The Part 37

It has been two days Novia at her parents' house, but Irwan has not yet appeared this increasingly makes Ratih's mother convinced there is something hidden her daughter.

Morning at breakfast...

" Vi's been two days Camillah's not in school, you've permission to go to school ?"

" Hmm I haven't had time to mah."

" You better meet the teacher, pity that the lesson will be left behind" said Mrs Ratih.

While Pak Wahyu only listened to the conversation of the two women nearby while finishing his food.

" Let papa who drove Camillah to school " turns out Pak Wahyu ate while thinking about how the solution for his grandson to stay in school.

" Horee tata inter-Millah "sahut Camillah leaped for joy.

" Well, come on, Millah, take a shower and put your uniform on." Novia got up and walked into the room at Camillah.

When Novia entered the room, Ratih began to discuss about her son.

" Pah Novia's been here two days but her husband hasn't shown up yet, do you not suspect anything happened to Novia ?"

" Had mah not discussed again, maybe Novia misses the same old man mama's mind too far. It's not good that the daughter-in-law herself is suspected."

Fatih's mom's face turned sour "i'm her mother, my instincts won't go wrong "her voice quivered with her husband's answer. She stood up and walked away from her husband.

Shortly Novia came out of the room with Camillah who was well dressed.

" Tata, Millah is ready." Turn around showing her school uniform.

" Yes, I'll take the keys to the car first Millah wait outside ." Pak Wahyu went into the room to pick up the car keys and then followed Camillah, then got into the car and drove her granddaughter.

After her father's car leaves, Novia goes back inside the house.

" Mama wants to talk for a while" said Mrs Ratih when she saw Novia about to go into the room.

Novia's steps stopped and then approached her mother who was sitting on the sofa in the middle room. He was sitting right next to his mother.

" What is it ?"

" Let's not let mama be suspicious let alone ask about Irwan, argue I want to answer what "murm in the heart and start riled.

Bu Ratih stared deeply at Novia's nervous face.

" You why Vi ? mama hasn't spoken yet but you're nervous about it."

" I'm okay, I'm just a little dizzy, maybe anemic "he replied trying to cover up his nervousness.

" Mom would like to ask you please answer honestly ."

" Why didn't your husband come here, did you guys fight ?"

" We're fine mah, Irwan is now busy his car is broken and must be repaired." Novia tries to lie, she doesn't want to involve her parents in her household matters.

" I'm sorry I have to lie, I just don't want you guys to be sad "inner Novia to cry.

" Well if you are okay, mama is just upset you came alone to bring two children and goods without a husband, accompanied by a husband, someday you'll also know how mom feels as a mom ."

Novia just nodded, she perfectly understood how her mother was.

" Yes you have rest, mama wants to go back first" said Mrs Ratih and left Novia.

Bend day...

As they all gathered on the terrace, and Pak Wahyu prepared to drive Camillah to school, Irwan's car stopped in front of the house.

Pak Wahyu paused his intention to get into the car, and returned to walk towards the terrace.

Irwan got out of the car, stepping with a feeling of anxiety fearing that Novia would drive him away.

He stood in front of the terrace and said his greetings, and the Revelation sir immediately answered his greetings.

" In Wan, Camillah is in the car papa want to go to school" said Pak Wahyu.

" Yes, let me drive him the reward" he replied.

" Have you had breakfast ?" asked Ratih bu while glancing at Novia who was still silently sculpting.

Irwan just smiled in response.

" Here the baby's a sling, you take care of your husband's breakfast." Mrs Ratih seemed to understand the meaning of Irwan's smile and then asked for a baby in Novia's sling.

Finally Novia handed over the baby, then stepped in and Irwan followed behind.

Arriving at the dining room Novia was still silent, but still preparing food for her husband. Irwan was reluctant to start the conversation especially he realized his position was wrong.

Until the last mouthful, the two are silent Novia just thrusting drinking water and back sitting in her chair.

After eating Irwan got up and walked out, while Novia still cleaned the dirty dishes and washed them.

" *Dasarr man does not know himself, come here like no guilt sucks*" while continuing to babble indistinctly.

Then he came out, and it turned out that Irwan was still there.

Novia sat down beside her mother, casting a glance in all directions. Irwan knows Novia is still angry, she finally says goodbye.

Camillah who had been sitting in the car of Revelation sir asked to come down and approach his father.

" I left first, and they took Camillah to school" he said, rising to his feet.

" Let's Millah we go, salim used to be the same order and this is not to forget mama also "his order glanced towards Novia.

The father and son got into the car and slowly moved away.

" Novia, no matter how big a household problem never ignore the affairs of the husband's stomach, may you understand what mom meant."

Novia did not answer she chose silence because what her mother said was true, only her ego was still very domineering.

Almost a week Novia at her parents' house, Irwan only comes every morning to pick up her son and drive her to school. And Revelation sir is in charge of picking him up.

Until the night, Irwan finally came and intended to stay at his in-laws' house.

" Assalamualaikum" said Irwan as he entered.

"Waalaikumussalam, enter Wan "ansaid Pak Wahyu who happened to be sitting in the living room while Mr. Ratih had fallen asleep in the room.

" Yes, Novia and the kids where."

" It's in the room, come in."

Irwan nodded then stepped towards the room, until in front of the room door he hesitated a little but still ventured to knock on the door.

Tok.tok...

" Who "sounds from within.

Irwan was silent for a moment. " Open the door Vi "

Novia was aghast at her husband's voice, she took a breath and walked to the door and opened it.

Irwan came in and sat on the edge of the bed, his two children asleep.

" Can I stay here ?"

" Please "answer a short Novia.

" How many days is the house deserted, there is no sound of children welcoming me home."

Novia was silent...

" How is Adiba progressing ?" discussing the issue of children might be able to fish Novia he thought.

" Well, just a little fussy "Novia's answer was able to make Irwan smile.

" The ice pole finally melted "he murmured in his heart but did not want to show a smile on his lips.

Novia turned to walk to the corner of the room, picked up the carpet then placed it on the floor.

Irwan raised next to his eyebrows in wonder.

" You sleep on the floor, in a cramped bed if three" Novia said, handing her husband a pillow and blanket.

Irwan can only resign, rather than being driven better to sleep on the floor with a carpet he thought.

In the morning, when Ratih's mom came out she saw Irwan's car parked in the garage.

Just about to turn around, madam Ratih was surprised because Pak Wahyu who had suddenly stood next to her.

" There's Irwan's reward, what time did he come ?" pointing at Irwan's car.

" The night he came, papa has not slept still sitting in the living room" replied Mr. Revelation.

" Yes already, mama to the kitchen used to prepare breakfast" then passed leaving the pack of Revelation.
