Lovely Love

Impossible to Block

Losing the luxurious facilities that had been enjoyed did not make Gerdy broke charcoal. He had expected that to happen. So he prepared by saving. He had enough money to buy a new car. But he had to resist the ambition to own a luxury car. He needs to set aside money for Prilly's college entrance fee.

Nowadays, cars are not an urgent necessity. Gerdy can temporarily use an existing car because his wife does not go to work long enough, maternity leave. After that, just think to take credit or buy a used car.

Nadine suggested that we wait patiently for the car. Marliana's mother was willing to recruit Gerdy as a full-time employee after graduating from college. Just wait a few more months to enjoy the facilities provided.

The garage is not enough to accommodate three cars if Gerdy insists on having a private car.

"I'd rather open a basic business in front of the house" said Nadine. "In this housing there is no grocery store."

"Citizens are shopping to the mall to fulfill their prestige."

"I'm optimistic that the store promises that the price is competitive. They're certainly going to shop to the nearest store."

"There's no harm in trying. Just the location is not in front of the house, not enough. I'd like to rent a neighbor's garage because it's filled only with rickshaws by Mr. Marto, all of whom hire his wife to keep the shop."

"We leave the management of the store with Mami. He is less busy so much to sit dumbly if there is no television show that suits him."

"Mommy sits dumb not because of that. He's still thinking about Papi."

"Then we love busy with taking care of the store. I gave up trying to convince Mami that Papi was gone. Just where's the body and what's dead, it's unanswered."

"Because it has not been answered, then Mami believes Papi is still alive. It's free to convince him. Surya's last information there's no progress."

"I've already considered the completion of Papi's case."

"But Mami hasn't considered it finished. He still hopes Papi gets home. Moreover, the old house has been renovated. Mami wishes Papi would come home together to live in that house full of memories."

Nadine looked at her husband with a glance. "Katrin still calls you often?"

"I know from Surya."

"The house order must be my brother telling me."

"How do you want me?"

"I want you to always remember that Katrin wants to sleep with you!"

"Being in bed with you, it's both new, right?"

"How dare Katrin!"

"But I'm not."

"You told Mami that the old house has been renovated?"

"He heard my talk because on the load speaker let him hear what Katrin said."

"I hope you don't feel burdened by Mami's presence in this house."

"His circumstances do not burden me. His thoughts about Papi were burdening me. Mami's like she hasn't sincerely left because she needs real evidence. Where else do I have to go?"

"You can ask the help of the Grandfather. Many people. She's a sister-in-law."

"They know him no. How can you help me find? Papi's picture doesn't exist. Was he never photographed?"

"Pictured for what? Unless caught by the police there's a picture of him."

"Make mementos."

"Nothing to remember from Papi."

"And this is how it ends. I'm dizzy myself."

"So you're still in touch with Katrin?"

"He's your brother. I can't block the number."

It must fit Gerdy again outside, thought Nadine murky. Katrin never called if she was. What kind of sister ngebel sister-in-law playing cat-killingan?

"Did our mother just go home?" nadine asked her husband's opinion.

"How are you? He said he wanted to open a basic business and leave it to Mami for management."

"You have the heart Mami lives alone in the old house?"

"There's Mimin."

"Who helped you?"

"Prilly is a cook."

"Bags are not his responsibility. He's school business. Learn the right way. Let Mami and Mimin live in this house."

"Mommy might be able to find her own if she lives there."

"Where to look? Papi lost like swallowed by the earth. Never mind, Mami manages the store only. I'll talk to the owner of the house next door."

Mr. Mirza apparently did not mind and refused to accept the lease. He asked Gerdy to pay attention to Mr. Marto's family who occupied his house.

It is rare to find someone as good as Mr. Mirza in the capital. He came from a simple family before living the good life he is today. So he understood the hardships of the little people. He helped Mr. Marto's family from the burden of rent by staying in the house for free.

Mr. Mirza knows that the rickshaw family living in this housing must have difficulty interacting with the environment. He dared to take that decision because Mami's family had a social spirit like her. Mr. Marto's family so there are friends and helpers if there are difficulties.

Mr. Marto welcomed the plan to open this business. "I agree completely. My wife is ready to take care of the shop. I'm ready to drop the goods off at the spot."

"We'll look at the developments. Mr. Marto can help if we get customers. Mommy will take care of everything. I don't pay Mr. Marto and his wife, but a revenue sharing system, how?"

"I gave it to you, sir. The important thing is that the kitchen is bulging, the wife's child is not starving."

The little man of his dreams is also small, thought Gerdy wryly. How can it be a big guy if his brain is only limited to a bulging kitchen? But nevermind. He doesn't need big-minded people for this job, which is important to be honest.

"I heard from your wife about to open a grocery store, is that true?" mami asked when Gerdy came home from next door. "Have you thought about the prospect of opening a basic business in this housing? They just shop for onions to the mall, even though there are many stalls in front."

"Oh yeah, I haven't told Mami about this venture. I saw that Mommy hadn't come home."

"I walked around for a while with Mimin."

Gerdy knows Mami's not going for a walk. He's looking for Papi maybe in this town. The search was futile as the region was far from a satellite city.

"I think the prospects are good" said Gerdy optimistically. "I want Mami to run the store if you don't mind. I've contacted some wholesalers and they're ready to send stuff."

"I don't mind. I just need to learn because I've never opened a business."

"There is nothing special to learn. Marketing business Mami's son is an expert."

"He's marketing beauty tools, nothing to do."

"Learn from later experience."

Gerdy thinks it's not hard to manage a grocery store. A calculator is enough. The difficult is to find customers, how to attract their interest to come to the store.

"Open a grocery store requires a fairly large capital," said Mami. "Do you have any money for Prilly's college entrance fee?"

"I've prepared for that. Mom just calm down. Gratitude Prilly can enter through the path of achievement, the cost is cheaper."

"I don't want you to be overwhelmed. I can ask Katrin to help."

"My wife would disagree."

Asking Katrin for help means defeat for Nadine. Prilly has to live in a satellite town. Gerdy didn't want that to happen. If necessary, find a loan at the office.

Sister brother's tension due to the scandal has actually subsided because the culprit had gone from home. Their relationship is heated again because Katrin's words are as good as her stomach.

Katrin's desire to sleep with her husband really made her go up. Though the one who fussed over ayem. Think of the wind.

Gerdy refuses to block the sister-in-law number because of his many interests, especially the Papi issue. He did not receive enough information from Surya. He needs to seek information from the family so that there is no lawsuit in case something unwanted happens.

Mami still pays great attention to the case of Papi's disappearance. Her three children don't care. They are one view with the citizens; let it go for ever.

Deep down, Gerdy was actually curious. He knows Papi's the scum of society, but that doesn't mean he deserves to die. Everyone deserves to live even if that person has to die!

Which makes him wonder how Papi left without anyone knowing?
