My wife's lover

chapter 19

Today is my last divorce hearing. Because I still haven't got a job so I can come early in the morning. After taking my two children to school, I immediately went to the Religious Court.

Until there, Lisa has not come. I broke off to wait for coffee at a stall not far from there. Yes, my head is a little dizzy probably from thinking about my divorce. But not because of the dizziness of having to part with my ex-wife but I'm dizzy thinking about challenging the custody of my daughter Alya that Lisa really wants to get. Of course I don't want my daughter to have to live with a grown man who isn't her flesh and blood. My life will not be calm.

Shortly after, I saw Lisa coming. He came with his affair. They stared cynically at me while holding friendly arms. I turned my face away.

An hour later, the trial took place. Thank God because I already have evidence of Lisa's affair so the custody of my son Alya is in my hands.

Lisa did not accept the court decision. He looked at me with a dirty look. I just returned his gaze with a faint smile.

When I was about to go home to pick up my bike, it turns out there was an affair Lisa standing not far from where I parked the bike. He came straight at me with a murderous look. I pretended not to care.

Suddenly he put his fist in my face. Not ready, I could not avoid it until I fell off the bike. When he was about to hit again there were some people approaching us.

"What's this why is it a fuss?" ask a father.

"This guy's been bothering my girlfriend, sir!" say Lisa's affair.

Everyone looked at me with a cynical look.

Suddenly, new men approached us.

"Well, wasn't this guy who just got divorced?" he said while pointing at me.

I answered him, "Yes, sir. I just finished the divorce hearing and this man is my ex-wife's affair that I've made as evidence."

Lisa's cheated face instantly turned red. Everyone immediately turned towards him with a cynical look.

People began to mock and insult him. Suddenly Lisa came to us.

"Well, this is my ex-wife who's having an affair with this guy, right?" obviously the father turned towards me. I nodded my head immediately.

Lisa and her affair look very angry but can not do anything because there are still many people.

More and more people insulted and cornered the two of them until they both hurriedly left.

I then rubbed my bloody lips from being beaten by Lisa's affair earlier. Everyone was busy comforting me and offering to treat my wounds.

"I'm fine, sir, ma'am. Thank you for helping me" I said, clutching my hands together in front of my chest.

After everyone started leaving me, I went straight home because my head was a little dizzy.

The next day I went back to looking for a job and also looked for orders in the workshop. An hour later I saw a half-built house. I approached the house

"Excuse me, sir?" I said to one of the workers' fathers there.

The father then turned to me, "Yes, can anyone help?"

"Does this house need a fence or iron trellis, sir?" my many.

"Oh yes, but later after the house is completed," replied the father.

"Then I want to offer this sir, maybe you are interested in ordering an iron fence and trellis," I said while showing the brochure I brought.

"Oh, if the problem is the father can ask the owner of the house directly," explained the father.

"Oh yeah, sir?" tanyaku who was given a nod by the father.

"If you may know who has a house where yes, sir?" ask again.

"Awhile I called," said the father and immediately went into the house.

I waited in front of the road. Five minutes later, the man came back with the owner. Then they approached me.

"Sorry, can anyone help?" ask the owner of the house.

I introduced myself first and then said my point.

After talking for a while, the owner of the house named Mr. Imron then read the brochure I brought. After reading it, he nodded his head.

"Okay, I seem interested. Can you take me to the workshop now?" ask Mr. Imron.

Imron and I went to the garage in his car. My bike lives in his house.

Half an hour later I arrived at the shop. I then introduced Mr. Imron with Mr. Sugi as the owner of the workshop. Mr. Imron then spoke with Mr. Sugi about what he would order. While I was watching the workers in the workshop. I'm actually interested in working in a workshop, but I don't have the skills for that.

After waiting for a while, Imron and Mr. Sugi finished trading. Mr. Sugi told me the order for Mr. Imron.

Thank God I will get my payment of 10% of Imron's order. That's a hefty sum, almost half of my pay goes to work at Tony's store.

I went back to Imron's house to get my bike. On the way home I had a chat with Mr. Imron. I asked him if he needed more energy to work at his house. It turns out that Mr. Imron still needs 2 more people. Mr. Imron will build a 2-story house.

Then I tried to express my intention to work at his house. Thank God Imron accepted me. So from tomorrow I can work at Mr. Imron's house from 8 to 5 pm, if Sunday is off.

Arriving at the house of Mr. Imron sound adzan ashar. I said goodbye and searched the nearest mosque for Ashar. After the Ashar prayer I went back around looking for newly built houses. So excited to not realize that I've been pedaling my bike far enough.

I rested for a while under the tree while looking around. My eyes unintentionally looked towards the south. There is a 2-door shophouse not yet completed.

I then pointed my bike there. After arriving I then approached one of the workers there. I was then directed to his foreman. After meeting with the foreman, I then showed the brochure I brought.

Alhamdulillah it turns out the foreman said that the shop owner needs a folding gate for his two streets along with a ladder from stainless. The foreman then invited me to meet with the owner of the shop, Mr. Anton.

The foreman then showed me the brochure I brought to Mr. Anton. I pray in my heart that Mr. Anton will order at Mr. Sugi's workshop. Thank God Mr. Anton wants to immediately look directly into the workshop Mr. Sugi.

By driving the car I went to the workshop Mr. Sugi. When I got out of the car, Pak Sugi was already looking at me with a smile.

"Sir Anto?" greet mr Sugi.

"But I know this Mr. Anton. Mr. Anton here wants to order a folding gate and ladder from stainless," I explained.

"Oh yes," said Mr. Sugi.

Mr. Anton then spoke directly with Mr. Sugi about his order. While I waited while looking back at the officer Mr. Sugi.

Half an hour later Mr. Anton and Mr. Sugi approached me. It turns out that Mr. Anton's order was quite a lot, exceeding Mr. Imron's order last afternoon.

Thank God, I said in my heart.

Mr. Sugi said I could come in one more week to get my money.

"Often Mr. Anto takes people to my workshop" he said with a smile.

I nodded with a smile, too, "Just pray Mr. Sugi I hope my efforts are smooth."

"Amin ya robbal alamiin," said Mr. Sugi.

Me and Mr. Anton then went back to the shophouse. After from the shophouse I went straight home because it was late afternoon.

Thank God, behind the difficulties there is ease, I said in my heart.

I'm not going to tell my mom and my kids that I stopped working in Toni's store. I don't want them to be sad.

From tomorrow I'll start working at Mr. Imron's house. It looks like Mr. Imron's house is still long finished. So for a while I still had a job. After Mr. Imron's house is finished in the wake, I will find another job again.

I arrived home at five in the afternoon. I put my bike next to the house. My two children greeted me cheerfully.

"Dad home soon?" ask Alya.

"Yes, son," I replied.

I went to the bathroom to clean myself up. After the bathroom I took Andre to the mosque to pray magrib. After finishing the magrib prayer we went home. Dinner is on the dining table. I'm so grateful. I will make both my children and my mother happy.
