Patience of My Husband

Harris's Business

The POV Haris

This morning Umi and Abi again asked to be sent to the hospital to visit Firna. Umi wants to see the condition of Firna directly besides that umi also wants to see what kind of woman who always drives me crazy.

"Haris, after breakfast deliver umi and Abi to Firna" Umi said as she was just sitting in front of me. We were getting ready for breakfast at the dinner table.

"But umi..."

"What other reason would you give Haris?" Abi spoke firmly and cut my conversation.

"I'm sorry Haris Abi. Haris is still there need to be with his hariis friend, later after from his office, we go to the hospital" I can't say anything more when I see the look in the eyes of Umi who looks at me like intimidating.

Abi let out a long sigh hearing my reason this time. Not to lie to Abi and Umi but I still need to with Arka. In addition, Firna also still felt not ready to meet my parents. And I can't force it.

After breakfast, I say goodbye to Abi and Umi. I'm going to Arka's office. My intention is to go there because I want to sell my coffee garden from my grandmother. Actually I don't want to sell it but since I also need money for Firna's operating expenses, then with a heavy heart I have to sell it.

"There's something important about what made you come to see me Haris. If I may guess, it looks like you're in big trouble" Arka tried to guess what's on my mind.

"Ah you've always been pretentious" Cibirku.

"Hahaha. I know you it's not for a moment hariis, did you forget during the boarding school we were always together. Start first grade in Elementary School until you graduate High School, so it's not unusual anymore if I know what's going on with you. You lie I know. Really no?" What Arka said is true.

Growing up and growing together there's no way he didn't know my character. So do I, just that I'm not as smart as him.

"You're right Arka, I'm having some financial problems. I need money for Firna's operation. I intend to sell my grandmother's coffee garden. But I was confused where to sell in a short time. Last night, I just remembered that you also run the garden. Therefore I want to sell the garden to you" Paparku to Arka. No longer want to cover up this heartache.

"Hmm, is it not a pity if the garden is sold. It's your grandmother's legacy"

"Actually I'm very hard-hearted to sell it, but how else. I have to get some money in quick time"

"Isn't my wife and Alda willing to help with hospital costs? Why did you reject him?" Arka asked me a question that I thought was ridiculous.

"If I accept the help of your wife and Alda, then where is my pride? I think you understand what I mean" I said. Then Arka smiled at me.

"This is what I like about you. You are a responsible man"

"I know that" I said with a faint smile "So how are you willing to buy my coffee garden?" I asked again, because I no longer know where to sell the garden, even if to others it must be priced far below the market, considering the owner is in desperate need of money.

"If I buy it, you have nothing left, what will you give your grandchildren?" I glanced at Arka, did she forget that I married Firna already could not have children.

"You don't have to think about it, because I never thought about it myself. All I think about is Firna's recovery, and the life of tomorrow that I'll go through with her" I said firmly.

"Oh sorry Haris, I forgot that..."

"What price do you want to sell for?"

"According to the people there, the market price is about four hundred million, but I won't sell at that price to you. Please if you want to offer it, the price of friends but do not be too deadly" said my speech which was greeted with laughter by Arka.

"But I have to negotiate first with my wife and my in-laws. I can't take decisions on the side, let alone this is about money that is not small" Right said Arka, everything must be considered, everything must be considered, because this concerns buying and selling is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

"But if they disagree how? I need money to pay for the hospital. "

"You take it easy on that. I have a stash you can wear first. You can return it if you already have money"

"No need Arka, I don't want to owe you anything"

"Who says you owe me, you owe me money not in the mind." Arka chuckled

"You're just kidding"

"I'm serious Haris, just use my money first. You don't think of me as someone else. Let's just say I'm a shadow that follows you wherever you go."

"What about your wife? Are you going to say that I borrowed money from you, and I refused help from him"

"I must have told my wife, I don't want anything covered up. But later I will explain why you refused help from him. You take it easy"

"Alright, it's up to you" I got up and wanted to go to the hospital. "If so I say yes first"

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go straight to the hospital, because Abi same Umi kekeh asked to meet with Firna"

"Good dong. Then I'll come with you. My wife is there to accompany Firna." Arka also rose from her handsome chair.

Arriving at the hospital how surprised I was to see a sight that I had never seen at all, it turned out that Umi and Abi were already there talking to Firna.

"Assalamualaikum "I also said hello before stepping foot inside.

"Abi, umi? how come it's here?" I asked then I also greeted my parents with reverence. While Arka approached his wife who was a little away from Umi.

"Wait for you later. So umi same Abi came here directly, mumpung at home also no guests. Earlier this morning, Umi also told me to take her to the hospital. But you said you wanted to go to your friend's office" Umi looked annoyed at me. It turns out that Umi has not realized the presence of Arka who came with me.

Arka approached and greeted my parents. When they realized they were so astonished to see the presence of Arka with a much different appearance from the old Arka.

Arka used to always look like she was different from now who wears a black suit and shiny shoes, her hair neatly arranged, her skin also looks clean. It looks like the difference. Umi and Abi just gawked when they saw it. Even Umi unceasingly praised Arka's appearance.
