The Part 66

" You guys are ready, want to go straight to your mom's house or stop by the school first ?" ask Irwan.

" Go straight to my mom's house" said Novia.

" Put all the kids." Novia exited the room while holding the Emir who would be entrusted to her mother.

Irwan followed his wife out, arriving at the terrace Novia say goodbye to both parents.

" This Mah Emir, we leave first yes the milk and porridge I have prepared," said Novia.

" Come Millah we go, salim equally tata and ina." Camillah grabbed the hands of her grandparents as well as Novia.

The three of them walked together to the garage, Irwan climbed into the car while Novia and her son rode on a motorcycle.

Before starting the engine of his car, Irwan poked his head out the window and asked Novia, "the money has been brought ?" Novia nodded.

" You go first, I'll follow you from behind" said Novia and turned on the engine.

Irwan's car slowly moves and Novia's motorbike follows behind, Novia stops in front of the school she steps into the teacher's room and requests permission from Mr. Rizal.

" Assalamualaikum."

" Wa'alaikumussalam, uh bu Novia please come in."

" Yes thank you sir, I asked for permission for a moment there is an important business, one hour I return here," said Novia.

" Oh yes please ma'am."

Novia turned around and stepped out of the teacher's room, she rushed on her motorbike then caught up with her husband.

Irwan had already arrived at his mother's house, they talked on the porch while waiting for Novia to come. Shortly thereafter Novia appeared entering the page.

Novia parked her bike and then she got off and walked towards the terrace.

" Assalamualaikum, I'm sorry I was late because I stopped by at school asking for permission" he said.

" Sit Vi, I just got here, too" said Irwan.

Novia was sitting on an empty chair right beside Irwan, the three of them had not been making a sound to each other for a while.

" Mah, as we talked the other day I asked Mama to wait because I talked to my wife about it first and we agreed to buy her car." Irwan started the conversation.

" What is the selling price of mama ?" ask Irwan

" Rp.25,000,000.00-, as required by the mother," said bu Mini flat.

" Can't it be less ?" irwan

Mini's mom shook her head, she stayed in her stance. Novia was silent, from earlier she only heard the conversation between mother and child in front of her.

" It's strange, they are like other people who do not know each other who are doing transactions" Novia murmured in her heart

" How mah, what price can be less ? hail Irwan again.

" Mama's decision is final can't be bargained anymore."

Irwan sighed, "well, we will pay according to mama's offer and after payment I have her papers handed over as well."

" **- but the letter is still Wan's pawn," said Ms. Mini stammering as she squeezed her finger.

Irwan again sighed harshly, "in that case, I'll only give up half the money later after the letter is in the hands of our new mama to pay off."

Bu Mini turned his face, he looked riled up his calculations were wrong and not according to plan.

Irwan squinted, his mother like hiding something from him.

Ms. Mini looked at Irwan, she gathered the strength to be honest since the death of her husband much of which she kept secret from Irwan.

" Wan, mama's sorry that the car will actually be pulled by the rising party because mama's been waiting for a long time."

" Why can mah ? not all this time my deposit every day entered and also mama has sold several plots of land then where is the money mah ?!"

" We're handing over the money now, and mama's paying off the arrears there. I don't want the car to have any connection with the other side just as we bought a cat in a mah sack."

Ms. Mini was speechless, the crystal feather in her eyes finally spilled she was disappointed in herself could not keep her husband's relics.

Seeing his mother's fragile condition, Irwan moved closer to his mother and embraced and hugged his mother's body. The cry of Mini's mom broke, she didn't expect her life story would be like this.

The body of Mini's mother continues to tremble in Irwan's arms, "mah don't be sad, everything has happened no need to regret."

" I've been quiet all this time, when my mom hid everything from me."

" Wan, let mama rest first" said Novia.

Irwan turned to his wife, "where's the money Vi, love to mama half."

Novia took the money from her bag, then counted and kept the other half in the bag.

" I'm sorry mah, not that I don't believe in my mom, but I also have to keep Novia's feeling because honestly the money is entirely Novia's not mine" Irwan said while stroking his mother's shoulder.

Bu Mini just nodded, she resigned herself and also endured the extreme embarrassment in remembering her attitude towards Novia all along.

Novia moved closer to her husband and in-laws, holding onto the money she was about to hand over.

" Mah, this money may be useful and can cover the needs of mama and sisters."

Novia handed the money to her mother-in-law, with the trembling hands of Mini's mom reaching for the money in the hands of her daughter-in-law then she turned to her son and Irwan replied with a nod.

After that Novia took out a receipt sheet from the bag, then she thrust it at her mother-in-law.

" Please sign this receipt as proof and our handrails" Novia said.

Bu Mini grabbed the receipt and signed it, after which he recalculated the money that Novia handed over.

" Thank you, my mom is counting the money and I will try to pay off the arrears" he said with a smile on his lips.

" Okay, we're waiting for news from mama if the problem is over, we're saying goodbye because Novia also has to go back to school,"

The two then walked towards their vehicles, then they left the residence of the Mini-bu.

Arriving at school, Novia immediately walked to her class but before entering she passed Diana.

" Where does Vi you now often come late ?" greet Diana

" There is important business, and I have also asked permission earlier, Mr. Rizal," he replied.

" But I didn't see you." Diana continued to scout Novia with questions.

" I only asked the principal's permission, not the teacher's," Novia replied, turning her back to Diana and entering her class.

" Heh basarr, always busy dealing with other people's business" grumbled Novia.

For some reason, lately Diana has always shown her hatred for Novia even in a blatant way.

The bell rang home, Novia glanced at the watch in her hand then put the books on the shelf after which she came out and waited for Camillah to leave her class.

Camillah was near her mother and brought her home, "let's go home, Millah is hungry and sleepy."

" Let's go home, but mommy said goodbye to the headmaster" Novia said.

After saying goodbye, Novia and her son left the school area and returned home.
