THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 19
“Honey!!! “ call Gilang as Tia passes through the living room while heading to her room.
“Ia, Mas.” Tia approached her husband who was sitting in the family room complete with his mother and sister there.
“Mas new can be heard from property agent. Your apartment already has a prospective buyer.” Obviously Gilang when Tia was sitting next to him.
“Betulkah? Quickly they get a buyer. Though only two weeks we registered my apartment to the property agent, Mas.”
“Not better, Tia. You will no longer be in trouble for our needs. Gilang can also breathe a sigh of relief because you can help him without you having to work outside the home.” Added mama Ratna.
“How much, Brother, Kak Tia apartment?”
“According to their information, sell according to Tia's request. 9XX million more. Almost to 1M.” obviously Gilang on his sister.
“Wahhhh . . Kak Tia's apartment apparently very expensive.”
“Sister Tia got that apartment working hard, Gaby. It takes a big sacrifice to get it.” Tia Clear.
“Good, means with yesterday's car sales, the total is almost 1.3 M. What if Mama helps you save your money?” ask mama Ratna.
“Emmmm . . . That, Tia . .” Tia hesitated at the advice of her mother-in-law. He thought about how to refuse the advice of his mother without having to offend him.
“Let's deposit on Mama only, but for ATM cards that have interest earned every month, you can hold. Mama just helps so you don't use it for non-no purposes. Mama just helps to save it, everything still belongs to you. How?” Mama Ratna looked excited as she expressed her opinion.
“I think Mama's suggestion is pretty good, dear.” Answer Gilang.
“But, Mas, it's the sale of my apartment and car, so it feels better if we keep it. Sorry yes, Ma.” Tia apologized to her mother.
“Do you still think Mama is not your own parents? So that makes you have to be more careful and not believe in Mama!” mama Ratna was offended that Tia had rejected her suggestion.
“It is not so, Ma. But . .”
“Let Mama alone help to save it, Tia. Mama's intentions are good, Mama will not act with the money. After all, the ATM card remains you who hold it.” Gilang tried to be a mediator and melt the atmosphere that began to stiffen.
Tia was silent for a while, weighing up what decision she should take. Everything that was sold was hard work in a few years. On the other hand, he wanted to respect his mother-in-law. So pomegranate that he felt.
“All right my dear son. Mama will help save that money.” Mama Ratna smiled very widely as Tia took the advice from her. “Call, tomorrow ask the property agent to transfer the money to your new account. Tomorrow morning Mama will go to the Bank to create a new account.
“Good, Ma.”
That night Tia was unable to fall asleep quickly. Somehow his heart did not calm down for a moment after the conversation he had in the family room. He turned his body right and left to try to sleep. But his eyes are always awake.
“Why are you, baby? Is something bothering you?” asked Gilang when he realized his wife was worried.
Tia woke up from her sleep and sat on the bed. “Somehow my heart is not calm, Mas. The problem is that it's not small money. I got all that from my years of hard work.” Tia poured out her worries to Gilang.
“Do you not believe in mama?” Gilang followed Tia and sat down next to his wife with a pretty serious face.
“It's not so, Mas. But . .”
“Is it so hard for you to give up that money for mama to hold? After all, the money will not be used with your mother. He just helps to keep it. It's all for us, Tia.”
“But try Mas imagine if it is in the position of Tia. Will Mas also easily release it?”
“The money was not requested by Mama, Tia! We just keep the money in my mom's account. That's all!” the voice of Gilang began to rise.
And when Tia found out that her husband was starting to burn with emotion, she ended the conversation. Tia did not want to have to fight with her husband. Tia also feels if she is guilty because after all she is offending from her husband's parents.
“I'm sorry, Mas. I'm just too scared. Because I've been in position to have nothing. I know what it's like to be bullied and ostracized just for having nothing.”
“You have me. You have Mama and Gaby. What else are you afraid of? Do you really think of me as your husband?”
“I'm sorry, Mas.” Tia hugged the body of her husband sitting next to her.
Gilang stroked Tia's hair gently. “Now it's night, sleep.” Gili laid Tia's body slowly and covered her.
Although her worries have not subsided, Tia decides to forget it for a moment and fall asleep in the arms of her loved ones.
