"This house is for sale. To the contractor please contact to the owner of the old house." Zoya is confused not a bitch. How can he find a new rented house and move his belongings within a day?
He immediately reached into the small bag he was wearing. Before returning to the village, Zoya immediately paid the rent as an extension. He said goodbye to the owner before leaving. Then, how can the homeowner even sell the house without his knowledge?
"Hello, Mum. I'm Zoya."
Zoya starts talking to the homeowner on the phone. There was a little discussion there. Surely because Zoya felt the owner of the contract had acted arbitrarily on her, then she felt unacceptable with their actions.
"But Ma'am, I've already paid the contract fee for this month. My time was expelled." Zoya said again.
The landlord's mother again gave her own argument.
"I'm not asking for my funds to be returned, but --"
The landlord's mother cut her words again. He said there were people who bought his rented house at a high price. In fact, many times over its normal price. Of course, the landlord's mother will not waste the opportunity. Therefore, he is willing to return all payments this month that Zoya has given before, even double it as a form of apology.
"Huh." Zoya let out a long breath. In the end, he still could not win the conversation. Money always wins everything. And now Zoya is confused as to what to do and where to go.
"Would you ask Dafa first, huh?" Her thought. At a time like this, the only thing he thought about was asking for help. And somehow his mind was fixed on his childhood friend.
However, just as Zoya thought so, the memory of her conversation a few days ago with the mother flashed in her head.
He likes you, is. That's my mother's thought, yes.
"Hm." Zoya shook her head quickly. Because he remembered that, he could not ask Dafa for help. What if what his mother said was true? It is very uncomfortable to ask for help from someone who has feelings for him when he himself is not sure of his own feelings.
"Oh, Winona!" Zoya finally remembered her friend. He went back to looking for something on his phone, trying to contact Winona who he had not been in contact with for almost a week.
"The number you're going to--"
Tut
Zoya disconnects the phone call. He again tried to call the same number, but again Winona did not pick up the call.
"Winona where, huh?"
Zoya let out a long breath. He looked at the son who looked tired, hungry and thirsty. He also felt unbearable.
"We're going to eat first, yuk!" Bring along.
Noah just nodded. With his hand, Noah who remained silent finally followed his mother's footsteps. There's a chicken shop across the street. Zoya orders two hens, along with rice and ice tea.
"Later after finishing eating, Mama will try to contact Mrs Master Winona again. Losing can't, don't want us to ask uncle Dafa for help." His word.
Actually he really did not want to bother the man, but if there was no one else who could help him, how else? Zoya can't let Noah sleep on the street. And to stay in a hotel, the money is not that much. Although enough, maybe it can only last for one to two days only in the cheapest room.
"Eat a lot." Zoya gives a portion of the chicken that is on her plate. Let's just say it was a form of apology to Noah.

"Thirty-five thousand five hundred in total. Anything to add again?"
Zoya shook her head and gave the woman a blue note. The woman standing behind the counter immediately received the money, typed some things on the computer and gave it back to her.
"Thank you for shopping at IndoApril." His word.
Zoya smiles. He then came out of the air-conditioned room, approaching Noah who had sat first at the front desk.
"Here, Mama bought me what Noah wanted."
Noah immediately saw the contents of the groceries in the bag that his mother brought. There are milk boxes, tea drinks in bottles, also some snacks. Noah took the milk box and snacks. He then stuck a straw into the milk box and drank it straight away.
After finishing eating earlier, Noah said he wanted to buy drinks and snacks in IndoApril. Zoya did not mind. Pity also the child who had not been able to rest in the room. Therefore, Zoya receded when her son asked to be brought here.
"Where are we going, Ma?" Ask Noah at last.
Zoya seemed to think. Like Noah, he still doesn't know where to go. Winona still didn't pick up the phone. And Dafa, for some reason also could not be contacted. Actually it is not strange to remember soon the day will be dark. The restaurant must be busy preparing for dinner. But, now Zoya so what should it be, dong?
"Actually Mama's money is still enough for us to stay at the hotel one night. What if we--- "Zoya's speech stops.
Perhaps because of not paying attention around, Zoya became unconscious when a luxury car parked in the parking lot of IndoApril store that he is currently visiting. Even worse, Zoya does not even realize who the figure who just got off the car.
"Sister Alby!" Shouted Zoya.
Alby smiled broadly. He knew who he was going to meet. But when he met in person, Alby still felt disbelief.
"Hi, you still know me?" Candanya.
Zoya immediately stood up and greeted the man. Many years had passed, yet not much seemed to change from the man. Instead, it looks like Alby is getting better looking than when they first met six years ago.
"When can we meet here, anyway?" Zoya looks happy, "The world is really small." Said.
Because even though he was in the same city as that man, it was strange that they could meet again. After six years of contact. God seems so kind as to bring them together by accident like this.
"Haha, this is not really a coincidence. I came here with someone." His word.
Zoya frowned, "Someone?"
Alby looked back. Apparently, the man had deliberately ordered Alby to go down first. They can go down together. Like asking to be called first. Because when Zoya looked back, the figure he said came with Alby finally came down and met him.
"Boss?"
