My wife's lover

chapter 13

Mr. Anop and I arrived at the shop where I was working a little late. I think Mr. Toni will be angry. I can only give up.

I did see Mr. Toni's face flat when looking at me. I wanted to explain to him but Mr. Anop hurriedly wanted to talk to him. I then talked to Mr. Toni about Mr. Anop who wanted to buy goods in his shop.

Then they talked both. I went back to work as usual. And soon Budi asked me to send the goods to the buyer.

Until I got home, I was ready to pick up my bike in the parking lot close to my boss' parked car. When I was about to pedal my bike, suddenly the boss called me.

"Antos. Here, you!" call him.

Deg. My heart is pounding irregularly. I'm ready if the boss scolds me as long as I don't get fired. I still want to work in his shop. Looking for orders in the workshop is just my side because I just started it.

I rushed over to the boss so that he wouldn't get more upset with me, "Yes, boss," I said when I was nearby.

"Create you" he said, handing me a white envelope. I was shocked. Am I fired? My studies are still long.

"Boss? I-I'm sorry boss. I promise I won't get permission again. But please don't fire me, boss," I said begging.

Just started looking for additional income eh my main income should instead stop.

"Who wants to fire you, To?" tanyanya.

I scrunched my forehead. So the boss didn't fire me! Then this envelope, what? I asked in my heart.

"Then what is this, boss? I'll payday is still a long time," I asked in wonder.

"You're it. That's a bonus for you for taking the buyer to my store."

"Buyer? Oh, was Anop's father the boss?"

Boss Toni nodded, "Yes. He bought a lot. Tomorrow morning, you deliver the same order. Nothing is wrong!"

My eyes shine. A smile immediately fell on my lips.

"So? Mr. Anop has bought a lot in the store and I got this bonus, boss?" I still don't believe it.

"Yes! Just often invite the seller to buy in my store, To. You'll get even more bonuses" boss Toni promised me.

"Good,bos!" i'm excited. Of course I'll be even more excited.

"Yes, come home!" later decree.

I rushed home. Actually I want to travel first like yesterday-yesterday who knows how to get sustenance again but I remember Andre, my son was his shoes were broken. I want to buy him with the money that Toni gave him.

Arriving at my mother's house, I saw my two children watching tv with their grandmother and cousin. They looked and smiled, realizing my arrival.

I took a shower and went to the mosque to pray Maghrib with my son. After the mosque, the dining table has dinner. Mother cooked asem vegetables and salted fish along with tofu tempe that was still warm made my appetite increase.

After eating, I just want to open the white envelope that was loved by boss Toni.

"Alhamdulillah," I said gratefully. There are six blue notes.

I then approached my son, "Mas Andre, his shoes are broken, right? Come on, we're going to a market near here looking for your shoes!" take me to my firstfruits.

His eyes immediately sparkled, "Right, huh?" tanyanya did not believe.

"Really,donk! Come on you get ready. Get jackets!" my word.

He went to his grandmother's room to get a jacket.

I then approached my mother, "Mom, here's some extra money for shopping" I said, giving my mother two blue notes.

"Well, don't you want to buy Andre new shoes?" ask mom wonder.

"There's still a coke, ma'am. I got sustenance earlier," I explained.

"Yes thank you, son. May you have much sustenance and barokkah. Aaminn," she prayed sincerely.

"Aamiin," I said.

I then sat next to the youngest, "Alya lives with grandma first yes, dad want to buy Andre mas shoes. Poor shoes are broken" I told the youngest. He nodded then smiled.

I then went to meet Andre because it was night I did not want him to ride a bike alone and also because the road we passed was a highway. Thank God my intention to buy my son new shoes finally materialized. Andre's shoes are badly damaged. He bought it two years ago while Alya, his shoes were just bought a few months ago when he was just entering school.

After entering several stores, my son finally bought ordinary shoes. Not expensive shoes, but not cheap ones either. Hopefully it can be worn.

I went home after buying stationery for my children. Thank God the money from Mr. Toni there are still two more sheets I will keep for urgent purposes while my salary is a little for my grip this month.

***

A few days later while I was busy at the store, the boss called me. I rushed to him.

"Yes, boss," I said as I was nearby.

"Nih, there's someone calling you," the boss explained, giving me the phone.

Who called me to the store? Batinku. I answered her phone.

"Haloo," I doubt.

"Yes, I'm Anto."

"Oh,rr Sugi. Yes, pak."

"What,pak? Seriously?"

"Alhamdulillah. Will it be later in the afternoon, sir? Now I still work at the store home at five."

"Ooh, the house next to the workshop is my father's house?"

"Yes, fine sir. I'll be there after the store. Thank you very much, sir."

I then returned the phone to its place. I don't think I'll get any money from Mr. Sugi after how many days I wait. Turns out I got it too. It felt like I didn't know how much money I was going to receive.

Exactly at five in the afternoon, I rushed to the workshop Mr. Sugi. Until there, the workshop was closed but next to it was a simple house owned by Mr. Sugi. He was waiting on the terrace.

"Assalammualaikum," I said kindly.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," said Mr. Sugi, "Come in!" bring him.

I then went into his house that looked like a shophouse. After being allowed to sit down, Pak Sugi immediately gave me a white envelope. My heart was pounding receiving it because I felt the envelope was quite thick. After chatting for a while, I decided to go home because Maghrib was soon.

I paddle my bike with a little speeding but have not reached home, Mazan maghrib has been reverberating. I prayed at the mosque on the side of the road.

After the maghrib prayer, I went home. I'm afraid my kids are looking for me for not coming home.

Arriving in front of my mother's house, Andre and Alya were already waiting for me at the door.

"Dad, didn't you just come home?" alya asked with a worried face.

I parked my bike on the porch, "Yes, that son of a father was necessary. Come inside!" take me.

We went into the house, and I saw my mother preparing dinner. I went to the bathroom to clean myself up. After the shower, the family was waiting for dinner.

After finishing dinner, I reached into my pants pocket, took the envelope I got from Mr. Sugi earlier. My eyes are round, I don't believe in my vision. I counted the money in the amlop repeatedly. Fantastic amount for me for exceeding my salary every month.

I immediately bowed in gratitude until all my family was astonished to see me.
