Reply 50 Thousand Dollars
“Don't pretend to be stupid, Mama! I've replaced your son in prison for eight years with torture and now you're saying I don't have any return? Watch out if you bother me again!”
“Hai, Lin! I don't know what will happen in the future if one day we meet, I can't promise not to bother you, unless you pay me 50 thousand dollars in return, do you understand?”
“True, if I pay you 50,000 then, you will not bother me, and will not interfere in my affairs again with your son, that?”
“Yes I promise!” Rauja said excitedly. Then, he returned home and Lintani went to the brick printing press by taking a bus directly from there.
Lintani works at the place like yesterday, this time carrying a large plastic bag containing clothes instead, food and also drawing tools. A woman who yesterday helped, back doing the same thing, she put a bad-smelling powder on her cheek.
It is a traditional powder made from mashed rice, keeping the skin from black when under the hot sun like this. All the women there had scolded him, even though he had covered their heads with a wide round hat.
Lintani comes home after work and spends her dinner at the printing press. He had also changed his clothes in the toilet with the ones there. He walked alone down the sidewalk as all his friends came home with his own invitation. He smiled as he counted the money growing a little.
Suddenly Lintani's footsteps came to a halt as a Mercy stopped beside her.
“Hai, Lin! What kind of coincidence is this?” said a voice of a man who came out quickly from the vehicle.
“Hai, Pet! You, is that it?” lintani was half surprised.
“Yes. It´s me! Where have you been? I dropped you off this afternoon at Mr. Lux's house and now you're here counting the money!”
“Yes, I just finished working!”
“You work here?” Petra was a little surprised, because she did not know that Lintani was working rough in one of her efforts. The factory was his because he chose to pursue a different field from his father, although, he remained the heir to the training center.
“Ya!”
Petra didn't want to know any further, about the girl because she wasn't so close yet that she didn't push herself.
“You want to go home? Let me drop you off, Mr. Lux definitely doesn't like you coming home late at night.”
“I don't live there!”
“Where? I can take you anywhere, come on!”
“No need. I can walk from here. Not far.”
Petra replied, A black Bantley appeared and stopped suddenly right in front of Petra's car. Then, look at Askelan coming down from there. Without a permit, he pulls Lintani's hand and takes her in, after Jordan opens the door. His movements were gentle but so agile that Petra could do no more.
‘Askel? What does this have to do with Lin? Oh my God .. If I have a problem with a man, why should a man like him!’ Petra cursed in his heart.
In the car
“You have the status of a wife but dare to be alone with another man in front of your husband? Huh!” askelan said while gripping Lintani's chin firmly, while one hand was coiled around the girl's back.
Jordan noticed what Askelan was doing from the front rearview mirror with a wrinkled face.
Then Lintani took off Askelan's hand from her chin while saying, “It's none of your business!”
“As long as you are listed as my wife, it will be my business, let alone you with that man!”
“Enough!” Lintani pushed Askelan firmly and she managed to break away and shifted to sit by the window.
“We have promised not to interfere in each other's affairs, including your desire to marry Haifa, I don't care!”
“Are you jealous if I marry her?”
‘Cih! How come? Just make him!’ inner Lintani.
“Where is such a thing, Sir! You don't expect me to be jealous either, do you?”
“Ya, of course ...” said Askelan while leaning her head, her voice sounded disappointed.
“I know, you didn't expect that from a woman like me, did you?” Lintani said with a loud laugh, as if she wanted to let go of the impingement on her chest.
Arriving at home, the three men got out of the car like they did not know each other. Askelan walked in front, after Jordan who was carrying a large package, then Lintani who was quite far from them.
Auntie Mo welcomed the arrival of the house occupants with tired faces, she had been waiting for Lintani since the afternoon for additional duties. Askelan forbade the woman to come home to help Lintani try on a wedding dress.
Lintani saw something that Jordan brought, she was so surprised to see the contents and immediately brought the wedding dress to her room, while hearing an explanation from Mo. He immediately cleaned himself up, and came out with just a towel covering his body.
Mo's movements were so deft as he prepared the dress that Lintani easily wore it. She smiled as she looked at her reflection in the mirror, looking so different even without makeup, with her head decorated with only a small towel wrapped around her wet hair.
“Aibi, now try to please raise the zipper, I can't!” lintani said, after being satisfied looking in the mirror. He was amazed by Elliyat's beautiful clothes.
“Aibi ..!” Lintani again called Mo who had suddenly disappeared.
Tampa Lintani realized, Mo came out of his room and called Askelan who was sitting in the living room alone.
While Jordan had been gone since earlier, after handing over the bridal gown parcel to Lintani, that meant that her task today was done.
Aunt Mo, was already impatient to show Askelan a beautiful sight, a man who had lived for a long time only by himself.
Mo said, “Master, you should see this!” he smiled as he led Askelan with him into Lintani's unfinished room buttoning her clothes.
“Do Miss need any more help?” mo asked, guiltlessly making Lintani embarrassed half to death. How not, the shirt was open the back up to the hips, and he had not worn underwear. Of course Askelan could see it, but she remained flat as if the sight before her meant nothing.
Lintani understood that men like Askelan would not be attracted to her, so she brushed aside the shame, turning around, facing Askelan.
“Auntie, why bring Mister here, I, would be ashamed!” she said with a sweet smile and glanced at Mo, she knew that whatever happened at home, the woman would tell Elliyat, so she had to keep acting.
