Next months...
[Tonight you're overtime again, you don't seem to have time to pick you up, is it okay to go home alone?] the message from Arya's mobile number she received on the eve of the night, after Vania waited for her with food at the table she had prepared from an hour ago. But it is still the same as the previous nights, that the man returned unable to go home in time.
[Alright, ..] Reply lazily.
[When I'm ready for dinner, I think you'll go home first?] continued.
[Sorry, you forgot to tell me from noon, because there are many places you should go. Some locations have already started construction. And tonight you have to finish the other plan.] Arya explained.
[Can't be taken home? can yesterday be done at home? Last month even brother used to take three working days, and the rest work at home?]
[Unfortunately it can't, because it's teamwork, not just one brother.] Arya replied.
[Yes.] Vania put the phone on the table, between the dishes containing the food of his creation. He was disappointed again.
"Mi?" call him to the employee who is doing his job.
"Yes?" the girl came closer.
"Wrap the gih, if you want. Take it home." point it at the table.
"Lho's? not for Bang Arya?"
"He's going to be late." Vania got up from her chair, then sowed into her room behind the pantry.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The rolling doors are locked tightly, and they make sure they're safe. Two large padlocks were even installed considering the many important items in the store.
"You want me to antherin first?" bargain Mimi who turned on her motorcycle.
"No, I order ojeg online." replied Vania, who turned on her phone.
"Well, if that's what I am first?" the staff was answered by a nod by Vania.
A motorbike arrived moments later, with its distinctive helmet and uniform, signaling he was the driver of a well-known online transport app in Indonesia.
"With Madam Vania?" ask the driver.
"I'm alone." replied Vania.
"Well, please." the man handed over the helmet to Vania which the woman immediately accepted for her to wear.
The motorbike took him down the city road that is always crowded, the lovers of night tourism began to gather at some points of famous areas that are often a gathering place and a hangout place for young people in the city of Bandung, Bandung, and probably a lot of tourists from out of town.
The two-wheeled vehicle passed in front of a cafe that is still operating. And Vania decided to stop by for a while after negotiating with the driver.
"I told you, absolutely not still not!" Melly's voice rang out from inside her room.
"What the hell are you trying to maintain? want more parts? mbak again planned something yes to get this cafe, and eliminate me from the list of heirs after Mas Indra?" the voice of the woman that Vania was very familiar with was heard answering.
"You're wrong, I told you it had nothing to do with it."
"But the attitude may show something else" said Rahma again.
"I maintain this cafe because of the mandate of my husband and in-laws, who advised me not to give this place to anyone. Give me a bite." replied Melly.
"I'm his sister mas Indra, papa's son too. So my rights are the same as Indra mas, greater than mbak."
"But the message papa gave to me."
"Alah, .. mbak this is fabricating, what proof if Papa gives the mandate to mbak?"
"You did not read the will carefully, Rahma."
"I read, but still I don't believe. The writing can be manipulated. Especially at that time I was not invited to negotiate." Rahma.
"Why should we be invited to negotiate? while still pioneering aunty does not want to help?" Vania decided to join in arguing with the woman, making those in the room stunned.
"What the hell does aunt want? already got a share of income without joining work, but the more here aunt more and more mengelunjak."
"You don't know anything Vania, you better back off. It's old man's business."
"It's better for the aunt to step down, before I do anything else. Honestly, this aunt's behavior makes me feel threatened."
"I'm just asking for my rights as his son too."
"That's what aunt talked about? not bosen what? or not ashamed? which mother loves the same aunt every month what? not rights?"
Rahma.
"Tante can produce cafes without having to work like a mother, and that's more than anything. I don't have to work, get more money, really good living aunt... same om. uh, .. now still ask for more? isn't that shameless of his name?"
"So yes, what you said!"
"I'm not the one who needs to keep my word. But auntie must take care of attitude. Don't want to be good, but don't want to work. Om also, how the hell to be a man, can not pay for his wife yes, to the point of having to beg maksa rich that? shame dong same nice car, also his house is flattering. But still keep asking for cafe income without thinking about his hard work?"
"You yeah, dare the same older one?" Rian pushed her in front of the woman, pushing Vania until her back body hit the door.
"Why should I be afraid? because Om is older? not to put it." Vania removed the man's hand from his shoulder. Then take a few steps back to intimidating.
"Udah mas, do not need to be served. Little boy who doesn't know anything like him we don't have to respond." Rahma deprives her husband of more actions.
"We'll continue later. Now we go first." she continued, who then pulled her husband out of the place.
***
Melly sighed softly, and she tried to calm herself down. His attempt to hide some things from Vania failed already. Now his daughter would definitely not believe the reason he was about to throw.
"Now what else is mom?" Vania began to ask.
Melly hasn't answered.
"Mom?" the woman touched her mother's hand.
"They want to sell this cafe." Melly finally opened her voice.
"What?"
"There are already businessmen bidding at a high price."
"Continue?"
"Mother refuse." Melly looked at her daughter's face with teary eyes.
"But the businessman contacted Rahma, and she immediately agreed."
"Tante Rahma is crazy? he hadn't thought all this time of living off what outcome? if sold we can only enjoy the cafe results for a while, not until the year. But if we keep it, the cafe will be able to support us until the time we do not know, that maybe this place can be inherited by our descendants later." Vania reacts.
"That's what I'm trying to explain to you, but she still doesn't understand. He wants his share now without thinking about his life."
"Ah, .. do not understand the same way of mind aunt Rahma." Vania slammed her ass into a chair not far from her.
"Already, .. don't think. Let this be mom's business...
"Will you sell the cafe?"
"Had mother said she wouldn't. Honey also if you remember later this place will be used as a hotel and pub if you sell."
"Many of our memories are here, ma'am. This is also where I get a lot of science, which I can use right now."
"Indeed, ...
"So... What are you going to do?"
"Content, ... Rahma had to be silenced so she wouldn't keep teasing."
"We love Aunt Rahma's share? isn't there a right for him in this cafe?"
"He wants half of this cafe, and that's not a small amount. I don't have that kind of money." Melly placed her back on the back of the chair, then they both fell silent.
***
"Oh yeah, you just got back from the store?" Melly then asked.
"Yes." Yeah."
"alone? where's Arya?"
"Bring overtime, it's still a long time to go home." Vania stared at the clock on her phone screen.
"You want to wait for Arya here?"
"Not sure, how's your own mother?"
"Maybe mom wants to go home. Thinking here makes me dizzy."
"Don't think too much of mom, afraid she's making you sick."
"No. Just looking for a way for Rahma not to keep urging mom to sell this cafe."
"Tomorrow we think about it, maybe we should go home first?"
"You're right. Want to go home together?" Melly got up from the couch.
"May, I'll take the car. I'll drive mom home, I'll be back tomorrow while I'm leaving.
"Well, "and two other women of that age decided to go home.
