Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 49

Huda listened carefully to the protest by his wife. Huda already knows, Arin will definitely be concerned about Novi's whereabouts since the woman appeared at home.

Over the past few days, Huda has busied himself outside the home, especially to manage the store. Huda's busyness left the man with no chance to spend time at home.

Since the beginning, Huda has also invited Arin to follow him to do work outside the home. However, Arin unfortunately refuses with bad reasons to the Huda family. While his family was busy taking care of guests, it was not nice for Arin to leave the house.

"I don't like Novi constantly coming to this house mas! I feel disturbed by the presence of Novi" said Arin.

Huda sighed, then grabbed the wife's hand. The man gently rubbed the back of Arin's hand while calming his wife who was enveloped by the anger.

"Mas understands. Mas know you are not comfortable with the existence of Novi here," said Huda.

"I didn't feel at home. But there is no way I go from home, fitting home again rich gini. I also want to help. I also wanted to show myself as a good daughter-in-law. But I feel Novi has called my role and sought attention from people" Arin said.

"Yes, Rin. I know that Novi is sometimes a bit overwhelming. Mas also prohibited Novi to not help at home. Mas did not expect that he would come and help here for days," exclaimed Huda.

After his quarrel with Arin over Novi, Huda had tried to ban Novi from coming to his house too often again. But it seems Novi is not paying much heed to the request from Huda. Huda himself also asked Novi not to come to help, but Novi just still came and seized the attention of the people.

Though the Huda family already had many neighbors who helped and paid, but Novi still came and helped the kitchen work voluntarily.

"Please say the same affirmative Novi, Mas! I can't take it anymore!" said Arin.

"Yes, Rin. Mas will soon finish the business with Novi. Mas will speak firmly with Novi," said Huda.

Arin was quite relieved to have brought out the tears in her heart to her husband. Arin hopes that Huda can act immediately, so that Novi no longer interferes with their household.

"Please wait a minute, okay? Don't get too into the hearts of people! They don't know our home! We also cannot control the words of people. I just want you to believe in me. Whatever is said to be the same people, help you believe more in the words of Mas," said Huda.

"Yes, Mas. I'll try to make no more harrumphed people say."

"Whatever they say, the daughter-in-law in this family is still you. Mas's wife is still you, not Novi," said Huda.

Arin was really happy to see Huda who was completely impartial to Novi. Although Huda and Novi were close, Arin believed her husband had no special relationship with Novi.

"Thank you very much, Mom! I'm really glad I took off the burden I've been burdening since. Honestly, during the day at home, I actually had a headache with the people's speech and also saw the behavior of Novi," said Arin.

"If you really do not like to see Novi and do not want to be in the same place Novi, mendingan you go with Mas aja to the store," Huda invited.

Indeed, Arin also did not feel at home in the same place as Novi, but the woman still did not want to leave the house. If Arin leaves, Novi will increasingly feel like a mistress. Arin will still maintain his position as a son-in-law, although Novi will still receive praise from the people.

"No need, Mom. I want to be at home. I want to help at home" said Arin. "If I stay away from Novi, later Novi will feel more powerful."

Huda rattles his wife's hair. The two lay on the bed exchanging stories before they took a break.

During getting to know Huda before marriage, Arin herself also did not know that her husband had a close friend of a woman. "I myself do not know if it turns out there is a Novi that has been deket first with this family," Arin said.

"But even though Novi deket same Umi same Riski, but Mas same Novi no relationship whatsoever. For Mas, Novi is just a teacher at Riski's school."

"Mas sure it's never been the same Novi before? People on the talk that Mas deket same Novi looks harmonious. They are even very sure that Mas will definitely treat Novi and make Novi as a wife" Arin exclaimed with a pouting face.

"But in fact I didn't call Novi, did I? Mas did not expect Novi to be Mas's wife because Mas is not interested in Novi," said Huda later.

Huda's words were enough to make Arin feel superior to Novi. Novi may receive praise from the people. But in reality, Huda will still choose Arin over Novi, and the man already belongs to Arin.

"There's really no plan to be Novi as a wife, right?" ask Arin.

Huda made a smile. "If Amas really wants to be Novi as a wife, why would Mas treat you?"

Huda grabs Arin's wrist and then dips it. "Please give me the same time. I'll finish it all the same Novi."

Arin nodded while returning Huda's smile with a radiant face. The woman was impatient to get rid of Arin away from her husband so that the woman did not continue to harass her household.

The next day, Novi reappeared at Ustadz Wahab's house as usual. When he runs into Arin, the woman wants to kick Novi out of her house. But Arin had entrusted the task to Huda. Arin was sure that her husband would not let her down.

"Please come here! Today will be the last day you set foot in this house!" inner Arin.

When Arin was busy in the kitchen, she accidentally saw her husband and Novi talking together in the backyard. Both of them seem to be engaged in a serious conversation.

Arin immediately approached and looked for a place to eavesdrop. The woman was really curious about what her husband and Novi discussed.

"How do you think Mas Huda did ngusir Novi?" mummy Arin. While hiding from behind a wall, the woman ear-pitched her ears to steal the conversation between Huda and Novi.

"What are they talking about?" grumbling Arin felt annoyed, as he could only hear a faint sound.

However, a few seconds later Novi heard a small sobbing from Novi. "Novi cry?" inner Arin was shocked.

"Isn't Amas promised to marry me?" suddenly Novi.

Arin widened his eyes. The woman really did not expect to listen to anything quite shocking from Novi's mouth.

"What's? Promise to marry?"
