A Reply to My Husband

Dia

A week has passed, a week's stay for Barra to raise money to pay off her mother's debt. Neither the cost-boss nor the rented house has anyone interested in buying it. It felt like Barra's head was about to break thinking about where to get the money from. He tried to talk to the loan shark to give them time but they refused.

Barra looks agitated. The look on his face was already unlike yesterday - a handsome and charismatic one, changing into a tangled and depressed face. Rania pity to see her husband pontang-panting alone. If she could, she would love to help her husband but how?

The house bell rings. First only the sound of the bell, but the second bell sound is accompanied by pounding and shouting.

"V ...!!! Wins ...!!! Get out!!!"

You can guess who came. No one dared to open the door but Barra. Inevitably Barra also opened the door immediately before their screams became more and more so.

"God ... You're Widia's son. I'm just here to give you a final warning. Next week if you still haven't paid off your debt, then please leave this house before I expel! And that pretentious mother of yours I'm gonna put in jail!" said a man as soon as the door opened. The same person that time came again, the debt collector that time.

"I'll do it!" barra replied firmly even though her heart was confused how.

"Good then! Widia should immediately return my money when I still give some leeway first. But he's too petty of me! Now he must accept the consequences!" That person turned around followed by a few people behind him, probably his subordinates.

Barra's getting frustrated. He slammed the door hard to vent the deadlock of his mind. He even forgot that there was another problem that was also waiting for a solution from him, Hanna.

Barra was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"How's Barra? What did they say?" There was the voice of his mother who had dared to come out after hiding in her room.

"The man gave a final warning. Next week we have to get out of this house if we can't afford it yet. They will also put mom in jail," Barra replied accompanied by ****** in desperation.

His mother, who was sitting next to him, looked agitated.

"Why is this so, Mom? Did you think no further before you acted? Now if you're sorry, we can't do anything."

Barra took a deep breath.

"I've offered the assets of my colleagues' father's legacy but no one has been interested. I've also been advertising online for cheap but it's still hard."

"So we should how about Barra? I don't want to be in jail" her mother replied.

"I only have a few hundred million in my account. That's not even how much to pay off my mother's debt."

"Mom better sell everything I have. Jewelry and bags that are expensive mother's price is selling only, also mother's car. I can't sell my car because I need it to work."

"Emc ... I ... Actually .... Mom sold mom's car" said her mother nervously.

"What???"

"When mom said mom's car was borrowed by mom's friend, it's .. I'm actually selling it instead of loaning it."

"Then the money you use for gambling? Or having fun with that mother's mistress?!!!" Barra rubbed her face rough. His chest rumbled uncharacteristically to hold back his emotions towards his mother. There were no more words he could use to express what he was feeling right now towards his mother.

"Hhhhhhhh .... !!!" Barra shouted furiously to vent her frustration to her mother.

Rania who was basking in the morning sun in the back garden heard Barra's screams of wonder why she screamed like that. Soon he walked towards the room where Barra was.

"Barra .. Why are you?" ask Rania. He glanced at his nervous looking in-law beside Barra.

"Let's go outside for some fresh air. Let your mind relax more" Rania asked. The aura of stress clearly visible on Barra's face made her concerned over what befell her husband.

They both sat there. Barra's face still looks tangled even though his emotions have subsided.

"If only I could help you out of this matter .." murmured Rania.

Barra sighed softly. "It's not your fault, Rania. You don't have to think that far. It's purely a mother's fault. Why are you getting into this?" then he scrunched his head that felt heavy.

Unbeknownst to Rania and Barra, her mother also leaves the house after their departure.

Next day...

Barra is getting ready to go to work. While Rania was in the kitchen preparing breakfast and her in-laws behind the house taking care of the laundry. Now they work together to do homework even though with very minimal communication. Barra had already laid off Bi Yani and Imah because he had to save on expenses.

Barra repeatedly apologizes to Rania for making her have to do homework again, but Rania does not mind her.

Barra's mother also dared not argue when Barra asked her to help Rania take care of the house. Barra doesn't let him do everything on his own like he used to.

The doorbell rings.

"Rania ... open the door, someone rang the bell," cried her in-laws from behind the house. Apparently the old habit of his father-in-law to rule him is still not lost even though the conditions are different.

Lazily Rania followed her in-laws. He walked towards the front door, but earlier he peeked through the window who was coming. After she found out that she was not a debt collector, then Rania dared to open the door.

A beautiful girl was standing in front of him. His appearance was classy with expensive items stuck to his body. At first glance it seemed like this woman was a little younger than him.

Rania's eyes stopped when she saw the abdomen of a sharp woman who was a little more contained, when compared to her slim body. Rania thought the woman was just like her, pregnant young.

"Who's daughter? What's the need?" ask Rania.

The woman smiled even when forced.

"I'm looking for Barra."

"I'm sorry, what's it gonna take so early to find my husband? I'm sure you're not his office friend."

The woman laughed at Rania's question.

"You better call him right away. Let him explain what's going on."

"Allah ... Please come in." Rania let the woman in. He also politely allowed the woman to sit down.

"If you can tell, whose name are you? Let me tell my husband more easily if anyone is looking for him."

"Hanna ... My name is Hanna .." replied the woman casually.

Rania tried to remember the name. It seems he's heard his name. While walking towards her room to call Barra, she tried to remember who Hanna was.

The deg!

Just as she was about to open the door of the room, she remembered who Hanna was.

She ... ???
