The Third Party

36. Unexpected Money 2

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

It's hard to believe. This morning two people from PT. The lantern came to give some money, now Mas Harun and Mbak Eka came to pay off the installments.

"We have discussed with Mas Hasan and Mbak Rina. They also agreed, even transferring some money to me. But we don't know how much we think. That's why we're here to ask you directly."

I'm still dumbfounded because I can't believe this. The installments of this house are not few in number, it can be three hundred or four hundred million. And they lightly said they would pay it off.

I don't know what good Handi has done in his life until me and Damar receive the reward. Turns out he didn't leave me and Damar in trouble. Even all day I received a lot of good news.

"Ba ... What about mom? You definitely disagree with this plan?!" I find it hard to talk.

My in-laws were the only people who instantly crossed my mind. If my worthless used goods just want to have it, then what if he knows about the hundreds of millions of dollars that will be used to pay off the mortgage?

It has not disappeared from my memory when my in-laws went against Hasan and Aaron's plan to finance all of Damar's needs. He insisted on opposing it and would only agree if Heni's son was later also financed by his brothers. So it is not impossible that my in-laws ask Heni to buy a house if he finds out.

"We didn't tell mom. It's just us who know. Sister Rina and Mas Hasan also agreed not to tell this to mother. You take it easy, as long as you don't talk you won't know" said Mbak Eka.

I'm glad to hear that.

"Take this instead because we're not financing Damar."

"Mas ... Maqf ... The home is not a small amount. Is this not troublesome? I feel like a burden to all of you." I dare to talk. It's not that I feel capable of being alone or want to refuse their help. It's just that I feel bad because it's not their duty.

"Don't talk like that Emma. You and Damar are family. Don't think you're a burden. Yesterday Heni married only us who bear all the costs. What's more important that we don't help?"

I almost forgot that Mbak Eka and Mbak Rina are rich. Hundreds of millions of dollars means nothing to them.

Ma'am Eka told me to ask the bank for details, what the total amount we have to pay to pay off my house.

"Later when it's clear everything you tell me or Aaron. We take care of it immediately."

I still think I'm a burden to them. This money is not a small amount even though for them this is nothing. Then I remembered the money I had just received. I'll tell them about the insurance money and the insurance money I got from the company.

They're Handi's family so they deserve to know about this money. I don't want to be greedy to keep this money alone without any of them knowing.

"So someone from Handi's company came to work here."

"What do they need to come? Is Handi still some unfinished business?" Mas Aaron was worried.

"No, not about that."

I stood up and took the envelope from Handi's company.

"It's the company's indemnity and this one's accident insurance money." I explained where the money came from and how much it was, as well as the debt Handi had paid off by the director.

Mas Harun and Mbak Eka looked at each other. Mas Aaron took the envelope and looked at the contents. I could see Mas Harun's eyes rounded looking at the money inside the envelope.

"Maybe this can be used to help pay off home installments" I said. I don't want to just stand idly by. If this is all I can do then I will. I'm willing that all the money was used to help pay off the home installments. It was for my and Damar's good.

"You save this money first. Later we will talk first with Mas Hasan want to be flapped better."

I nodded in understanding.

"Yes already. We go home first. Don't forget you asked the bank I said earlier. If you tell me immediately."

I nodded back. Then Ma'am Eka and Mas aaron pamit.

I went back to the room after Mas Aaron and Mbak Eka left. Damar is still sleeping comfortably despite the rough conditions. I can understand why Mas Harun was astonished as soon as he entered my house. The condition of my house is very concerning. Especially when looking in the room.

I look around. I do my clothes neatly, but they are not kept in the closet. Only the cardboard lined up containing my clothes and the clothes of Handi were still intact untouched in place. While Damar who sleeps with a blanket increasingly adds a dramatic impression in my house. For Mas Harun who was used to living a luxurious life, of course, this kind of situation was very unworthy.

But I felt comfort in this unworthiness. I am free from my in-laws who always look down on me and think I am not worthy to be his daughter-in-law. I became a mistress in this house while in my in-laws house I was just a babu and a footwear for my sister-in-law.

"Well, at least I have my own house" I murmured.

Two days later...

Mas Harun and Mbak Eka came back. Today they're gonna take me to the bank to pay off the mortgage.

"This is Mas, the money at that time," I said before leaving. I gave money from PT. The lantern to Mas Harun, still intact like the first time I held it.

"What is this money for?"

"To help pay off home installments. Four hundred million very large. I'm not good to you all."

"You just keep Emma. You don't have to think strangely. We sincerely help you," replied Mbak Eka.

Even though Mbak Eka has said that I still feel bad for them. Besides Mas Aaron's gaze was like not willing if I save the money.

"Let's go now, get some daylight." Ma'am Eka stood up and followed by Mas Harun. He obeyed the words of Ma'am Eka, but I was sure there was something he wanted to say.

It wasn't until two hours that we were back home. I can smile with relief because now the letters of the house are in my hands. I can't tell you how grateful I am to my brothers and sisters.
