute." smiling anxiously at the thought of the baby wearing the jacket.

" If you like to take it, it would be funny if you use your child." Chirps Irwan who also smiled.

Satisfied to go around and choose a variety of needs they finally decided to go home considering that there was an appointment with the dealer.

" Our Vi's home, we've promised the dealer."

" Yes, you wait in my car to the cashier." Novia stepped up while carrying a bag of tentengan towards the cashier, while Irwan walked out towards the car park.

A moment later Novia came out of the store and followed her husband who was waiting in the car.

Half an hour later they arrived home, Irwan parked his car and went down, while Novia also came down and immediately stepped into his house.

" Millah where is it ? Do not-don't because long waiting for him to come with his teacher "murm because he did not see his son when he arrived home.

Irwan who is still busy fiddling with his car is not aware of Novia who has begun to fidget.

Novia hurried over to her husband, "Wan Camillah where, is it okay to come home with her teacher ?"

Irwan turned to the origin of the voice "Try you ask mama maybe there "a glance turned to her parents' house.

Novia also ventured with a giant step she entered the house of her in-laws.

" Assalamualaikum, is Camillah here mah ?" asked Novia who saw her in-laws walking over.

" There is more sleep, already know the child is still Kindergarten instead of quickly going home even wandering !!" cynical answer.

Novia just silently did not want to answer, she then entered to ascertain the state of her son after seeing Camillah who was sleeping fast she turned to step past her mother-in-law who looked at her sharply.

Novia came out of her in-laws' house and walked down, Irwan's gaze catching his wife's behavior.

Hearing her husband's question, Novia's steps stopped "yes there, again sleeping "reply back.

When Novia was about to step up again, there was the sound of a car horn coming from the road.

The couple spontaneously turned their heads, looking as if the car carrying their motorcycle was already in front of the gate.

The driver got down and asked the correct delivery address he had in his hand.

" Is this really the home address of Novia Andini's mother and Mr. Irwansyah ?" while holding a piece of paper in his hand.

Irwan rushed over and picked up the paper. " Yes right, I am Irwansyah "he replied.

Then he gave the driver a cue to bring the car into the yard.

" Who ordered the bike, why did Irwan tell you to go to page ?" Mini Bu who saw the car transporting the motor into his yard came out and stood on the terrace.

Out of curiosity, he approached the car, while Irwan and a deliveryman lowered the motor.

" This is whose bike is deck ?" without further ado he asked the introduction.

" The owner of the motorbike in the name of Novia's mother." Legally.

" Oh so here's the answer, this morning went without saying goodbye "he muttered with an annoyed face and stared cynically at Novia.

Novia who received a sharp glare from her in-laws grimaced slightly.

" Why his face is like a tangled thread of foam "he murmured in the heart.

" Mrs Novia, please sign this receipt first."

Novia approached and signed the letter. " Alright, the goods have been received we say back home mom "partnya.

" Thank you." said Novia.

Just as the delivery car drove away, suddenly the Mini bu turned towards Novia. He walked a few steps closer.

" You yaa ! Already know her husband's small income, instead of saving instead of telling her husband to owe "while pointing to Novia's face.

Novia's reflex took a step back, she clenched a furious hand. But he tried to control himself to take a deep breath and exhale slowly, his emotions evaporating with his breath.

" It was bought from my savings, my salary, which is how many years I've partly saved." He answered, turning around, leaving his father-in-law.

While Irwan was confused and silently looked at the scene in front of him.

" Why with mama, always cynical if in front of Novia "murm.

" What's wrong, mom seems to dislike us buying this bike "asked Irwan then approached his mother.

" Your wife is too extravagant and acts rich, even though she knows your income is mediocre."

" Mah, that bike Novia bought from her own income instead of money from me. And also he needs mah to be used for work " replied Irwan at length.

" Aah you, always defending that woman mama hates her even more !! Ms. Mini stomped her feet then left Irwan.

" Mama this is weird huh, once Novia in martial now turned into hate. I don't know what the sparking is."

Irwan finally entered his house, where he found Novia crying. Slowly he approached hearing the sound of Novia's footsteps turning around.

" Wan, why am I always wrong in your mama's eyes ? Though I never once demanded anything from you let alone from your parents "the cry Novia broke when revealing all her heart.

Irwan was speechless, he himself was also confused by his mother's attitude but could not do anything standing by scratching his nape that did not itch.

Before long Camillah's voice could be heard calling out, Novia hurriedly wiped away her tears. Irwan went out to meet his son who was already standing on the terrace. " Millah is awake ? Papa and Mama had bought food for Millah ".

Instead of answering, Camillah instead asked "who's the reward bike" while pointing at the motor parked in front of their house.

" That's my mama's bike, let's go in first mama's been waiting from earlier "and then lead Camillah inside.
