The Part 55

Returning from the puskesmas and picking up Camillah at school, Irwan still left for work

half a day is good income in the deposit to his mother.

" I'm leaving, yes, even if it's only a few hours of work that's important to raise money."

" Hmm, be careful."

Novia follows her husband as he walks into the garage, Irwan climbs up and starts the engine of his car and slowly moves away from home.

" Let's go in." Novia pulled her son's hand they stepped inside the house.

Novia opened the door of her room, in Pak Wahyu lying on the bed waiting for Adiba who slept beside her.

Camillah was about to step in, but in Novia's case she held her son's hand and walked slowly.

" Sssst, don't be noisy later on Dedek Diba woke up slowly ya."

Camillah nodded in understanding, she put down the bag and took off her clothes while Novia took her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Not wanting to disturb his father's sleep, Novia chose to rest in the living room with Camillah before long both of them fell asleep.

A week has passed...

Pak Wahyu with the family preparing a welcoming event for the return of Mr. Ratih from Mecca, they will hold a thanksgiving event and invite neighbors and close families.

On Sunday morning Novia cleaned the house, she cleaned up the messy stuff in the house she sorted out the used items and clothes that were not in use and put them in the cardboard and then stored them in the warehouse.

Pak Wahyu came to Novia, he saw Novia who looked exhausted.

" Vi, take a break and your husband will pick up the boxes."

" Yes pah, some of it I've moved to the warehouse left this big cardboard." He answered while drying his sweat that poured.

" Riska's sister has contacted the cathering pah ?"

" Already, even papa has paid the payment."

" Oh, thank God, tomorrow we will prepare a place for the guests who come."

" Let your brothers take care of it, tomorrow morning we'll pick up mama at the airport."

" Tomorrow pah ?"

" Yes his schedule in the fox is faster."

" What about the invited guest pah ?"

" It's all done, mama told papa two days ago and your sister Riska took care of everything."

Novia turned her head when she heard the laughter of her two children running around, she got up and approached her son.

" Millah, be careful to fall for the pity that Dedek Diba keeps chasing behind you."

" Oh..." Camillah just laughed giggling while continuing to run.

Riska comes carrying a lot of groceries, various kinds of fruit and snacks that are also served later.

Novia takes a small grocery bag out of her brother's hand and takes it into the kitchen, Riska followed behind and they arranged the fruits into a basket and put the snacks into the jar that had been prepared.

Tomorrow morning...

Pak Wahyu's family group to the airport to pick up the arrival of Ratih's mother, Novia and her children choose to ride in her husband's car while others come with Wahyu.

The atmosphere at the airport is so crowded, many families of pilgrims who also come to pick up.

" Wan, carry Diba Camillah let me."

" Let's go to the front of the exit, it's too crowded."

Novia searched for her father's whereabouts, her head spinning until her eyes caught the appearance of her father standing in front of the exit.

" That's papa, we're there." He pointed towards his father.

" Be careful Vi, hold Camillah's hand firmly."

" Yes." Yeah."

They walked among the crowd kept urging in and finally arrived at the place of the Revelation sir.

" In the pah parking lot, Diba was fussy."

After a while of waiting, one by one pilgrims came out to wave their hands when they saw family members Pak Wahyu also returned his wife's wishes.

Mrs Ratih rushed out, she walked with quick steps towards her family.

Impatiently waiting, Novia immediately rushed to hug her mother while sobbing.

" Hiks.hiks Alhamdulillah mama arrived safely."

" Yes son, where are my grandchildren ?"

Novia turned to "They all came mah."

Ratih's appearance is very graceful with his white robe, Wahyu sir and his other children also approached and they embraced.

" Thank God we are finally reunited."

Pak Wahyu rubbed his wife's back, a gratitude and happiness that could not be described with words.

" We're home now, there's a lot of people waiting for you at home."

Mr. Wahyu embraced his wife and led her to the parking lot.

Two cars came together and stopped in front of the house of Wahyu sir, neighbors and relatives who had been waiting at home scattering welcome Ratih's mother who came down from the car

Weeping and happy people present, Ratih's mother entered the house Novia and her brothers were helped by the cathering waitress prepare the dish.

In the afternoon, the guests were already deserted and went home to each other, who lived only the children and grandchildren of Revelation sir.

" You guys stay here, mama still misses."

" Yes, tomorrow we go home." Reply Riska

" And also, there's a surprise for mama hehe." Continue again while chuckling and glancing at Novia.

" It's nothing sister Riska, start again."

Novia grumbled inwardly, she could already guess what surprise her brother meant.

" What surprise is it ?"

" Hehe mama will have a new grandchild."

" Huh what is it ?"

" Yes, Millah wants to have another sister, that's mah."

Madam Ratih looked at Novia.

" Yes Vi, how many months has it been ?

" Three months mah." Answer Novia shyly.

" Mama was only forty days there."

" Before my mother leaves." Irwan

" Oh, so when Novia was sick, she was already positively pregnant."

" Hehe's a mah, but Novia asked to be kept secret first."

Mrs Ratih was silent and smiled faintly, she would not comment on Novia's pregnancy let it be their business she thought.

Right now he just wants to enjoy a period of togetherness with his family after almost two instead of parting ways.

Time pass...

novia's pregnancy is growing the money promised in-laws have not been returned even though it has been more than six months, she also hesitated to ask her husband for fear Irwan offended.

" It has been almost seven months, but there has been no news from my mother even though I also need preparation for the birth of my son, Irwan also seems to not care if I should just ask ya ?"

Novia kept thinking while wondering if she kept waiting or asking her husband, at first the money would be used to build the house but because the circumstances of Novia changed her plan.

He glanced at the clock on the nightstand, it was ten but his eyes could not be closed yet while the husband and his two children were asleep.

All night Novia only thought about how, long thought she finally decided tomorrow morning she would talk about the problem to her husband.

" Alright, instead of being alone tomorrow I'll ask Irwan about the money."
