Elsa looked at Faqih who was now sleeping on her new bed.
Little by little Elsa bought new furniture for her house. Just a few days ago Elsa bought a mattress big enough to put in her room.
Elsa put her phone next to her ear. He was having a conversation with Rian.
He reported about Faqih who had a high fever until he was taken to the doctor. Luckily, Faqih's health condition is not a serious problem. Their only son was immediately allowed to go home that day.
"Where is his Faqih now, Sa?" Rian's voice greeted across there. "There really is no problem with Faqih's health, right?" tanyanya is still in doubt.
Elsa moved her phone to her ear. "The doctor says it's just a normal fever, Mas. He also gave medicine. Now Faqih is sleeping" replied Elsa. "Mas Rian wants to see Faqih? Let me turn on video calling mode."
"No, Sa," Rian. "It's already night. Faqih is sick anyway. Just let Faqih sleep, don't disturb."
Elsa just nodded. She followed all the words of her husband. "Yes already, Mas." Silent greet. Elsa didn't hear any sound. "Oh yes, Mas. What is Rian doing now? Already home from work?"
"Already" answered Rian. "Now I want to get ready to go outside to buy a side dish with the Judge" he added.
Elsa and Rian's conversation continues. Elsa openly talks about the money sent by Rian. Elsa told me that she had just bought a new bed, jewelry, while the rest of her money would be sowed.
"You just set the money, Sa. I believe in you. You will definitely use it wisely," Rian murmured on the phone.
"Oh yes, Mas" said Elsa. "For a long time you never talked about your work in Jakarta. If you may know, where do you and the judge work? Keep going, as what?" ask Elsa. Rian was silent at once, busy looking for answers.

"Hello? Hello, Sa? Whahuh? Your voice is not heard! Hello, Sa?"
Clik.
Rian quickly ended his relationship with Elsa. Rian then lowered his hand, putting the square object over his two thighs.
Aunt Maya follows into the living room to put a glass of water on the table for Rian. Rian grabbed a glass of water. Aunt Maya sits next to Rian, swaying spoiled to the side of Rian's arm.
"Call from whom? Your wife, honey?" Aunt Maya raised her face. "Why? He's asking for extra money?" tanyakanya.
"No, Auntie," answered Rian. "Elsa just called. But not to ask me for money. He told me that our son had a high fever."
"Have you been taken to the hospital?" Aunt Maya pulls herself away from Rian.
"It." Rian looked at it briefly. "But the doctor said there was no problem. Faqih is just a normal fever."
"Thank God, Rian ..." Aunt Maya leaned her head against Rian's arm.
"You don't have to go home to Judge's apartment tonight, do you? Aunt is very lonely. Aunty's housekeeper is still in the village. Just come home maybe next week, or the shabby."
"You can, Rian, don't fight that way!" Aunt Maya blushed shyly.
"Tante hasn't answered my question. Where are Auntie's kids?" ask Rian again. "This house is very big if only lived alone with the housekeeper alone."
"Aunty's kids live in her own house, honey. Because some of them are married, while the rest want to live independently by living alone in an apartment. So, yeah ... Aunt at home alone."
"Tante is often lonely dong?" chirp Rian.
"That was it. Now there is no more. There's you already" whispered Aunt Maya.
Behind the beauty of Aunt Maya at an age that is not young anymore, people know Aunt Maya as a kind person, polite, and loyal to her late husband. It is said that there are many men who want to propose Aunt Maya. But Aunt Maya refused, she always gave an alibi that she still loved her late husband. In fact, Aunt Maya was just busy looking for brondong here and there.
Aunt Maya is a woman full of tricks. In front of the people alone she looked good, building up an image that she was the most loyal woman to her husband who was gone.
"If I stay here a lot, doesn't it matter, Auntie? What if there's a Auntie's son looking. They would definitely not be happy to see me here ..."
Aunt Maya put both her hands on Rian's shoulders. "Don't worry about it, honey. They would not dare to disturb his mother's pleasure. Maybe they'll ban it at first. But once they know that Auntie is much happier to meet you, they will definitely thank you afterwards as much as you, Rian," Aunty Maya assures.

Elsa's savings at home have been collected quite a lot. Elsa was just gonna put the money in the closet. However, a few days ago there was a robbery incident in the next lampung, all property was taken by robbers. So Elsa takes advice from Mak Ratih to make her own account number.
"What are we going up to there, Mom?" tanya Elsa walked hand in hand with Mak Ratih.
"Fine rickshaw, Sa." Mak Ratih then added, "If we take public transport, we will wait too long."
Elsa once again agreed. The two women of different ages were walking towards the highway.
Elsa's appearance is now much different has attracted the attention of many people. Especially the neighbors. Elsa was scared. But the more you get here, Elsa's used to it.
"Well, where's Mak Ratih going?" In the middle of the road, Mak Ratih and Elsa cross paths. "You want to go for a walk, huh?" Gina glanced at the cynical Elsa. His gaze was directed at the golden necklace that was coiled around Elsa's neck.
At first Elsa refused to answer. He was afraid of being told by the woman. Remembering that he had once been vilified by Gina.
"This, Gin. Mak wants to take Elsa to make an account," replied Mak Ratih.
"Much money dong Elsa now!" sindir Gina's.
"Thank God, Gin. Rian is now working in the city. All the money he sent to Elsa. Nowadays do not put a lot of money at home. Afraid of a thief" murmured Mak Ratih. "Makanya Mak tell Elsa to make an account. Kan, it's safer."
Gina added ninyir. He could not believe that Rian was making a lot of money in the city. "How much, Mom? Want to take money people also see first, time. How could you possibly want to swing at Elsa's rickety house!"
