Tonight Aurel told the truth to the neighbors who were thinking about his life in Malaysia, why he did not come home when his mother died.
Aurel recounts that she had been married by her own employer, and she had been deceived by the migrant scalper named Nando. However, Aurel somehow did not tell her how Arsen treated her back then.
It is not easy to convince others to believe the explanation, that the pros and cons will always be there, some of them believe there is also a charade.
Aurel says she is currently pregnant. And he also showed me his official marriage book. If they don't know then it will be thought that Aurel is lying.
In fact, in the marriage book, the civil record of the man is listed as an Indonesian citizen. The address also explained that the man lived in Jakarta.
They did not believe that Aurel had indeed gone to the land of the Neighbors, but nothing but to live in Jakarta with her husband, but why did she not come home when her mother died.
It's hard to explain to people who don't know the truth. So Aurel chose to be quiet enough and accepted all their accusations, which clearly the child she contained was not an attack of their slander, grateful that she had the marriage book.
Many doubted Aurel's explanation, but it was Aunt Ana who believed Aurel's statement. She was so grateful that there were still people who believed her.

A week passed after Aurel came home. The plan is this morning he will go to school to take his diploma and at the same time inquire about the scholarship he once got.
Upon arriving at school he immediately met his homeroom teacher for his diploma, and inquired about the scholarship from the school.
"Look Aurel, because we didn't get any certainty from you back then. So the school decided to give the scholarship to other outstanding students, so we from the school apologize for it!"
A little disappointed because he failed to get a medical scholarship. But Aurel remains optimistic, he will try to stay in college, although not this year, maybe next year can be implemented, which is important he must still try to save for his education costs later.
After school he stopped by the shopping center to buy his daily needs with the money he had, Yes, Aurel did not bring the 150 million Arsenes, but he accepted the gift of money that Arsen gave them the last time they spoke in the car.
Arsen gave Aurel the money in a brown envelope with the Indonesian currency. I don't know, it seems like the man has prepared everything carefully to equip his wife.
Although not so much yet, enough for him to last a few months in the future. Therefore, Aurel intends to find a job so that there is income.
Tonight Aurel sat in silence. All memories return in memory, from the good times with Mother to the bitter memories of being the contract wife of a cruel Man.
While still dissolved in the daydream Aurel felt something move smoothly in his stomach. Aurel responded to the movement.
Suddenly his heart felt full. Honestly since he rejected the presence of the fetus, only this time Aurel rubbed his stomach gently, his heart warmed up.
Aurel only realized that he only had the baby in his life, he should be grateful for the presence of the baby, because that baby will be the encouragement of his life.
"Darling, do not be afraid, Mother will always take care of you. Sorry son, if Mother ever refused your presence, but now Mother realizes you are the only one you have," he said, rubbing his stomach gently.
Feeling quite tired, Aurel finally decided to sleep by hugging her stomach which had started to bulge a little.

Tonight Arsen had just returned home from work after a few days of not showing his nose in the property company.
"Sir, is there any news from Aurel? Did he call Makcik?" The man asked, hoping that he would get a mobile number from his wife, Arsen had already given Aurel a cell phone but the woman refused to give it to him.
"Back, Master. Aunt has not been able to reach Miss Aurel's apapon" explained the old woman.
"Alright, if later he calls Makcik give me his phone number. I just want to have my wife's own phone number. I promise I won't disturb his composure" the man assured the Uncle that he won't scoop up Aurel.
"Baeklah, if ade kaba from Miss Aurel later Makcik to know said Tuan."
Arsen immediately went up and headed for the master room. Arriving at the room, Arsen immediately contacted his man to ask the news of the Wife and what activities Aurel did today.
"Tell me what information did you get today about my wife?"
Today Miss Aurel went to Master's school, to take her diploma and inquire about the scholarship that was once delayed."
"Keep... How'd it go?"
The school has given the scholarship to other students because Miss Aurel did not give certainty at that time.
"Urus everything is as I want it to be. Don't let him get suspicious!"
Well sir, I'll take care of it tomorrow.
Arsen hangs up the phone from his private espionage. The man stared at the picture of Aurel on the wall of his room.
"Darling, I promise to make amends. May you smile when your goals are achieved. Be my brave and tough woman! I always pray that you and our baby will always be given strength.
Arsen rubbed the picture gently and looked at that plain pretty face. Longing in his qalbunya. This farewell is painful.

This afternoon Aurel was still circling the streets of the lucky city to apply for a job, however, with her pregnant circumstances made people suspicious to accept her, of course they were afraid that Aurel could not be consistent in carrying out the task.
With gontai steps Aurel sat at a stop to let go and looked at the row of towering tall buildings. He accidentally saw the writing Accepting job vacancies, which are displayed in a Padang-branded restaurant (Bareh Solok)
The restaurant is side by side with a fairly large private hospital in the city. Without a second thought, Aurel immediately entered the restaurant to ask if they still needed employees.
Strongly convinced the manager of the Padang restaurant and finally he was accepted to work as a ramas rice packer. Fortunately, the woman learned a lot when she opened the breakfast stall, so Aurel was used to wrapping food with rice paper.
That day Aurel was also directly in training to see his level of ability in wrapping, at first glance it looks easy but in fact quite difficult, he said, although Aurel can already but there is still something that needs to be repaired so that it looks neater and not messy.
