Slander Fruits of Karma
Novia Decree

The Part 84

"How's Vi? we want to hear your decision" asked Mr. Wahyu

Novia lowered her head as she said, "sorry, I can't decide yet give me some time to think."

Irwan bowed lethargic to hear his wife's answer, only able to resign and could not do anything.

"Novia has given an answer, we should give her time to think" said Mr. Wahyu.

"Think carefully about your decision, son, so as not to regret it later. We'll wait for whatever you answer later." Irwan's grandfather gives Novia a message.

"Well, we say next week we'll come back to hear what Novia's decision is." Grandpa came home

"Ah yes, thank you for coming to visit" replied Mr. Revelation.

Irwan and his grandfather rise up and greet Pak Wahyu and his wife, while Irwan approaches his wife and child.

"Vi, I go first, please forgive me," said Irwan, caressing the heads of his three children.

Novia turned her face away, avoiding Irwan's gaze.

After Irwan and his grandfather leave, Novia is about to move on but her father holds her back.

"Novia, don't go, let's talk for a while" said Mr. Revelation as he walked to the chair and sat down.

Novia follows her father and sits in a chair opposite her parents, while Novia's children return inside and play in the living room.

"Vi, papa hope you can make a good decision, do not decide something in an emotional state later the result will be bad."

"Think of the fate of your three children, we will not interfere just to direct," continued Mr. Revelation.

"Yes, pah, pardon Novia for making you sad" Novia said

"That's how life is, sometimes what happens doesn't match what we want because we have to be wise in thinking and behaving."

Novia was stunned to hear her father's advice, the messages her father spoke piercing through to the heart.

Mrs Ratih only listened to the talk of her son and husband, for her husband's words already represent his heart.

"Alright, Novia wants to enter first pah," said Novia.

"Yes" said Pak Wahyu

Novia went into her room, then she took a bathrobe and went inside the bathroom.

Novia flushed her head all over her body with water, the burden of the mind making her body feel hot until she lingered in the bathroom playing with water while calming her mind.

Almost an hour Novia in the bathroom, finally she came out and took clean clothes from the closet and put them on.

The night ....

When all the residents of the house were asleep, Novia was still awake her eyes could not be closed. Irwan's arrival again disturbed his mind.

"What should I do, O God, this matter is very complicated" he murmured

Novia got up and got out of bed, walked into the bathroom and wudhu.

Complaining and asking for guidance to the Creator is the best thing to do, Novia is unlikely to convey all her grievances to her parents.

Novia prayed tahajjud and prayed fervently, begging to be given a way out of her troubles.

"O Allah, forgive my sins all this time I do not know what to do, instruct You that I will not make wrong decisions."

Novia's tears flowed profusely in her prayer, unable to hold back her sobs to a hiccup.

After being satisfied to convey all her heart, Novia got up and took off her face and tidied up her alphabet again.

Novia got on the bed and lay down next to her son, staring at the ceiling of the room until she fell asleep.

Until the seventh night, again Novia could not sleep even she could not decide the answer.

deflected day ....

Novia was still confined in her room, her brain could not think clearly to make a decision.

Tok .. tok .

"Vi, outside is Irwan and his grandfather."

Novia was stunned and realized that today Irwan promised to come again.

"Yes, mah briefly" said Novia from the inside.

"Oh, how's this? I don't have an answer yet" Novia muttered as she walked around inside the room.

Before long the door was knocked again, Mrs Ratih called Novia again.

"Let's get out, they've been waiting for Vi a long time," urged Bu Ratih behind the door.

Novia clucked in annoyance, the urge to meet Irwan made her mind even more deadlocked. Novia was forced to leave the room and walk to the living room.

Arriving in the living room Novia stood beside her father's chair, Irwan raised his head and glanced at his wife.

"Sit Vi" said Pak Wahyu while pointing at the empty seat next to him.

Novia also sat according to her father's orders, while sitting opposite Irwan, Novia did not have an answer to her decision.

Mr. Revelation started the conversation.

"Alright, Novia, your husband and grandfather-in-law have come back to listen to your answer."

Instantly Novia was nervous, her face turned pias and looked confused.

"Relax Vi, no one is forcing you all the decisions are in your hands" Ms Ratih said, calming her daughter.

Novia just nodded

"Now speak, we will hear" said Mr. Revelation.

Novia took a breath while closing her eyes, suddenly the shadow of her three children appeared and danced in her eyes.

Those present at that moment also tensed up, moreover Irwan seemed to have difficulty breathing air to breathe.

"Once Irwan made a mistake, I always gave him an apology and a chance." Novia paused for a moment to gather strength.

"Wire, it seems thin that I hope to return," Irwan said

"What guarantee can I hold to be able to trust him again?" continued Novia while pointing at Irwan.

"You're asking for Vi's bail?" sambar Irwan

Novia nodded in response.

"Tell me what you want as collateral," Grandpa Irwan chimed in

"Make a letter of agreement stamped, if Irwan is still repeating his actions then he must go and stay away from my life" said Novia.

"Alright, I am willing to make the agreement in the witness of mama, papa, and old papa," Irwan replied

Novia stepped into her room, picked up a pen, paper, and a piece of seal from her wallet and returned to the living room.

Arriving in the living room, Novia handed the paper and pen to Irwan and asked him to make a letter of agreement.

Without hesitation and eagerly Irwan accepted the paper, with a faint smile he began to write on the paper.

"Yess, you asked me to make a covenant, which means you're taking me back!" Irwan cheered in his heart.

The letter of agreement has been written, not to forget Novia's parents also marked as witnesses from Novia and Si Grandpa from Irwan's side.

Novia asked Irwan to re-read the contents of the letter, there are several important points that must be considered including the risk if Irwan violates the agreement.

"I will keep this letter as proof and my handle, if later Irwan breaks the promise then the sanctions in this letter will apply to him" said Novia firmly.

"That means you're taking me back now?" ask Irwan.

"Yes, but conditional on the terms of the agreement. Then be careful to behave," replied Novia coldly and firmly.

The Grandfather whispered into his grandson's ear, "Wan, this is the last old man to help you."

Irwan nodded in understanding, a feeling of relief enveloping his heart upon hearing Novia's decision.
