Suddenly a Husband

Suddenly a Husband
With Yohana


Question after question kept coming out of my mouth, as if not giving her a chance to talk. Like before, he just silently looked at me with a smile, until I realized I was talking too much.


"I'm sorry Han, I'm talking again until you can't say anything but silence. You never change, so do I. It's just the status between us that's changed." I laughed. "Han, now it's your turn to talk. No need to talk, talk!" i said again.


"What am I supposed to say, Ben? I'm just surprised by where you are. Why, Ben? Oh I know, this must be a mere coincidence." he chuckled.


"Who said? I came here to look for you, Yohana." I said, of course in my heart. "Han, mother told me to look for you, mother and my whole family would like to apologize for their treatment of you "


"There's nothing wrong, Ben, I'm grateful to be cared for and schooled by Abah and Mommy."


"Han, now everything has changed."


"Yes, I know Ben,"


"Already aware of his mistake, has been routinely consulted to psychologists and psychiatrists to regulate his emotions. Mommy is also more able to behave if Abah has gone too far. If Abah had changed long ago, yes Han. Maybe we won't ...."


"Ben, it's noon, I have to clean up your room immediately, after that I still have a lot of other work" said Yohana, she immediately took a broom and washcloth, started cleaning my room.


"Han, since when did you work here? Is your life okay?" my question, while following Yohana.


"What do you want to know, Ben? I'm fine, I have to work to get on with my life. I have to support my life and my family" he said.


"Han, is he a good man? Did he treat you well? What kind of life are you going through?" again, I can only ask that question in my heart.


I saw with my eyes how the man treated Yohana, it was clear he was not nice. A rude man who had no heart for letting Yohana lift as much stuff as herself.


"Han, can I play at your house?" my many.


"Huh? What's Ben for? Don't you have to work?" said. "Oh yeah, said Mr. Zainal you already have a wife, right Ben?"


"Yes Han, I'm married but ...." Yohana cut my conversation.


"Oh, then where is he? Let's introduce you to me, it would be great to be his friend. What's that like, Ben?"


"You know him, Han. You guys have met. If you remember the woman who came to the house at that time, who used the car


..."


"Oh, Reni's doctor?"


"Well, it's Han."


"Oh. He's Ben. Turns out you guys are really lovers."


"No Han, we're just friends. He came at that time just to make sure I was okay."


"so? then where is Ben now?"


"Don't go with Han, there's a lot I can't tell you right now. He still had to wait for the birth."


Seeing Yohana leave made my heart beat. I was so happy that we finally met. At least every morning he would come here to clean up my room, meaning every morning we had a chance to talk.


"Han, somehow, I'm getting less willing to let you go to that rude guy. I don't want to, Han.


God, I'm sorry if I had to honestly state my heart that I still love her and wish I could have her again." I covered my face with my palms, trying to dampen this feeling, but it wasn't easy.

[Ben, I'm bleeding.] Message from Reni.


Worried something happened to her so I called right away, who picked up her father. Reni has been taken to the hospital, thankfully her womb can still be saved.


[How did it happen?] my many.


[He was mostly daydreaming so he fell down the stairs. Fortunately only three steps, somehow if it falls down, maybe the baby can not be helped.] said Reni's father from Java.


I can only ask for help so that they pay more attention to Reni, unfortunately I can not talk to her because her father said she was still bedres.


After the phone was closed, the plan was to go into the room, but not so when I heard the voice of someone angry.


Mr. Zainal spoke to Yohana in a high tone, I don't know what the cause was, but clearly Mr. Zainal looked very upset.


"Sorry sir, if I interfere. May I know what's going on?" my many.


"Ahhh mas Ben, nothing mas, just upset this, mbak Yohana promise to pay the debt but until now not paid off as well. Asked to pay using other means even do not want to" said Mr. Zainal.


"debt? If I can figure out, how much do you owe Yohana?" ask again.


Yohana looked uncomfortable, he forbade Mr. Zainal to tell but the messenger guard kept his mouth open.


"Eleven million, mas. Already with the flowers " said Mr. Zainal.


"Oh, good as well "I nodded my head. "Just a second." I immediately went into the room, checked the suitcase in which was a small bag of my money. There are three million rupiah remaining. I took two million, then ran out to Zainal and Johana. "Sir, can I repay Yohana's debt? Pay twice, not for long. The end of next month I'm paying off." I gave up two million earlier.


"Duh, if paid next month so twelve million mas. Wear the flowers. A million a month" he said.


"Yes, nothing sir. Not ahead I pay ten million. paid off. Now the debt is not with Yohana anymore, sir, but with me." I said.


Mr. Zainal agreed with the deal we made, he smiled satisfied with getting two million money, then passed away from you.


"Sorry Ben, your money has to go. But I promise you, if there's money I have to change." promised Yohana.


"Ahhh what the hell is Han, same time brother himself so. We're still brothers, right?" my many. "Yes even though you don't want to be my little sister anymore, but you are still Alif's mother, my sister-in-law." I threw a smile at her. He just stared at me.


Yohana ... What kind of life are you facing now? I know a cleaning service salary like yours should be enough for your own living expenses that are used to living simply. Then why can you get into debt, let alone interest like that? You must have been very pinched. Han, is there a chance for me to make you happy?
