SPD (Daster Seller Sale)
67. Reluctant to Discuss

"AK group?"ask Geno.

"Yes, pa. They offer the lowest cost of any other company to build the hotel we are going to set up. If papa signs an agreement to cooperate tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow his construction will start soon, "sahut Nando enthusiastically.

"Pa, you better find another contractor," Dimas said, making everyone look at him.

"Hey, traveling sales! Don't talk! Know what you're about business?"sergeant Nando.

"Silver can see the group's AK track record. They do their job quickly with lower cost quotes than other companies. But all the buildings they worked on almost all had problems. Five years ago the mall they built had problems on its escalators until an accident that left seven people dead. Three years ago, they built an apartment whose elevator had a problem that killed five people. Two years ago the hotel they built was not completed because there was a dispute with the hotel owner and there are still some other problems. You can find the information in more detail if you don't believe it" Dimas said at length.

"Don't bullshit!"sergeant Nando.

"Where do you know all that?"geno asked his forehead.

"I just love to keep up with the business world. If you want good development results, you can work with DD group companies. Although the cost they offer is quite high, but the results never disappoint," explained Dimas.

"Papa will see if Dimas' words are true or not. After that, papa will decide whether or not we will cooperate with their company, "sahut Geno decided.

"Papa believe in these traveling clothes sales?"nando asked in disbelief.

"What's wrong with researching it first? We will spend a lot of money on the construction of this hotel. Papa doesn't want to lose," Geno said, leaving Nando speechless. Hilda seemed reluctant to speak.

After dinner, they went to their rooms. Ayana and Dimas also entered the room. Ayana goes to the bathroom, while Dimas sits leaning on the headboard of the bed, busy with his phone as usual.

"Sister!"call Ayana while getting into bed.

"Hum,"sohut Dimas is still focusing on the phone screen.

"How many days will we stay here?"ask Ayana.

"Whatever you are," said Dimas.

"Then we go home tomorrow. What will you be doing in the morning?"tanya Ayana sat next to Dimas.

"anything. If you are the one who cooks it must be delicious," said Dimas without turning his eyes on the phone.

Ayana let out a long sigh looking at Dimas who seemed to be very focused on his phone, not even glancing at him at all, let alone looking at him. The girl chose to lay down her body playing her phone, occasionally the girl chuckled. Dimas glanced at Ayana who seemed busy replying to messages. The man put his phone on the nightstand and turned off the headlight.

"It's night. Sleep on!"said Dimas.

"In a moment,"sahut Ayana returned to reply to the message and then put her phone on the nightstand. The girl lay her head on Dimas's arm, then hugged Dimas' body.

"Sister, how many ex-girlfriends does your sister have?"ask Ayana suddenly.

Dimas was speechless at the question from Ayana. The bitter memory of his love story used to make Dimas' chest feel tight. Dimas lost everything he had because of the woman he used to love. And from then on, Dimas was never again close to any woman until Ayana came into his life. A little girl who thirsts for attention and affection. Which eventually forced her to marry him.

"Sister!"exclaims Ayana for not getting an answer from Dimas.

"It's night. Let's sleep!"said Dimas, clutching Ayana's body. The man was completely reluctant to discuss the matter of his ex-girlfriend.

Ayana was silent in Dimas' arms. The man did not answer her question, making Ayana even more curious. Finally Ayana fell asleep with her unanswered curiosity.

As usual, Ayana who was used to getting up early also moved from her bed, leaving Dimas who was still asleep. The girl rushed into the kitchen and saw what cooking ingredients were inside the refrigerator.

"Miss what?"ask ART in the house which is usually in charge of cooking.

"I want to prepare breakfast, Bik, "sahut Ayana, take out the ingredients she wants.

"What does Miss want to cook?"ask ART who saw Ayana take the meat out of the fridge.

"I want to make meat soto, Bik,"sahut Ayana.

"Let aunty alone cook, non," said ART. For many years working in that house, never once had the middle-aged woman seen Ayana cook. So the woman hesitated when Ayana said she was going to cook. Moreover, the cuisine to be made is not a simple cuisine.

"No, Bik. Aunty help me fry this shrimp cracker, "She said Ayana gave the crayfish on the ART.

"I brought yesterday, Bik. Kak Dimas really likes to eat shrimp crackers. Especially if the side dish is soto,"sahut Ayana who deftly has started cooking. ART was surprised to see Ayana who looks deft starting to process the ingredients. Cutting meat and preparing spices, looks very accustomed.

Finally the middle-aged woman let Ayana cook. An hour later, ART was amazed to see the breakfast made by Ayana. Its appearance, aroma, and taste are very appetizing.

"When can you cook?"ask ART it's curious.

"New, Bik. Bik, please clean the kitchen, yeah! I want to take a shower first" Ayana said after serving her cooking at the dinner table.

"Yes, non,"that's ART.

Ayana came into the room when Dimas just came out of the bathroom.

"Sister, we're home for breakfast, okay?"Ayana.

"hum. Shower first!"said Dimas.

Ayana cleans up, while Dimas takes care of their things.

Downstairs.

"What kind of cooking aunt? It smelled so good" asked Hilda who entered the dining room.

"So non Ayana cook meat soto, mistress,"sahut ART it.

"Ayana cook? Aunty don't joke," Hilda said in disbelief.

"What's up, ma?"ask Geno who just came with Nando.

"Here, auntie says Ayana's cooking our breakfast this time," said Hilda.

"Where possible," said Nando.

"Ayana can cook. Papa had stopped by their house and had dinner with them, "so Geno along with Ayana and Dimas entered the dining room.

"Come, breakfast!"invite Geno when Ayana and Dimas are sitting down.

Like last night, Ayana serves her father as well as her husband. They seemed to enjoy their breakfast.

"You, who's cooking, Ay?"geno asked while enjoying soto in his bowl.

"Yes, pa. Wh why? Doesn't it taste good?"ask Ayana.

"Enak, really. Very nice,"so Geno with a smile.

"Can you cook chicken opor and rendang?"ask Nando.

"Can,"sahut Ayana.

"Are you made a cook with your husband? Until you can cook a variety of dishes?"nando's lips.

"Find the soul mate of the rich even choose the cool,"grutu Hilda who can be heard by everyone.

"How much money have you been given monthly by your lovely husband?"asked Nando who was impressed with insult.

"I did what I wanted. Brother Dimas never told me to do anything. Brother Dimas always looks up and loves me. Never demanding anything from me, and always there for me. Never scolded me, let alone insulted me. And during my time with Dimas, I never felt short of anything. I feel happy living with Dimas. Not like living in this house. I feel unhappy living in this house. Because you're..."

"Yes!"
