My Maduku the Princess in my house
12. parting

POV . Ditto

"Dit, here's your room so hopefully you can stay here ." Jodi opened the room door and told me to come in .

"thank you Jodi, you've accepted me here." I put a backpack containing some clothes and then walked along to Jodi .

"your children go where Jod is

,apparently the house is quiet ." I asked as we sat in the middle room .

"my first child worked in Bandung, the second one went to college in Jogja, I was alone at home, so I'm glad you want to stay here." said Jodi .

"yes you took a break at tomorrow morning, started working at my shop." I nodded and went back to my room .

finished the morning prayer I opened the door and breathed fresh air in the courtyard of Jodi's house .

I saw a woman passing in front of Jodi's house, she looked at me and smiled kindly .

I gasped, the woman's face why it looks so much like Siska my late wife, whether it's her spirit ,bathinku .

with curiosity I followed the woman who walked slowly towards the highway ,Until.in a vegetable stall she stopped .

I watched her from twenty meters away, I grew curious because of her face, hair and height were very similar to Siska .

when the woman finished shopping I followed her again, I wonder where her house is.

"mother has come home." asked a young man who was cleaning his motorbike .

"yes, this is the mother working for breakfast and lunch later." the woman went into the house .

I still stand not far from the courtyard of their house, a simple house painted in ash, whether Siska has a twin brother, but it is impossible that Andre never told this .

I walk towards Jodi's house, I see Jodi's art sweeping the yard .

"eh sir Dito from where this morning morning is." he asked watching me .

"street path mbak breath fresh air." said I .

I walked into the house and rushed to take a shower, today Jodi will take me to her building shop .

"it's ready to be." Jodi took the car keys and approached me.

"it's jod, Ayuk left." I grabbed my little bag on the table and walked along to Jodi .

ten minutes we arrived at the Jodi store in downtown, the shop was pretty big there were two male employees, and one female cashier .

"dit, I want you to keep an eye on this store, get out of things and what things to buy" Jodi said as we sat on a bench near the cashier .

"you don't come here every day, Jod."

"no dit , after there you later I will follow Angga in Bandung , the hotel that Angga wake up often in disturbed thugs , I will stay there to help Angga ."

"in front of that there is a motorbike, my employee used it but he has bought a new motorbike, you can wear it on ." said Jodi .

"oh, I'm so not good Jodi you're very good at giving me great confidence." I said lirih .

"we've known you for a long time, even though you were once my enemy, but it's over

" Jodi patted my shoulder .

I entered the warehouse behind the shophouse and checked all the building materials supplies, after taking notes I reported to Jodi .

Jodi was surprised by my report because the goods that came out did not match the report of Yulia cashier who was in her 30s .

I'm helping two long-time employees to help serve buyers .

the dislike faces of the two men beside me, I don't care about them and keep working .

"this is how the price is cheaper with new employees" said a man when paying the cashier .

I approached the middle-aged man and questioned him .

"emang usually buy here how much it costs." ask me seriously .

"this is the difference is quite loh mas, every other item 7-10 thousand if I shop a lot Can be quite high in number." the man Manarik the corner of his lips .

"yes sir, I will fix the price here later, thank you for shopping here sir may be satisfied." said me with a smile .

after the father left the two male employees increasingly look at me dislike, as well as the cashier, I feel a lot is not right here .

at five o'clock in the afternoon I went back to Jodi's house, the motorbike Jodi gave me was still nice and well-groomed, as I was about to run the tail motor my eyes saw three store employees talking .

"afternoon Jod, my clothes when I saw Jodi sitting on the terrace holding her phone.

"have come home here to sit." Jodi told me .

"Jod, I'm sorry I have to say this, it looks like in your store something went wrong." I started the conversation .

"your employees sell materials quite high but are reported financially according to the price you peg ."

"today I watched myself as the buyers protested because the price I gave was cheaper than they made .' I snorted angrily and stared at Jodi.

"Hem, it is fitting that at the end of this I am suspicious of the financial statements given by Yulia, not in accordance with the stock of goods .

Jodi seemed to be thinking and she held her body towards me.

"you keep an eye on them ' 'cause if I get evidence, I'll report them to the police 'this can't be let '" Jodi looked at me .

"sir Jodi this afternoon there are guests who want to meet the father, he intends to work together to supply goods to this store, I will accompany the father to meet my client ." yulia said as Jodi and I reached the store .

"whose people want to meet me." Jodi said .

"from Palembang pak , he offers very cheap material meterial compared to other suppliers ." Yulia followed Jodi into her room.

I saw Yulia take out a sheet of paper onto Jodi's desk, Jodi checked it out .

"ehm .. alright later you come with me to see the client." said Jodi, Yulia nodded and walked out .

why is my heart uncomfortable, looking at Yulia's eyes, I had assumed that she would do evil .

after all I'm a former criminal, I understand the gestures of someone who is setting up a strategy.

may Jodi be vigilant, is not he the head of the villain used to be, surely his feeling is stronger.

I was again busy working for the buyer, two male employees no longer looked at me cynically, even I was surprised because they both turned very friendly to me .

"coffee first, that I make coffee so as not to sleepy." said Erwin the longest employee in this store .

"iya win thanks ,nanggung nih bentar again kelar." sahutku parse smile .

at twelve o'clock in the afternoon Jodi left with Yulia driving the car, I sent a message to Jodi while she was on the road .

"Jod, don't forget to sharelok your meeting place later ."

"ok dit , if you want to come to lunch, just come in, but after my guest came home ya ."

" i hung up my phone and put it in my pants pocket .

at 2 pm Jodi sent me a message, he said he was at the hotel to take his guests and I was told to keep the house and shop because tomorrow morning he will go to Bandung .

"dit, I take my guests to the hotel and stay here ,tomorrow morning continue to Bandung, you take care of the house and shop yes , I tipped."

"iya Jod you just calm down, salam for Angga yes if it is already in Bandung ."

back I was preoccupied with the buyer, I saw Erwin carrying a medium-sized cardboard du to the back of the building, I did not have time to greet him because many buyers .

at half-six I told all the employees to go home and close the shop .

at Jodi's house I just stay alone because the art does not stay overnight, the morning comes and 7 pm comes home.

"sir Dito I excuse you to go home, dinner I have prepared at the dinner table." said Warsih art Jodi .

"iya mbak please, 'Oya mbak Warsih has not eaten yet , if not just eat the same as me ." bargained .

"no need sir, I have brought cooked food really, during my work here Jodi sir always told me to bring the food I cooked." said Warsih then saying goodbye while carrying a bushel .

after the prayer isya I took a cell phone and tried to contact Jodi, she did not answer my call, then there was an incoming message from her .

"dit, I'm not feeling tired all day accompanying my guests, tomorrow if it's been hummed we chat yes, I want to rest."

I read a message from Jodi and replied to her, reminding her to take medicine and rest .

"excuse me sir," I turned to the sound in front of the fence .

"yes there is nothing." I approached a woman who is very similar to Siska .

"can't I borrow gas, I want to cook gas runs out and coincidentally the front stall there closes." he said slowly .

"can you please come in." I opened the fence and took him into the house .

I took the gas canister that was still full and gave it to the woman .

"sorry whose name is mbak , we are neighbors but do not know the name ," I smiled as I gave the gas cylinder .

"i Endang mas, eh sir." said kikuk .

"i dito mbak , you should just call mas , our age does not seem to be far adrift ." cried .

endang pamit while carrying a gas cylinder, I drove him to the gate .
