My Wife's Shopping Money was taken by My Mother
Section 20

After replying to a message from Bang Aldo, suddenly mother calls.

'Prepared to be sprayed by mom, ' I muttered.

I picked up mom's phone.

"Hello, Deni. What did you think diem-diem moved out of here? Who taught you how to behave like that?"

"It would be wrong if I moved to want to be independent with my family? My son and wife need a comfortable place, ma'am."

"Are you uncomfortable at home? You've been living with your mother for almost thirty years, not comfortable where to try?"

"That's different, ma'am, the condition. I'm comfortable because I'm a mother's son. While my wife and my son, my mother considers them other people. Right what I'm saying?"

"Not so, Den. Hurry you guys home again. I hope you can stay in this house again. Icha's miss, Icha" she said.

"Sorry, Mom. I can't keep up Mother said. Let us be calm in a new place. I just pray for us, yes!"

I hung up the phone from Mom. That woman gave birth to me, but I can't let her take care of me in family matters.

Before long Bram came to bring someone who wanted to be ART in this house.

"Come, Bram. Yuk, just sit here!"

"okay, Den. Come on, Bik."

"This, Den. His name is Bik Surti. He's looking for a job."

"Oh, yes Bik. Bibik will come at 7, go home at 5 pm. How, would? Ten hours here accompany my family."

"Yes, Sir. God willing," he answered.

"Well, that means starting tomorrow! For the salary, I give you a million, yeah, Bik!"

Bik Surti nodded.

"Alhamdulillah if you agree."

"Okay, Bram thank you. I'll transfer the fee later, make a cilok snack," I said to Bram.

"Okay, thank you very much, Den. If you'll excuse me first. Bik Surti can work here tomorrow" Bram said.

"Okay, Bram. Thanks a lot!"

"Together." I drove them to the front door. Bik Surti got into Bram's car, and they left.

Icha. He sits on my thighs.

"Pa, Grandma's mad, huh?"

"No, Honey. Grandma is just why we moved," I said as I ruffled her hair.

"Icha like it there. But Grandma's fierce. Here too Icha likes. There's Mama with Papa."

"Yes. Papa likes it here. Because here we gather together."

"Icha has no friends. Farrel's just Ayesa doesn't exist." Icha's face is cloudy.

"Yes, Pa. Cha dear Papa," Icha hugged me and then I kissed her cheeks.

"Papa loves Icha too."

After that, I accompanied Icha to brush her teeth before going to bed. Go to his room so he goes to sleep.

"Pa, how come there's no bed sheet yet?"

"Papa hasn't bought it yet, Cha. Bentar Papa find the cloth first, yes!"

I took out our bags. If not wrong there is a cloth for Farhan's sling.

"This, Cha. Wear this first, yes!"

"Yes Pa. But Icha doesn't like it."

"What type of truck, do you want to install?" I looked into Icha's eyes.

"Mmc ... Want some!"

"Alhamdulillah, the son of the obedient Papa. Thanks Icha for coming. Because we don't have any sheets yet, honey."

"Yes, Pa." Icha lay down, before long she fell asleep after reciting the prayer.

I left his room, before I turned off his bedroom lights so he could sleep.

I'm heading to my room. It turns out that Niar is still awake, Farhan is asleep next to Niar. My wife was somehow thinking about what, so her face was still grim.

"What's up, Dek? Tell me brother!" I sat in the chair facing the bed.

Niar is still flinching, not telling stories.

"Come, Honey!" I held both of his hands.

"Don't believe my story often."

I flinched, remembering the time I ignored her vent.

"What you told me first? Yes, I believe in you. I mean, back then, we couldn't be too suspicious of anyone else."

"But my story is true, it's not fabricated."

"Yes, Brother knows. The evidence is already there about the mother's actions. But you haven't found any evidence of Bang Aldo. Now what do you want to tell?"

"Bang Aldo pretended to be good, Bang!"

"You scared? Okay. Later if there is anything, I do not exist, you call the security guard at this complex only. They will be ready to help. I've got your number in there. But your salary should not be kept everywhere. You should use it right away if you're threatened, Niar!"

"Don't be afraid, Deck. You have to be brave. When I'm not here, it's you who has to face it." I have to strengthen Niar, because he plays a role when I'm not at home.

Niar was silent again. He thought a lot, but he didn't tell me. I know that, can't be forced to tell him everything.

"You can, Deck. God willing!"

Finally Niar nodded his head.

"Sir, today's job can ask Mom, yes!" I said to Bik Surti.

"Yes, sir."

Today I bought all the house needs. Before dawn return to Jakarta.

"Sir, I want to buy something that hasn't been bought yesterday, yes! For foodstuffs how?"

"Not complete yet, Bang."

"Yes, you've written it all down now! Let me buy it later."

Niar nodded, then looked for a piece of paper and a pen to write down what to buy.

"Just like this. I'm leaving first" I said.

Before entering the car, I got a call from Cella, exactly Marcella. Marcella is someone who is close to Mom, I used to be betrothed to her. But Cella's been in the U. S. because of her job. Maybe he's already in town?

I raised it too.

"Yes, Cella. What's up?"

"You still have my number, Deni?"

"Yes, still. Because I didn't change the number" I replied. "You're in Indonesia?"

"Reply, Den. I miss you the same. Uh, you must have married. Sorry, yeah!"

"Yes. With the woman I love so much. What are you, Cella?"

"I'm single, Den. I still think you, can't move on," he said.

"Ah, you're just fishing. Cel, it's yes. I'm leaving first."

"Where are you going, Den?"

"You'll buy macems in some stores later" I said.

"Well, I'll meet up yuk, Den. I'll wait where we used to meet, yeah. It's 11 o'clock!"

"But, Cel?"

The phone has been closed. I will refuse because I may not. Yes, yes, how will it be.

I stopped by the electronics store to buy a television and a refrigerator. Then to the supermarket buy Niar orders. And to the household appliance store, complement the one that does not yet exist.

Time shows at 11. I decided to go home, but suddenly my gauntlet went back.

"Den, I've been in the usual place" he said.

If it's like this, I can't refuse. Kasian, I've considered him my own sister. I'll go up to him for a minute.

When we arrived at the usual cafe we hung out first.

"Dee, Deni. You're getting hotter!" Cella almost hugged me. I immediately stayed away from him.

"Eh, sorry, Den. I'm release!"

"Yes, don't do that. I don't like to be hugged other than my wife."

"Yes, sorry, yeah! Where do you live now? Who knows, we might stop by later" he said.

"In the Gardenia housing. I'll give you the address if you want to stop by" I said.

We talked, I saw the clock was 12.

"Cel, I'm home now! I'm looking forward to my wife" I said.

"All right then. Please first. Be careful, Deni!"

"Yes." Yeah."

***

Thank God I bought them all. Despite reaching into almost all my savings, I am willing to for this family that I love.

It was time to return to Jakarta. As usual, Niar accompanied me to breakfast very early in the morning before I left.

I went back to advising him to be able to behave when he was threatened.

"Remember your salary used, yes! When I call, don't forget to pick up!"

"Yes, Bang."

When I was about to enter the car, Icha suddenly came. This time she woke up when I left.

Icha cried as she pleased, forbidding me to leave.

"Papa, don't go, Pa!" said.

I can't go down anymore, it could be a while later.

"Let's Papa go home, Cha!" I waved at Icha. Then turn on the engine leaving them.
