Lilis was speechless at Desta's reply, which seemed to disrespect her efforts to please her husband. Slowly he went out of the room to the dining table, which was all still intact. Food that has not been touched by anyone including by Lilis and her mother.
Ms. Siti saw Lilis sad, also felt sad. She also felt the suffering of her pregnant daughter, who should have received the full attention and affection of her husband.
"Lis, let's eat now. Don't let this food get cold again."
"I'm sorry Lilis, Mom. Because of Lilis, the mother until the new night eats," Lilis said slowly.
"It's okay, Lis. Next time, remember the same baby in your womb, who needs food. Don't wait until the result, he won't eat."
"Yes, Mom. Though already Lilis bela-belain owed to be able to eat."
"Mother was afraid, if you mostly owe, your husband did not want to help pay, then you will pay him what? Indeed, owed to eat a family, but the year is your husband, you have been given money to spend even if not enough for a month," Ms. Siti expressed her anxiety.
Lilis understood her mother's intentions, she mustn't owe her neighbors and friends too much, or new problems will arise between her and her husband.
Eventually Lilis stopped going into debt and tried to be more economical. The cost to the doctor changes so check with the midwife. And there are many other things that if it can be saved again, Lilis will certainly do.
The age of Lilis has entered the 8th month. Lilis's struggle with this state of affairs, greatly exhausted her. Tired of heart and tired of mind. Until she could not bear it anymore to not ask money from her husband directly.
"Mas, ask for some shopping money. All the necessities are almost gone. The installment of our motorbike is finished, so klo can, Lilis asked for more."
"Darling, my efforts have not yet achieved meaningful results. The capital still has to turn again. I can't give much. As always, you don't mind, do you?" said Desta gently.
"Yes, mas. Lilis understood, Lilis would not ask for more if indeed Desta's efforts had not gone well."
"Beloved, for your understanding."
"Mas, Lilis would be honest with Desta.
Lilis is in debt with some neighbors, about when the business is successful and we can pay the debt."
"What, debt?! You know how the hell, he said he can chatter who shop anyway can still owe the same neighbor. No, I don't want to interfere with your debt."
"Mas, but the money is to buy the necessities of our lives, mas."
"But you also do not ask permission first when you want to owe. So your debt, you take it upon yourself."
"I thought, if Desta's business was successful, Desta would give me more money to pay the debt" Lilis said almost in tears.
"I told you, the money I gave you for a month. If you still owe, it's you who can't make money. You wasteful woman. Not good at skimping."
After saying so, Desta immediately left without caring about Lilis who was still silent to hear the words of her husband that she had never expected before.
Lilis was already unable to hold back her tears, although there was no sound of sobs coming from her mouth. Lilis is guilty, has been in debt without permission. But at least, Desta understood his position with the spending money that Desta gave. In fact, such money will not be enough to meet the needs of the three of them.
Now, he is referred to as a wife who can not manage the money shopping, a wife who is wasteful and not good at frugality. It hurts. If Lilis was not currently pregnant, there was no way she would have received all her husband's treatment.
The more Lilis tried to accept and understand her husband's circumstances, the more her heart ached. Desta hasn't changed and I don't know when he'll be able to change.
Lilis was even more devastated, when she found out that her mother, it turned out to start looking for used goods again to sell. Lilis was in shock and she suddenly fainted when she met her mother on the street.
Lady Siti, yelling calling her daughter's name. It just so happened that Wendi was passing by at that place. Wendi panicked to see Lilis pass out on the street. He immediately took Lilis to a nearby hospital.
According to doctors, Lilis is too much pressure and less rest. The condition of his body weakened because from the morning it turned out he had not eaten. Actually, the doctor suggested for hospitalization. However, Lilis refused on the grounds that her body was better and could go home soon.
"Lilis, stay at the hospital for one day. I'll talk to your husband later if you choose" Wendi said.
"Truely said Nak Wendi, Lis," said Ms. Siti.
"Well, if you want that. I'll take care of it so you can get home soon."
"Thank you, son Wendi."
"Thank you, Wendi."
Wendi rushes to take care of the cost and treatment of Lilis and after that she immediately helps Lilis go home.
"Wendi, give me a note of the cost of treatment. If I had the money later, I would have replaced it" Lilis said as Wendi started the car.
"No need, Lis. The cost is not much. If you have money, you can use it for others. Aren't we friends?"
"Friends, even if we're friends, debt is debt, Wen."
"Here you go, I just give it up. You're winning. Here, keep it good."
Wendi handed Lilis treatment fee note with a smile. Maybe it's better for their relationship. The moment Lilis saw this note, she would be reminded of Wendi. When else can Wendi remember Lilis. After marrying their relationship, it's not like it used to be.
"Why smile Wen?"
"No, I just remember when you were a kid, you were so stubborn, like now."
Lilis looked silent at Wendi's words. Wendi was finally silent and immediately started his car.
"Don't forget to wear your seat belt. Be careful with your content," Wendi reminded Lilis.
Lilis immediately put on her seatbelt carefully. While Bu Siti just kept quiet to see Lilis and Wendi talking and seemed awkward between the two.
After reaching home, Lilis went down slowly followed by Siti bu who then helped her down.
"Thank you, son Wendi."
"Together Miss Siti. Don't hesitate, if you need help, just call Wendi. I want to go home first" Wendi said before leaving.
Lilis and Ms. Siti stepped in, and they sat in the living room.
"Lis, you shouldn't rest in your room."
"Mother, there's something Lilis wants to ask mom."
"Say, I will answer it."
"Why are you doing that job again? I'm old, Lilis doesn't want you to get sick."
"Mother just wants to help you, even if it's just a little, still be able to add to the shopping money."
"Mother.forgive Lilis. At the age of the mother, the mother should be able to live comfortably. I'm sorry, Lilis can't make you happy."
Lady Siti hugged Lilis who was crying. Trying to calm the heart of the princess who had been injured.
"Already, son. Mom is okay. I hope one day I can see you laughing and living a happy life. Then you will live happily too."
