Delayed Happy
Chapter 17's
Two people were walking with their hands tightly holding each other. The little girl clasped tightly onto the middle-aged man's hand beside her while walking slowly adjusting the man's steps.
They continued walking until they arrived in front of a simple stall right in front of the market.
The place is quite strategic because it is right in front of the market. So every morning or lunch hour the stall will be crowded with people who want to fill their hungry stomachs.
“Munda.” Call the little girl.
At once the woman who was delivering orders to the visitor turned around
“Naya, dad.” Reply to the woman.
The little girl ran to hug her feet.
“Mother, Naya hungry.” Whiney the little girl.
“Bunda's child is hungry yes, wait a minute mommy get me a meal.” Answer the woman called Mother.
“Daddy sit with Naya first yes. Vina wants to go back and eat for dad Naya.” The woman who turned out to be Vina.
“Iya nak.” Answer the Father.
After giving birth to the child, a few months later Vina opened a small business that sells food in front of her house.
The beginning of his business was not all smooth running, many obstacles that he experienced. Starting from the nyinyinyiran people who do not like him until Vina ever slandered using a seller on her food because many buyers who come to buy her food.
But thanks to Vina's prayers and patience, her business has skyrocketed from selling only in front of the house until Vina can rent a simple place to continue her current business.
“Happy meal.” Vina said as she placed two rice plates in front of Adi and the little girl who became one of the Vina factors persisted until now.
“Thank you mother.” Sahut Naya which makes Vina anxious.
After delivering food to his loved ones, Vina returned to the back to clean some dirty dishes so that it could be used again when other visitors came.
Vina did not hire people to help her, that was why Vina did everything herself.

Somewhere else.
Devan and Viko had just come out of a restaurant, and they had come to meet their new co-workers. Today Devan's company got a big project from the government to renovate a market in the countryside.
The market was deliberately renovated because the government wanted to provide a comfortable place for sellers and buyers. The market will also be used for progress and economic growth in the village.
Because of the large budget, Devan's company is willing to accept the cooperation even though the location is far from the city.
“Where is the place? I didn't hear what they explained.” Devan said without sin.
You never hear what others present, sir, always your mind is somewhere else. Cibir Viko was upset in the heart.
“Let's just you representing the company to go review that location with them.” Devan continued before hearing Viko's reply.
“Good sir.” Answer Viko obediently.
Devan and Viko got into the car, not long after the car drove away from the restaurant.

In the afternoon Vina walked home with a bushel in her hand.
After closing the stall, Vina had time to cook some food for their dinner at home.
As Vina was walking while enjoying the view of the village, suddenly a motorbike stopped right beside her.
“Vin, want to go home? I'll drop ya.” Bargain of a man.
“No Frans, thank you. I want to walk, all of you want to enjoy the view as well.” Reject Vina.
Not without reason Vina refused the man, because Frans until Vina had been hit by some village girls who did not accept to see Vina approached by Frans.
Vina just nodded.
After Frans moved away, Vina again continued her steps to go home.
Arriving at the front door of the house, Vina faintly heard the voice of the little girl laughing from behind.
“Vinaya must be pranking dad in the back. My little nosy girl.” Vina muttered with a smile on her lips.
Vina is grateful to be able to give birth to a beautiful little angel like Naya, thanks to their Naya family in full of warmth and happiness. Every day, Naya's behavior makes them laugh.
“I'm home.” Shouted Vina from the front door.
“Munda.” Reply Naya shouted back to welcome the return of the mother.
Not long ago Adi appeared from behind.
“Naya, let your bundle sit down first.” Adi's word comes from behind.
“Yes mother sit first, mother must be tired huh? Want Naya to incandescent her legs?” The little girl was understanding.
“Bunda's son is indeed the best.” Praise Vina.
The woman walked over and put a crack on the table and sat down. As if he understood, Naya immediately rested under the feet of the mother while her small hands hit her feet slowly.
“How was it at the stall?” Adi asked while sitting next to Vina.
“Quite crowded dad.” Answer Vina.
“Oh yes, just there Vina heard people say there will be a market renovation.” Vina continued speaking.
“Basic renovation? That's good, so the economy in this village can develop and progress.” Adi explained.
“Iya Well. It was also a great opportunity for Vina, with this renovation automatically it could be the workers came and ate at our stalls.” Vina was excited.
Adi is happy to see her now child, there is no more a moody and aloof Vina harboring her sadness that now exists only a strong and happy Vina.
So far Adi has never mentioned the father of Naya. Adi was afraid that it would reopen the wounds of his son's past, that's why until now Adi did not know the appearance or name of the man who had impregnated his son.

Devan just arrived at his house.
There is Bayu who is sitting watching the news, during this activity Bayu just eat, sleep, watch.
His body is not as healthy as it used to be.
“Papa.” Sapa Devan while walking over to Bayu.
Devan lands his tired body next to Bayu.
“All auntie make warm tea for you so that the fatigue in your body can be slightly reduced.” Sayu is attentive.
“Do you not want to find a life partner?” Bayu continued to ask.
“No. Devan will still be waiting for Vina.” Words that Devan always issued if Bayu asked about life companion.
“What if it turns out Vina is married?”
Deg.
This sentence Devan had never thought of before.
“This has been too long Devan, until now you have not been able to find the woman. You also need someone beside you to take care of your messed up life.” Keep Bayu.
Is Vina married to someone else?
Devan did not care what Bayu said just now, his mind was now in turmoil because of hearing what Bayu said earlier about Vina.
