Price of a Daster
Chapter 12 A good start

On a clear morning, the sun greeted Amanda gently who was sweeping her yard. Her shoulder-length hair was blushed by the gentle glare of the morning breeze.

Starting today, maybe Apandi will never sleep in his house again. Moreover, forcing her to serve her ex-husband's wild booby. Like last night, before Apandi took his things out of Amanda's house. With all the persuasion of her ex-husband, Amanda finally collapsed and wanted to serve Apandi.

Amanda let out a long sigh, inhaling the air of freedom and exhaling everything that had made her chest tight.

"Manda's spirit! You can be a single parent. Even without a husband, but you must be sure God will always give us fortune. But what am I supposed to do? There's no way I'm just relying on my savings. Do I have to sell Mas Pandi's motorbike? But how about dropping off Kia's school?" amanda muttered as she continued to clean her yard.

"Manda!" call Bude Marni.

Amanda, who felt her name was called, looked directly at the voice. "Yes, Bude!"

"So serious to greet him, until Bude called not to look." Bude Marni approached Amanda.

"Where are the kids going? Kho's house is deserted?" Bude Marni dizzy looking for the two boys who always play to his house.

"So the wake of the part, now even in sleep again," explained Amanda.

"Manda, your negligee is good. Can I buy where? The material is also adem." Bude Marni keeps flipping Amanda's body. Actually, from earlier, he noticed the negligee used by Amanda. I don't know if he likes every negligent motif Amanda uses.

"This is loved by Tania, she said as my birthday gift." Amanda smiles happy to get compliments from Bude Marni.

"If you know where to buy it, Bude also wants to buy a negligee model like this." Bude Marni just kept looking at the negligee worn by Amanda.

"I'll ask Tania where she bought it." Amanda kept the broom she held because she had finished cleaning her yard.

"Why don't you just sell, surely many complex mothers buy. Don't be expensive!" Bude Marni chuckled to herself with what she said.

"Ready Bude, later I sell negligee Bude should buy a lot ya!" amanda Canda.

Does mending me just sell negligee? Doesn't everyone hate negligee like Mas Pandi? The proof is that many mothers in this complex like to wear negligee but her husband does not protest. It is true that everything will look valuable in front of the right people. Perhaps, Mas Pandi is not the right man for me so whatever I do for him is meaningless.

After Amanda asked her best friend who ended up telling her about her divorce with Apandi, Tania also promised to take her best friend shopping negligee at Tanah Abang market so she could get a cheaper price. While Amanda went to the market, she left her two children to her ex-husband because she was shopping for him on Saturday so that Apandi was not going to the office.

"Manda, are you still not buying?" tania asked as they were taking a break after getting two large bags of groceries.

"Enough, Tania! My money is two hundred thousand. Hopefully the best-selling sales," said Amanda.

"Aamiin, always convinced that God must love our fortune even though it is not through Apandi. I'm glad you finally took a stand. Although it is true that divorce is not favored by God but an unhealthy marriage will only add to our sins." Tania was embracing her best friend's shoulder. He's concerned about what happened with Amanda. Her best friend who used to be her girl was always chased by men now even hurt by her husband.

"Yes bawel! Thanks, Tan! Always there for me, come home!" Amanda immediately invited her best friend to go home.

Arriving at home late in the afternoon, it was seen that his neighbors were gathering in front of the Bude Marni house so Amanda immediately called them after she cleaned her merchandise negligee.

"Mom, let's see the negligee first! Who knows if someone likes." Amanda invites her neighbors to see the negligee she bought in Tanah Abang.

"You're selling negligee, Manda?" ask Bu Asih.

"Yes ma'am, let's get picked!" answer Amanda.

"Good Manda! Than you widow selling body mending sale negligee that is clearly halal," said Lela, her peers.

"Udah Bude doesn't papa!" Amanda just smiled wryly at what her schoolmate said. From the first Lela did like to talk as long as it was never thought the person would be hurt or not.

Regardless of what Lela said, the mothers were more absorbed in choosing a negligee to take home.

"How much is this manda?" ask Bu Asih on a long-handed negligee.

"95 thousand only ma'am!" sahut Amanda's.

"May you be less Manda?"

"By Mom, less is less is 90 grand."

"85 thousand Manda, I take two." Tawar Bu Asih's.

"It's okay, ma'am, as a seller." Amanda smiled happily because the goods sold liked the buyer.

Some of Amanda's merchandise has been overrun by her neighbors, only some of the remaining ones were brought by Tania to be offered to her office friends. However, somehow Amanda felt that there was something lacking when she saw the average negligee model that was like that, loose like a bat made from adem so she tried to design her own negligent model as she wanted.

"It's a good thing there's still a mother's sewing machine, so I can still wear it" Amanda murmured softly.

When it was dark, Apandi came to deliver Azka and Kia because they did not want to be invited to stay at his grandmother's house.

"Assalamu'alaikum," cried Kia who was followed by Azka.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" Amanda replied as she opened the front door.

Kia and Azka immediately rushed into Amanda's arms. Although only a few hours they did not meet but the feeling of kangen was felt in his chest.

"Mother, Kia does not want to go to the grandmother's house if there is no Mother," Kia told Amanda.

"Why indeed? 'The same father was there, '" asked Amanda in surprise.

"Grandmother continued to rage, forbidding Kia to continue!" Kia still hugged Amanda like she was afraid of being left again by her mother.

"So Kia did not want diem, so Mother was angry with him when Kia broke the mother's favorite urn," explained Apandi. "By straight home, it's night."

"Yes, be careful on the road!"

After the departure of her ex-husband, Amanda immediately invited her two children to go to sleep, especially she saw Azka as she was already heavily sleepy.

After his two children fell asleep, Amanda also began to doodle the book to make a negligent model as she wanted.

Hopefully, this is a good start to start a business. Mother, I pray for your son to be successful in his business.
