My House of Resilience
Chapter 38. Ari was fired

Entering the third trimester makes Marlena more often ask for the company of Ari. He has to work every day to meet the needs of life. However, the woman continued to forbid him from leaving.

"I'm so upset with you. I have to work today. I can't keep you company" complained Ari. It felt like his anger wanted to explode when he knew the spoiled nature of his wife who was crazy.

"Mas, how are you, anyway? Just want to make it good! I am a big pregnant. If at any time will give birth, at home there is no one, I ask for help who?"

That was always Marlena's excuse. He could ask the neighbors around him for help. However, it is a matter of rumor that Marlena is the woman who took Ari from her first wife. That's what made him reluctant to ask his neighbors for help.

"I have to work. If not working, where will we get money for your birth expenses and thanksgiving? Do you want us to have no money at all?"

In recent times, Marlena has always used money to buy her baby. Not a little bit used. Approaching labor, she even nagged on her husband because he did not hold a dime of money.

"Mas, but I'm afraid I'm home alone. At the very least, think of me and your son" he asked again.

Ari saw a wall clock several times. If it is often late to come to his workplace, it could be that the foreman who hired him will fire unilaterally. How will he get the money to support his wife and child if Marlena drags this?

Just about to move her legs, Marlena had a contraction. He should be rushed to the hospital immediately. This time Ari did not go to work. Ari has been a few times late to his place of work.

Several times phone calls were ignored due to the focus on taking his wife to the hospital. Arriving there, Marlena went into the IGD room. However, it was not directly handled because there were some files left behind.

"Sir, since your wife is having contractions, we will monitor her first. At this time, try to take care of patient registration to the front office. Don't forget the KIA book is included yes, sir!" nurse message.

Ari who had only known the tools of carpentry suddenly asked to meet his wife for a while. The files never knew where to keep them.

"Suster, I want to see my wife for a second. I have something to ask him."

"Please, Sir!"

Ari went to see his wife. At this moment Marlena was feeling tremendous pain. His contractions really made him sick.

"Okay, ouch, ouch ...."

Marlena kept complaining. However, Ari could not bear to listen to his voice getting here even louder.

"Mar, shame on the sight of so many!" lamented Ari.

"Mas, this hurts!"

Ari who cares. Most important at this time were the files Marlena needed for the completion of the action files at the hospital.

"Already, don't talk too much! You'd better show me where you keep your KK, KTP, and KI-whatever that's what the nurse asks for."

"KIA, Mum! It's in my closet. Everything I keep there."

Ari no longer cared about what happened to his current wife. Focus only on the files needed. His phone has been ringing ever since. The phone call from his foreman had not been picked up.

Naturally Ari did not know what KIA was. As long as Marlena is in control or there is any business, Ari never accompanies her.

"It's the foreman too why keep calling?" garutu Ari on his bike.

The nurse told him to come to the hospital on time. It will later be used to decide on the delivery treatment of Marlena, his wife.

When he got home, his phone kept ringing. Ari hurriedly ignored the call. After getting some files needed, Ari did not go directly to the hospital. But you have to go to the photo copy place first.

Maybe this is what is called karma. While waiting for the completion of the file for his wife, his phone got an important message from his foreman. Wanting to ignore the message, it actually made Ari widen his eyes.

[You're fired!]

One sentence that makes Ari's breath up and down. It's all because of Marlena. Had his wife not argued or blocked his intention to enter work on time, this would not have happened.

"Damn!" ari Ompat.

"Why, Mas? It's over" said the copy keeper.

"How much, Mas?"

"Five thousand rupiah, Mas."

Ari took out one piece of twenty thousand rupiah. After getting her change, she went to the hospital immediately. After her dealings with Marlena are over, Ari will come to the project to apologize to her foreman. Marlena's state of emergency could be used as an excuse so her foreman wouldn't fire her. However, he must remain calm.

After submitting some files, the administration section provides some details of the cost. For patients who gave birth normally, Ari had to prepare a money range of five to six million. For the birth through the Caesar procedure, the administration said that he had to provide a range of twelve million.

Ari then holds his temple. He suddenly got dizzy. Where did he get that kind of money? So panicked, he suddenly drowned. He just holds the money to eat the next few days. Cigarettes and gasoline money are running low. This is all because Marlena is too much.

After completing the administration, Ari left the hospital. The goal is now to the project where he works.

"Boss, I'm sorry" Ari told his foreman.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry! You are outrageous! How many times have you been late for a project? This is already more than his normal limit, Ari! Don't you think your job here is a good and cool handyman, all your work is good, but that doesn't mean ignoring the call of the foreman! Anyway I don't want you here anymore" his foreman scolded.

"Boss, I was really dizzy today with my wife" she pleaded.

"Why again? She sick? Cravings again?"

"No, Boss. But, to give birth. So, today I rushed her to the hospital because she had a contraction. I'm worried and nervous, boss. Regarding the message, it's not true, is it? I'm not fired, am I?"

Foreman silent. Ari's performance is good, but lately he often comes late. The foreman has been rebuked several times.

"Sorry, Ari. This time you've gone too far. I don't care what happened to your wife. If you decide to work here, focus! Do not neglect what is your responsibility. If it's like this, how do I defend you in front of the big boss?"

The big boss in question is the one who funds the ongoing project. However, the foreman's remarks did not seem to fool around. Ari remains fired so she is more and more stressed to face her increasingly complicated life.
