The Third Party

35. Money is Unexpected

Especially this?!

"This is the insurance money. The company took care of it. Emma's mother just accepted it. But this one needs an autograph from Emma's mother."

The guy took the file out of his bag.

"Please sign here." The guy showed me where to sign while thrusting the pen to me.

I really can't believe it until I can't speak anymore.

"Mother Emma's okay?" asked the man because he saw me silent for a long time.

"It's not a scam, is it?" my many. Once again I have to convince myself that this is not a scam or something that will be long-tail.

The guy smiled.

"If Emma's mother isn't sure, please read the file before signing."

"Oh .. yes." I'm nodding.

Then I read the file carefully. Even until I repeat, there should be no missed points. And I finally believe it's not a scam. I put my autograph there. And after everything was done, the two men paid off.

I stared at the envelope after the two men left. I never thought there would be an envelope like this. I thought Handi's company wouldn't care, but I was wrong. Debt Payable by the director himself, the compensation from his own company, the insurance money of his own accident. I still can't believe this.

I opened the envelope and I counted again. Finished counting my hands shaking by myself. That's almost a hundred million. It's the most money I've ever held in my entire life, just imagine it never.

"It's not a scam, is it?" I laughed at my question. Where is there fraud in the form of giving money? Scams usually ask for some money, but this instead gives money.

"Basic fool!" I cursed myself.

I sorted out the money and put it back in their envelopes. What should I do with this money? I use it to open a business? Or saved for Damar needs? Or am I using it to pay for the house? If only there was a Handi I could talk to. Suddenly my eyes glazed over. There was a shiver enveloping my feelings. This money will not replace the emptiness of my heart after the departure of Handi.

I almost went back to remembering Handi, but the sound of knocking on the door made me regain consciousness. I hurried to save the money and then went ahead to see who had come.

"Aunt RT?! Here come in Tan."

"Say you want to leave Damar? I've been waiting since, why don't you come?"

"Yes Tan, I'm not leaving. Forgot not to tell Auntie." Because of the two guests I canceled my intention to go find work.

"Where is Damar now?"

"So, sleep in the room. Just go in Tan."

"Darling, even though Auntie wants to take it home. Yes already, later when you wake up Aunt here again. Don't carry him for a day it feels so bad."

"Yes Aunt."

I smiled at Aunt RT's departure. He looked disappointed that today he failed to take care of Damar. He loved Damar so much when we only knew each other for a few months. While my in-laws who still have blood relations just do not care at all.

I haven't had time to close the door, I saw Mbak Eka's car coming and stopping right in front of the house. Soon, Ma'am Eka and Mas Harun got out of the car.

"Mas ... Maqf ... " I don't know what they're coming for. But I felt that there must be something important until Mas Aaron and Ma'am Eka wanted to take their time.

"Where's Damar?" ask Mama Eka. I got to memorize, the first one asked when I met was Damar.

Mas Aaron looked at my house. He looked around even into the kitchen, after which also went into my room. He had only been here for the first time so it was only natural that his expression was a little strange when he entered the house. Maybe he didn't think that if my house was completely empty there was nothing in it.

"Where are you dressed or where are you going?" Ma'am Eka noticed I was dressed neatly and formally like never before.

"Oh ... It was planned that I would look for Ma'am's job, but it wasn't because there was something. Maybe tomorrow."

"You want to find a job?!"

I'm nodding. "I have to move on with life."

"Keep Damar what if you work?"

"I put my neighbor away, someone wants to take care of her."

Mas Harun still hasn't stopped looking at my house. Looks like he still can't believe me and Handi are living in this house.

"Emma, why isn't the bed you brought here at home? don't you? The mattress is still good, bought it not too long ago. If there is no money, using an old mattress is okay, right? Don't you pity, Damar's sleeping on a blanket?"

My mind laughed at Mas Aaron's words. Why did he immediately think that I was the one who did not want to use my old mattress.

I know myself Mas, even I am very aware will not be able to buy a new mattress, my inner.

"The cabinets in your room used to be also still usable right? Why wasn't yesterday transported? Instead of your clothes just put in a cardboard box like that. Isn't that time Handi borrowed a car to transport goods? This why no one was taken?"

I feel like slapping Mas Aaron's cheek for him to come to his senses. Why until now he still can not understand the character of his mother.

"We also want everything in the room we bring Mas, but it must not be the same mother."

"Why can't it?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Don't know, just ask mom. We're not allowed to bring anything out of Mom's house."

"But ... "

"But what?" sahut Mbak Eka's. "You don't seem to know how mom is?"

Mas Aaron glared speechless. Then he sat down to join me and Ma'am Eka on the mat. After that Ma'am Eka gave him a code to start talking.

First Mas Aaron asked about the house, how long and how many installments per month. Then I explain everything.

"How many months have you got now?"

"This month is already the fourth installment."

Mas Aaron nodded his head in understanding. I don't understand why he suddenly asked.

"What's up, Mom? Why did Mas Aaron ask that? Has the bank contacted you?"

"Look Emma, we spoke yesterday with Mas Hasan and Ms. Rina. We plan to pay off this house. So you don't have to think about the installments. You can focus on raising Damar."

My eyes were round upon hearing Mas Aaron's words. I looked at Mas Aaron and Mbak Eka in turn.

"I didn't hear wrong, did I?"
