The Third Party

42. Visit of Ma'am Eka 2

I frowned at the question of Ma'am Eka.

"I used to renovate this house mbak, to open this food stall capital as well."

"Keep the rest you canister? Or investing?"

"What investments? It's over, just a few million."

"A few million left?"

"Did Mbak Eka forget the money was used to pay a notary when taking care of the house?"

Replace Mbak Eka who frowned. He looked confused at my words.

"What notary?" tanyanya while releasing Damar because he had thrashed to get down from Mbak Eka's sling.

"Our time notary took care of the house's repaid back then?"

"I've all paid for it! You shouldn't have paid anything."

I glared in disbelief.

"Who did you give it to? When?"

So, Mas Aaron that time ... Did I speak wrong?

"Say who asked you to pay the notary? Let me take care of it! Who did you give it to? How many?!" ask Mbak Eka fiery. "You've cheated Emma! Tell me who's been cheating on you? You remember the guy, right?"

"That's it, ma'am, it's okay. It's gone too, maybe the money's not my fortune. I've already cut it."

"No, I can't! Must be carried over until it is finished! I'll take care of everything. I won't let your money go to waste for a house you don't have!" Ma'am Eka looks very angry and honestly I'm afraid to see him.

"Do you remember who it was?!"

I had to nod.

"What's his name?!"

I really don't want to say it. I did not nau make the relationship between Mbak Eka and Mas Harun damaged because of this problem. But seeing Ma'am Eka glaring in front of me and continuing to urge me, I had no choice.

"Mas Aaron." Then I told you how Mas Aaron asked for the money. Ma'am Eka rubbed his face many times, but he seemed not to look surprised to hear this.

"I'm sorry Emma, I don't know. I'll change the money" he said at the end.

"No need to ma'am."

"No, I'll keep returning it. That money is very useful to you."

Once again I forget that if this Ma'am Eka is rich, maybe forty-five million means nothing to her. But it's not about money, it's about his relationship with Mas Harun who might get in trouble once he finds out this.

"I became more and more convinced to part from Aaron."

"What is Ma'am talking about?!" Sku was shocked to hear the words of Mbak Eka. "Forget this money problem! I have really let it go. Please, ma'am, don't make me feel guilty."

Ma'am Eka shook her head slowly.

"It's not your fault Emma! You think this is the first?" Ma'am Eka smiled wryly. "No! This is the umpteenth time. Many times Aaron's friends came to me and said that Aaron owed them money. Then I paid it off. Not once twice, but repeatedly. If I count, I might have spent hundreds of millions to pay off Aaron's debts."

"But I don't think that he's gonna fool you. His own brother-in-law. This time Aaron has gone too far. Can he trick you?!"

"Sorry Mom, what is that money for? Why did Mas Aaron owe his friends?" my kepoku's soul thrashed in curiosity as to what Aaron was up to in debt to his friends if he could ask him from Mbak Eka.

"Gammy, he's gambling crazy!"

I can't speak. After hearing that Ms. Rina got divorced because Hasan likes to play women, now I hear that Aaron likes to gamble. This family really. Not his mother, not his children all do not know themselves. Hasan played girls and Aaron played gambling?!! Truly a "perfect" brother and sister duo". Only Handi is almost flawless.

"Actually, I'm here because I need a friend to talk to. I had wanted to divorce Aaron for a long time but there was something that made me doubt and finally broke my wish. But I know this. Now that I'm sure, I'll divorce her soon!"

"Mr ... ?! Is this because of me? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you that it's like this at last." Even though Ma'am Eka has said that this is not because I still feel guilty.

"No, Emma, I'm grateful that you've been honest and don't feel guilty. It's not because of you!"

"Later Mas Aaron will be angry with me."

"He wouldn't dare to be angry at you! I guarantee!"

We both remained silent for a while. I was overwhelmed with guilt, while Ma'am Eka was probably thinking about her household.

Not to think, both Mbak Eka and Mbak Rina both like having a perfect household. My in-laws were very flattering to both of them but it was their husbands who were acting up.

"Do you know you're gonna have a nephew?" Ma'am Eka has changed the subject.

"What's? Who?" I don't get it.

"Heni's pregnant, you'll have a niece soon."

"Oh ... "

"Don't like having a niece?" Ma'am Eka teased me. He knows how I'm related to Heni.

"It's usual, Ma'am. Back when I was pregnant Heni didn't look happy either."

"Why is that?"

"Why what's it, Mommy?" Since then I can not catch the words of Mbak Eka. "Why isn't Heni happy?"

"Not ... Why do we get to meet such a family? I used to be crazy about Aaron. Any debt I pay off doesn't matter. I even cover it up so that no one will know. But now, I'm tired. Tired of a husband who only uses me and my mother-in-law who just want my money."

"Don't ask me why Ma'am, until now I myself have not found the answer. Why would a very good Handi be in the middle of a toxic family like this? Is Sandy really part of them? Is Handi not a adopted child because his nature is very different from other mothers and brothers?"

Ma'am Eka smiled. "Yes, Sandy is the best among them. You're lucky Emma."

Somehow my heart suddenly filled to hear the words of Mbak Eka. I remember Handi. Although not as handsome as Hasan and Aaron, but he is the best of his nature.

"I have to go home now."

"Mhrs ... " I hung up my sentence. Ma'am Eka raised her eyebrows waiting for me to speak.

"Are you really going to divorce Mas Aaron?"

"We'll see" he replied with a smile. "Don't forget, send me your account number. I'll transfer it instead. See you soon."

I can only look at the passing of Mbak Eka with guilt. How can someone who decides to divorce smile like that.
