Broken Glass

Chapter 29

"Pity and help may be, but don't be stupid, Dayan!" The point of feeling furious at Dayan. "Helping doesn't have to be by breaking the hearts of your wife and children. You throw away diamonds, but you pick up stones."

Dayan looked down even though the older brother did not see him. "I know I was wrong, Ma'am. It's all over. How else. I live in your house yes, Ma'am," he asked again, but half forcefully. Indeed Dayan so, likes to ask by force. "I'll clean everything up. I promise I'll take good care of her."

I heard a long breath from across the phone. "You can stay there for a while. Don't do anything stupid anymore. Now you focus on worship, and work. Don't forget the children who are your responsibility. Even if you don't live with them, you're still their father. Keep them on your own according to your abilities. Don't make them hate you because you never were, and don't support them" Point said.

"Yes, Ma'am, thank you." Dayan closed the call after the brother gave him a long advice. No one defended. Everyone blamed him for betraying Bestari and owed him moneylenders for Royani. The man admitted all his mistakes. And, somehow Dayan will fix everything.

After Dayan got permission from his older brother to occupy his house, the man hired people to clean and repair some of the damaged parts of the house. It turns out that repairing a house requires no small amount of funds. Because it was not occupied for a long time, the house was quite dirty.

While Dayan prepared the house for his residence, Bestari every day came to prepare the items he would bring after returning home from work. Although the body feels tired, but he wants to be sorted out soon. If it is settled, the mother of two children live to organize her future with children. To be clear, Bestari no longer want to return with Dayan even though the man said he would never divorce her.

During that time, Bestari was also looking for info of the vast venue that contracted. After asking around, he finally got an empty house that was used to store tobacco. After the owner of the house allowed it, Bestari was able to breathe with relief. His job is now to prepare the items that will be stored in the house.

A week before the deadline requested to Rani's doctor, Bestari called the junk buyer to the house. He sold many items that were no longer used and also damaged made of plastic, iron, and paper. The items they managed to collect for three weeks cleared the house. In addition, Bestari also sells clothing to one of the merchants who are famous for selling clothes and used goods.

After the sale of used goods and clothing was completed, Bestari rented a vehicle and asked the services of people to move his goods to the place he had rented. Because a lot of stuff, so not enough transport. There are spring beds, cabinets, tables, chairs, plates, glasses, cookware, and various other glassware. Some small items are taken to the shophouse, while large ones are placed in rented rooms.

When the business of transporting his goods was finished, Bestari looked throughout the room in the house which is now mostly empty. There was pain in his heart as he recalled all the memories that were in the house. How the struggle used to build a house from scratch to have to borrow money in the bank so that the house is more comfortable to live in. Bonuses obtained from his work are also mostly used to beautify the house. The side of his heart still felt unwilling that the house he had lived in for more than 12 years changed hands. However, he could do nothing when fate had outlined the house had to be sold.

Bestari took a deep breath inside the house. Feel the air in the house for the last time before exhaling it hard. He cannot continue to be sad. There are two teenage and adult girls whose lives depend on it. Bestari must be strong for the sake of Riri and Ratna who are now his encouragement to work and make them happy. The 40-year-old woman smiled as she left the house. Leave all the memories there to create more beautiful memories with her two children.

Bestari had done all her work and would never set foot in that house again. While Dayan still has not completed the repair process at the house of the brother. Just a few more touches, even though the house can already be occupied. The things from his old house had already been some stuffed there. Some are still waiting until they are done.

"Mom, after this means we're not home much longer huh?" ratna asked as they were on their way home.

Ratna's question managed to make Bestari's chest tightness. They are actually very heavy to take off the house. Especially the youngest who has lived in the house since birth. There are many memories engraved there. A house that has been a witness to its growth from infancy to adolescence. She knew Ratna felt pain and sadness as she felt.

"Aamiin," said Ratna and Riri together.

"Father so stay at his house Bude Point, Mom?" ask Ratna again.

Bestari. "Yes. Father lives there. Do you want to stay with me, Father?" He looked at Ratna from the rear view mirror.

Ratna shakes. "No want. I want the same Mom and Riri."

"If you miss your father, you can stay there." Bestari looked back at her youngest daughter.

Once again Ratna nodded. "Let you go to the shop if you miss, Mom. I'm sad to see our house" he said. The house owned by Point is indeed the yard next to their home. So if you go to the house Point must have passed their old house.

Once again Bestari felt pain in her heart. Not only Ratna who was sad, he and Riri must also be sad if they saw the house that was once their residence. The house that was taken by force because of Dayan's reckless actions.

"If you miss the same Father, just say Father. You will definitely come for you" said Bestari wisely. "One thing I ordered, wherever you live, you have a mother and a father. Keep studying hard for the future. Soon you will face the graduation exam, focus on studying. Don't think of anything else to go to your dream school, yeah."

"Yes, Mom." Riri and Ratna agreed to the mother.
