The Tainted Bride
Chapters 15. Forced

Olivia sighs. "How do I get the money right away?" The woman was pacing around in the room. Olivia really doesn't know where to get the money.

"If waiting until this ring is sold means having to wait until tomorrow dong while grandma has to be taken to the hospital right now." Olivia nibbled her temples as hard as possible in such a way that all ideas could pop into her head. Even though the truth is impossible.

"Why you?" asked Reza who happened to pass in front of him. The man wanted to take a change of clothes in the room.

"Mas I'm just asking for help this time."

Reza.

"I really need money for grandma's treatment. His illness recurred and if it was too late his life could be floated." Olivia looked at Reza with her glare.

"You think it's my business!"

"Come on, this time you use your instinctive heart. I just want a minute, I'll give it back tomorrow" Olivia promised. She had to beg her husband again.

"Return? Where will you get money from?" Reza does not believe Olivia can return the money later if she is given a loan.

She doesn't believe that Olivia will return the money because she thinks her ailing grandmother is just Olivia's wits. She thinks Olivia just wants to get Reza's money. Like Marisa who likes to take advantage of others and opportunities that exist.

"I have a ring, I'll sell it."

"Curtain, your wedding ring will you sell it?" Reza shook his head.

"Not, but the ring that the late father gave me."

"You're not lying, are you?"

"No, let me take it first if Mas Reza doesn't believe me."

Olivia took the ring she was holding and showed it to Reza.

"Let's see, don't-don't fake rings anymore." Reza pulled the ring in Olivia's hand and examined it.

"Okay, how much do you need?"

"600 grand." Olivia deliberately overstated for the transfer fee at once to buy groceries for tomorrow morning's meal. If not like that maybe he will be very hungry because at this time he has not eaten.

"All right, I'll take it first." Reza went to the guest room and took his wallet. After that, he returned to Olivia's room and gave her the amount of money that Olivia asked for.

"Review back on the money!"

"Yes Mas. Then I'll leave." Olivia also took a jacket and walked to a stall that was not too far away from the house she was in now.

"Thankfully it is still open," muttered Olivia when she saw the grocery store equipped with agent Brilink was still open even though the clock had shown at 9 pm.

"We are open 24 hours Ma'am" said the shopkeeper with a friendly smile towards Olivia.

"Thank God then." Actually Olivia knew the store was open 24 hours so she asked Reza for cash instead of asking directly at the transfer to her mother.

Olivia immediately gave the account number to the shopkeeper and said that she wanted to transfer 500 thousand money.

"Okay Ma'am ready."

"Oh yes Mas I take this bread is for me to eat now," said Olivia for fear of being suspected of stealing.

"Take it for 2000 rupiah" said the shopkeeper while typing the nominal money in the transfer machine.

Olivia took the brown bread, opened it from the plastic and chewed it.

"Well, you're pregnant, so you're still hungry at night?" guess the store owner while offering proof of successful transfer to Olivia.

"I don't know, either, I haven't checked yet." Can't be if Olivia says she hasn't had dinner at this hour?

Olivia grabbed the receipt offered by the shopkeeper.

"Try to check Ma'am, usually my wife is pregnant with her first child like that, like to eat again at night," suggested the store owner.

"Yes, I'll try."

The shop owner nodded. "Is there anything you want to buy again?"

"Ngecer is Ma'am, isn't it?" The shopkeeper got up from his seat and walked towards the pile of rice. The man immediately put 2 liters of rice into a plastic bag.

"There again?"

"Eggs half a kilo only and instant two fried noodles."

"OK, the total is 646 thousand Mbak with his transfer."

"Add 1 liter of cooking oil!"

"OK, so 662 rupiah Ma'am." The man handed Olivia a plastic bag containing groceries and the woman paid for it.

"Thank you, ma'am, I'm sorry" Olivia said after receiving the change.

"Sama-sama Ma'am."

Olivia walked out of the store. However, the shopkeeper called Olivia back.

"Mom! Ma'am!"

Olivia turned around. "What's up, Mom? Is something missing or is the calculation wrong?"

"No Ma'am I just want to give Mbak rice this box, eat yes Ma'am. This was my wife who asked to buy it turned out she had ordered online, so do not spend it. Instead of mubasir, I just love his mama."

"Thank you very much, Mom."

"She be careful, Mother."

Olivia nodded and hurriedly walked towards her house as the night was getting late.

Arriving at home, Reza was asleep on the living room sofa. In a hurry, Olivia walks into the kitchen and puts her groceries away. After that open the rice box and look at the contents.

"Well, the roasted chicken." Olivia wants to gobble it up. He immediately washed his hands and ate in the kitchen. After it was finished, go back to the living room and wake Reza up to move into the room.

Both of them entered their rooms.

The next day after Reza left, Olivia went to the gold shop and sold the ring.

After the ring was sold, Olivia immediately counted the money from the sale of the ring before leaving the jewelry store. Who knows, the store employees miscalculated the money.

"4 million and a half, good." Olivia breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing selling the ring Olivia now went to the market. The woman bought the necessary ingredients to make the rice. Do not forget to also buy other kitchen materials for eating needs for one week.

Finished with his groceries Olivia came home with an angkot ride. The money is not much will be reduced if you have to take a taxi. It's okay he crammed in the angkot as long as it can save expenses.

"Well, you're very wasteful to get a little money directly shopping" protested Reza. Reza was surprised because Olivia came home with a lot of groceries.

Olivia did not answer, but continued to enter the house.

"Olivia!" reza shouted furiously as Olivia ignored her.

"Oh, where's my money?" Reza chased Olivia into the kitchen.

After putting the groceries away, Olivia returns Reza's borrowed money last night.

"This is it, thank you very much."

Reza nodded.

"Oh yes Mas, Olivia shopping this much is not because wasteful. Olivia wants to sell rice like she used to so she can have money. Mas Reza doesn't want to cover Oliv's living expenses, does he?"

"As much as you want to do what." Reza turned around and left with a handful of money from Olivia.

"Huh." Olivia gave a rough sigh.

"May I continue to be patient with God." Olivia's prayer in my heart.

Seriate.
