chapter 20 David is out of the hospital

"Okay, then I'll say goodbye first, thank you very much, doctor." Their conversation ended there.

When he left there, the doctor's words were ringing in his ears. Fen contemplated for a moment along the way to her husband's room.

His hearing immediately focused when he heard the baby cry. "Betrand? He must be awake." with hasty footsteps, Fen arrived in the room where her husband was being treated.

Arriving there, Fen saw her husband sitting and cradling the baby. "Honey, here with mom." Fen grabbed it from David's hand.

"See, he immediately smiled. You miss your mother already?" David flashed a smile. The look in her eyes indicated that she loved her baby very much.

Seeing that Fen became fragile, she hoped that her husband would change, for the better, after that. Leaving Ariana his friend first, and want to be like before. Peaceful life as before.

At breakfast, Fen also sat there after breastfeeding her baby. "Mas, I want to work. Can you please find a vacancy for me? I just heard that the village office is looking for a staff and cleaning service. If I try, maybe I can get a position, even though it's only a cleaning service." he said while brewing a glass of drink for his husband.

David Ming

stop the movement. "Why is that? Don't you also have to take care of the children at home? Just selling in front of the house is enough. It's better if you just stay at home, after all, it's the wife's job to be at home."

Fen took a deep breath, then let it out harshly. "You can't see, our neighbor just graduated from high school, he can work at the sub-district office. Even though it's only as a cleaning service, he can earn quite a salary."

Haha haha, "You don't have to think about work. Selling snacks at the house is more than enough. Apart from that, you can also prepare breakfast for us like now." The husband pointed at the plate in front of him, then grabbed a piece of cake, and ate it. "We at home need you more than the office. So, you don't have to leave the house to work. You understand, right?"

Fen scowled in annoyance. "You are too much, bro, I just want to make money. Meanwhile, our other neighbors are also like that. They are looking for money and their husbands don't mind and instead support it."

He sighed. "While I'm still around, you don't have to work. Believe me, women are more noble when they are in the house. Unless I'm dead."

Gosh! Is it easy for David to talk like that? Death is not the only word that deserves to be said. "Why are you talking like that? I even wish we could live a little longer, see all our children live to the point of marriage, and even until they are successful. I asked for a work permit for our needs as well. As the needs to grow day by day, you can did you see that?"

After saying this at length, all the children of prestige went to school. Fen hoped that her words would not disturb her children's minds.

He delivered them all to the front of the house, after he said goodbye to them. "Mom, we're leaving now, bye!" They all waved their hands at their mother. "Be careful, dear!" Fen returned the wave.

"My mother wants martabak for ten thousand. Please wrap it now, okay?" Someone's voice made the woman immediately approach her hut.

While trying to be friendly, Fen made sure Mrs. Clara wanted to buy another one. It's like promoting. This method is very commonly done by Fen to make his sales run out.

"Is that all, ma'am? What about the others?"

"No, it just so happens that today the children are not at home. So, it's different," Mrs. Clara prepared a piece of paper money in her hand and gave it to Fen.

After Fen accepted it, Mrs. Clara intended to go home. However, suddenly, it rained heavily, while he did not bring an umbrella. "Take shelter here for a while, ma'am. Besides, it's raining really hard." said Fen casually.

The middle-aged woman agreed, she looked at every corner of Fen's small hut that looked simple. It was used to sell several types of snacks.

"Sorry, I'm so hitchhiking like this. Even though my house is also close around here." The mother seemed a bit reluctant, or maybe she wasn't comfortable standing for long in Fen's small hut.

"It's okay sis, instead we're getting busier here. Is that right, mas?" David was a little surprised, so he knew his name was called.

"Mmm, I guess so." Basic, without explanation from her husband. "But, I see you are very diligent in making snacks to sell." Clara continued when she asked Fen, the canteen owner there.

"Yes, that is so. I do this indeed for my livelihood. And this is also supported by my husband."

The rain began to subside, the woman said goodbye. David sat there, helping Fen tidy up the place. Coincidentally, that morning, David was going to his office. Funnily, Fen sat around him. "Mas, I want to know, do you still love me?"

David immediately turned his head, grinding his teeth. "What kind of question is that? Of course, I still love you very much, sorry if I haven't been paying enough attention to you," he said in a serious tone.

Fen turned her face away with a smile, as if she couldn't believe what she was saying. "Are you certain?" Fen still can't believe her husband's answer.

David turned around. "Of course dear. Otherwise, there's no way I could marry you. Besides, why are you asking such a strange question?"

"If you really love me, you will never have the heart to hurt the heart of a woman you love by having an affair with your wife's friend. I know there are many shortcomings that I have, but can you accept them? But unfortunately, I already know your secret, bro. You're fooling me like I'll never know everything." Fen was seen trying to hold back her tears in front of David. His mind went back to remembering, and he still couldn't let go of eavesdropping on their conversation that night.

"You already know? Since when? Then, can I be honest now? Actually, I feel sorry for making you like this. That's why I cried that night when I hugged you. I will never want to separate from you, Fen. I will stop doing that. Would you believe me if I said this? Maybe not, that's why I prefer attitude to sweet words but looks like a lie. You know how I am, right?"
