Is he Malik's wife?


Rania softened a little thinking about that possibility. He looked at the pregnant woman again.


Malik said he wasn't married. Or is it just her mouth so I can continue with her?


"Sir, please calm down ... We can talk good. Sit down," Barra's delicate pinta.


The woman complied with Barra's request. He sat quietly even though the look of anger and hatred was still clearly visible in his eyes.


"Who's this boy here looking for? What's the need?" barra.


"Widia!!! I'm looking for Widia!!! Her name is Widia?!!" replied the woman sniffled while glancing towards Rania.


Rania and Barra's eyes looked at each other.


"Are you not wrong?" ask Barra.


At the same time Rania's in-laws came from behind while nagging indistinctly.


"What the hell is this so stormy? I am going to sleep!! Can't not disturb. If you want to make a fuss, don't be in this house!" shouted Rania's in-laws.


"Mhrs ... This is my wife Rania. And that's Widia, my mother. Are you sure that's the Widia you're looking for? Please make sure you are not wrong before acting rashly like before" said Barra.


"What's? That's Widia?!" The woman did not believe. "No way! I can't possibly be wrong." He looked at Widia from head to toe with a difficult to interpret gaze.


"Mother ... Do you know this woman?" barra asked her mother.


His mother looked gawking. "Who is he?"


"Are you guys serious? Her name is Widia?!" ask the woman again. "So my husband cheated on me with grandma?!" said the woman resigned while continuing to look at her mother Barra.


"Hey .. Keep your mouth female!" rania's in-laws did not accept.


"Widia is my mother. And that's the guy. Maybe the guy was wrong. There's no way my mother's in a relationship with your husband."


"I feel like I lost my pride in having to compete with my grandmothers!" said the woman with bitter laughter. "When I know like this, I'd rather step back and uphold my pride than lose out on competing with a woman who's much older than me." The woman spoke to herself.


"What do you mean, my husband is related to my mother?" ask Barra again.


The woman nodded. "I can't possibly be wrong. My friend said, my husband's girlfriend's name is Widia. And for two nights I followed my husband, his car always stopped in front of this house. Then a woman came down and entered the house. Last night my husband didn't come home, so I came here because I thought my husband might be here. I've rang the bell but no one's opening the door."


"So last night you rang the bell?" ask Rania.


"Mother ... Is this woman really saying? You have a relationship with your husband?" barra asked firmly.


"Oh ... So you're Deni's wife? It's good that you know!" replied Rania's in-laws indifferently.


"Mother!!! What does mother mean?So what women say is true? Is she related to her husband?!" barra asked in disbelief.


"I told Barra, you don't have to interfere with my personal affairs!" snapped Mother.


"The old woman does not know herself! You better remember the age of the attached grandmother! Aren't you ashamed? My husband might even be the same age as your son!" the woman pointed at Barra.


"Who do you think is financing your life and your husband? Where did your husband get the money to buy the bags and clothes you wanted? How could he have the money to buy you a car? That's all my money!!!"


"Hah .. impossible!!! My husband can't be like that. My husband is a businessman. She couldn't possibly want to be a mistress of a grandmother!"


"Your business said? What businessman?! He's just unemployed! All this time he's been living off me!"


Hearing this debate Barra and Rania like getting a little explanation why his mother had a lot of debt.


"Your husband is an irresponsible man! Look now that I owe him a lot he's just running away!!"


"Sorry, once again I'm sorry. I thought you were Widia, so I just attacked you without explanation. Once again I'm sorry," said the woman sincerely to Rania regardless of Widia who was still clamoring indistinctly to him.


"I'd better go now .. excuse me.." said the woman, nodding her head to Rania and Barra.


"Mbak .. wait a minute. Please explain to us first." Barra tried to prevent the woman from leaving.


"Sorry, once again sorry. I won't bring it up again. I'd rather lose my husband than lose my self-esteem!" The woman passed from before Barra and Rania without being prevented.


"Let the woman go! Just disturb the sleeping people!!" Widia was about to walk back to her room.


"Wait Mom!! We need to talk!"


"Speak what the hell? Later, I want to sleep!!"

Barra and Rania sit on a bench in a park. They just went to see Ms. Sandy to find out information about their mother.


As they had expected earlier, the pregnant woman who came to their house this morning did not lie. Their mother was in a relationship with the woman's husband. Not only that, his mother also financed the life of the man and his wife without the knowledge of the wife. He obeyed all his wishes.


Still according to Ms. Sandy, her mother met the man at a gambling place. Then they get into a relationship, even when her mother finds out the man is married, she continues their relationship. The man was gambling crazy, and so was Barra's mother. Not infrequently they go back to Singapore in a day just to play gambling. So in addition to "maintaining" his beloved, maybe his mother has a lot of debt for losing gambling.


Barra breathed a rough breath.


"How can you be in a relationship with a man who is much younger than you? He's only the same age as me, his son! I'm so ashamed!" Barra lowered her head.


Rania who was sitting next to him could only shut up. He faithfully accompanied Barra to find out everything about his mother's behavior outside the house. He himself wondered how could his in-laws be like that.


"Continue the debt? How can I pay it off. Even by selling the house and everything I own, the debt can't be paid off."


Barra's getting frustrated.


"I'm sorry Ran ... I haven't been able to redeem your car from Ms. Sandy. I have to raise money so that our house won't be confiscated."


"You know for yourself, I can't talk to you very well and explain everything."


Rania looked at her husband.


Miris once, you threatened I would be divorced without property if not pregnant within a month. Now you are in danger of losing your home if you cannot pay the debt within a month.
