The Love of Habib
Chapters 10.3
"Aish! Aish! Aunt still wants to talk to you! Aish wait-"
Tud
The phone has been disconnected. Aunt's face turned dark. He stared angrily at the screen of his phone that was no longer connected to Aish. Upset, he put his phone on the table violently until it made a loud noise.
Aunt snatched away unhappy. His heart was very dissatisfied with Aish's refusal. As a parent, he felt Aish had underestimated his position and considered his words a joke.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly angry?" Uncle asked when he saw the grim face of the aunt who was as bright as the butt of the pot.
It was as if someone owed aunty money, but it had not been repaid.
"Aish don't want to, ma'am! This kid is so hard to manage wherever he is. I don't know what else to say for this kid." The aunt answered explaining her dissatisfaction to the husband.
Uncle shook his head too, not happy to hear it.
"Didn't you say you'd replace it?" Ask uncle sour.
Aunty smiled cynically, "I didn't just say, but I also emphasized that I would replace the money with additional interest. But he refused on the grounds of not wanting to lend it to anyone!" Aunty's complaints to Aish are endless.
According to him, Aish is still too small to hold such a large amount of money and according to him the money must be used properly first until finally Aish matures and can already hold money. But Aish doesn't want to cooperate.
He instead balked at what aunt had to offer on cliche grounds.
"Then what should we do now? The project can't be delayed anymore." Said uncle urging aunt.
"I don't know, my mom. I don't want our project to be delayed either." Aunt said worriedly.
They both thought hard but found no relevant way to solve their own problems. Borrowing money is the best solution and they have tried it in some brothers, some have succeeded and some have not succeeded.
The money was earned but still not enough to cover the shortcomings of the project.
"All right."
The two of them then came out of the room to look for Mom. It just so happened that Mom was sitting in the back garden together with Aira and Mommy. I don't know what they're talking about that makes Aira smile shyly next to grandma.
"Mother?" Call aunt to grandma.
Grandma looked back. Her daughter and daughter-in-law came here looking for her, grandma thought they wanted to talk about something.
"What's wrong?" Ask grandma weakly.
Lately the weather is a bit unfriendly for his health which is not young anymore.
Aunts and uncles do not avoid Aira and her mother when talking about their finances because they are both close family, there is no need to close.
"Mom should have heard if we were short on funds to finance our recent project. Our business plan will open at the end of the year, but with a record and should be enough. But until now we still lack funds for our efforts." Aunty said start.
Both Aira and Mommy are silent listening to the conversation without the intention to interrupt.
Grandma had also heard of this matter but she was helpless.
"This problem, I already know. The money you need is huge, but I can't help you." Grandma said weakly.
He is old and spends much of his old days with his children, grandchildren. Every money that goes into his pocket is an allocation from his children. Even though all the money was saved, the amount would not be able to cover the gap of funds that aunt needed.
"Mom, I know this too. My point in talking to Mom about this is for Mom to help us talk to Aish. She's holding Mama's savings"
"No!" Cut grandfather mad.
