A Reply to My Husband

Mother's Debts

His mother was shocked to hear Barra's voice. He had not expected Barra to welcome him behind the door like this moment.

"Barra why haven't you slept?" ask her mother to try to be ordinary.

"Where's mom from?" Barra repeated her question in a cold tone.

"Mother had an appointment with a friend of mother's," answered her mother a little.

"Which friend of mother?!"

"Is ... Anyway mom's friend!" His mother was leaving Barra.

"Bus ... I'm not done talking!"

"But mom is sleepy, mom is going to sleep," her mother replied while continuing her footsteps.

"If you don't want to talk to me, then I won't help you pay off your one hundred million debt" Barra said.

"What debt? I don't have any other debts." His mother tried to dodge.

"Then tell me where Rania's car is?"

"I told you that car I was living in a repair shop for service. You don't believe in your own mother? Is that your wife trying to influence you? Look, Barra, I know she's pregnant, but don't spoil her too much. See right? ... Now he's making you fight mom?."

Barra tried to hold back her emotions. His mother is very smart to find excuses and always convoluted.

"It wasn't Rania who said it, Mom, it was Aunt Sandy. He came here and asked for his hundred million money back!!! So what did you use the money for?!! And where's Rania's car?!!" Barra started yelling at her mother.

This time his mother did not dare to answer.

"My answer is Mom!!!" Barra shouted back. Barra had never yelled at her mother.

"Barra, why are you yelling like that to your mother?" Her mother's eyes were glazed.

"Mom .. Just a few days ago I paid off my mother's debt of three hundred million. Now there's more coming and charging a hundred million. What's that money you use for?" barra asked with a suppressed voice.

"I am your mother Barra! Do you mind paying off your mother's debts? I've been taking care of you since childhood. Mother's debt is nothing compared to the cost of caring for you since childhood so you can make your own money!"

"Not that I mind Mom .. but that's not a little money. What did you use that money for? Even Rania's car until I made bail. Aren't you ashamed?" Barra's voice began to soften.

His mother did not answer. He only cried as if he was the one who got hurt here.

"We can talk well Mom, you don't have to dodge like that. If you need money, you can tell me. Do not use items at home to be used as collateral for mother's debt. Especially the Rania car. I already have my own car. So where's mom's car now?"

"There ... mother's car there kok same mother's friend. He's still here so he still needs that car. Later if you want to go back to the city, your car will be returned." His mother came back to make up stories.

"Mom didn't lie, did she?"

"You still don't believe your mother?! You're so outrageous Barra! You may suspect your own mother!!" His mother passed away leaving Barra in anger.

"Mother ... I'm not done talking!" barra shouted but her mother ignored her. Barra shouted to vent her frustration. Every time he talked to his mother, he ended up dead-end and his mother ran away. But Barra couldn't force her mother to be honest because she would definitely cry and consider him a brave child against parents.

Barra sat languidly on the sofa in the living room. He went back to daydreaming, I don't know what filled his mind.

"Marra ... " Sounds Rania's voice calling out to her.

Barra immediately stood up and looked for the source of Rania's voice. Apparently he was already standing at the end of the stairs.

"Ran ... Why did you wake up?"

"I heard your voice yelling earlier. I thought I was dreaming, and then I opened my eyes you were not there beside me. Why are you here?"

"I can't sleep. That's why I'm here. Already ... let's go back to the room."

Her morning...

But Barra did not answer. He was staring at himself in the mirror but his gaze looked blank.

"Marra ... You listening to me?"

"Eh .. yes ... What dear. What do you want to buy?"

"That's ... You didn't listen to me from earlier," Rania replied pouting.

"Yes ... Sorry I'm thinking about work so out of focus." Barra clasped her hands to Rania's slim waist while kissing her lips.

"Here you go, let's have breakfast."

"What did you say?"

"I want my car back. That's the point."

"Of course Mrs Danendra, your request must be granted" replied Barra as she kissed her lips again.

"Let's get down."

When he arrived at the dinner table his mother was not there yet.

"Mom didn't eat Bi's breakfast?" barra asked Bi Yani who was serving breakfast at the dinner table.

"I have called you sir. But I didn't answer, it looks like it's still sleeping."

"Yes already." Bi Yani nodded. He returned to the kitchen after that.

"His mother has come home?" ask Rania.

"Yes .. It was two in the morning."

"Where did you come home at that hour?" Rania was amazed.

"Eitherway. It's hard talking to mom. The answer is always going around in circles and there's always a reason."

"Maybe you need to figure out what mom's activities are outside of. It's already four hundred million Barra."

"You're right. Maybe I asked my mom's friends what she was doing outside."

"As long as you know Barra, my mother also often asked me for money. Even almost all the money you give is asked by mom." Finally Rania dared to tell Barra about this.

"Rone ... Are you serious?"

"Did I ever lie to you?"

Barra sighs. "I'm sorry. I'm so busy working I don't know anything about mom."

"Later to transfer again in exchange for the money that has been requested by the mother all this time."

"I don't mind it Barra. I just want you to know. I don't want you getting into more debt. You know right now there are a lot of scams, online gambling, badass investments or things that harm like that. I'm afraid mom got tangled in one of them. Not bad thoughts about mom. But it's possible. Mother's debt is quite a lot Barra. There must be a reason for what mom owes that much."

"You're right. I'll investigate." Barra spoke as she continued to chew her breakfast. "What are you going to buy?"

"Will you not be late?" ask Rania.

"It doesn't seem to."

"But I don't want anything right now. I'll tell you later that I want something."

Barra is done eating. "alright. I left first yes .. "the part while kissing Rania's forehead. "Don't be naughty in Mama's belly, son." Barra also put a kiss on Rania's stomach that has not been so visibly changed.
