Divorced for Poor

Chapters 12. Not the responsibility of friends

By morning, Desta had not arrived. Long wait for Lilis, after yesterday's fight. No matter how angry he is, he should still know the condition of his wife especially in an old pregnancy. But not for Desta, all could not beat his high ego.

The ego of a Desta who does not want to be denied. Especially in criticism about his attitude and nature are arrogant and do not care about what does not make him happy.

Lilis endured her grief and tears when Wendi came to take care of Lilis' return. Why isn't her husband coming to take care of everything? This is not the responsibility of his friend. Lilis never asked Wendi to pay attention to herself and her baby. But Wendi says if this is the soul of her humanity, it is not because she loves Lilis.

Despite Wendi's love for Lilis, Lilis is still Wendi's neighbor and playmate who Wendi must help when in distress.

Since marriage, the friendship between Wendi and Lilis has been cut off and they keep their distance from each other. Because they understand each other's position. Lilis has Desta guarding her.

But since Wendi knew, Lilis had a lot of difficulties after marriage, Wendi began to present again as a friend. Although Dimata people, Wendi is considered the third person in the marriage of Lilis and Desta.

The latest rumors spread quickly, that there is a special relationship between Lilis and Wendi spread by Wiwik. It is also said that the child in the womb Lilis is not the child of Desta, but the child of Wendi.

Gossip, the more rubbed the more sip. That's what happened after the birth of Lilis' child. The rumors are getting more widespread and uncontrollable. Moreover, Wendi is currently accompanying Lilis during childbirth. Even the cost of the hospital, Wendi who paid it even though it was considered a debt by Lilis.

For Wendi, he was not at all concerned with all the gossip that spread like a coronavirus. Because for him, helping Lilis was something he had to do. As long as he did not break the norms and rules, Wendi would still help him.

Lilis still remembers, the plan of the delivery fee will be paid by selling his motorbike. Unfortunately, the Lilis motorbike has been leased, so Lilis does not have a spare that can be sold to pay for labor costs.

The only treasure left was a house they currently occupied. So it was impossible for Lilis to sell the house, because the residence was very important to them. Even if, if they could not eat, they would still maintain their residence that had many memories.

Lilis is allowed to return home after she starts recovering and all the fees are paid by Wendi. Although at first Lilis refused, in the end she agreed after Wendi said that all of Lilis's labor costs would be Lilis' debt to be paid if Lilis already had the money.

When Lilis went to the bathroom, Ms. Siti and Wendi had a casual chat.

"Thank you, son Wendi. If it wasn't for Wendi, Lilis wouldn't be able to go home today" Ms. Siti said with a smile.

"No need to thank you, Mom. Wendi can only help as much as she can."

"Son Wendi, the cost of this hospital, maybe it will be a long time we can pay it off. You know for yourself how our lives are now."

"It's okay, Mom. After all, Wendi did not want the money to be returned, but Lilis insisted on considering it a debt. Wendi could not resist Lilis's wishes. Or he wouldn't be willing to accept help from Wendi."

"You're a good man. Even though Lilis has already rejected you, you still want to help her. Looking at Lilis current state, mother was very concerned. Her husband, unreliable. If he had been married to Wendi's son, it might have been something else."

"Mom, what did you say? Lilis may have chosen the wrong husband. But Lilis loves Desta's mas. Whatever happened to Lilis' life, it was Lilis' choice," Lilis' voice sounded somewhat disappointed with her mother.

Lilis came out of the bathroom and heard her mother say to Wendi. Indeed, Desta was an irresponsible and unreliable man. But right now, Desta was her husband, whom she had to keep her flaws in front of others.

"I'm sorry mom, Lis. Mother is only carried away by emotions when talking about your husband," said Bu Siti with a sigh.

"Lilis is sorry, too, ma'am. Lilis didn't mean to be rude to you. Lilis just didn't want to, seeing mom come to denounce Lilis' husband like the others."

"I'm sorry too, Lis."

"Wendi, I'm so grateful to you. Today you lent me money, so I can go home soon. If it takes too long here, the cost will increase even more."

"Aren't you waiting for your in-laws to come? Yesterday he said they would come again" said Ms. Siti.

"No need, Mom. Lilis did not want to trouble them anymore. Mas Desta has often troubled them, when I have to add to their burdens as well."

"As far as you are, Lis, how good. All the stuff I put in the bag."

"Let Wendi carry things to the car."

Wendi immediately took the 2 bags that were on the floor and carried them to the car.

"Thank you, Son Wendi. Lis, in a moment, your baby will be brought here by the nurse. While waiting, you rest for a while."

"Yes, Mom."

Lilis waited for the presence of the baby while sitting casually on the patient's bed. Lilis tried to call back her husband's phone. Lilis' heart was very disappointed, because her husband's phone was still inactive. If because the battery runs out, of course it is now active again.

Bad thoughts came to Lilis. Her husband was so angry with her, when he should have been the one who was angry with her. Desta is guilty of lying to Lilis, but Desta is angry with Lilis. Lillis could not think clearly. He did not know how their marriage would be.

The lies and lies that Desta has been doing since marriage, are the bad foundation of their marriage. Lilis let out a heavy sigh and she had to think more clearly later, in order to decide to continue their marriage or stop because Lilis could no longer hold on.

Lilis' reverie came to a standstill when the nurse came with the baby. Lilis immediately held her little daughter while looking at her daughter.

"Lis, let's go home soon. Let me hold your son. You walk slowly."

Lilis handed her son over to her mother. They walked slowly towards Wendi's car which was ready to go home.

On the way home, Lilis was silent. Wendi did not dare to say much. Only occasionally did Bu Siti sound muttering in praise of her granddaughter's beauty. The grandson who made her very happy after all this time was only the sadness felt after Lilis got married.

Bu Siti occasionally glanced at Wendi, her male choice for Lilis. He did not think, after being rejected by Lilis, until now, he did not want to get married. In fact, he refused the matchmaking of his parents.

Maybe Wendi still loves
