Slander Fruits of Karma
The Promise of 2

The Part 56

Novia opened her eyes, it felt like not long ago she was closed all night she stayed up late thinking about how to collect on her in-laws appointment.

While waiting for her husband to wake up, she chose to bathe and pray at dawn, then prepare breakfast this time she just made chicken porridge.

After finishing cooking the chicken porridge Novia returned to the room to wake her husband and children.

Irwan woke up and opened his eyes, he saw his wife sitting on the bed who also looked at him Novia came down to the floor and sat next to her husband who was still lying down.

" When, emm..eemmm."

" Why ?"

" When did you borrow the money you gave back ?"

Irwan rubbed his face, he was confused as to what to answer while his mother had not told him.

" Why silence ? It's not like you promised and asked for six months."

" Mommy hasn't told me Vi, I'll ask ya."

" Yes, I hope you can take responsibility for the money because you know we need the money again."

" Yes Vi is patient." That's all I can say.

" I'll take a shower first." Irwan got up and walked into the bath.

Novia sat down...

" I feel bad, it seems like my money's thin hope is given back."

Before long Irwan came out of the bathroom using a towel wrapped around his waist.

" Get me Vi's shirt."

Novia got up and opened the closet door and took clean clothes for her husband, then she woke up her son Camillah and told him to take a bath while Novia herself rushed to change her clothes.

" Let's have breakfast, you guys go to the dining room and you want to call tata and thisa in the room."

Novia knocked on her parents' bedroom door.

" Mah pah, breakfast first porridge will be cold we wait ya."

The door of the room is opened, Wahyu sir and his wife appear from within and follow Novia's steps. They had breakfast together in a little chat.

" Diba is still sleeping in the room, but I've prepared porridge, diapers and clean clothes mah."

" Yes later mama who takes care of it, how is your pregnancy now ?"

" Good mah, but now more often fatigue is different from Millah and Diba."

" Maybe the pregnancy distance is too close, then you must diligently check your pregnancy to the doctor."

" Well, if there's time I'll go to the doctor."

After breakfast Irwan paid to leave, he went to his parents' house and asked about the loan money.

After how many minutes Novia and Camillah also left for school, Novia was still riding a motorbike even though in a big pregnant condition actually Pak Wahyu did not allow but he still kekeh wanted to ride a motorcycle.

Arriving at school as usual Novia gets into her class and carries out tasks like the days before, She starts to reduce interaction with her co-workers as Novia feels their attitude is starting to change on her.

While elsewhere, Irwan comes and meets his mother at the house his intention will ask about Novia's money problem.

Irwan and his mother were already in the living room, they were sitting opposite Irwan started to get nervous and was anxious to ask or cancel his intention, he thought for a moment and decided to ask.

" Mah, ee...now has entered the seventh month of mama's appointment on Novia how ?"

" Mommy doesn't have any money."

" Geez, if Novia asks what am I going to answer ? The time you asked for was also quite long and had even crossed the line."

" And if you don't have one, then you tell your mom to turn over ?"

" It's not like that, ma'am himself who asked for six months and now it's over time."

Irwan rubbed rough his face, endless debates and solutions made him dizzy he took a breath and slowly exhaled him trying to calm down and dampen the emotions.

" Mah, it was me who offered mama but right we also have to appreciate the help of Novia mah because the money was papa can take treatment, and now Novia already needs her money for the preparation of the delivery later."

Irwan softened a little, facing his mother the hard way it felt like it would be a waste. Mr. Ahmad heard the quarrel of his son and wife outside but he could not do anything because his condition was weak.

" So the conclusion is how mah ?"

" Later mama think and also mama can not promise when can return the money.

Not getting a definite answer, Irwan finally resigned and left the residence of his parents with a feeling of annoyance.

Throughout the journey Irwan continued to grumble, fortunately there was no passenger who climbed until he freely vent his frustration alone.

" What will I say to Novia, if you know this I'm sorry I offered the mama the money, and Novia will accuse me of lying."

While Irwan came home, Novia greeted her husband with a smile while holding Irwan's hand inside.

" Where are the kids ?"

" In my mom's room, after the shower, my mom took them to play inside."

" I'm going to take a shower, Vi, please get my clothes ready."

Novia took a towel and thrust it at her husband, then she took clean clothes from inside the closet and placed them on the mattress.

While waiting for her husband to take a bath, Novia sat leaning on the headboard while reading her favorite novel.

Before long Irwan came out, then put on clothes and went up to the bed.

" Wan, have you talked to Mama ?"

The question that was actually very avoided Irwan finally glided from Novia's lips.

" Already, but I'm asking you not to be angry huh ?"

Novia sees her husband starting to worry, but she is also curious to hear from her husband.

" I mean ?"

" Yes, don't be angry with me."

" Wan, don't beat around the bush at his point."

" I've asked my mom, and the answer is they don't have money."

" Why can it be so Wan, instead of mama herself promising six months to return the money."

" But they really don't have any money, then what can I do ?"

" Abaghfirullah, why is this so you know we also need money ?"

" Yes, I'm sorry Vi let you down." Irwan bowed languidly.

" When can you give it back ?"

" I don't know yet, neither did Mama say when they would return your money."

" How is this ? You should be responsible for Wan, not even resigned."

Irwan is silent, he grabs Novia's hand and looks at her face trying to convince Novia through eye contact.

" I promise I'll try to ask mama to change your money, please trust me and give me more time."

Novia turned her face away, breaking eye contact with her husband the trust she gave in vain.

" Your parents are not trust Wan, even they themselves determine the time but they also deny it."

" Wan, I can't promise you anything, it's just that I'm disappointed in you guys."

Irwan feels guilty, but also can not do anything one side he wants to help his parents while the other side he also wants to show responsibility to his wife is really a dilemma.
