MARRIAGES & BENEFITS
Sentra memories

Devina had given all their marriage affairs from the beginning to her future father-in-law without any interference other than the selection of the ring and dowry that would later become hers in full.

The petite-faced woman twisted her body wrapped in kebaya Gita'sweddplan design where the owner is the designer himself.

"Well, it fits really well when it's been made gini!." The woman who is often called Jeng Gita was seen sumringah after seeing the results of her work attached perfectly to Devina's body and made her more shaky because of the natural beauty possessed by the bride-to-be.

Devina tried to relax with her current appearance. To be honest he was very moved to see the seriousness of Fatimah and Alma who wanted to take care of all the needs of her and Alfin's marriage. Even up to the dress he wears today can not be said to be cheap with a design that really fits him both in terms of color and quality of materials that feel comfortable when he uses.

It felt evil enough to remember her agreeing to the marriage just because of the inheritance. Yes, thanks to the trust of Mr. Hamid was himself so as it is today and because of the support of Alma also he can try out expensive dresses as he does now.

"There's nothing we need to change, isn't there Vina?." Ask Gita who was possessed by him.

"Wal!. How's the Alfin?." Next later.

"Uh uh uh, I can't see the chirping of maakk!." said the Walang from next door.

"I've done enough of this and it's all because of the inheritance!."

Both are now in their respective positions. The man pulled back his steering chair and changed the position of the backrest to a laydown.

"Behold, my dizziness from earlier was emotional." He said to Vina before closing his eyes.

Alfin folded his lips to dampen the emotional turmoil he had felt since earlier.

Devina who sat with the phone on could only smile at how the man tried to reconcile with his emotions because Walang figure who really had tested his sanity from the beginning.

"That means you should tell Rosi not to order your dresses here." Devina chuckled with her sentence which made Alfin instantly open his eyes and glance at her.

"What's she gonna order a dress for, here?."

"Wouldn't you like to formalize your relationship?."

"This is just you." Denial with eyes closed.

"So he wants you to be safe?."

"Do you want to be in the company?." The man turned the question.

"Love is Fin he's the same as you, can you leave him?."

"Gue is just looking for profit."

"Fin_

"Do you want to have my husband?." Devina's words were cut off by him which gave the woman an unexpected question.

"No." Devina's honest answer made the man cluck in annoyance.

"Your reason?."

"Because I don't like you. Especially?."

"What do you like for?."

"Almost everything you have and what you do."

"Yes yes, I understand what you mean."

Edo gave a reply to Kezi who had finished his affairs at the time.

The man said that Alfin was still the lover of the woman who had the high flying hours.

Previously Kenzi had also told if Rosi's name was included in the BO list which also involved several artists of the country and some of them had been caught.

"It's no surprise to me." Edo monologue, edo,

"Come, Alfin. Let's just have you taped benalu."

The man in a white shirt with a bow tie then chuckled as he read the message sent by his cousin.

Edo who works as an employee in one of the five-star hotel lounges actually has less free time than Alfin who is a DJ. The man only relied on his monthly salary to meet his daily living needs, unlike Alfin who had an unlimited source of funds 'forever' before the fire country came.

Kenzi's message was sent back by Edo to Alfin's number. He already does not care if his club playmates are angry or hostile because they have interfered with his relationship with the lover.

Devina had just finished accompanying Mr. Hamid to meet some fresh food distributors who took a supply of eggs and freshly cut chicken from their poultry slaughterhouse.

So far Devina is reliable enough to cope with the pace of demand for goods with the available stock in their place. Mr. Hamid himself is quite satisfied with the hard work of his future son-in-law. It's just that the man is still confused to find a way for his son to accept Devina not only on paper but also with his heart.

It's a pity if Alfin left it just because the inheritance is nothing compared to the advantages possessed by the woman.

*****

Mr. Hamid sat casually in the passenger seat, while Devina chose to sit beside the kang Sule who was driving her vehicle splitting the dense protocol road.

The middle-aged man stared at the ranks of the old shophouse that made old memories of him suddenly returned to the surface when he saw the open garden that read Sentra which was once the oldest shophouse in the area. His place scavenged rupiahs from one hundred, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand to twenty thousand at the beginning of his marriage to the woman who had accompanied the journey of his life for approximately thirty-one years.

Starting from falling awake to the moment of their slump when the central shophouse was experiencing a big fire that consumed all the buildings and contents including the merchandise of Mr. Hamid. At that moment, Fatimah was pregnant with Alfin, who was seven months old.

Their business eventually went out of business and Mr. Hamid chose to move to the village, restarting their lives from scratch. But not once did he and his wife complain, until the time Alfin was three years old, Mr. Hamid began his new business little by little by buying laying hens and maintaining them with a small cage that can only accommodate twenty tails.

Slowly but surely, the effort increased. Before leaving to teach Fatimah ma'am took the time to help her husband clean their own cut chicken then prepare to go to school when the sun has risen by carrying Alfin in his cradle.

While Mr. Hamid himself had already left with his bututut motorbike before dawn adhan reverberated to sell fresh chicken pieces to the market. So on until Alfin reached school age and Alma was born.

Mr. Hamid also stopped his agenda in the market and chose to focus on his laying chickens at home that needed a bigger place than before. All the tired process he has gone through, which was originally only he and his wife now have many employees with a cage location divided in three different areas.

....

Alfin should be able to see and be grateful with all the ease he received from childhood until the time he had to replace the father. But what is expected in fact is inversely proportional to the reality that occurs.

The man had let his parents down and acted as if good fortune had always been on his side.
