My Husband and the Woman

CHAPTER XI COOPERATION

            Resti heard that and then ventured to ask again,

            “Mbak Winda is married again?”  ask him once again, because the question had not been answered by Vinda.

            “Neither or rather not yet. I haven't thought about Res. You see, I am quite happy with my current situation” replied Winda.

            Winda saw there was confusion on Resti's face, Winda thought that Resti still wanted to ask but did not dare, so Winda then said again, saying again,

            “Begini Res, I'll tell you. But I hope you don't tell Ardi whatever happened”.

            Resti simply fell silent, digesting the words of Winda. Then nodded weakly.

            Winda took a deep breath and said,

            “When I left Ardi's house, I found out that I was 5 months pregnant. Because I felt I could no longer afford to be there, let alone that woman was also pregnant. I didn't feel right there so I went home and gave birth to my son without Ardi. To meet my needs, I created my own online shop. Because I was 32 years old at the time, no one would accept me for work. Especially I'm being

hamil besar” Winda tells his story to Resti so that Resti does not misunderstand Arjuna.

            Resti's eyes glazed over. His tongue was so twisted that he was unable to speak. After a moment of silence, Resti began to promise that he would not tell Arjuna about Ardi.

            Rahma also heard all the stories told by Vinda, so all the questions that had been in her mind had been answered already.

            After a long conversation and the time has shown at 13:47, Resti began to say goodbye to Winda because he still had to go back to the store and report all the results he got from the Purple Shop today.

            .................................

            Arriving at Luhur Shop, Resti began looking for Ardi with the intention of wanting to immediately report the results of his conversation with the Purple Shop owner.

            “Mas Arwhere is Sil?” resti said to one of the employees.

            “O is at Ma'am's house. Are you done, Mommy?”

            “Iya, please call dong. I'm sorry to see Mr. Putri” said Resti rather cynical.

            “Ih Mbak Resti, later if heard the Boss you” said Silvi reminded.

            “Lagian why the hell Mbak Resti dateng-dateng instantly angry that?” silvi asked astonished at Resti's unusual behavior.

            “Well I'll tell you all. The important thing is to call Mas Ardi first yes. You are important ni” replied Resti hurriedly.

            “Let's do the job I told you. Story something interesting” said Resti again.

            Then Silvi hurriedly searches for Ardi to Ardi's house. At home, Ardi was chatting with Bimo and Mina.

            “Mas Ardi” call Silvi carefully afraid Ardi angry because of being disturbed while being engrossed in chatting with his family.

            “Yes? What's up?”

            “Mbak Resti has arrived. Said he wanted a report now”.

            “Yes, you go to the store first. Later you call all the employees, tell my office a meeting. Except Rafi, let him keep the store in case anyone wants to buy ya”.

            Then Resti returned to the store and invited all employees to gather in Ardi's room for a meeting.

            After Ardi arrived at his room, all the employees had gathered waiting for him. He immediately sat down with other employees and then immediately asked Resti.

            “Where are the results of field work today Res?” ask Ardi.

            Then Resti immediately told all the information he got to Ardi and all other employees except information about Arjuna.

            All the employees and Ardi were shocked to hear that. Then Ardi said,

            “How do you think Res? Can we work with Winda?” tanyakanya.

            “As far as Mas Ardi, I don't know” he said timidly.

            “I asked, do you think it is better to work with Purple Shop or not? Don't be afraid to think. Others can also argue”.

            “Then according to Mas Ardi how?” ask Resti back.

            Ardi who heard those words became confused. Because he really wanted to work with the Purple Shop. But it turns out the Purple Shop owner is Winda, that's another thing. Ardi fell silent, even with other employees.

            Then Resti opened his voice,

            “If in my opinion, cooperation with Purple Shop can be profitable Mas Ardi, in addition to the goods are quite good, the price is also quite good. Sister Winda can be trusted anyway. And in the past when held by Mbak Winda this store was also nike”. Resti replied and he was a bit shocked because his last sentence was slipping. Afraid Ardi was angry, Resti then quietly lowered his head.

            Ardi let out a long breath. True also said Resti, his online shop from the beginning does belong to Winda. Winda made an online shop and developed it and he realized he had nothing to contribute until his online store was this big.

            Looking at Ardi who was looking down without saying anything, Resti then said again,

            “Mbak Winda would like to work with this store if I handle everything related to Purple Shop Mas. He did not want Mas Ardi who handled this cooperation because Mbak Winda did not want to happen misunderstanding between Mas Ardi and Mbak Mina later”.

            Ardi was still lowered, and hearing Resti's words his heart became stifled. He was confused as to how. If not cooperation, what is the fate of online stores and their employees. But if

cooperation, what if Mina finds out...... Ardi could only take a deep breath.

            “How do others think?” finally, Ardi opened the conversation again.

            “I went with Mas how good” said Bowo

            “If I am Yes Mas” Silvi agree.

            While other employees only listen, do not dare to speak to express opinions.

            “Iya how? Follow or agree to cooperate with Winda?”

            Then they fell silent again.

            “Ya already, well thought out first. 1 week away we meet again ya discuss this. Please think

alright ya” said Ardi.

            Then all the employees left but Ardi called Resti to stay. After Resti, Ardi asked,

            “What is the state of Winda Res? He's fine, right?” ask him to Resti.

            “Iya Mas, alkhamdulillah well aj”

            “Have a husband again or already have a girlfriend yet she?” oops, because Ardi was too curious so he

slip-ups.

            “Not yet Mas, Ms. Winda is still traumatized as it looks. He also said he was comfortable with his situation. I've been a successful woman, have. Less success now, especially?”

resti said a bit sarcastically to Ardi. Resti was almost overwhelmed about Arjuna.

            Ardi was silent, right too. He without men can be successful.... Ardi was silent and no longer spoke.

            Resti, not afraid but even like hating Ardi because he remembered his treatment first to Vinda. Then because Ardi was silent, Resti said goodbye to Ardi.

            Ardi who heard Resti say goodbye from his office just kept quiet and just nodded his head to let Resti out of his office.

            After leaving Ardi's room, Silvi calls him and bills Resti's promise to tell him about the state of Vinda.
