When My Wife No Longer Asks for Money

When my wife doesn't ask for 88 more

"Do you know the man in this picture?"

I showed him a picture of his childhood with doctor Fadli, Silvi took a cell phone from my hand and stared fixedly at the photo and looked back at me.

"Where did you get this photo, Ma'am?" Silvi asked, looking at the photo.

"From the owner of the photo," I said.

"Who...?"

"Doctor Fadli, do you remember!" aska I walk towards him.

Silvi just kept quiet maybe remembering her childhood, her school days. Seen in the photo they were in uniform to school.

"Ah, I remember Ma'am. He was Mikky one school with me but when he went up to second grade, he moved abroad" Silvi said.

"Then who Mikky is, his name is Doctor Fadli" I said again.

"Before since we went to school, he and I were never friends. Every day he throws a tantrum so he calls me Mouse and I name him Mikky, Ma'am? it turns out that he's a doctor now," said Silvi smiling perhaps remembering his past with doctor Fadli.

"But where do you know him?" Ask Silvi.

"Just ask me how you are, Dek?" I said raise an eyebrow at Rahman who was stroking the head of Rania, our daughter who was still asleep.

"Ah, mbak is not cool. Cook tell nanya' sama mas Rahman," said Silvi pouting with pursed lips.

"What the hell" asked Rahman to join us.

"It's Loe Mas, Silvi inquired about Doctor Fadli?"

Mas Rahman stared in surprise at Ratih and Silvi, confused as to what he should tell.

"Doctor Fadli, what do you mean?"

Rahman did not understand either.

"Mas remember not this morning we went to the hospital, when I asked for a photo in the room of doctor Fadli turned out to be a photo of Silvi at High School," I said.

"Ah, yes. So what you discussed earlier was a photo of Silvi, why not say from earlier," said Rahman sitting next to me.

"Since when did you know her, Silvi?"

"No Mas, me and him are just schoolmates" Silvi said sitting near me.

"Then why can he keep your old photos" asked Rahman.

"Know ah, I just ask Mikky,"

"Mikky, who's Mikky,"

Again Rahman asked again with a confused face.

"But Kepo?" I said tease him.

"Udah ah, Ma'am I go home first huh? Tomorrow I come again" said Silvi walking out and took her bag lying on the table.

It turned out that it was late afternoon, not felt because the chat was too long to make us unconscious if the day was almost at night.

"Mother rest at home, let Ratih take care of Rania," I said.

Mother was sitting leaning her body against the chair beside Rania staring at me.

"Are you okay here alone?" Said mom worried.

"Rania is not alone, Mom. It's me" said Mas Rahman just out of the bathroom.

"Yes, Mom. Tomorrow I'm here again" I said.

"Well, mommy comes home and you take good care of your granddaughter" said the mother, stroking my cheek, but Rahman just smiled and drove her to the door.

Along the way, Silvi kept light on the talk at the hospital. His memories revolve around his school days and his constant fights with Doctor Fadli.

"Is it true Mikky still keeps our photos, where is it possible? We haven't seen each other in a long time" Silvi muttered to herself in the taxi she was in.

Shortly after, Silvi got home in another taxi after the other behind making Silvi stop stepping his feet towards the fence.

"Mother came home and didn't say anything, but could go home with me you know," said Silvi standing in front of the gate.

"You won't invite mom especially after you talk about the Mikky-Mikky," said Ms. Romlah opened the fence.

"Oh mother, make Silvi just embarrassed," said Silvi pursed her lips, Miss Romlah took the house keys in her bag and opened the door and mbak Siti.

"Yesterday he said the long time there because his parents are sick in the village, indeed why?" Says mom walked to their room downstairs.

"What the hell, Mom? Even if it's Siti, she's already part of our family." Said Silvi putting her bag on the bed.

"Already, later if his parents recover, he will go home too." Said Ms. Romlah walking to the bathroom, Silvi took a towel then came out of it to clean her body in the back bathroom.

"I took a bath outside if I waited for my mother for too long" Silvi said.

*** ***

The residence of Doctor Fadli.

"Until when do you keep looking for him, bro!"

A man sits on a bed, while another man sits on a chair staring at a photo of a woman.

"Let's go, I'd love to be able to see him" Fadli said

"If she's married, what are you going to do," asked a man of medium stature but with thick eyelashes.

"Married, I don't think so?"

"Why are you so sure, haven't you guys seen each other since you were separated from High School for a long time,"

"No, Dit. I'm sure she's not married yet" said Dr. Fadli.

"The two of you are just monkey love and I think he is married too, maybe he has forgotten you. The guy who always bothered him at school" Radit Fadli's best friend said.

Fadli fell silent, he allowed all the words of Radit his friend. Most likely the woman who made her heart flower is now married.

"Do I have to stop looking for her?" ask Fadli to Radit.

Radit raises both shoulders a sign that he also cannot give advice that has been his best friend since becoming a doctor.

"Ask your heart, if you believe he is still alone then pursue him even to the bottom of the earth but if one day you find he has been happy with another, do not be disappointed," Radit patted his best friend's shoulder.

Radit knows a lot about the woman who makes Fadli still feel at home to be alone, the woman who always quarrel with him so the teacher named both Mikky Mouse.

"Mouse, could it be that we will meet again" Fadli murmured in his heart.

"Come, we sleep because tomorrow we have to go to the hospital in South Jakarta." Radit said he climbed back up the size of the bed in his apartment.

Fadli was born into a simple family, due to his intelligence to become a doctor and now he has his own apartment for the achievements he has been a Doctor.

Fadli went from his chair to the soft bed, he rubbed his face with both of them and exhaled with a huff, he climbed on the bed and laid his body next to Radit, slowly his eyes began to close into the dreamland.

As dawn began to rise, the birds began to fly for food. Silvi who was ready to go to work carrying her bag by taxi.

"Road Sir?" Silvi said smilingly.

Shortly after, Silvi gets in front of the restaurant and gets off and accidentally bumps into a man.

"You can walk no way, anyway" said Fadli

A man rebukes Silvi who accidentally hits him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't accidentally sir! Then the road is wide why you have to walk in front of me," said Silvi staring towards Fadli with indignation, only this time he saw a brave woman with him.

"You should...!"

"I'm sorry, sir. I have to work and can't serve my father?" Said Silvi running towards the restaurant without looking back at it.

"The eye is very similar to a person but who?" fadli murmured in the heart.

"Come, are we going to the hospital now?"

"Come, early in the morning already make the mood mess? only this morning there are women who dare to be angry with you," said Radit laughed at Fadli who had had a fight with Silvi but Radit rant was not digubris by Fadli.

"Why just shut up?" ask Radit.

"Loe didn't notice that woman?" ask Fadli.

"Why indeed?" Radit asked who was driving their car to both want to go to the hospital.

"She looks a lot like Mouse, her eyelashes are so beautiful," murmured Fadli unconsciously praising Silvi.

"It's possible she's the woman you've been looking for all this time" Radit said.

"Come on," said Fadli, exhaling violently and choosing to look at the car window.
