Broken Glass

Chapter 16

After finishing packing all the items to be brought, Bestari, Riri, and Ranta put them in the car. The back seat of the car is broken down to fit more stuff there. The middle seat also contained their belongings.

After the Zuhr prayer, the three of them left the house that had been their residence all this time. Dayan can only resign and be silent to see their departure. He still feels appreciated because the three said goodbye before leaving.

Bestari rode in the car with Ratna, while Riri rode a motorcycle that her mother used to work. The girl is actually still not old enough to ride a motorcycle, but because of circumstances, it makes her dare to drive from home to the shophouse which is only about five kilometers away.

Once they arrived at the shophouse, they took out all the luggage and arranged it neatly. From today, they would live a threesome with full limitations of space and motion. Bestari and Dayan officially split the house.

***

Monday morning, the busy little family began to feel. Adaptation in a new place is certainly not an easy thing. If usually they can freely move, now the movement is also limited. In the old house there were two bathrooms, while in the shophouse there was only one. They had to take turns wearing them and wait.

However, all the changes that exist do not reduce the spirit of Riri and Ratna to go to school. Riri was even ready earlier than usual as she was going to take the bus to school from today. The girl was not expecting her father to deliver her. And, regardless of where her sense of responsibility as a parent is, Dayan does not invite Riri to go to school at all. Though Dayan's office and the school of the firstborn line in the same direction.

Bestari took Ratna to school as usual. If Riri's school is close, he will deliver his eldest daughter. However, that was impossible, it would at least take over thirty minutes to commute back and forth to the house. Not to mention he had to go to work.

As he promised Wildan the other day, this afternoon they will meet Norman, the loan shark, at the mortgaged house. Bestari regained the permission of her boss to go home sooner. Fortunately, the leader understood the situation. Even continue to give Bestari spirit and promise to help if the subordinate wants to ask for his help.

The house he had just left yesterday was deserted. Dayan did go to work because it was an empty house. After entering the house with a spare key, Bestari took a broom to sweep the living room and the patio that looked dirty. A day is not swept, it looks dirty and full of dust.

Bestari awaits the arrival of Wildan while surfing in cyberspace. Seek information about falsified signature laws. The woman shuddered at the sight of the threat of punishment for falsifying the signature. The perpetrator could be sentenced to six years in prison.

“Assalamu’alaikum,” greetings Wildan who was already standing in front of the living room door that was accidentally opened by Bestari.

“Wa’alaikumussalam. Please come in, Mas Wildan.” Bestari stood up, welcoming the arrival of the bespectacled man.

“Thank you. Alone, Ma?”

“Yes, who would you like, Mas. The kids can't talk about anything like this either. Let's sit down, Mom. Kok even stand still.”

Wildan then sat down, as did Bestari.

“Later if they come, Mas Wildan who said yes,” pinta Bestari.

“Iya, Mom. Mom just said that I'm Mom's niece who will represent Mom,” Wildan said.

“Good, Mas.”

“What will be said according to agreement yesterday ‘kan?”

“Iya, Mas. Anyway I fret just let the problem quickly finish.”

Twenty minutes later a white car entered the yard. Two people got out of the car. Then they went into the terrace. “Good day, Mom,” greetings Erwin with friendly.

“Siang also. Please come in and please sit down,” said Bestari.

Norman and Erwin then walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa opposite Bestari and Wildan.

“Thank you for coming to our house,” said Bestari, a sign of courtesy as the host.

“Yes, equally. Where's Mr Dayan, Ma?” ask Erwin.

“Nothing. He is working,” replied Bestari.

“Padahan we want to meet with Mr. Dayan. Resolve the problem well,” said Erwin.

“I am Mr. Dayan's legal wife. I also want to finish well. And I leave what we want to talk to my nephew.” Bestari pointed to Wildan.

“Loh this ‘kan who used to come claimed to be a buyer,” said Erwin.

“Iya, I was invited there with Mr. Dayan to claim to be a buyer,” Wildan timpal. “Therefore I can say that the woman who was with Mr. Dayan was not his legal wife. And, the signature in the agreement letter was forged. The sale and purchase agreement is legally flawed and does not apply,” he added.

“Bu, why bring an outsider in this matter. He's been lying to us before,” Erwin.

“He's my nephew, not someone else. And he represents me,” says Bestari.

“Because the agreement is a legal defect, we'd better get this over with. We will repay Pak Dayan's debt of three hundred million rupiah. And certificate back to us. Ibu Bestari, Mr. Dayan's legal wife who has been greatly harmed in this case can sue Mr, notary, Mr. Dayan, and Royani for falsifying signatures,” Wildan said.

“This is a sale and purchase agreement not a receivable. We don't know about the counterfeiting. All we know, Mr. Dayan came with his legal wife,” kekeh Erwin.

“Didn't yesterday when I came, I told you that his legal wife is not Royani and the legal wife's signature was faked. You also have asked Mr. Dayan and Royani to sign a statement that they have done a fake signature ‘kan? So don't squint. Let's just end this matter peacefully,” Wildan said.

“We don't know about that. If it is true, we are also the injured party. We can also sue Mr. Dayan and Royani for falsifying signatures,” challenged Erwin.

“Yes, please if you want to report them. We are very grateful for not bothering to report. Because we are also very disadvantaged in this matter. We will not only report to the police but also to the notary board.” Wildan challenged back. The man was emotionally involved.

“Why so widen this talk. Our intentions were good to finish in a family, but instead Mother brought someone else who even muddy the atmosphere. Looks like this talk is pointless.” Erwin and Norman stood up from their seats and stepped out.

“Then we met in court alone,” cried Wildan to both of them.
