HE'S MY HUSBAND TOO

The 117 LOST IT ALL

The barrel placed a tray on the table, thrusting a cup of tea for mother and Nalendra.

Drink the water first, Daddy," Ruby said. The little girl approached Nalendra and sat down beside him.

"Thank you, Ruby. Did Ruby make you a drink for Daddy?" tanyakanya.

"Not Ruby, Daddy, but Mama. Ruby help me get tea and sugar."

"Oh, diligent son," he said.

Nalendra started sipping tea, feeling warm and fresh in his throat.

"Thank you for the drink, Baras." He looked at his lover lovingly as he stood up.

"Mom, I'll say goodbye. There's still something I have to do" Nalendra said, looking at his watch.

"Kok Daddy's in a hurry anyway?" moaning Ruby.

"Tomorrow Daddy will come back here, and invite you to work as usual. We'll definitely see you again." Her hands stretched out rubbing Ruby's tiny head.

"Yes, Daddy." The little girl grabbed Nalendra's big hand and kissed him.

Ningsih stared at the nanar of the mansion which had been her pride all along. Her eyes were reddened by crying too much. He's been cheating on her all this time.

He didn't think it was over. At first he was sure he could live independently without Galang with the business. Though he guaranteed this house to the bank as initial capital for the jewelry business.

Ningsih who from the beginning likes to collect various models of jewelry tempted by the offer of Retno, one of his social friends who peddle jewelry at a very cheap price. He trusted his best friend very much and never thought to test the authenticity of the jewelry he had.

Because of his trust, he finally entrusted his money to Retno to be used as capital in the revenue sharing system. Retno promises Ningsih with the profit they will get every month. Ningsih had imagined the hundreds of millions of dollars that would be earned every month. With that money he can foot-barge and pay off installments in the bank.

Unfortunately, after getting a capital injection from Ningsih which amounted to billions of rupiah, Retno ran away and left a debt that must be repaid by Ningsih.

"I don't know what else to do Mira. Either way, we have to find Galang immediately. Only Galang can get us out of this trouble.

But Galang never came here again, Ma. He no longer cares about us after that incident" Mira said.

"Mama knows, but we have to find her. Mama doesn't want to starve to death in Jakarta."

"Wouldn't we just go home, Ma?" proposed Mira

"Go home, you say? Ningsih's voice suddenly shot up. "Mama doesn't want to go home. If we go home, everyone will mock and laugh at our defeat."

"Losing how did Mama mean?"

"Mira, did you forget, now Marni, Annisa, Ruby and Laras are all in Jakarta and living well? If we go home in a difficult situation, would you put where Mama's face?"

"But we have to be realistic, Ma. Difficult to live in the village, it is harder to live in Jakarta if you do not have a job" said Mira.

"We'll find Galang, Mira."

"Where are you looking, Ma?"

"Let's follow Mama. We're gonna follow Galang to his apartment."

The five people immediately moved out of the courtyard and the gate. Once again Ningsih looked at the mansion that now no longer belonged to her. The woman felt very sad. It flashed a bit of regret in his mind, because he was too greedy, exploiting the results of the efforts of his stepson.
