Dear The Ex

Dear The Ex
Fly to the Capital



I wiped my tears as he patted my shoulder


"If you get married tell papa ya Ntan, papa must come"


Back I could only nod when he said that and waved my hand as the car he was driving pulled back from my parents' yard


My mother took a deep breath when she saw me rubbing my face rough


"Have not cried again, go to work, precisely with this you must be enterprising, prove that you can succeed"


I turned to look at my mother then I nodded then turned towards my father who also nodded definitely towards me


"Then Intan goes, buk" said my saying while kissing the back of my parents' hands


Immediately I got on the motorbike and drove to the highway to the shophouse where I am now


It didn't take long, though, about five minutes I had arrived at the shop where I saw my sister with her two friends were busy arranging the room assisted by some construction workers who I asked to help make the bulkhead in this room


"The expedition car is already on the road" said my sister when she saw me enter


I only answered short and then immediately went up to save proof of the agreement and also proof of bank receipts and money that was given by his father mas Arif


Before putting the envelope into the closet, I opened it and looked at the contents


I smiled when I looked and found out the number


"Five million, you can pay for the school fees of the children" I smiled with relief as I put the envelope in the closet and locked it


When I came down the stairs I saw a boxcar coming in and being directed by my sister's friend to make it easier for them to help bring things down


I immediately took a photo of my employees and the expedition person who was dropping off the goods and then made it status in my social media and also what's app status


The next few minutes some incoming messages congratulated and delighted them on my new venture


And on a whim I see anyone who sees what's status of my app, and my heart immediately thumped when I found out if any of Mario's names saw the status I shared


Somehow now, it's been almost two months that I never knew the news, and we didn't send messages at all even just asking how we were doing


Missing is certain, but I must be able to endure it, I do not want my heart that has forgiven the situation back to the ravine as it used to be


So cool of you, want to show off?


I was stunned to read the incoming message from Tasya


"Oh my God, the woman is still hostile to me even though I have complied with her desire to release her brother" I muttered while deleting a message from her


I don't want the message to break my spirit this afternoon. I have to be optimistic and cheerful because it also has a positive effect on me


Immediately I helped my employees and the expedition officer put things into the store


After everything was done, I again helped my sister and her friend sort out the package and make a report if the package is in transit at my place


While I was busy teaching my sister to press the package report, my phone rang, a video call from Pak Uki


His call was answered immediately


"I saw the post already in the shop?"


"Yes, sir, this is." I replied by directly distributing the phone to the entire room.


"How about mbak, smoothly?"


"Alhamdulillah sir.." I added.


"Look, I was going to the largest shopping center in the country, down directly looking for cheap goods agents that I can offer the same mbak"


My eyes immediately rounded to hear his words that seemed unmitigated in helping me


Then he began to tell me all kinds of household furniture, clothes to accessories he had got it stay me any time there was time to meet him


"How about the day after the pack I went there?, if tomorrow can not because I have to take care of the package that just entered"


"Have, later when mbak want to leave I share loc my place or later I ask people to pick up mbak in the air port"


I agreed and our conversation ended


Ibrahim turned his head towards me and he looked seriously at me


"Lusa big brother has to go to the capital, see Pak Uki, you can rely on brother right?"


Ibrahim nodded for sure after I told him the reason I met Mr. Uki


"Begging for prayers and support on deck." I said, clutching his shoulder. And Ibrahim nodded as he stroked my head that was attached to his shoulder


"Our prayers are always with you, brother, we don't want you to be sad anymore, whatever you want to do for your sake we always support you and will always be there for you"


I was more moved to hear the words of my youngest brother, I did not think he was grown and wise once said


"Now you teach me again, so you can focus on other businesses"


I nodded then came back we were both staring at the laptop screen while my two employees were busy choosing the package they were going to deliver tomorrow


At lunch, I asked Ibrahim to buy rice packs, and almost an hour later Ibrahim returned with the reason where to buy the rice is good


"Sister, why don't you open the news as well?" said Rian, one of my employees when we ate


"Repot Yan, you can't cook strangely" I replied


"If you want to, my mother is smart to cook and often told to cook at a celebration event, so let my mother just cook"


Ibrahim and Dani chuckled at Rian's suggestion


"Smart you are." replied my sister as she struck Rian's arm.


"Will big brother think of Yan your idea, it seems like a good idea" I replied to the three of them who beat each other up


Until tomorrow, the shophouse where my business is really finished and neat


Dani and Rian are ready with their respective motors to deliver the package to their owners


And I contacted Mr. Bayu to tell him that tomorrow I will go to the capital to see Mr. Uki, whether he wants to come along or if there are items he wants to leave


Dani I asked to stop by Mr. Bayu's house when I was told he had an item he would leave for Mr. Uki


And this morning, early in the morning I had woken up and prepared breakfast for my two children and my employees because at nine o'clock I had to go to the airport, because my flight was scheduled to fly at eleven o'clock in the afternoon


"You sleep in the shophouse, take care of the shophouse" I asked Ibrahim and his two friends when I was about to take a taxi


Both of my children I have entrusted to both my parents, so that when they return home from the public transportation school they immediately take both of my children to my parents' house


Now, it's time for me to board the plane that will take me to the capital, before boarding I've sent Mr. Uki a message, if the plane that brought me will take off soon


The next hour and a half the plane that took me was landing and I was down


Since this is the first time I've set foot in the biggest city of the country, I'm quite clueless as well


"Mr Intan?"


I immediately looked back where stood a tall, pure white-faced man with wavy black hair rather curly and white glasses


"Sir Uki?" I'm not sure because he's very different from the video call


The man nodded as he extended his hand which I welcomed by extending my hand as well
