What a Beautiful Divorce
14. The Divorce Lightning Caught Again

The cloudy weather did not make the spirit of planting Prapto and Nimo so decreased. Nimo seemed to be constantly examining the plants and prapto meticulously checking the condition of the farm animals as well as their homes. The cold cloudy wind made them smile gratefully.

"I like to garden in cloudy weather like this, Boss," Nimo said, looking at the signs on the tomato plants, to figure out when the tomatoes could be harvested.

"So, if the weather's clear you don't like gardening, Nimo?" prapto asked while marking the chicken egg with a marker, which will be moved where it is to be incubated. The eggs are marked so that other hen that lays eggs in place of the brooding hen can be easily distinguished eggs.

Nimo stood up, he then moved to the cucumber plant group. "Not so, the dashing Boss Prapto. Boss must understand what I mean. By the way, Boss, when do we ask Mr. Oscar to check prices to malls and supermarkets in big cities?"

"When the harvest wave comes, Nimo. Because if now, of course their stock is thinning, and we will not be able to see the price of all the Kejora village crops they sell. The day after the wave of harvest, we just invited Mr. Village Chief whose name is westernized," answered Prapto.

Nimo lit a cigarette while shaking her head. "This boss besides being gallant, it is also very smart, yes. I'm not a dreadlocks, boss. Seriously."

Prapto also lit his cigarette. "You're my best friend, but you just found out I'm dashing and smart. Where have you been, Nimo?" sahut Prapto laughs. They then stepped into the kitchen building to make coffee.

After Nimo placed the pot filled with water onto the stove, they sat down.

Prapto looked at Nimo. "Nimo. This natural farm doesn't work much, yes, compared to general farming and organic farming."

Nimo raised her hand which was holding a cigarette. "There's something to be corrected from your statement, boss."

Prapto looked at Nimo in wonder. "You mean?"

Nimo got up from his seat. "Water's cooking, boss. I made coffee first, yes, after that I just explained," he said.

Prapto took a deep breath. "Go ahead, Nimo!" said.

Nimo came carrying two hot cups of coffee with a big smile. "What I'm going to explain is that this is something that takes a deep meaning and takes a long time, Boss, so I made coffee first so that we are not late to eat it."

"alright. Now let's explain, simple Mr. Nimo!"

Nimo laughs. He then stared at the sky for a moment to look wise. "Brave and raise naturally it's not for me to work, boss. One of the originators of natural agriculture from Japan, Masanobu Fukuoka, said about this in his book entitled Revolution One Straw ..."

Humans are the only working creatures (between humans, animals, and plants), and according to Masanobu Fukuoka, that is ridiculous. Animals and plants make a living by living, but humans work like crazy.

It would be good to let go of that way of thinking and live an easy and comfortable life with plenty of free time. He thought that the way animals lived in the tropics, stepping out in the morning to see if there was something to eat, then taking a long nap in the afternoon, must have been a wonderful life

Nimo sipped his coffee while watching his boss digest the words of Masanobu Fukuoka he had just delivered.

After Prapto nodded, Nimo asked, "Boss understands what he means?"

Prapto. "You just said I was smart, Nimo, and now you've doubted my intelligence" he said. Prapto then sipped his coffee. "Try me to explain! I think your meaning is the same as mine."

"In natural farming and farming, the main goal is to meet our consumption needs without having to bother buying them and worrying about prices, Boss. Selling the harvest is only done if the granary in our garden we have filled for the supply of consumption from harvest to the next harvest" explained Nimo.

Nimo continued, "Natural gardening also makes us have much more free time with family, free time to relax, and free time to rest. So, we can easily be happy because our minds are not busy thinking about the madness of money. Moreover, the atmosphere of the garden will be cool, Boss."

For Prapto, although his money is not as much as his money when he became the manager of the company, his heart and mind are much calmer and cooler. Prapto really felt happiness in his life.

A few days ago, Tini who was on her way home, after eating fried rice sea food while looking at the beach with her affair, was, not feeling anxious at all when he knew that his phone was missing.

Tini was very sure that her phone was already locked, and indeed that was what was often done by Tini so that her husband did not see the contents of his conversation with 'Mila'.

"Are you sure, honey, that your phone is locked?" ask Tini's affair in an anxious tone.

"I'm sure, Star Dear. You don't have to worry! Timo believes in me anyway." replied Tini laughing, a laugh that sounded very reassuring.

Their car stopped in front of the gate of Tini's house. Tini had just exited the car door, when she heard a screaming sound from the steering chair.

Next to the steering bench, the car door was opened by Timo. Timo then pulls Mila's shirt, which turns out to be her real name 'Star' out of the car. The star whose hair was neatly combed back fell down. Just as the Star stood up and opened its eyes, a fist it saw was drifting from the bottom.

"Bukk!"

The star again smelled the asphalt. After opening his eyes, which were still twinkling with Timo's uppercut, Bintang heard Timo say, "That's you from here, Mila! My punch earlier was for your fault for having an affair with Tini who obviously had a husband. The rest is Tini's fault for being unfaithful to me. Get lost!"

The rising star stood with its eyes still twitching for fear of hearing Timo's snapping. He got into the car and drove away. The Star Car meandered for a while before speeding off steadily, as its eyes were still twitching.

Now Timo looked at Tini with a fiery look that exuded a gleam of disappointment. Timo had made up his mind after he watched a yutub video entitled What a Real Man Should Do If His Wife Betrays Him.

Timo grinning. "This is my home. All your clothes and stuff I put in the suitcase and you can pick up the suitcase near the fence. Don't you dare step on my house! I divorce you!"

"Durrr!"

The lightning that snatched Silvi while being divorced by Prapto now also snatched Tini right in front of him. Tini kneeled to look at Timo with tears in her eyes. Just like Silvi, when Timo becomes assertive and can act like a real man, the respect and love in Tini's heart grows.

But, just like Silvi, Tini was already too late. "I beg you, forgive me, dear! Give me one more chance!"

"Don't call me sweetheart, I'm disgusted to hear it. There's no apology for treason, Tini, no matter how small it is. Go!" timo said in a calm yet resolute and charming tone of voice, making Tini even more regretful of betraying him.

Timo went inside the house without looking back. It was completely indifferent to Tini's growing cries.

Prapto and Nimo have arrived in the town of Keladi to sell their crops. However, when they arrived at the store where they sold the crops, Prapto and Nimo were astonished because the shopkeeper said that their crops would be checked first before they were purchased.

The results of planting Prapto and Nimo were then taken by the shopkeeper to the back room.
