Conscious After a Treasure Depleted

Highlighted

Seeing the situation in the house is very messy, Mr. Gunawan became bored and sometimes he was lazy to go home after teaching. But where is he going? Want to have fun also can not because all it takes money, while the finances are not okay anymore.

Soon Tini will close the exam and of course it will take a lot of money, then Irfan and Fajar will also pay the semester money to make Pak Gunawan dizzy seven rounds.

This afternoon he arrived home and was immediately greeted with a sullen face of his wife in front of the house. The wife usually welcomes the husband who comes home from work with a sweet smile but not for Mother Elis.

His face was grim because Mak Ela would no longer serve him to owe for the right reasons. Earlier, Mak Ela said that she had no more capital to play so she only loaned goods to customers with a limit of one million rupiah.

In the last month, Ms. Elis paid only half of her debt at the Mak Ela stall because the money was not enough.

"Don't you have any money?" she asked after her husband had parked the motorbike.

"Make what?" Gunawan asked back.

"Make vegetables and side dishes" said Ms. Elis.

"Didn't we agree from the beginning? Mother's kitchen business and school child fees are my business!" mr. Gunawan said firmly.

Elis' mother was silent because what her husband said was true. She grabs her phone and calls Zarina to borrow money but she deliberately goes back so she doesn't sound like her husband.

"Hello, what's up, Auntie?" zarina's voice from the phone.

"Why don't you ever go home?" ask Elis' mother.

"Sorry Auntie, when do I take the time because lately always overtime in the office" said Zarina.

"You have a mistress, don't you? Can borrow Rp 300,000 aja, later if Aunt payday, the money is immediately replaced," said Ibu Elis seriously.

"Sorry Aunt, but there is only Rp150,000 because recently my sister in the village also asked for money to pay for her school fees!"

"Well, that's it, send it to my account number now!"

After receiving evidence from Zarina that the money has been transferred, he went to the stall opposite Mak Ela to withdraw the money because there is BRI Link. He went shopping and went home.

Mak Ela, who saw Elis' mother, throws her mouth in annoyance. Turn has money, buy it at the shop next door but if you want to owe, Mak Ela stalls are the target. Mak Ela nagged at length.

Four days later Ibu Elis sent another chat to Zarina with the same goal of asking for money and Zarina also sent as much as Rp 200,000. Yesterday he received overtime pay of Rp 250,000.

Elis' mother always had a reason to ask Zarina for a loan and she was so happy that her father never let her down.

After the payday he was never willing to replace the money he had borrowed from Zarina. Actually he remembered but deliberately pretended to forget and entered the third week after payday he began again asking for loans to Zarina with the agreement that later all paid with the debt that was last the following month. That was how it was and Zarina always believed in the promise that her aunt said.

Six months later Zarina will no longer serve the request of Elis' mother in accordance with the advice of her best friend. Erni assures him that Elis' mother will definitely never return the money she has borrowed.

"Don't you trust Auntie again, why don't you lend us your money again?" elis's mother's voice over the phone.

"It's not so Auntie but recently I sent money to my father and mother because they also need it very much" Zarina said.

"But there's got to be the rest, right? There is no way that you send everything to your parents" exclaimed Elis' mother for not believing Zarina's words.

"Sorry Auntie, I don't have any more!" Zarina.

"Mighty spy, anyway!" gerutu Mother Elis. He immediately disconnected the phone.

Erni who was lying on the bed pointed her thumb at Zarina.

"Well, don't be too soft and always be okay! Remember, you're tired of making money and then they're happy to memorize you!" erni said firmly.

Zarina only realized that all this time her aunt had been blackmailing her. Erni's words had opened her heart's eyes. He also began to count the money he had given to Mother Elis whose size was almost three millions.

Now he promised to stop lending money to his aunt.
