Broken Glass

Chapter 26

Unable to be lifted his call, Dayan decided to change clothes. Closing all the windows, and turning on the lights so that the house is not dark when he comes home later. Dayan wears a jacket and helmet, then takes the motorcycle out of the garage. After locking the garage door, the forty-two-year-old man took out his iron horse.

With a heart full of joy, he went to the shophouse to meet his little family. Hoping that the problem is finished, can improve his relationship with his wife and two children. I can get together with them again.

Arriving at the shophouse, it turns out that Bestari, Riri, and Ratna are not there. Dayan only met with employees who worked there.

“Where are Mothers and children?” ask Dayan to Imah, the employee.

“I don't know, Sir. From then on Mother, Mbak Riri, and Mbak Ratna also have not returned home. Mother also did not say anything to me,” replied Imah.

Disappointed faces cannot be hidden. His shoulders were on the ground as soon as he heard the employee's answer. His hopes of gathering with his wife and children were lost. Dayan took the device out of his pocket. Try to call back the wife.

After a few rings, his call was finally answered by Bestari. “Assalamu’alaikum. Where are the children and mothers not yet home? I'm at the shophouse now,” Dayan said as soon as his call was answered.

“Wa’alaikumussalam. I'm walking with the kids. They were sad because the house was sold. So I invited them to entertain themselves. Father, just go home. We went until night,” said Bestari from across the phone.

Dayan let out a long breath after hearing the wife's words. “What kids don't come home for a change of clothes, Mom?” tanyanya.

“We have brought a change of clothes from earlier. Father, don't worry,” replied Bestari.

“Where do mothers and children go? Let me follow.” Dayan headed to his motorbike parked in front of the shophouse.

“Bapak need not follow. We want to enjoy threesome time.” Bestari then turned off the call unilaterally.

Dayan took a long breath. His desire to get together with his wife and two children is now completely gone. He seemed to have been cut off from his little family. The proof, Bestari did not tell where he was at the moment and even said he only wanted three.

The 42-year-old man then decided to leave the shop. Instead of going home, he played to his friend's house.

The next day, Dayan went back to the notary Sambodo to make a transaction to buy and sell his land with doctor Rani. After Rani's doctor paid off the land payment with cash, they signed the Sale and Purchase Deed.

“Dok, we ask for one month to move the goods,” pinta Dayan after signing the Sale and Purchase Deed.

“Monggo only, Sir. I also have no plans to occupy the house,” said Dr. Rani.

“Thank you, Doc. Tomorrow when everything is done, I will notify you,” Dayan said.

Doctor Rani is unemployed. “Ya, Sir.”

After Rani's doctor came home, Dayan gave the fee to her realtor and lawyer. He then saved some money to pay the seller's taxes. The remaining money is only 100 million now which is directly stored in the bank. The man of two children only took one as well for a grip. The plan is he wants to invite his wife and child to eat dinner tonight.

Shortly thereafter the reply from Bestari came. “Let me ask the kids first. They want it or not.”

Dayan's natural smile disappeared. The cloud now covered his face. Although there is no definitive answer, but the reply from the wife has made him discouraged. Bestari herself refused to be with him. Children may not want to either.

“I miss the kids, Mom. Please tell them that tonight they are free to eat anything.” Dayan sent a message back to Bestari. He was so agitated as he waited for a reply from his wife.

Five minutes, ten minutes, 30 minutes, no reply from Bestari. Makes him more nervous. The man had intended to call a woman who was pregnant and gave birth to her children, but stopped because he knew Bestari did not like to be called for things that are not too important. However, wasn't meeting and gathering with her children all that important to her?

In the turmoil he felt, there was a message that entered his goal. A smile returned to his face as he read the sender's name. Immediately open the message.

“Kids no one wants, Sir.” Brief, concise, and clear what Bestari wrote. It made Dayan really feel a great disappointment. The hope that he had fertilized earlier, finally withered back, even died.

Dayan took a long breath. He settles down on his favorite sofa while closing his eyes. Regretting all his foolish deeds that can no longer be corrected.

After Magrib, Dayan was already wearing neat clothes. He went to XX restaurant which became his family's favorite. Buy the menu that became the favorite of the wife and her two children. Hope they are happy with the gift even though they do not go and eat together. After the restaurant, Dayan headed straight to the shophouse with a happy heart. Imagine the faces of his two children who were radiant as they received their favorite food.

Arriving at the shophouse, Dayan did not find a car parked there. The store is still open, but the employees are on guard.

“Mothers and children go?” ask Dayan to the store employee.

“Iya, Sir. Just left. Maybe about five minutes,” replied the employee.

“What says you want to go where?” ask Dayan again.

The employee nodded. “Mother didn't say where to go, but she said she wanted to buy what it was for schoolwork Ms. Ratna.”

Dayan let out a long breath as he heard the employee's explanation. He failed to get together with his little family. Just try it, he went directly to the shophouse not to the restaurant first. Surely he could meet them and even go together.

“Do you know they have eaten or not?” Once again the 42-year-old asked.

The employee shook his head. “He hasn't, sir. I also don't know.”

“I go first into,” Dayan said without being prevented by the employee. The man then looked at the empty dining table. The dishwasher is also empty and the dishes are on the shelf dry all. Bestari and her two children have not had dinner yet. He then placed the various foods that had been purchased on the dining table. They wait for them to come home and eat together. While waiting, Dayan decided to cook rice in magic com because the rice ran out. After that he sat in the multipurpose room while turning on the television.

The man then contacted the wife to let her know that she was in the shop and bought them their favorite food. “Assalamu’alaikum. Where do the same kids go? I was at the shophouse,” Dayan asked when his call was answered.
