Istikharah
JI 2 - Money

After meeting Arini and Aldi at that time, Arini so often visited his father. At least once a week.

If Leon is busy, then he will only come with Jasmine and Joseph. But if Leon's not busy, they'll come four.

As of today, Arini and her two children are at Hamdani's house. Leon is at work.

Leon has been very busy lately. Overtime often. Sometimes even on Saturday he goes to work.

"Leon's still busy, Rin?" hamdani asked when she saw her daughter only coming with her two grandchildren. The husband of his son did not participate.

"Yes, Pa. Leon's company is on the verge of bankruptcy. So he has to work with extras" said Arini. The woman kissed the back of her father's hand with reverence.

Then followed by Jasmine and Joseph kissing the back of Hamdani's hand as well.

"Where's al, Pa?" asked Arini when she did not see her sister at home.

"Dating. Ordinary, again kasmaran him," kekeh Hamdani while landing his ass on a single sofa that is in the living room.

Arini and her two children also sat on the sofa. "New boyfriend, huh?" ask Arini. For the past year, his sister has been single.

"Yes. Flight attendant on your airline" Hamdani replied, holding Yusuf who suddenly walked over to him.

"What's the deal, Ma?" asked Joseph plainly.

Arini and Hamdani look at each other and laugh while shaking their heads.

They only realized one thing, do not talk carelessly in front of the children. Their curiosity is high.

"Later when Joseph grew up knowing for himself." Hamdani answered. The middle-aged man kissed the chubby cheek of the grandson on his lap.

Time keeps passing. Currently Leon is whirled by installments in the bank. The reason yesterday was his due, but he has not paid.

Not that Leon does not want to pay the debt, but the sales this month are very bad. Plus, the company's cow died two.

Looks like Leon really is being tested by God. If his life used to be good and could have fun with many women. Now he's in trouble.

Leon ruffled his hair in frustration. The overdue e-mail from the bank is still plastered on his desk computer. Leon stared at the computer screen while thinking.

"How do I pay for it?" leon muttered almost without a sound.

Actually, if you pay half, the company's money can still be used. If it is full, the company's money is not enough. This is a bank, not a loan shark. So it can't be in the installments.

As for personal money? Ah, Leon has. He no longer has any personal money. Since the company's money in Reza's corruption, Leon's monthly income has been meager. And it's just used up to buy gasoline and internet quota.

As for his past savings, he has used it to buy a house. Now he really doesn't have any money. For basic shopping use money Arini.

Leon was so embarrassed. Husband but useless. Goods give a living alone cannot.

In addition, the cost to pay a lawyer is not cheap. And if he doesn't hire a lawyer, how good will be Reza's fate.

"Ah, it seems like a month late is fine" muttered Leon.

Because he used to be in arrears of installments for one month. And the bank can forgive that. But it was in a different bank. It's not the bank that Leon is currently lending money to.

Leon sat pensively at the dining table. As always, the dining table is great. There are vegetables, side dishes and fruits.

It feels like Leon is embarrassed to eat all this. These were all bought using Arini's money.

"Hey. Eat up! How to dream!" Arini waved her hand in front of her husband's face.

"Ah. Anu, what, honey?" Leon stammering.

Awfully, Leon ate his breakfast.

"Why, Pa? Not good, huh?" jasmine asked with her innocent expression.

"Enak, really. This is Papa's favorite food" Leon replied with a bitter smile.

"If it's good to eat that spirit, dong, Pa. Don't lemes like that" Jasmine protested.

Leon just nodded and nodded.

Meanwhile, Arini, who was sitting next to Jasmine, rubbed the top of her little girl's head in a fit of anxiety.

Becca used to crave what, anyway? How can his son be this smart, inner Arini amazed.

"Au sayul again, Pa?!" yusuf sat next to Leon.

"Papa's son wants some more vegetables, huh?" Leon then added the vegetables to Joseph's plate.

"Why are you, anyway? If anything, it's gone with me" said Arini because he saw Leon who is not as usual.

"My boy. I'm fine, honey. Come on, I'm just a little sleepy" said Leon, with a vague grin.

Arini frowned faintly. From the stammering manner of speech, it seems like there is something in Leon's hide.

But since there are children at the dinner table, Arini just kept quiet while continuing to eat.

Leon's stuck in traffic. In front there was an accident, so the road was jammed long. Unintentionally, his gaze catches Reza's way alone on a zebra cross.

"Kok walk?" muttered Leon. "Did I see wrong, huh?"

Leon rushes out of the car and chases Reza.

"Wait, Om!"

Reza looked over with one eyebrow raised. "What's wrong?" tanyanya flat. There is no guilt at all.

Leon's face stiffened. He clenched his hand. It's so fucking rude of this guy. There is so much corruption but no guilt at all.

But because Leon can still control his emotions, he then changed the look of his face to be more friendly.

"Where are you going?" ask Leon.

"There!" Reza pointed to a fancy restaurant not far from the jammed location.

"Why what?"

"Yes eat, I do! Time to the restaurant want the infusion of whitening," replied Reza cynical.

Suddenly Leon's mouth was sticky and could not say anything. Because of Leon's shock, he pecked for a while.

How not to shock, the person standing in front of Leon was carrying away the company's money and did not feel guilty at all. Even he still had a chance to foyer.

Because Leon was just silent, Reza finally resumed his journey.

Leon was made aware of the simple honking sound. Turns out the vehicle can go back. Leon quickly rushed into his car.

Arriving in the car, Leon drove his car with trembling hands as he held back emotions.

Not wanting to experience things that are not desirable, Leon pulled his car over in a place that is not prohibited from parking. After he was good enough, he went back on his way.
