The man was at a loss for words. He had not expected the young man to pay with that much gold. All his life, he had only seen so much pure gold. In fact, the appearance of a piece of gold in its original form, only that time he saw it directly.
For a while the man was immersed in admiration for the gold coin he was holding, until Ken cleared his throat to bring it back to the real world.
"Eh, sorry, but we do not accept payment in any form other than Yen money, therefore it is better if this gold coin is sold first can only be used" explained the man.
"But I have to sell to where, I don't know," Ken replied innocently.
"Oh, I know the place! Not far from here. Here, I'll tell you the place" replied one of the prospective buyers. He pulled out a piece of paper and drew a map.
From the store seller's man as well the young man got the exact price of both stores and then Ken left. The man looked at the prospective buyers. "Sorry, it looks like the remaining stores will be bought by the youngster it's all."
"It's okay. What can we do if the young man's offer is more profitable for you" the woman replied.
The man was also confused where the young man could get that much gold coins but he did not want to bother. As long as the sales were smooth, he would also make a huge profit from these sales.

"Grandmother, I'm home" cried Ken when he got home.
Grandma was surprised. "Tumben you're home fast, Ken. You're not sick, are you?" The old woman was worried. He's out of the kitchen.
"Sir, come here for a while" take the young man to a short table in the middle of the room.
Grandma sat with him beside the table.
Ken took out a pile of money from inside his backpack which left the grandmother flabbergasted. "This is Grandma, I loaned money by a friend to open a business."
Grandma still gawked for a while. "It's true money loaned to your friend? You didn't steal it, did you, Ken?"
"No, Grandma. So my friend wanted to help the orphanage, but just giving money would never be enough. So he proposed to me to make an effort for the orphanage, so that there is an endless turnover of money and can maintain the continuity of the orphanage.
But the money given in my opinion is too much and also risky if only one effort. That's why I bought 2 shops. One for the orphanage and one for the grandmother, so if at any time the orphanage run business went bankrupt, 'there will still be a store run by Grandma."
"What do you mean, grandma doesn't understand, Ken? Why was Grandma given this free shop? Did he not lose?" The old woman grew more and more confused.
"Not that, Grandma. So Grandma was asked to manage any business with a store. The effort that Grandma could. Well, the profits are split in half with the orphanage. The term, the orphanage lent capital to Grandma to open a business. This is money for Grandma to buy more necessary items for sale. Ken hope this is enough for Grandma's capital to sell."
"But what about the garden and the rice fields?"
"'And Grandma can hire people to take care of her, right?"
Grandma could hardly believe hearing it. It's like a collapsed durian. The old woman's net is now glazed. He hugged his grandson tightly. "What a good friend is that? Give her my grandmother's gratitude, will you?" The old woman put her face on her grandson's face.
"I wish mom and dad would go home to help Grandma at the store."
"Mmh, grandma will ask them, what store is suitable to be managed together."
Although the woman was not her grandmother but her tears still fell seeing the woman tearfully staring at her. The young man hugged her warmly.

The car stopped in a quiet place and was a little dim. The man turned off the car lights.
"Eh, why are we stopping here?" Ask the girl in astonishment. "Aren't we going to a meeting?"
"Before that we made a deal first." The man put his fingers together.
"Yes, because of that, now is the time." The man brought himself closer to Mira.
The innocent girl was astonished by the attitude that the man displayed. "What do you want, sir?"
The man grabbed the girl's waist bravely. "Of course you are."
"What?" Mira pushed the man's body violently but the man was more eager to hug her. At that time, the girl tilted her body and made her elbow a weapon to beat the body and also the face of the man with 2 quick attacks.
"Am ..agh!"
So that the man's grip slipped off. "You!" said furious. "The orphanage can't survive without my help, remember that! So if you don't serve me, I won't help them!" threaten that girl.
"Fuck up! Helping that man is noble. How can it mix with this kind of demonic work, mmmh?!" denounce the girl fiercely. He immediately opened the car door.
"Eits, think again. Once you get out, you won't be able to beg me again, miss!" threaten the man again while pointing his index finger.
Mira stays out and closes. He looked at the man with perfectly round eyes from the window glass with certainty. "Goodbye, dear Mr Kawaki!" And he left the car on foot.
The man snorted.
----------+++--------
The girl stepped alone in the cold night air. He was confused and also upset. As Ken said that the man had evil intentions for him, but on the other hand he also had to think about the survival of the orphanage. Now, he is confused where else to ask for help.
"Mira?" Ken came on his bike. "Why are you out here all night?" The young man got off the bike.
Not welcome, the girl was crying.
"Lho, Mirah. What's up?"
The girl approached and beat the young man's body weakly. "Why is Big Brother coming now, why? He said Big Brother will protect Mira, Big brother lied! Huuu ...."
"Mira, what's wrong with you?" ask Ken gently. He tried to hold the girl even though there was still a small resistance, but slowly the girl lay her head on the chest of the field of the young man. "Mira ... Brother is sorry if you're wrong?"
The girl now holds the young man and hides his face in Ken's athletic body. He tried to calm the turmoil of himself that still continues to overflow.
Ken let the girl vent her feelings. Sometimes he rubbed the girl's head gently until finally the girl's cry stopped. "Where are you going?"
Mira didn't say. He went on strike.
"Yes already. Emh, I want to go home because I just bought medicine for a sore grandmother's leg. You wanna come?"
The girl nodded though still hiding her face in the young man's body.
"Then, you big brother bells behind, will you? Or in front?"
The girl hit Ken's arm spoiled with her mouth pursed.
The young man laughed. "Yes already. Yuk!"
The girl was hugging in the back. As the young man was pedaling a bicycle, Mira hugged the young man's waist and leaned her head there. His heart is now at peace.
