Changing Destiny: The Goddess

Chapter 35. Lose Quickly

The dew grains appear to coagulate over the foliage. Squeezing his embrace, not wanting a second to slip from the embrace. The color bias looks shiny. Like the luster of pearls that were at the bottom of the ocean.

The twenty-seven-year-old woman was still faithfully standing in front of a small mirror hanging in one corner of the room. His brain memory wandered into the events of the night. Where for the first time he felt what kiss*an.

Many times his fingers touched his lips. If you think about what happened last night, it just made his chest rustle. He wanted the shadow to be cast out. But what if everything is already engraved.

"Sir Goddess! Sister Goddess why? How about smiling to yourself?"

Sound waves that slowly spread into the sense of hearing, making the Goddess aghast instantly. He awakens from his daydreams and links the view towards the source of the sound.

"Sita? Since when was Sita there?"

"Since. Since sister Goddess smiles herself while holding her lips. Why the lips of Goddess? Was it bitten by an ant?"

The plain question however made the Goddess feel undeniable clumsy. Apparently Bhumi's actions last night made him fly high up into the clouds. Makes him forget the land. And after waking up, it was precisely this little girl's innocent question that made the shame inevitable.

If this is the answer what should the Goddess give? Couldn't it be if he said that his lips were kissed by Bhumi? The goddess would be even more ashamed.

"Ah ... This lip sister Goddess is fine, Ta. It just looks a little dry. Probably because of lack of vitamin C. Yes, less vitamin C."

Whether it makes sense or not, the most important thing is that this answer can make Sita stop asking questions and not want to know more. Although his heart actually also beat irregularly because it had lied to this little girl. Yet the Goddess still thought it was okay for him to lie a little for the good of himself.

"Oh less vitamin C? Thank goodness then, brother. I thought I was bitten by an ant."

The goddess chuckled. "No Honey. The lips of the Goddess are not bitten by ants. Oh yes, sister Goddess buy breakfast. After that sister Goddess wanted to go outside for a while. Sita remains at home, take care of mother while learning to read the books that sister Dewi bought yesterday."

"Yes, Goddess!"

The goddess rubbed the hair of this little girl with full tenderness. He smiled meaningfully at the spirit of Sita to learn to read through the books she bought. One thing he should be grateful for, a little sustenance he got he could use to buy Sita reading books that would certainly be beneficial for the future.

"Yes, sister Goddess find breakfast first."

The woman swung her legs to go to a sit-down rice vendor who had been a regular during her stay in the capital. As usual, the three packs of rice he bought for himself, for the middle-aged woman who lived with him and certainly for Sita.

Smile adorn the lips of the Goddess. He set foot with a fiery spirit. Stand strong, challenge the world bravely.

Meanwhile, in a different place, a man is seen playing a guitar in his hand. Blending song verses with the tone he created. Until it creates a harmony that sounds to appease the soul.

Sometimes the man's eyes looked bright. He remembered something he did last night. Excuse me for kissing people's lips. Which makes him even more embarrassed and unpleasant if he remembers.

Dear God, do I deserve to be called a brash man for daring to kiss the Goddess without excuse? Ii'm sorry. I really didn't mean to abuse him. I don't know why I'm drawn by the charm that woman has. God .... Is it possible that I fell in love?

Bhumi woke up from his long daydream. He refocused on the song verses given by the Goddess to him. Looking for the right tone to make it beautiful to sound in the ear.

"Ahhh .. finally, finished already the first song created by the Goddess. There's only two songs left, and songs I've created. Later I will make an album to start the footsteps of Dewi plunge into the sound industry.

" Hans... Hans... Hans!!!"

A shrill voice that came from inside Kartika's room was heard filling the entire room. Breaking the silence of the morning that felt cold to the bone. Hans who was in the kitchen with mbok Jum immediately gasped at the sound of the big madam. The two men could only look at each other.

"What's wrong, Mbok? Not as usual, old lady yelling like that?

"I don't know Hans either. Go to the mistress' room. Maybe the old lady needs you!"

