My Husband and the Woman

CHAPTER VIII OF THE MESSAGE

    That night, Ardi could not close his eyes. He's so restless. He thought about Winda, he felt like he missed her a lot. In the face of HP that is in his grasp. Out of the room, then sit on the terrace. He sighed loudly, inhaling and exhaling heavily. He was eager to stop his desire to contact Winda. He pulled the hair with both hands so that the desire to contact Winda was gone. But that desire cannot be lost. Then he typed the sentence

'How are you?' at his cell he sent it. In the contact is written the name of the wife.

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

    While breastfeeding Arjuna, Winda heard his HP ringing. He took his HP and stared in disbelief at what he saw. The message came from an unnamed number, but she still clearly remembered that it belonged to Ardi, her ex-husband.

    Winda looked at the clock, and it showed 23:11. Then with a trembling hand he read the message sent by Ardi.

'How are you?'

    I wanted Winda to immediately reply to the message, but the intention was undone. There was still a hurt feeling in his heart. But the longing he felt for Ardi was also great.

Winda started typing the message, but the intention was undone. He was confused whether he would reply or not. Hope to start again with Ardi arises. But he also did not want to be hurt a second time.

Winda put his HP down. She tries to close her eyes with Arjuna beside her. However, the attempt failed, because Arjuna followed anxiously by letting out his cries.

    In the morning, Winda tried to neutralize his heart so that Arjuna did not get anxious. Then he replied to a message from Ardi, who,

'I'm fine' she replied.

    Then Winda started his morning by babysitting Arjuna and started selling. Although in his heart he still expected a reply from Ardi, but he tried to pull him aside as much as possible. Because Ardi already loves others and not himself.

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

    After sending a message to Winda he quickly wanted to withdraw his message. But Winda has already opened the message. Why is this hour Winda has not slept he thought. Ardi looked at his HP back and saw that Winda was typing which signaled Winda would reply to his message. But the long-awaited message did not come either. Ardi was frenetic because Winda did not reply to his message.

    "Is there a clock like this that hasn't slept?"  tanya Mina who woke up to breastfeed Bimo and saw Ardi was not there beside her. After she finished breastfeeding Bimo Mina out of the room and saw Ardi's angry face.

    "It's okay" replied Ardi ketus.

    Mina was shocked to hear Ardi's reply, though,

    "What's the problem, man?" ask Mina again.

    Ardi realized that his tone to Mina was ketus, because he was carried away with his anger because Winda did not return the message. Then he started to soften his voice.

    "Nothing, just sleep first. I thought of another quiet shop" he said.

    Mina believes in Ardi, because lately the shop has become quieter than usual. Mina does not expect that Ardi sends a message to Vinda thinking that Ardi loves her too much because she can already give Ardi a child that she has long been waiting for, which she cannot give. Mina thinks that who would want to be with a woman who cannot have offspring without knowing what really happened in their family life first.

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

    In the morning, Ardi began his activities in the store and began calling his employees for a sudden meeting. Ardi wants to discuss why his online shop has lately become less attractive to buyers.

Not long after, his employees were already in Ardi's room to start the meeting.

    "Someone knows why our 3-month-old store is becoming more and more deserted? tanyakanya.

All were silent no one dared to answer.

    "Let's answer. I asked nicely and was not angry. I'm just here for evaluation, who knows if something's wrong in our store. Maybe not people but maybe we choose the wrong things and others. Many factors. I don't blame you so please evaluate or at least find out why our store could be deserted"

"We started losing customers" said Resti, who manages online financial bookkeeping.

"Do you mean that many customers are switching to other stores or our goods are less in demand?" ask Ardi.

"Anu Mas, here it is." said Resti hesitantly.

    Ardi just looked at Resti and waited for Resti's answer without saying anything.

    Resti ventured to report what 1 month he had with other employees to find out about why his shop had become quiet.

    "Look at Mas, we've been wondering to subscriptions that are already familiar with us. They tell us that there are things we are not interested in or they assume that our goods are not so interesting, but that was indeed from the past there were times when we sold goods that were less desirable. But in addition there are also those who say that there is one online store in our area selling at a lower price.And online shop named 'Purple Shop'. His online shop was in the T area" Resti was silent for a moment to look at the expression and hear his Boss' response.

    Ardi fell silent, and looked at Resti then said,

"Try, I want to see the online shop 'Purple Shop'" he said.

Resti nimbly then typed 'Purple Shop' on his laptop to see the appearance of his rival store.

    "This is Mas" said Resti while handing over his laptop to Ard.

   Ardi saw the appearance of the 'Purple Shop' on the laptop and saw the merchandise and prices. He saw the address on his shop. While thinking he saw his employees.

    "Some one knows whose shop this is? This is about 1 hour from here. Has anyone tried to look there yet?" said.

    All the employees looked at each other before replying,

"Not yet" they said in unison.

   "Then, I ask one of you to go there. Do not worry, the departure can be during working hours and is not counted as absent. Who can and will go there?" ask Ardi to his employees. He only wanted to look at the 'Purple Shop' store just to correct, then correct his mistake.

    "I'm just Mas" said Resti volunteered.

    " Yes, today's meeting we continue after Resti went to 'Purple Shop' yes. O y Res, to go there you take funds from cash for travel expenses and eat yes. In addition, if you can get acquainted with the owner, who knows, you can be invited to cooperate if the price is suitable". After saying so, the Ardi employees immediately came out of Ardi's room and continued their work.

    While Ardi saw his HP which turned out there was a reply message from Winda. Ardi became excited again, then hurriedly opened HP to see the message from Winda.
