Slander Fruits of Karma
Mother's Instincts

The Part 36

Novia's stuff is packed, don't forget she cleaned the house because she didn't want to leave the house in a mess.

Irwan was still in the same position sleeping on the floor barefoot, Novia and did not want to disturb him.

" Do as you please, I don't want to waste time dealing with all your madness" he muttered as he passed by Irwan who was still unconscious from his drunkenness.

" Why are you sleeping here ?" ask Camillah who keeps following her mother.

" In a sultry hot room, that's why papa sleeps here."

Novia sat on the chair breathing her breathless, "get tired also some messy house."

Suddenly it flashed in his mind whether he should take a leave of absence to his in-laws.

" Huuft is troublesome, but if I go without saying goodbye, it must be a strange accusation again" his mind continued to fight until finally he decided to say goodbye before leaving.

" Millah, you wait here for a while mama wants to say goodbye to grandma."

" Yes, mama don't be long before the baby wakes up "reply.

Novia was already on the porch of her house, her legs felt heavy to step on. She glanced at her in-laws' house, where Mini and her family were gathered on the terrace.

" Eh rame, O Allah, strengthen your servant Bismillah "he slowly walked towards the porch of his father-in-law's house.

All eyes were immediately fixed on Novia, especially Mini Bu look so sharp his face looks sour when staring at Novia.

" That look is so scary, God." Novia was goosebumps, but kept moving forward.

When she got to the front of the house, Novia approached them and sat down.

" Mah I say goodbye, want to go home first to my parents' house long ago I did not go there "no talk Novia convey her point because talk at length will be useless as she thought.

" Hmmm "short answer mini bu that is difficult to understand the point.

Not wanting to wait long, Novia got up and stood up "well, I'm sorry "then she turned around and stepped out of her in-laws' house.

Arriving at his house Novia went into the room, picked up one by one her bag and brought out.

Then she put on Camillah's backpack containing school supplies.

" Millah brought this bag, yes, it contained books, pencils and school tools have Millah."

" Why are there so many bags for mama."

" That's just three kids, it's mama's clothes, baby's clothes, and yours."

Novia held the baby, and her one hand held Camillah.

" Let's go ahead wait for public transport to pass ."

Just as Novia stepped up, Irwan immediately got up and sat down trying to gather his consciousness.

" Eh where are you guys going, the bag is a lot you want to stop by Vi ?"

Novia's steps came to a halt, turning to her husband who looked confused.

" I want to go home to my parents, just want to calm down for some time my mind is too tired, if you love your children you can catch up."

" We're good, take good care of yourself here" and Novia walks out to the gate holding the baby and holding her hand in Camillah's arms.

Shortly after a public transport approached, Novia held the car and asked her driver to help her pick up Novia's belongings.

Irwan who was still glued to his mind still interpreted Novia's sentence immediately realized when the driver lifted Novia's bag.

He jumped up and ran towards the car that was going to ride Novia.

" Vi, stop !! Don't go up first let me drive you "try to prevent Novia.

While Mini and her family sitting on the terrace just look at Novia and her children without the intention to drive her.

Seeing the reaction of her in-laws, Novia grew more confident in her decision. After they boarded the car, it slowly moved leaving Irwan who stood staring blankly at the car.

Fifteen minutes later Novia arrived at her house, and she asked the driver to drop off his belongings and not forget he paid the rent.

The house looks lonely, Novia walks while holding Camillah.

" Asalamualaikum "...

There's no answer, "Let's go in."

He went inside through all the rooms looking for his parents.

" Oh it turns out here" said Novia to surprise both her parents.

Mr. Ratih and Wahyu immediately turned around to downing Novia's voice, because their position was turned back to Novia.

And Ratih's mom reflexes stood up, " uh my grandchildren " then grabbed Adiba's baby in Novia's sling. Whereas Pak Wahyu pulled Camillah into his arms.

" Iih mama, the child himself in the cuek" said Novia with a pouty face.

Pak Wahyu chuckled at Novia "You are old Vi, time must be carried also "cock bu Ratih.

" Let's go inside, here's the hot "Pak Wahyu standing and holding Camillah in and then on after Novia and her mother.

They reached the living room and sat on the carpet. Ratih's eyes looked for something and then looked at Novia.

" Where is your husband ?" a question that Novia did not expect.

" The car broke down, so we're here on public transport "

" A new baby this week you're taking Vi ?" The face of Mrs Ratih turned upset.

" It's mah, the important thing is they arrived safely "Pak Wahyu mediate so that his wife does not babble any longer.

Novia got up and walked outside to pick up her bag that was still outside, then she took it into her room and rejoined her parents in the living room.

They talked about many things, asked each other the news.

" Mah, this Diba is a fussy child different from Millah."

" Yes every child is different we as parents must be patient to deal with it "a little encouragement from Ratih ma'am able to make Novia's heart calm in times of confusion.

" The plan is in the near future I want to hold an aqiqah event for Diba."

" Do you have any preparation ? Does your husband know your plan ?" consecutive questions from Mr. Revelation.

" It's a reward, everything is ready to just determine the right day "reply Novia.

" Thank God, I hope everything goes well as planned." Mr. Revelation smiled faintly. His son is now beginning to mature in taking a stand.

" Yes, you rest in the room let Camillah play with mom and dad, we still miss." Mrs Ratih told Novia to rest.

" Good at home parents, always in love and in spoiled" inner Novia said.

After Novia goes into room "Pah, are you sure Novia is okay ? Looks like he's got a problem." A mother's instincts begin to work.

" We just wait, mah, as long as Novia is silent not to tell us yes we must respect her decision."

" Yes, but mom knows very well what her husband's family is like a reward "

" Don't keep thinking negatively, maybe Novia does have plans to make her show here."

" Hmm hopefully what you think is wrong " replied Ratih who was disappointed with her husband's response.

As a mother, it is certainly more sensitive when something happens to her children.
