When Love Should Determine

When Love Should Determine
Chapter 58


Since that night's talk, they've gotten along. Although there was no apology from Hamzah's lips, Larissa was willing to forgive and forget everything. Moreover, she saw a change in her husband.


Since Bu Ani's rujak business changed hands with Larissa, the business has become more and more crowded. Moreover, Larissa innovates by adding a new menu to the business.


Along with that, Larissa's economy is getting better. He managed to raise a considerable amount of money. Larissa also took the initiative to open an account to save the money.


But in fact, an improved economy does not make Larissa household peaceful. There's just trouble coming. As if the matter was happy to befriend him.


This time the trouble came from Iqbal, his half-brother. At that time Iqbal's son who was the same age as Larissa's son entered the Hospital. Name's Adam. Larissa also invited her husband to visit the nephew.


After a few days of treatment there, Adam was allowed to go home. But only a few days at home, Adam had to be rushed back to the Hospital because of high heat accompanied by convulsions. The doctor said Adam had a step.


After intensive treatment for several days, Adam was allowed to go home with a few notes.


During these months, Adam had to go back and forth to the Hospital due to the same illness. Apparently Adam's immune class is very low, so he easily hurt.


Because back and forth in the Hospital, Iqbal eventually ran out of money to pay the cost. Bu Ani also gave some of his jewelry to Iqbal for sale and paid the cost of the Hospital.


Seeing that, Larissa did not remain silent. He also lent some money to his half-brother.


Although the relationship between Larissa and Iqbal is not well established, Larissa still has a heart. He felt sorry for Adam's condition. After all he was his nephew, which meant that he was his son too.


Arriving home, Iqbal gave a small thanks for Adam's return from the hospital. He also changed the name of his son, who was previously named Fathir. Because according to smart people, Adam is not strong with his initial name so he is often sickly.


The relationship between Iqbal and Larissa has improved slightly since then. Although they are still rarely seen chatting together, but it does not last long. Iqbal is back.


This time the problem is money. Adam had only been home three days from the hospital.


In the afternoon as usual when buyers began to quiet, Larissa swept the yard of the house. Suddenly, Ani called out to him. "Rissa, come here for a second! I want to talk."


Larissa stopped her activities and walked over to her mother. "What's up, mom?."


"here, boy! sit first. There's something I want to talk to you about" said Bu Ani as she patted the empty spot next to her.


Larissa obeyed her mother and sat next to her. "What's up, ma'am? is there anything important?" he saw the face of the mother fixed.


Bu Ani seemed to think for a moment, looking for the right words to talk. "Rissa, your sister's boat is old. It's broken often. So now rarely go to sea." The fingers of Larissa.


"Your brother wants to buy a better and bigger boat. The plan is to buy a boat. Now a lot of people use that type of boat because the catch is much better."


Yes, in recent months people are indeed busy discussing about the boat. But Larissa is not sure. Because he doesn't understand the boat.


But one thing that stuck with Larissa's mind, was not just a few days ago Adam out of the Hospital. And even Iqbal doesn't have a penny to pay for his expenses. Then why now he even thought he wanted to buy a boat that cost tens of millions.


Hearing her mother's words, a little Larissa began to understand. Moreover, it means saying like that if you do not want to borrow money. But Larissa did not immediately speak. He wanted to make sure first. " What does that mean, Mom? Just talk directly. No need to beat around the bush."


For a moment Bu Ani took a breath, and then she started talking. "How many savings do you have? Please, child. Lend it to your sister first. Than your money in the bank is useless, mending you lend it to your brother."


"True, that's my guess. Must be willing to borrow money" inner Larissa. But he did not dare to say it directly, worried about offending his mother.


"What money is Iqbal? suddenly I want to buy a new boat. Didn't Adam just leave the hospital yesterday and you can't pay the cost?" ask Larissa.


Actually it was the way he subtly refused. I hope the mother understands the meaning of her words. "You don't exist, you don't need to first. Do not give up desire if you can't. Especially just following people."


But the mother did not want to understand. He kept forcing Larissa to lend him money. "Please, son, lend me your money. Don't you feel sorry for your sister? and with you lending money, your brotherhood will be even better."


"It's not a matter of pity no pity, Mom! But a brother who has no good intentions. If he really wanted to borrow money, he should have spoken to me directly. Not even telling mom like this" cried Larissa in the heart. He was a little offended to hear his mother's words.


"Later mother will also sell all the mother's jewelry. And the money is combined with your money. So your sister can get a good boat" continued the mother without caring about her daughter's feelings.


This is one thing Larissa does not like about her mother. He will do anything to obey Iqbal's will. For that, he had to hurt his daughter. To him, Iqbal's desire was absolute. Even the mother does not care for herself in the future in order to fulfill the wishes of her son.


Hearing all the mother's words, Larissa's heart grew more disappointed and hurt. She felt that she was loving him. My mother has always behaved like that to him. But to reject his request directly, he did not have enough courage. He was worried about getting his mother's heart hurt.


"Come, mom! I can't decide right now. Although I earn money from my own hard work, but I also have a husband that I must take care of his feelings. So I should talk to him about this first. I'll ask her opinion before making a decision."


For a while, that was all Larissa could say. He should also consider the opinion of the husband before making a decision. Anyway he's married. So she couldn't make a decision without her husband's knowledge.


Bu Ani was silent. Her face implied disappointment at Larissa's reply. But he could not do much because what his son said was true. "All right! talk to your husband. I'm waiting for good news from you. Soon!."


"Yes, mom!" answer Larissa briefly. He also continued his activities that had been delayed due to the call of the mother. While Bu Ani himself came back to his son.
