The Complicated Love #2

CL29. Seeking Solutions

My phone rang, a call from an unknown number. I'm tired of this, there are still people who want to disturb. I don't have time to serve that unknown caller. I threw the phone on the bed and I massaged my temples which suddenly hurt.

I heard the door being knocked and I saw Mama's face poking out from behind the door.

"What's up, baby? You look so messy, what's bothering you?"

"Om Roy."

I answered Mama's question without a stale ado, I can't hide this matter from her.

I saw Mama's eyes widen in shock as she closed her mouth.

"What else do you want?"

"He messed up my shop this afternoon. He gave me three days, if in that interval I don't vacate the space above the ground, then he'll destroy everything in the blink of an eye."

"Ta-but how could it be? You still in touch with Tefan?"

"No Ma, not like that. I swear to God. You know how busy I was during our move. I might not have had any thoughts until I had to get in touch with him again."

"What lounge?"

"He doesn't like my business to grow. I don't know where he got the info from to find my business in this town. I don't think he did that. First he had made my supplier cut the cooperation contract unilaterally under pressure from him. Now he's gonna displace the store building that's also my headquarters."

I explained with a sad heart mixed with anger.

"O Lord Riana, forgive Mama who has not noticed you lately. This big problem you shouldn't keep to yourself."

"Riana thinks the problem can be solved by myself Ma, not to mention the problem is getting bigger without me being able to prevent."

Shortly after, Mama held me in her arms, Papa entered the room and looked in wonder at me and Mama who were hugging with a sad expression mixed with anger.

"What's this about? What did you miss?"

Papa asked in an astonished and full of curiosity. I took off Mama's embrace and gradually hugged Papa.

"What's Riana?" Ask Papa softly and rub my head like a child.

"Riana please pray yes Pa, now Riana is facing a big problem. So Papa doain Riana let the matter be resolved soon."

"Dad but what problem? You look riled up and angry, what does Papa not know dear?"

"Your friend Roy. He came again to destroy Riana's business." Mama spoke up and from her tone alone it sounded very upset.

"What has he done?"

"He wants to evict Riana's shop. He conspired with his owner and now the land is his."

Papa's face looks stiffened and also emanated guilt in him. He cursed himself who could not help his only child when getting into trouble, especially because the problem actually started from his feud with Roy.

"Pa, Mama. Don't worry, Riana can definitely handle this. Riana only asked for the prayers of Papa and Mama."

"Always dear, Papa too Mama always wishes you the best."

"Thank you Pa, Ma."

"A-pa?"

Nina's voice rang out loud in my ear because it had shouted so loudly. Yeah, I was talking to Nina on the phone, telling her how that Om Roy came to the store and asked me to clean up the place as quickly as possible.

"Crazy for that guy." Connect Nina again with a furious tone.

"I have to how? I can't think fast in a situation like this. Moreover, the time given by Om Roy is only three days. Huh!"

"Call Riana, I'll try to find a way."

"Nin, again I can only trouble you. I don't know who else to tell and ask who else to help. You're my only friend."

"Don't hesitate Yan, I'm your best friend and will forever remain that way. I will always be there for you under any circumstances. Now, love me when you talk to my dad, this might be the only way to go to get that old man to stop bothering you."

"What are you planning Nin to do?"

"You don't have to worry. I guarantee you this time he'll let you go. I hope Papa agrees to the idea I'm about to tell him. Yan, after all I don't like that old man either. He's really gone too far."

"Thank you Nin."

"I told you before, your problem is also a problem. As much as possible we can find solutions together. Have you ever met Tefan? He has returned to Indonesia. His sentence in exile has ended. Maybe that's why Roy came back to harass you, because he was afraid Tefan would look for you again."

"I've never met him and I hope never. It's nothing I just don't want the problems that once came back to the surface. This is the first and last time we put him in our conversation, Nin."

"I'm sorry to remind you again of that time."

"It's okay!"

The conversation over the phone was also interrupted. I don't want to know Tefan's return, but the problems I'm facing right now are complicated enough. I don't want to add any more new problems that end up making things messy again.

I just hope Nina can help me this time. Because he's the only one I can count on in this matter.

All the employees I've ordered to clean up the items in the store and send them to the branch store. I entrust this matter to Nia who is also my assistant. Well in fact, Nia had just worked with me but had to deal with a problem of this magnitude.

I contacted Nia by phone, made sure all the goods were safe and would be delivered to the branch immediately.

"Okay, I take care of everything here. Mba just calm down, mba should rest first. I think I'm very tired."

"Thank you Nia, I didn't think you could be relied upon like this. You've worked very well. Once again I entrust all the shop's business to you."

I hung up with a little relief. Now all I have to think about is how to get a new land or store location. Of course that could not be reached by the old man.

I contacted some friends at the property, but nothing has been done yet. Most of the locations are not too crowded. So that it will make the turnaround or purchasing power will be sluggish.

Seriate....
