My Wife's Shopping Money was taken by My Mother
Section 22

This afternoon it's my schedule to go home. While waiting for the afternoon, during the break, I called home. I don't know how much I'm worried about them.

When the voice calls, Niar usually does not lift immediately, I have to wait until the tone to so, then pick up the phone.

"Assynolajet. Dek, how's it going? I'll be home in the afternoon!"

"Vaalaikumsalam. Okay, Bang."

"All is well?"

"Yes. Bram come put the camera on."

"Oh yes, CCTV camera. Thank God if it is installed. Auntie in today?"

"She, Bang."

"okkey. I miss you, honey. Don't forget to take the medicine. Tomorrow we go back to the doctor, yes!"

"Yes, Bang. Yes, yes, Bang!

"Ok Niar's. See you tonight!"

"Yes." Yeah."

After that I like to go to lunch with Rio. We talked to each other about family. He's the one I really miss, if I move on later.

***

My mutational decision is in place. I went back to work at the branch.

"Alhamdulillah, congratulations, Den. Finally your wish came true. Very direct on the ACC," said Rio.

"Yes, Alhamdulillah. The Director understands my problem."

"Well, I'll play there sometime, right?"

"By, dong Rio. Don't forget to bring your family!" I said while punching his stomach slowly.

"okay, Den. May your wife be healthy again, yes!"

"Yes, Rio. Thanks yeah!"

Then Rio gave me something.

"Den, 'cause you're moving so fast. I can't prepare anything for you. It's a memento of mine. The pen that always accompanies anywhere."

"Well, I'm excited to have a memory. What am I giving you?"

"No, Den. If there is none. Calm down, God willing I don't care for you either" Rio replied.

"Hehe, thanks, Bro. Always healthy, yes!"

"Yes, equally!"

We also went back to work. Before I go home, I'll take care of all my stuff. And then go to other friends too.

Bismillah, the way home with the files, the things from the boarding house.

As usual, I always buy food at home. I from the boarding house was quite late in the afternoon, and will be until night.

I also arrived home. There's a car parked outside, but I don't recognize it. But the driver was still in the car.

After I got down, I knocked on the driver's door.

"Wait who?"

"Wait for the passengers, the people are inside" he said.

I nodded, then went inside. As I got closer, I heard the voice of my mother persuading Niar.

"Niar, you're back home, yuk!"

I'm coming in right away.

"Assalamualaikum," I said as I opened the door.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Deni has arrived. Thought your mother had already come. I want you to go back to Mom's house, Den!"

"Sorry, Mom. I can't," I replied.

"You are, why the hell. What's your reason for leaving mom's house?" Mother asked in a high tone.

I get excited to get angry. I take a short breath.

"Mom, do you want to know why?"

"What's your excuse?"

Just sec. I went inside to get proof of the checking account from my wife's savings account.

"Here, Mom."

"What's this?"

"Read it by Mom. Please let me have an opinion after seeing that," I said.

Mom looked at the sheet of paper I gave her.

"Mom doesn't understand, Den."

"It's clear there. Every month there is a withdrawal from ATMs of 6.5 million. And in the last transaction, Niar transferred 6.5 million money to the mother's account. Now what do you want to talk about?"

I looked at Niar, he was down. I'm afraid he's dropping again.

"Sir, tell me the truth that's been going on!" I held his hand, then raised his chin so that he would not bow.

"I-it's." Niar speechless.

"Quick say!"

"Mom, don't threaten my wife. Even though Niar didn't say it, I knew what Mom had done to my wife" I said, accidentally seeing Mom.

"Already, Bang. Already!" said Niar.

"You're smart now, Den. Since I was a kid, I've taken care of you to get your hands on it now?"

"It's not so, Mom. Now I tell you the truth. Isn't that what I said just now? Answer, Mom!" I raised the volume of my voice in front of Mom.

Niar got up, then held my mouth.

"Wild, Niar. Let me expose all of my mother's crimes to you this survivor. You've suffered enough."

"Mom doesn't understand what you mean. Okay Deni, if you choose to be a bad boy because of that woman, I hope you get the payback."

"Haha ... Mom doesn't read herself. It is precisely the mother who dzolim with my wife. Praying what is not good for me."

"Deni, you're outrageous!"

Plaque.

Mom left the house after slapping me. Let it be, I don't realize she's wrong yet. I was even prayed for a no-no.

The sound of cars leaving our house. I'm approaching Niar soon. Icha also came out of her room in fear.

"I'm sorry, honey. I've been negligent all along. You don't have to think about this. You have to get up, yeah!"

"Icha, here, my papa."

He came up to me, and I grabbed him. He buried himself in my chest.

"Papa ..," he said while crying.

"Udah, Cha. Don't cry. Papa is here!"

"Icha scared, Pa!"

"Fear what?"

"Fear Grandma. Granny is fierce same Mama same Icha!" he said while sobbing.

"Icha, calm down. There's Papa." I said while hugging her mother.

"Mama must be strong too!" I said to Niar.

She's quiet. There was still a look of sadness on his face. But I comforted them with all the gifts I brought.

"Icha mauuu eat martabak, Pa!" said Icha then.

"Okay, it's papa bukain huh!"

We also ate together tonight. I'm sure everything will be fine.

"What is my mother feeling now?" ask Doctor Saptadji for my wife.

"I still like to be anxious, scared, Doc!" said.

"What happened yesterday that shook you?"

"Some one peeked at home. Then yesterday my in-laws came."

"Who's peeping?"

"I know, it must be him."

"You're anxious and scared because of all that?"

"Yes, Doc. I can't sleep."

I heard their conversation from the room. My wife revealed it at last too. May this be the path to his recovery.

After consulting with the doctor, as usual, we had to redeem the medicine first. I talked to Niar.

"Sir, how do you feel after consulting a doctor?"

"Better, Bang."

"Alhamdulillah. I'm sure you'll get well soon."

Niar nodded and smiled faintly.

"Sir, you yesterday why not tell me that you've been doing that to you all this time" I said.

"I'm scared, Bang. I tremble when I'm afraid" he said.

"Yes, I'm sorry, brother. Because you don't feel what you feel. So what you think is easy, but you think it's hard. Because you're not in your position. But I promise you, I will always support you to heal, Deck!"

"Yes, thank you, Bang!"

After that we went home. Because I don't want to leave the kids for long. They were left with Bik Surti.

Arriving at home, Bik Surti gives Niar a brown envelope.

"What is that, Bik?" my many.

"Someone sent this. From the courier, sir!" said.

We kept the envelope because it was lunch time. We ate together, after which Niar fed Farhan.

The kids also took a nap. I see, Niar took the envelope. Then open.

After that, his face became sad. He cried and threw the envelope, which contained several photos. It is unclear what photo.

"Why, Deck?"

She kept crying. I'm picking it up. It turned out to be a picture of me meeting Cella at a cafe and in Jakarta yesterday. Who planned this?
