Unable to Accept

Kiara escorted Mega to her car and after Mega's car left. Kiara was assisted by Mba Tami to clean up her house.

"Kiara, whose envelope is this?" Mba Tami's hand held a large brown envelope that she found under a chair in the living room. It is also written there to defend the condolences.

"I don't know, Mba." Kiara opened the envelope, and both Kiara and Mba Tami's eyes glanced over at the contents of the envelope in front of them.

"It's a lot of money, Mba."

"Yes, who's this? Did he forget to bring this money?"

Kiara tried to think for a moment about who this money belongs to? As far as Kiara is concerned, her neighbors will not give her that much money.

"Mega. this must be Mega money, why did he give this much money? He simply said his condolences and there was no need to give this much money. In a minute, Mba, I'll call him.

Kiara contacted Mega and asked about the money. Mega finally admitted if the money was his that was deliberately wanted to be given to Kiara.

"Why did you give this much money? I don't like it if you do this, Mega."

"It's actually money from my mom, my mom's sorry I couldn't come straight to your house because my mom was still very busy with her job and how many days it wasn't home."

"Should have told your mama that I had enough condolences, no need to give money like this. I also understand the busyness of your mama, I even thank you for helping me all this time."

"Kiara, please take the money, my mama must be sad if you don't want to take it."

"But this is too much, Mega, and I can't take it. Please take it back, don't make it look like we've never known."

"I don't want to. Kiara, my mama has given me the mandate to give that money to you and I don't want to take it back. Never mind, Kiara, you just take it and use it for your mom's event needs until it's over."

Kiara was silent for a moment. He thought if this money he did not receive, then Mega would be angry.

"Then say thank you to your mother."

"I'll tell you later."

They ended the phone call. Kiara could only sigh slowly at the money in front of her. "Already, you just accept, we can use this money for your mother's study needs which will still exist. What's more your income hasn't been there since your mother died."

"Actually Arthur gave me his ATM card. He said it was an ATM card that he made especially for me as a living husband for his wife."

"Are you serious?" Kiara nodded. "That's exactly what Mega said. Arthur is a dream husband."

"Where's the room from? I'm just plain."

"Ih! You're it. Try you often with him, or you two live together, surely later you can feel he's your dream husband or not."

"don't want. I'm going to get divorced after this." Kiara moved from her place.

"Don't talk about things that God hates, Kiara. Your mother cried hearing what you said."

"That Tami MBA didn't know what I was feeling all along! Every time he saw it, the shadow of it still flashed. Pain, Mba." Kiara went into the room in annoyance.

Mba Tami who was looking could only sigh roughly. She does not feel what Kiara feels, but Kiara also should not behave like that to Arthur-her husband.

***

That morning Kiara woke up and saw that Tami was talking to a man whom Kiara recognized as her neighbor named Mas Banni.

"Kiara, are you ready?"

⁰She wants to take me home to her village after your mom's recitation is over."

"Huh? Go home to his village? Meanin?" Kiara looked surprised.

Mba Tami looked embarrassed to herself. Kiara who saw him looked suspicious. Finally Mba Tami tells if the night where her mother Kiara was sick was she was going with Banni for the first date.

"So, Mba Tami and Mas Banni are seriously having a relationship? It's not that I'm married to Arthur, is it?"

"Yeah! Who is hurt too? You think me and Banni have a relationship just for the runaway because you and Mas Arthur got married?" Kiara nodded. "Kiara, I was just amazed by Arthur, after all I realized who I was and who Mas Arthur was. She couldn't have liked me."

Kiara also confirmed Tami's mba speech. "Yes too. He married me just because of me and he had committed a sin, or else he would never have known or even married me."

Mba Tami's hand hugged Kiara's shoulder gently. "But he could have fallen in love with you. You too can one day fall in love with her. After all you are husband and wife, and who knows God does match you in this way."

"Where's the fool, Mba? I was hoping to one day be a matchmaker with the Eagle."

"You're it! Can't talk about another guy. It's already! Mba wants to get ready to go breakfast chicken porridge that is across the street." Mba Tami's smile was wide.

"I wasn't invited?"

"Just ask your husband there." Mba Tami instead stepped up cheerfully after making fun of Kiara.

"Being alone."

Kiara follows Tami to say goodbye and she goes to a small gank to find a road to where Arthur's car is waiting.

"Why does your face look so upset?" ask the man who was waiting for Kiara in the car. "Is it because of me?"

"If you know, why ask?" Kiara Manyun stared towards the front.

"Good then."

"What's so good?" Kiara's gaze immediately looked curiously at Arthur.

"It's good that your face is like that every day because I love to see it. Looks prettier," she said flatly.

Kiara immediately changed her facial expression. She was really upset with this unregarded husband of hers.

Arthur runs his car to somewhere. When Arthur's car stopped, Kiara looked astonished.

"Why do we stop at this chicken porridge shop?"

Arthur looked at his watch. "There's still time and we can have breakfast with chicken porridge first."

"But I'm not hungry, Arthur!"

"But your husband is hungry, Kiara! And the duty of the wife to accompany her husband to eat."

Arthur got out of the car, letting Kiara's mouth say something.

Arthur opens the car door and takes Kiara down.

"I can walk on my own, Arthur. We don't have to join hands."

Kiara came out with Arthur's hand.
