At ten in the evening, Adnan arrived at his house. Adnan got out of his car. After that Adnan stepped onto the front porch of his house. Adnan then knocked on his door.
Tok tok...
Moments later, Ms. Retno opened her door.
"Adnan, where are you from? why go so long?" ask Miss Retno.
"Sorry Mom. I bought some food outside for Monika. Just remember that ma'am. So I went home last night" explained Adnan.
"Yes, come in quickly! I want to lock the door again."
Adnan then went into his house. So too with Miss Retno. He also followed Adnan in.
"Where's Mona?"
"Monika is in her room."
"I'm going to go to the room first, Mom."
Before Adnan stepped up, Miss Retno called out to him.
"Adnan, there was someone coming here nyariin you," said Ms. Retno.
Adnan was shocked when he heard Miss Retno. He then looked at Bu Retno fixedly.
"Who's Ma'am?" ask Adnan.
"Mom doesn't know who that person is. It was Monika who opened the door and chatted with the guy."
Adnan was silent and seemed to think.
Who yes, the nights like this are a guest. What is Marko.
"Adnan, is it true that you have a debt to loan sharks?" ask Miss Retno.
Adnan was shocked when he heard the question from his mother.
"What! do you know where that came from?"
"So Monika who told me the same story. If the person who came here wants you to pay a debt."
Is that maybe a hero. Duh, why the hell is this Hero. Not really understand the condition of people, inner Adnan.
"Mom, I don't have to think about that. Because it's my problem. Let me just finish my own thing with that guy."
"Adnan, how can you not think. That man was screaming at the door calling out to you. Luckily, Monika has managed to get them all to leave."
"How many people have come here, ma'am?"
"Three Adnan's."
I'm sure, it must be Wira and his two men.
"Yes already Ma'am. I go to the room first. Want to eat food for Monika. Monika wants to eat well he said. That's why I bought him satay. Do you want to too?"
"No. I don't like satay. Later the mother's high blood can recur again, if you eat satay. I'm just going to go to the room, I'm going to get some rest."
Retno then stepped away from Adnan. Adnan walked to his room. Inside the room, he saw Monika already asleep on the bed.
Adnan smile. He approached Monika to wake Monika up.
"Mon, I'm home. I bought you satay. You don't want to eat the satya?" ask Adnan.
"Once upon a time, you. Where the hell is it?" ask Monika.
"You're eating well. That's why I bought you satay outside. You like satay, right?"
"Save it for tomorrow. I'm not hungry."
"What's not hungry? you haven't had dinner yet. You have to think about the child in your womb. If her mother doesn't eat, she'll eat what's in her stomach."
"But I'm full, because of the debt collector."
"So anybody here?" ask Adnan.
"Yes. He wants you to take on debt" replied Monika.
"So you've been lying to me all this time. You turned out to have the same debt as loan sharks. And your debt is already 20 million Mas...!" monika looked upset.
Adnan hush. He lowered his head. He looked sad when his mother and wife knew of his debt problems to Wira. Adnan wanted to hide the debt problem with his wife and mother. Adnan did not want to make his wife and mother follow the thought of the debt.
"Mas, three months ago, you borrowed fifteen million for what? what's less your salary for the needs of our lives?" ask Monika.
Adnan tried to look at his wife.
"Dear, I'm sorry. Because I've never told you this problem is the same as you before. I borrow that much money, for the needs of our daily lives. When Mom was hospitalized, I wasn't paid. I want to borrow it from my friends and no one holds the money. So I was forced to borrow from Wira on an interest-bearing loan."
"Wira? so the one who screams in front of our house is called Wira? where do you know the loan shark from, Mas?"
"He's my Junior High School friend Mon. We were once close. And I don't think, if it turns out to borrow the same Hero, the interest is doubled."
"Ih. You're so stupid. Why not borrow it from someone else. Why go to loan sharks. Everywhere the loan shark is cruel. Even if it's your friend. They won't look at you."
"What if you can't pay the debt. Can accumulate more flowers Mas. can-can loan sharks confiscate all our goods in this house. It could be, our cars and houses are also seized by Mas."
Adnan breathed deeply. He rubbed his face in frustration.
"I'm confused Mon. Actually I don't want you and mom to know about this. Because I don't want to make you think about my debt problem. But you and your mother now know, yes, that's it" said Adnan.
Adnan seemed to have given up on the situation. It seems Adnan will be very difficult to restore the economy as it used to be. Especially until now, Adnan has not been able to work.
"If this continues, I am lazy for a long time with you. I am tired of living poor with you. If I were no longer pregnant, I would have left this house yesterday. Let this house be confiscated as well" said Monika full of anger.
"Mon don't talk like that dong. Sorry for me, Mon. Because of me, our lives are ruined like this. Had I not been in PHK, I would have been able to pay my debt to Wira, I could still pay Sulis, you and mom, also every day would have been able to eat well."
Regrets always come too late. Adnan regretted why he had to leave Mila. Mila is a very good woman.
Had Mila been in Monika's current position, surely Mila would have always provided support for her husband. Unlike Monika who is angry every day and always blames the situation.
Monika was lying down again when her stomach felt pain due to the kick of the baby in the womb.
"Udah ah, I'm going to sleep. You eat the food yourself. I don't have appetite anymore."
After Monika fell asleep, Adnan got up from his seat. After that, he approached the window. Adnan looked out the window. Suddenly the shadows of Aluna and Mila flashed through his mind.
Mila, I'm sorry. I've been mean to you. I never believed in you at that time. Maybe this is the punishment I deserve Mil, because I have broken your heart, inner Adnan.
"Aluna, I'm sorry Papa Aluna. Papa's got a lot wrong with you. Papa kangen with you Aluna," said Adnan.
A drop of Adnan's tears suddenly flowed from his eye patch. Adnan rubbed it rough. He misses his son very much now. But he felt bad to call Mila and ask about Aluna.