Hans put back a cup of black coffee made by mbok Jum on the kitchen table. Gasping, he took wide footsteps to head to the mistress' room.

"His mother called me?"

Kartika spread her gaze towards the man standing in the doorway of her private room. The twilight-aged woman nodded her head as she invited the bodyguard into her room.

"Is there anything I can do for you, ma'am?"

"Hans, today's Monday, isn't it?"

"Mistress, today is Monday."

"Go to Hans' pawnshop. Ask the pawnshop employee what items were pawned or sold by the woman who helped me. You can redeem that stuff. After that, you look for the whereabouts of that woman."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll be going to the pawnshop soon. Then, excuse me, madam."

"Be careful Hans!"

While in another place, precisely in the pawnshop office, Dewi appears to be sitting in one of the waiting chairs. Today, he intends to redeem the white gold necklace that he pawned the other day to pay for the administrative expenses of his grandmother he found on the side of the road. Patiently, the woman was waiting in line while exchanging news with her mother in her hometown.

Time keeps going. Fifteen minutes Dewi waited in line, in the end the customer service called his number.

"Please brother, can I help you?"

Dewi issued a pawn he got from this pawnshop. He left it to the customer service in front of him.

"Look, sister, the other day I came here to pawn a necklace. Can I redeem you today, brother?"

The customer service was paying attention to the pawn letter carried by Dewi. "Oh can Brother. Please wait a minute, let me get you the necklace."

The customer service is seen looking for the item referred to by Dewi. Not long after, the beautiful woman returned to the face of the Goddess.

"This is the necklace, brother."

"So how much should I pay, brother?"

The customer service took a calculator to calculate the interest expense to be paid by Dewi. Deftly, he pressed the numbers on the calculator.

"So this is the calculation. In one month or thirty days, the interest charged is two point two percent. That means the daily count is two commas two percent divided by thirty. We meet at zero point zero seven three percent. The interest you have to pay for a loan of two million two hundred thousand for three days is zero point zero seventy-three percent times three days times the amount of the loan. Well, we meet at four thousand four hundred rupiah. So the total return is two million two hundred four thousand four hundred rupiah."

The goddess nodded her head in understanding. He also held out a bill of two million two hundred and he increased ten thousand rupiahs. "Well, I'll give ten thousand rupiah yes Kak to pay the interest on the loan."

Customer service was a little bit overwhelmed. "But this is too much Brother, because the procedures of our office are only about four thousand five hundred rupiah."

The goddess only gave a slight smile. "It's okay, brother. Let's just say this is my thank you because with this pawnshop, it can help me when I'm in a desperate condition."

Customer service nodded its head. "Thank you very much Brother."

"Sama-sama Brother. Then excuse me."

"Please Brother. Have a great day for you!"

The goddess moved from her position. He swung his legs to quickly leave the pawnshop office. With a smile, he stepped. In the end, the precious object of the mother's gift can be returned he got.

Along with the Goddess who had come out of the pawnshop, Hans saw entering this office. Without taking a queue number, the man immediately met one of the customer service who was here.

"Sorry sir, please take the queue number first!"

"So long ago, I wanted to ask."

Hans pulled out a macbook that was inside the bag he was carrying. He showed me a tape showing the face of the Goddess who was in the hospital the other day.

"Did the woman in this CCTV footage pawn valuables here?"

The forehead of customer service is a little cringing. "Yes sir, this woman in the CCTV footage did indeed pawn a necklace in our office."

A faint smile rose on Hans' lips. "May I redeem Mommy's necklace?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't."

"Why can't I. I'm one of this woman's families."

Hans is forced to lie to get the necklace that Kartika wants. Because according to him, this necklace will make Kartika happy.

"Just now the owner of this necklace has made it up, sir. So now the necklace is no longer in our pawnshop."

"What?"

"Yes sir, just got the owner of this necklace out of our office. Probably passed by you when you were out there."

Oh my... I lost fast...

For the sake of this part, the author is willing to reopen the memory of how to calculate interest in pawnshops. Although he used to major in Social Sciences, but it turns out he has forgotten how to count flowers like this. 😂😂😂
