"You don't hang out with just any guy, do you, out there? Not fooled into persuading crocodiles, is it?"ask Hilda staring at Ayana intensely, "Mama hope as long as you are out there, you can take good care of yourself. And I hope your words yesterday were true. You don't sell yourself in order to survive out there" Hilda said.
Geno frowned at the words of his wife. Trying to digest every word spoken by his wife. So did Ayana who had just eaten half of the bread in her hand. Ayana also tried to digest what each word was said by her mother.
"Did you think I was pregnant, because I was vomiting and now I see my face pale?"realizing that, suddenly an idea appeared in Ayana's brain .
"Ting"
It seemed like there was a light burning above Ayana's head.
Just got the idea and did not even have time to answer her mother's question, but Ayana's stomach already feels very nauseous. Ayana quickly ran towards the sink.
"Jeek! Yuck! Yuck!"
Ayana spits out all the food she just swallowed. Hilda clenched her hands together with a facial expression that was completely unexplainable.
"You take care of your son! I have to go now. There was an important meeting this morning" Geno said, rising from his seat and immediately leaving for the office with a gloomy face.
Soon, however, Hilda's phone rang.
"Hello!"sahut Hilda's.
"Hello, Madam, I'm sorry to interrupt. I just checked the stuff. The stuff in the boutique is missing, madam. Even though last night was still there," said employee Hilda of the phone call sounded panicked.
"What's? Which stuff?"hilda looked surprised.
"Nearly completed order yesterday, ma'am," said Hilda's employee.
"Wait me! I'll be there soon," said Hilda then glanced at Ayana for a moment, "All of you! If my daughter escapes, then I'll fire all of you!"hilda said to all the ART in her house, "Understand me?"asked Hilda in a high voice.
"Understand me, madam," said the ART that was near Hilda in unison.
Hilda left her residence with a huffed feeling. His heart became unsettled due to Ayana's circumstances. But he had to solve the problem in his shop quickly.
On the other hand, in a rented house two men of different status, namely the status of a young widow with one child who has been engaged and the status of a single virgin. Dimas is seen waking up from his sleep and staring around.
"I wish what happened yesterday was just a dream and when I woke up I could see you again. But I'm actually disappointed. Because all of this is real. The fact that you are no longer here. On our side," muttered Dimas while sighing heavily watching the entire room.
While bang Toyib appears to yawn many times while walking towards the kitchen.
"Well, make Abang sute.. ja," said Toyib, whose voice became soft at the end of the sentence,"I forgot that you were no longer in this house, "murm Toyib let out a rude sigh, saying, then sit on one of the chairs surrounding the dining table, fold his hands together on the table, then lay his head on his arms.
"Why are you sleeping here?"asked Dimas who saw Toyib asleep on the table.
"I miss that guy. No one made me tea and coffee anymore" Toyib said, but his eyes were still closed.
Dimas sighed hearing Toyib's reply. The man washed his face and made breakfast for the two of them. Cooking rice in magic com uses hot water to quickly ripen. Because if using hot water will only take about a quarter of an hour, the rice must have been cooked. Dimas cook fried instant noodles given mustard white, then make eggs ceplok. When finished, Dimas brought two servings of instant fried noodles to the dinner table. Then take the cooked rice.
"Yip, wakeup! Breakfast first!"dimas said as he patted Toyib's arm slowly.
"Why?"tanya Dimas who saw Toyib not so scooping rice.
Toyib let out a rough breath, "I'll wash my face and wash my hands first" Toyib then moved from his seat walking towards the bathroom..
Dimas could only sigh at Toyib's reply. Usually Ayana would hit Toyib's hand if the man touched the food before washing his face and hands.
"That girl, is she okay?"muttered Dimas let out a long breath.
As usual Dimas and Toyib went to work. Sometimes they enter the same village, but sometimes also enter a different village.
Toyib knocked on one of the doors of his consumer home. And not long after a mother of XXL size appeared from behind the door.
"What's wrong?"the mothers asked, sounding stale.
"Today's the billing date that I promised you" Toyib said politely.
"Oh, that. Just one more week coming here. I haven't got the money yet, "that's why the mothers are light.
"Don't do it, Mom! I've retreated three times, you know! Mother's installment rules were paid on the third day yesterday. But it's already the twenty-third date, mother hasn't paid yet either" complains Toyib.
"If I don't have any money, what do you want?"ketus the mothers with a high voice and glaring eyes staring at Toyib.
"Yes, do it, Mom. Before you took credit yesterday, you should also think about the installment. Don't just take the goods, but don't want to pay for it" said Toyib who was upset by the attitude of his consumers.
"Whisper! I don't have money to pay. Go there!"
"Shelf"
The mothers closed the door so tightly that they made both of Toyib's shoulders rise.
"Buset, bye! Encourage the ones on the bill rather than the ones who collect, "gruntle Toyib who can only sigh long in the face of his consumers.
The one-child widower finally continued his steps to find sustenance. Until passing a shop.
"Mr Toyib! Look at the new clothes, dong!"call a mother who stands in front of the stall, to make Toyib stop in front of the stall, "There's a new robe, isn't there?"ask the mothers again.
"She, Mom. There are various kinds of gamis, some are ordinary, some are shar'i, Tunik, and also hijab. From the instant hijab, pashmina, shavings, to the quadrilateral ones also exist. Children's clothes are there too" Toyib said, starting to open his wares on the porch of the shop.
"Eh, Dimas boy! Here, dong! Look at the negligee and her underwear, "call the mothers who saw Dimas passing by.
