Tough Widow
Shophouse for Ayu

Ayu laid Adiba on the bed. Stabbing it with bolsters on the left and right. He told Hanan to take a shower and prepare dinner.

''His soap ran out, Ma, '' Hanan shouted from behind the slightly open bathroom door. 

Ayu put down the knife and took the soap in the back closet. Then continue the cooking. While Alifa, the boy played with some toys that were bought by Surya. 

The phone rang again stopping Ayu's activity that was about to turn on the stove. 

''Who the hell is this? Don't tell me that it's Angga.'' Almost a full day he and the man separated, but still seemed to be near him.

The smile that was about to expand back dimmed when looking at the name that was twinkling on the screen. 

''Rani, why did he call me?'' 

Ayu's finger floated indecisive between accepting or not, given the crimes the woman had committed. Moreover, Angga has warned not to relate to him anymore. 

What if it's important?  

Ayu put her phone on the table. Trying to bear with a person who has almost twice taken away his happiness. 

''He will know my house, if it is necessary it will definitely come here, '' he murmured and resumed his activities. 

Nearly ten missed calls made Ayu wonder what the woman would say. However, he still tries to respect himself by not being easily influenced by people who have hurt him. 

Hanan came out of the bathroom and approached Ayu. Smells the smell of food that is almost cooked.

''If Papa Angga was here, he would have said he was hungry, Hanan said as he dried his hair with a small towel.

Ayu chuckles. It turned out that Hanan had been paying attention to the ridiculous habit of Angga. 

''A piece of change of clothes! Get in the wind!'' tell Ayu to Hanan who sniffed her nose. 

''Papa Angga said later that he came home had to see me become a mature and responsible man. He also wanted to see me as a filial son to my mother, Hanan said as Angga said before splitting up. 

Ayu only chimed in with a faint smile. 

Soon the sound of knocking on the door blew Ayu who was reminded of Angga's ridiculous behavior. 

''Who comes at nights like this? It can't be Angga, right? Or maybe Rani?'' terka. 

Ayu tidied up her hijab. Clean the things in the living room and open the door. 

Not the so-called person, but rather the beautiful woman who worked in Angga's office. He is Riska. 

''What are you doing here?'' asked Ayu who forgot to let her guest in. 

''Sorry, Madam. I just want to convey the mandate of Mr. Angga, said Rani opened the bag he carried. 

Ayu let her in and closed the door. I forgot to make drinks for the woman. 

''What message does Angga say?'' ask Ayu curiously. 

Hanan could only peek behind the bedroom door.

Riska opened a green map and gave it to Ayu. 

''This is a shophouse that you can use to sell. The place is comfortable and also strategic, there are two floors that make it easy for you to bring children. There is also complete household furniture and a bedroom. So you don't have to worry and worry.'' 

''Sorry, I can't accept it,'' Ayu refused without further ado. 

Riska smiled a little. 

''Listen to my explanation, ma'am!'' pinta Riska is serious. 

Ayu looked at the beautiful looking secretary's face. 

''Uncle Proud not to give this for free, because he knows that you will not accept it. So he told you to hire him. About the payment can be at the beginning or end and can also be repaid according to ability.'' 

Ayu was sure it was only Angga's reason for him to accept it. However, he couldn't possibly disappoint the man's efforts. 

''All right, I agree. I'll see the place. How much do I have to pay for a month?" ayu asked suspiciously, he was afraid that his income would not match his rental place. 

Riska shows the price written by Angga. "Pak Angga's word can be bargained if you can't afford it, ma'am" he said as Angga said before leaving. 

He underestimated me. 

''I agree, ''' Ayu replied without thinking. Want to prove to Angga that not as weak as the man thought. 

''If it's not busy I can drop you off now, Mom. The problem is tomorrow there's an important meeting I have to lead." Riska looked at the clock in her hand. Making sure the time is still enough to take Ayu to the location. 

''But it's almost night, Ma'am. Adiba is also asleep." Ayu looked at Adiba who was curled up on the bed. 

''Papa, let me take care.'' Bi Ninik said from the front door. As if everything was planned. 

Not wanting to trouble Riska who was very busy, forced Ayu to go with the woman. 

''Careful, Yu. Good luck," said bi Ninik while staring at Ayu's back passed. 

It did not take long, Riska and Ayu had arrived in front of a rather luxurious shophouse.

Ayu stared at the building from inside the car. "Does this belong to Angga's mas or does he rent from someone else?" ask Ayu to investigate. 

Riska take off seatbelt. "It's a business between Mom and Angga sir. So there are only two parties, that means this place is purely owned by Angga sir, and there are no third parties anymore. 

Ayu nodded in understanding. 

There's-there's a way.

Ayu down. Now it is clear that Angga still monitors it even from a distance. It was proven that the man had prepared some of the facilities needed without Ayu asking. 

Riska opens the front door. It looks like the room below is very large. There are several cabinets and chairs as well as a new storefront. Some stuff in the corner. 

"Mom can put the items that will be sold here.'' Designate one of the large rooms on the left. "Then this is pecking.'' Pointing to the one next to it. Then continue his steps towards the middle room. ''It's a resting place for employees.'' Pointing towards the north. ''This is mom's room to arrange everything.'' Riska opened the door of the room in the middle. 

''The bathroom and kitchen are there, ma'am.'' Pointing towards the back. After being satisfied to serve the lower floor, Riska invited Ayu to the upper floor. Having just arrived at the end of the stairs, Ayu was already spoiled with some pictures displayed on the wall. A beautiful and luxurious painting adorned the place. 

''This one is specifically for mothers and children. No one can bring things up. If the bottom is less spacious, then the mother just said and will be added another room.''

Ayu was satisfied with the place and shook hands with Riska. ''Tell Angga I agree and will use this place to sell.'' 

Not do not want to say directly, but Ayu avoid the fight Angga who might make him unfocused.
