Survive Though Injured
Chapter 1 - Selling a Car

A bright morning in a luxurious house, a family enjoying breakfast together.

The routine every morning was carried out by the family of Ivan Dipa Ardjaya with his wife and two children Dimas and Tria.

"When will you go to America?" ask Dimas.

"Maybe another week,"

"Can I come?" ask Tria.

"You are still in Tria's college" said Roses.

"But I want to go there, Ma."

"Other times," said the Rose.

"What does Papa have to do with always pacing there?" ask Dimas.

"In addition to business, Papa also wants to visit a friend who happens to be in treatment there," replied Ivan.

"Oh" said his two sons.

"Dimas, do you have a lover?" ask Ivan.

"Yet, Pa."

"No woman would go near him, Pa." Chirps Tria.

"Why is that?" Ivan curious.

"I haven't been able to divide my time between work and women, Pa." Clear Dimas.

"Oh, so." Ivan understood it.

"Why did Papa ask Dimas that?" ask Roses.

"Papa actually wanted to match Dimas with the daughter of Papa's friend" replied Ivan.

Tria laughed when she heard it.

"Which Papa's friend?" ask Roses.

"Papa's friends are in America again," replied Ivan.

"Sir Joshi?" ask Roses.

Ivan assented.

"Mama knows her daughter" said the spirit Rose. "Mama agrees that Dimas is married to her" he said.

"Dimas doesn't want to be betrothed!" reject it.

"Dimas, that girl is very nice and pretty. Mama met him once. Mama sure you'll like it" Rose said confidently.

"You're as pretty as she is, I don't like being set up. I am a man, entitled to determine the future wife. Not Mama or Papa" said Dimas firmly.

"Dimits..." Rose wanted to talk but her husband touched her hand giving her enough cues.

Dimas ended his breakfast, grabbed his briefcase and car keys and passed.

"Ma, Pa, Brother Dimas is handsome and well-established. I think if he wants to find a woman who is beautiful and smart and rich, he can. What else is being arranged for?" ask Tria.

"Tria, this girl is very nice. Mama believes and believes that she is very sincere" said Roses.

"I became curious as to what kind of girl to be betrothed to Kak Dimas," Tria smiled cynically.

"If Dimas doesn't want to, Papa won't force it either. Maybe he can get a better man than your brother" said Ivan.

-

Dimas arrived at his office, his face looking hostile. How not, early in the morning his parents had discussed arranged marriage.

The door opened, a 25-year-old woman threw a smile at Dimas. "A cup of coffee for you!"

"Thank you" he said without a smile.

"Looks like there's a problem" guessed the woman named Lala.

"Nothing, you can get out" said Dimas flatly.

"Dimas, we've been friends for a long time. Quickly tell me what's going on with you?"

"I'm fine" he replied without staring.

"Surely you've got a problem with your family again, yes."

Dimas sighed then looked at the woman before him. "Can't you if you don't have to interfere in my business?"

"Ups, I'm sorry if I interfere too much" Lala replied.

"I don't want to be disturbed" Dimas said.

"Alright, calm yourself now. If you need a chat, I'm ready to help you," Lala stood up and stepped out of the room.

Dimas sipped coffee and started his job.

After a few minutes of work, the door was knocked back.

"Come in!"

The door opened and a man opened his head and said, "Sir Dimas, we need your help!"

Dimas directed his gaze toward his employees, "What's wrong?"

"There was a woman he was trying to sell his car at a great price" he replied.

"If the car is still good and maintained provide in accordance with the market price," said Dimas.

Dimas sighed then said, "Alright, I'll meet him." He returned his chair and stood up.

The male employee opened the door wide and Dimas walked out of his room.

Go first to the customer who the employee thinks is strange.

"Is there anything we can help you with?" ask Dimas.

The woman who was arguing with other male employees looked back, momentarily glued to see the good looks of the owner of the luxury car showroom.

"Can I help you?" ask Dimas again.

"A..ada.." she answered.

"I hear from employees if you want to sell cars but ask for high prices" said Dimas.

"I.iya.iya because my car is expensive," he explained looking nervous.

"Can I see the car?"

"Could be, the car is outside" he replied.

Dimas walked with the women towards the parking lot to see a luxury car output a few years ago.

"How much do you want to sell this car?"

"One and a half billion."

Dimas laughed a little.

The woman pulled the corner of her lips looking at the smile of the man before her.

"You don't joke, this car that just cost one and a half, there's no way I should buy it at the same price."

"Said Ivan, I can sell the price of the car as I want."

"Om Ivan who?"

"Say he's the owner of this car showroom, Om Ivan said if later I will meet his son," he said.

"I'll call Mr. Ivan shortly" Dimas said.

Going a short distance from there Dimas called his father, "Hello!"

"Hello, Dimas. Is Alya there yet?"

"Oh, so the woman's name is Alya."

"Yes, Dimas. He wants to sell the car, you just give him what he asks."

"I won't give it to him, Pa."

"Just give it to him, please help him!"

"I still don't want to, Pa. We will lose money if we have to buy a used car but at a new price!"

"It's okay, son."

"I still wouldn't buy that car for that price!" Dimas hung up.

Dimas then approached Alya.

"How's it?" With a face of spirit Alya was so impatient waiting for an answer from Dimas.

"I can't buy this car for that price."

"Why?"

"Our showroom should sell how much more, if the asking price is too high."

"Mas, help me. Buy this car at that price, I again need a lot of money for papa's medicine," he said with a sad face.

"I still can't, if you want me to dare to pay it for seven hundred million."

"It's too cheap, can't it be added?"

"Can't, if I want I'll buy it."

Alya was still thinking and standing.

"How's it?"

"May plus a little?"

"No, I can only afford it at that price."

Alya clenched her hands together, "Help me, Mas. Buy this car at a high price."

Dimas stared at his watch, "I don't have much time, if I want I will buy it. Or you could offer it to someone else."

Alya was still silent and thought, she was paying attention to her car as a whole. There was sadness if he had to sell it, but he had no choice. The health of the papa is more important especially the only treasure is the middle-aged man.

The saturated dimas finally chose to leave the woman.
