THE FORMER SHADOW
19. A meeting??

Badrina was providing breakfast assisted by a housekeeper. This morning he and Cantara plan to go to his physical store that serves offline and online sales. Badrina's business is engaged in the field of child fashion clothing.

Since her divorce from Arshaka, Badrina had to think about how to support herself. If the cost of living Cantara is still borne by Arshaka, even though Badrina never demands a variety.

"For Mama." Cantara peeked Badrina's cheeks and quickly sat down to enjoy his favorite breakfast, rice sat with pieces of omelet and tempe orek, and fruit.

"Canta, get ready. This mama's child is getting more and more sintered," said Badrina after filling Cantara's plate.

"Yes dong, Ma. Canta's gonna be helped by mom." Cantara's neat teeth line was visible as she spread her beautiful smile. Mother is Canta's calling to his nanny. Workers at Badrina's house there are two people, Badrina is in desperate need of their manpower considering the activity is also dense enough to take care of his business.

"After breakfast, wait for mama to finish first, son. Later after from his shop mama, we take a walk to the newly opened mall. Reportedly, there is a flower garden and ornamental birds. Canta must have loved to take her there," said Badrina added to the spirit of her little daughter.

Cantara could not imagine what the location and look of the mall was like, but he was enthusiastic to go with Badrina. He spends all his food with his own feed without the need to be helped by others. Sometimes still spilled, Badrina if reprimanding him never again in a loud voice, especially since Cantara came home from the hospital.

Badrina felt like a bribe that was still spilling over as part of her daughter's development. Badrina only needed to be patient until Cantara's hands were really deft in scooping her food right into her mouth.

Badrina and Cantara use taxi services to deliver to the store. Once there, they were greeted by the head of the store who was trusted to manage the sale of goods. In one special room, the head of the store submitted a report on the sales results to Badrina.

Once or twice a month Badrina will visit, the building is not only used as a shop, but the back of the building is also used as a warehouse that contains children's clothing from the age of 0 to 10 years.

"Numaira, child's nightgown seems less desirable huh. I see the sale is not like any other kind. Later the stock is spent only, if necessary given a discount because it has returned capital as well. Next month stopped buying from suppliers first yes," Badrina ordered after reading the report of the sale of her store products.

"Each Bu Rina, her nightgown is less desirable because the picture is too crowded Bu Rina. The customers that come usually I offer as well, on average they reason so," explained Numaira, the head of the store.

"Oh yes okay, next month the funds that should be to buy a child's nightgown, switch to the purchase of girls' dresses over 5 years ya Numaira so that the capital is spinning," added Badrina. Numaira recorded all the clues from Badrina, after which resigned herself back to work checking out the store.

"Canta, Mama's done. We continued walking to the mall that Mama said yes to this morning," asked Badrina. Cantara nodded in agreement, after which Badrina again ordered a taxi to the mall location.

"Mama, papa's not coming with us?" asked Canta, holding his mother's hand through the park in the new mall, he carried his pink bag. Occasionally see children his age come with family to the mall.

"So soon papa must still be working, son," said Badrina watching his son's gaze.

"Oh yeah, Canta forgot, Ma. Canta thinks it's a weekend off, he pats his forehead slowly, now it's not Saturday huh, Ma." Badrina nodded with a smile confirming her daughter's words.

It also looks like a fish pond decorated with water plants of the type of white lily. Badrina's favorite flower symbolizes trust and loyalty. Not to mention the large trees that cover the hot sun so they are not exposed directly to the skin of visitors.

The nuances of nature feel thick, the breeze adds coolness. Not many benches are placed, because the mall park is functioned as a photo location for visitors while looking at the surrounding scenery.

Badrina walked while holding her son's hand, she felt spoiled by the natural atmosphere. He walked through the park while staring and enjoying the beauty of this new mall.

Visitors at that time were not so crowded that Badrina and Cantara did not need to jostle with the others. When the night is approaching, then the mall park will be crowded.

Unintentionally, Badrina hit someone who was standing calling towards the lavender plant until it fell down with his phone.

"Ouch!" a woman screams when she hits the ground. The call on his phone was interrupted.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong not to see my mother standing here" Badrina said, helping her to stand up, "i was too fascinated by her natural nuances" after making sure she was standing perfectly. Badrina was so sorry for being less careful, even in her heart she was ready to get angry from the woman who was standing in front of her.

"It's okay, Ma'am. I was also wrong to stand recklessly," he argued. The woman so gently responded to Badrina's apology.

Badrina handed over the woman's cell phone which she caught when she fell. The two of them stared at each other for a long time then both smiled.

The woman's hospitality made Badrina feel relieved. There was no clash let alone caci maki, other than the beautiful woman who spoke so politely. Badrina offered to change her phone if it was damaged by the incident. However, the woman refused on the grounds that the phone was not damaged.

Afterwards, they part ways with their respective goals, Badrina and Cantara enter the mall while the woman with a small boy steps out towards a car.

In the office, Arshaka looks a little panicked. He was calling someone, his call was interrupted, "Maulidya, what happened?" arshaka asked for an explanation, after which their communication was reconnected.

"So. I was hit, Mas. Me and my phone fell off" he explained. He told me he was traveling with his daughter.

"Are you okay, Lidya? The mall park is that big, but there can be a main impact. Maybe that person again has the pressure of life," Kekeh Arshaka intended to comfort Maulidya.

"Em, Mas. who nubruk me... Badrina. We met" Maulidya said.

Arshaka was blocked, silence was created between them. Arshaka's naughtiness seemed to be swallowed up by the fact he had just heard.
