Divorced for Poor

Chapter 6. Debt again

Mommy…"

Desta's daydreams fell apart instantly, hearing a call from Lilis.

"What's wrong?"

"Mas, I made you some coffee. There's a dining table."

"I didn't say I had breakfast. Even this is made coffee, where there is time to relax, while drinking coffee," said Desta upset.

"But I already made it for Desta. If you are not drinking, mas. Lilis belain buy sugar even if it is expensive for Desta's mass," said Lilis pleaded.

"If you're afraid of redundancy, you drink alone."

"Lilis is pregnant, mother."

"Pregnant can also drink coffee."

"But Lilis did not want to bear the risk because of caffeine, mas. Not good for the fetus."

"Yes already. I'll have a drink before I go."

Lilis stepped away after hearing Desta's reply that was as she wished. Lilis does not want, what has been made will be free or redundant. All he bought used money that had to save a high level.

Lilis this time can still smile, because there will be a division of sacrificial meat so that it will reduce the cost of buying side dishes for several days.

Suddenly his steps stopped, when he saw Desta walking to the side of the house. Lilis follows her husband as she becomes suspicious of Desta's behavior. It turns out that Desta threw away the coffee that Lilis made.

For some reason, when he saw Desta throw away the coffee, Lilis' heart ached. I want it to feel like Lilis yelled and asked her husband why he threw away the coffee he made, when he said he would drink it. But he didn't want any more fights this morning.

There was a feeling of being lied to which again disturbed his heart. Little lies began to resurface after his lies were exposed about his unemployment status. Lilis becomes frightened if it turns out that her husband is still harboring another lie that she does not know.

Not noticeably, her tears were dripping down the corner of her beautiful eyes. Lilis walked towards the living room to just make Desta shocked when she returned. Sure enough, when Desta was about to enter to return the used coffee cup he threw away, Desta was shocked to see Lilis in the living room.

"Darling, what are you doing?"

"Of course it's waiting for you, Mrs Desta."

Desta hid the cup to the back of his body while smiling.

"What's wrong? I'll go back first."

Lilis let out a long sigh seeing her husband look nervous. Lilis was not very familiar with the true nature of Desta. So whatever happens, Lilis must face it without having to complain to anyone including her mother.

Not long after, Desta came and stood in front of Lilis without any intention of sitting down.

"What's wrong? Saying now. I have to go again soon."

"Tomorrow, Desta can accompany me to go to the obstetrician right?"

"Tomorrow? I guess I can't. I have a meeting that cannot be canceled. You don't get spoiled, go the same mom can."

"But, um…"

"There is no buts. Remember, I work to make money for our children later. Dah, I'm going first."

Lilis felt very disappointed with Desta's answer who did not care about the condition of her pregnancy. However, if with this could make Desta change, Lilis would try to accept all her husband's decisions patiently.

Lilis kissed her husband's hand while offering prayers in her heart, so that her husband's efforts run smoothly and get the results as expected. Lilis stared at her husband's departure with a hopeful gaze that one day her husband would become a successful businessman.

This day, Lilis thought hard. The money given by her husband was only a few thousand. If he wanted to go to the gynecologist, the money would not be enough. Because the cost of specialist doctors today is not cheap.

Go Lilis to her friend's house to borrow money. It was actually a shame for Lilis to borrow money from her best friend as well. He has often troubled his best friend since marrying Desta is certainly a matter of money.

"Sri, sorry. When I arrive, I want to pinjem again to go to the doctor," said Lilis hesitated.

"Lilis, you don't have to hesitate if you want to pinjem money. In the past, when I was difficult, you always gave me money. I don't even need to return it. How much do you need? I can't help you much."

"Enough to go to a specialist. I'll give it back later, if I have the money."

"But if I go to a specialist I don't have a kayak. There's only 100 grand. How'this?" sri was confused.

Lilis was stunned for a moment. 100 Thousand dollars will not be enough to see an obstetrician.

"Yes, Sri. It's nothing like that. I'll just go to the midwife, which costs less."

"I'm sorry, Lis" said Sri sadly seeing Lilis unable to go to the doctor.

"You've been very kind to me, Sri. Don't apologize."

Sri hugged Lilis and tried to transmit her spirit to Lilis.

After coming from Sri's house, Lilis remembered that the rice in the house had run out. He immediately stopped by the stall to buy rice. Fortunately, Lilis still had time to remember to buy rice, otherwise, they would eat what later in the afternoon.

"What do you want to buy, Lis?" ask the shop owner.

"Rice 2 liters, Ma'am As."

"But this time pay up Lis? Ma'am Lis still has 2 liters of rice debt, you know."

"Yes, Mom. This one Lilis will pay. Sorry ma'am, later if Lilis has any money, I'll definitely pay."

Lilis smiled bitterly at seeing her life go back in time before Lilis was working. Even now it is even more difficult because he has to owe here and there to be able to meet the needs of his life.

All the way home, Lilis was unceasingly thinking. Will his life continue like this? Borrow it here and I don't know when he can pay off all this debt. Relying on the efforts of her husband who until now still have no results.

The age of their marriage is still relatively new, is it appropriate if Lilis is to be firm in asking for a living and forcing her husband to live it properly? She knew her husband was just starting out. There will be a big fight at his house. I don't know what will happen next.

Imagining the quarrel, Lilis' body began to shudder. Horrified…

The day began to change at night.

Dinner was prepared by Lilis at the dinner table. Lilis waits for Desta to come home for dinner together. Although Bu Siti asked Lilis to eat first, so that the baby in the womb is not hungry, Lilis still did not want to eat first.

The wall clock is showing at 8 p.m. The sound of Desta's motorbike was already heard stopping in front of the house. Lilis rushed to open the door and welcomed Desta's arrival with a smile and hand salim.

Desta immediately put the motor into the house and intended to take a shower. Lilis let her husband take a bath and change clothes. Lilis waited while heating the food. But what was awaited was already lying in the room.

"Mas, don't eat first? I've prepared the meal at the table" asked Lilis at the door of her room.

"No, I ate outside. Next time, you won't have to prepare dinner for me" replied Desta flatly.

Desta certainly knew, what kind of food Lilis prepared. Surely white rice as well as the side dishes know that not tempe fried. So she must always eat out with Mary or eat at Mary's house.
