Slander Fruits of Karma
Broken Wing 1

Part 85's

Novia has conveyed her decision, Pak Wahyu, Bu Ratih, and Irwan's grandfather who was a witness and signed in the letter of the agreement made.

"Wan, old papa wishes and begs you, change your behavior this is the last chance your wife gives you so take good care of her trust" said the Grandpa.

"Well, Mr. Revelation and Mr. Ratih thank you for welcoming us so well, I'm sorry to go home." The grandfather said goodbye to the family of Mr. Wahyu.

They shake hands with each other, then Irwan takes his grandfather back to his house.

On the way home Irwan unceasingly gets advice and warnings from his grandfather.

"Wan, remember well the old papa message, do not embarrass the family" said Irwan's grandfather

Irwan grunting ....

"Yes, old papa don't worry I will remember" Irwan replied

"This time your wife doesn't mess with Wan, don't let you regret it later." Threat words came out of Grandpa's mouth.

Irwan gasps, grandfather's remarks make him aware of Novia's threat in the agreement letter.

"If until you repeat what you did, old papa won't want to help you this one last time" he continued.

"Yes" said Irwan briefly.

They had already arrived at Irwan's grandfather's house, after his grandfather went down Irwan turned his car back to his father-in-law's house.

Arriving at home, Irwan parked his car in the garage then he got down and stepped into the house.

While walking towards the room, Irwan passed his daughter Camillah who was holding his sister Emir. Irwan stopped and approached his two children.

Camillah bowed while the Emir looked in wonder at Irwan like he had just met a stranger.

Irwan slightly lowered his body to level with Camillah, slowly pulling the body of the little girl before him even closer. Camillah did not resist and ended up squandering into her father's arms.

"I'm sorry papa" whispered Irwan softly in Camillah's ear

Camillah nodded, crystal feathers dripping on her cheeks made Irwan even more tenuous and tightened his arms at Camillah then grabbed the Emir and hugged him.

"Where are Mama and Diba?" asked Irwan to break his embrace.

Camillah pointed into Novia's room.

"Oh, mama in the room let's go inside," Irwan asked as he held his two children's hands.

Doubtful Irwan stepped in, awkwardness as well as fear of being fouled by Novia

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Novia turned to the source of the voice. But after finding out who came Novia immediately turned her face away.

Irwan ventured to greet his wife, "How are you doing Vi?"

"I don't need any pleasantries from a liar," Novia replied without turning her head.

Irwan no longer continues the conversation, it seems Novia has not been able to accept his presence.

Irwan turned around and chose to talk to his son, fortunately Camillah was able to communicate well.

One month later ....

Novia and Irwan's relationship begins to improve, however, Novia remains vigilant and does not fully trust Irwan.

Irwan certainly very understanding because it is not easy to restore the trust that has been betrayed.

Sunday morning, Novia cleaned the house with Irwan, both cleaning the yard to the back garden.

After that Irwan collected the dirty clothes and brought them back to wash. The couple has divided their respective duties.

Not to forget Mr. Wahyu who was also busy drying his mattress and carpet in the family room. Then Pak Wahyu thrust some sheets of dirty clothes on Irwan.

Irwan was surprised, only this time his father-in-law behaved like this even felt strange to Irwan.

In a hurry Irwan came to his wife in the kitchen, telling her the peculiarity of his father-in-law's attitude.

"Vi, tumben papa asked me to wash his clothes," said Irwan

Novia turned her head and placed the pot she was holding onto the table.

"Papa asked me to wash his clothes, instead of all this time papa never wanted his clothes washed by anyone else except you Vi?"

Novia rolled her eyeballs, it was true that her father had never wanted to wash her clothes except Novia.

"Ah, maybe because papa saw me busy today," replied Novia.

"But I think it's strange" chirped Irwan and passed away leaving Novia to resume her work.

In the evening, while Novia was in the kitchen preparing dinner, Pak Wahyu came over and greeted Novia in a soft voice

"What's the cook tonight, son?"

Novia turned ...,

"Egg omelette pah and vegetable lodeh" he replied

"Tomorrow you buy fish yes, papa again wants to eat fried fish grilled ashtray," said Pak Wahyu then turned and stepped out.

In recent days, Pak Wahyu has always offered to take Novia to work and has been happy to accept her.

The fifth day, precisely Friday morning Novia asked her father to drop off but was rejected. Even Pak Wahyu did not want to see Novia's face and instead asked Irwan to deliver.

On the way to Novia's workplace, the two talk about Novia's father.

"Vi, I feel like there's something weird about papa," Irwan said

"You mean?" ask Novia.

"It's hard for Vi to explain, it's just that I feel something" Irwan replied

Novia was silent, unable to catch the meaning of her husband's words. While Irwan himself is also difficult to explain what he feels.

Novia had arrived at school and got off the bike, Irwan then returned home and prepared to leave for work as usual.

Today Novia came home early, changed her clothes and cooked for lunch.

The lunch meal was ready on the table, Novia came out and called her parents to eat.

When Pak Wahyu arrived and stood by the dining table and looked at the menu on the table, he was suddenly angry.

"Did you say you want to eat grilled fish taboo, why even in suguhi this menu?"

Novia was surprised, only this time she saw her father angry even when he made a fatal mistake though. Novia creeps in horror and wonders what happened to her father.

"Well, I haven't been to the market yet. May Irwan come home later to bring fresh fish to eat this first reward," Novia persuaded.

After lunch, Pak Wahyu prepared to go to the mosque for Friday prayers in all white clothes.

In the afternoon Irwan came home and brought fresh fish, Novia welcomed her husband because finally his father's wish was fulfilled.

After thrusting the fish, Irwan got back into his car and told Novia that he was going to his mother's house.

Novia went into her mother's room to see her father, but the person she was looking for was not in the room.

"Where's he going?" ask Novia

"Your father came out, after Friday prayers went to the garden he said he wanted to plant chilies," replied Mrs Ratih.

"Yes, already. I went to the back and wanted to cook the order papa grilled fish taboo," said Novia and passed away.

Almost two hours Novia struggled with the menu, before burning Novia fish took time to bathe.

Novia came out of the bathroom wearing only a bathrobe, rushed to the kitchen and continued her cooking activities.

Before long Mr. Revelation came, rushed to take a bath because the time was approaching Maghrib.

While burning the fish, a strong wind blew around the house of Pak Wahyu.

"Well, why is the wind just around this house? novia gumam

Because of fear, Novia turned off the embers in the furnace and lifted the fish and moved it to the plate.

When Novia put a plate containing fish into the closet, Pak Wahyu passed through Novia without looking at it and just focused on ablution and then entered back into his room.
