Orchid Caption this afternoon

I took an online taxi from the airport to one of Miepa's other branches. Honestly, looking at the airport earlier I just remembered that it had not been a vacation out of town for a long time. Last time I went out of town was on a reality show when my viral video exploded.

An online taxi has arrived at another Miepa branch. I only rented a one-story store for this last branch of Miepa. Located not far from the office area so the rental price here is relatively expensive.

Agus one of Miepa's employees welcomed me. He has a neat appearance and way of working. Masks, aprons, shoes are always shiny. Even Agus always used a shirt with his sleeves neatly rolled up.

Agus, a deft man. Can be waitress while helping to mix noodles because Miepa third branch is only selling chicken noodles and pentol.

"Where, Gus here. It's smooth today?".

"Obviously, you're not too crowded these days. Some offices are still 'work from home' so not many employees enter."

I nodded feeling also the effect of the implementation of this WFH for traders like us. Shortly after, several teenagers entered the shop. I helped agus prepare their order.

"Angrek's brother who went viral yesterday? Photo dong, brother." I gawked for the first time since having social media with a lot of followers, Some take photos together.

"May I put your order first." The boys boisterously helped me compose the chicken noodles. Happy in their time, I was. Happy for the little things.

After that I went back to the back of Miepa's kitchen. Agus followed me because the stall was guarded by Toto.

"Mom, any plans to buy a house?"

"Now I'm making a home. Do you want to sell your house?". I remembered about Doni's offer. If the house offered by Agus according to my criteria might be a consideration.

"Friends' house, Mom. He divorced his wife so their house was sold for the distribution of gono gini property. The location is good, the house is clean." Clean standards for people who are used to being clean and neat should be taken into account as well.

"Can we go there now?"

"But what's up, ma'am there? Agus didn't bring a motor." I patted my forehead, Yes I didn't bring a car either but when I saw on the page there was a Miepa pickup that was parked. I pointed Agus straight at the pickup.

"We're taking the pickup, Gus. I'm the one driving." Toto chuckled at the sight of me carrying the Miepa pickup commonly used to carry merchandise from the Miepa branch.

The location of the house that Agus offered was not too far from Miepa Branch and my house. Middle exactly. Being on a shortcut that people used to pass. The road can be crossed by one car. The home page leaves a place that can be used to park two cars.

The building of the house is tiny because in the habitation of a young couple who somehow their marriage failed. In my heart I regret why divorce should happen but who will know the fate of a marriage.

"Good, I like the location of the house later you can meet me with the owner?"

"I'll give you the phone number, ma'am, but please let me know if you get any information from me, okay?"

"Yes, Gus." I know there must be a commission for Agus if he manages to bring in a buyer for this house.

The day started towards night when we returned to Miepa. Just now that I parted with Bian this afternoon it didn't feel like the night was coming. One day passed back.

********

"Morning, sweetie, happy activities. Don't forget to eat. Miss you."

"Miss you too. You too can go well today on his family business."

"Look, Bye Orchid darling."

"Bye"

I closed the device with an erratic feeling. What happens in the Bian family will someday affect my life. For now I haven't thought about what I'm going to do because I don't know for sure what the problem is.

Today I plan to meet the owner of the house that Agus offered. The plan is if the price of the house is in accordance with my financial capabilities then the house under construction will be offered to Doni.

Last night I thought the location of the house was more strategic than the house I was building. I can also speed up opening another business by renovating for the Miepa kitchen.

My fingers pressed the phone number 'Sayudi' the owner of the house who is a friend of Agus.

"Sir, I Orchid Agus' friend. I have information about the house that will be sold. Can we meet?"

"Oh can, Miss Orchid. Meet at the location."

"Yes Sir. How about 11:00?"

"Can, Mom."

At 11:00 wib we glided with Agus to the location of the house. After the price negotiation. Mr. Sayudi asked for a one-week grace period to chat with his ex-wife. I'm saying yes because there will be time to discuss this with Doni.

I returned to the third branch of Miepa when there was a video call from Bian. I hastily wiped my face with oil paper and re-polished the powder and lipstick.

Of course, I have to look beautiful on the screen because there are no filters that help the appearance of myself during video calls. Notification of the message from Bian because the phone call is dead.

"Busy huh, Orchid?

"I was just about to pick up a video call from you earlier but I'm dead hunting."

"I'll call you again, honey."

"Ready, Honey."

I closed the device while grinning. I have improved my appearance. Preparation before appearing on the screen.

"Hello, Honey."

The handsome face of my lover appeared on the screen. He was in the car.

"Where are you going too, honey?".

"Let's go get Danar."

Bian directed at Danar who quickly glared at the window. I think I really want to see his face. My lips pout at the camera without caring about Bian's response. Ah just pissed off looking at her twin sister's style.

"This is my mama, Mama's an orchid."

My heart almost slipped out of place. My lips that were sneering automatically formed a smile as sweet as I could.

"Morning. lohaa. Hello aunt."

I'm groggy especially Mama Bian is so beautiful elegant with a smooth skin groomed face. He was around the mid-50s.

"Greetings with Orchids."

"Yes, Aunt."

"Yes first, honey. We're about to get home. Don't forget to eat."

"Thank you, sweetie."

I hung up with half the lives I lost. What the hell, isn't this so easy for all the difficulties I've built up in my mind about the opposition from the Bian family that I'm about to run.

I spent many days talking about the conflict I was going to face. In fact, everything is so easy or this is just the beginning as when knowing Diandra. Warm and friendly as a counterweight to Bian and Danar.

In reality he was the owner of harsh words hiding behind the elegance of his charming smile. Ah so confusing guessing people's feelings

The human heart no one knows. I just have to prepare to face it.
