A few days without interruption from my ex-wife made me relieved and calm working in the minimarket. Hopefully he understands and will not come here again.
I have an appointment today to meet the owner of an empty house next to the minimarket. Right behind the diner, Mr. Daniel. The house that is not too big only measures 10 x 20 meters but it is enough to add a minimarket area because around the minimarket there is no more empty land. Just the house and another house behind the minimarket. Hopefully it will be sold by the owner.
Maybe later the land of the former house will be made a warehouse and office only while the old warehouse and office to expand the minimarket area. Yes, that was just my plan. I don't know what my wife's plan is.
Yesterday I made an appointment with the owner of the empty house to meet at Mr. Daniel's restaurant. During the wait for more than half an hour, finally Sofian as the owner of the house finally came too. Accompanied by Mr. Daniel, we negotiated.
We met and talked for a moment. After that, I only asked about the price of the house to Mr. Sofian.
"Well, what's the price of the house, sir?" my many.
"Look, because my house is a little into the alley and it has started to break down, so I open the price of 1.2M only!" answer mr. Sofian.
Daniel and I looked at each other. I know a house here with that size is worth 1.5M.
"That's the right price, sir?" my many.
"Yes, it could be less, sir!" answer to Sofyan.
"Well, if I bid 1.1M, what, sir?" my many.
"All right!" jawan mr. Sofyan.
Alhamdulillah, even though I was just bidding it turned out that Mr. Sofian agreed.
"What about the notary fee, sir?" my many.
"I'll cover the notary's expenses, sir. Until finished!" answer to Sofyan.
"Well, sir. I agree!" my answer.
"Thank you, sir!" said mr. Sofyan.
"Together, sir. I also thank you!" sahutku.
It turns out my wife's estimate of the price is not much different. We then shook hands with each other. So too with Daniel. I will not forget to give a little for Mr. Daniel because Mr. Daniel as an intermediary. After talking for a while, I then decided to return to the minimarket.
Arriving at the minimarket, I sat back in the office. I was going to call my wife to give her this good news.
"Hallo, yank."
"Yes. I've finished negotiating with Sofyan sir. He's asking for 1.1M for his house and his land."
"Yes, because the house is not strategic and also has a lot of damage. We'll demolish the house anyway."
"Thank God, yank. It's quite cheap because so far many buyers are willing but at a price below 1 M so Mr. Sofyan has not been willing to take it off."
"The plan is for two more days, Mr. Sofyan will come with his brother to sign."
"Yes. Yes, yes, I want to work!"
***
Two days later Sofian returned. I went back to see him with Mr. Daniel. The five of us were with my wife and with her brother Mr. Sofyan went to a notary. We also make payments in a notary.
My wife wants the house and the building behind the name using my name but I don't want to. It has to be on behalf of my wife. After all the business in the notary finished, we went back to the minimarket. Don't forget I gave Mr. Daniel a little money as a sign of gratitude because he helped me.
"How, yank? Do you have a design for a new minimarket?" ask my wife.
"Yes, mas. The plan is to make a level and increase the number of items. What do you think?" ask wife.
"That's a good plan, yank! What's the top floor for?"
"I want to sell clothes too, Mommy. Later on upstairs, we wear clothes and the top floor remains as usual. What about mas?"
"Mas agrees."
"I'll sell all kinds of clothes. From baby clothes to adult clothes."
I nodded, "Mas agrees to all your ideas, yank!"
"Thank you, mas. Actually it was my wish for a long time but because it was blocked by energy and thoughts so it could not be realized!"
"Mas will always help you! Hope the aoa you want can be achieved, yank!" my firmness.
"Amijin!"

I had just finished from Mr. Daniel's diner, and was sitting in the office, suddenly my phone rang. My wife's.
"Hallo, Assalammu'alaikum."
"What, a letter from the police?"
"alright. I'll be home soon."
"Rudi, I'd like to go home for a minute. If there's anything please you call me directly, yes!" my message to Rudi.
"Good, sir!" saith.
I immediately drove the car home. When I got home, my wife was waiting on the porch. He was holding an envelope. I got out of the car and approached him. My wife kissed the back of my hand and handed me the envelope.
"This, mas," said my wife.
Then I opened it. Turns out it was a subpoena to the David case. I was asked to be a witness at his trial in two days. I was surprised that it was also a quick process.
"What's up, gold?" ask wife.
"Mas there's a call as a witness to David's case, yank!" my answer.
"Case David? So he must be in jail, huh, mas?" ask wife.
"Possibly yes, yank!"
"But pity also his wife and son yes, mas."
"Well, what else, yank. Mas and Alya wouldn't be able to give false testimony, would they?"
"Yes, too. I hope the punishment isn't too heavy, yeah."
"Aamiin's."
"Well in, my mom!" take my wife.
"Mas wants to go back to the minimarket, yank! The plan of the people who would carry heavy equipment to knock down the house was to come today."
"Oh gitu. Aku ikut ya, mas?"
"Yank, you just rest at home, yeah. You don't want to be tired!"
"Hmm, yes, yes."
"By the way I'm going to pick Andre up first, it's time for him to go home."
"Yes, mas. Be careful on the road, yes!"
"Aren't you tipping anything?"
My wife shook her head, "No, my mom!"
"Yes, I'm going!" pamittu.
I then got in the car. Drive the car to Andre's school. During the day as usual the road will be very jammed. Not to mention if you get stuck with a red light. I got to my son's school a little late. My son was sitting next to a food vendor still selling there. When he saw the car I used to carry, he rushed to me.
"Sorry, son. You've been a long time, haven't you?" I asked when my son got into the car.
Andre shook his head, "No, yeah. It's only five minutes!" the answer.
"Hmm, yeah, let's go home. No stopping by anywhere, right? I'm busy today."
"No, yeah. Actually I want to come with you to the minimarket. I haven't been there since Alya's sister got sick. Get bored at home, dad!" his weakness.
"Hmm, there's schoolwork, right?" my many.
His face turned moody, "There's no, yeah."
"Tomorrow, how? Or sunday?" bargained.
Hhh, he took a slow breath, "Yes, yeah."
"Now I'm taking you home, Dad. Today the house you bought will be demolished. So I'm a little busy today."
Andre nodded, "Yes, yeah!"
I immediately drove the car towards the house. The road is still jammed at this hour.
