My cousin Maduku
Chapter 14 Selling a House

"You're nothing Ris! Siska left because of your outrageous remarks. He must be offended. What do you think she is a woman?. He's your own cousin. But you can accuse him of being a no-no. You're petty, Ris!." Mas Danang again raised the sound to several octaves. A flash of anger emanated clearly on his brown-colored bead.

"Why do you defend her so much, Mom?. What is your relationship with Siska? What I said was not wrong, right? you and Siska are not muhrim, neither are you two.

"You're now accusing me of being a non-no. Siska's your cousin and she's pregnant, how many times have I told her that her husband left Siska to me to take her home. Do you no longer believe in your husband?."so Mas Danang yelled at me. Just this time Mas Danang yelled at me for the sake of other women, usually he always said meekly and it was just a cover. Now I know for Mas Danang I mean nothing.

"Why should the storm only trivial matter anyway Mas? if you want to take Siska please I won't prevent you. And it convinced me that everything I was accusing about Siska and you was right." I no longer cared about the scenario or plan I made with Septia, just followed the plot. Somehow in the future, let it be business later.

Seen Mas Danang sighed violently and tried to relieve the anger that had exploded earlier "I am tired and want to rest. I'm sorry De, Mas khilaf. But what you're accusing Mas of is not true. I swear on Mom's behalf, I never cheated."

I was shocked to hear Mas Danang's words using the word vow to convince me that I would believe him. How brave Mas Danang, is he not at all afraid, does he not know the consequences if he has played with the word oath? though it was clear I knew about your affair with Siska, Mas.

"Be careful, Mom. Don't mess with the swear word. Moreover, you carry around Mother's name." I remembered him.

"That shows if what I said is true!" he said casually.

"Clearly," I said unconcerned and passed away leaving Mas Danang who was still silent in his place.

"You're sure you want to sell your assets?." asked Septia looking at me seriously. While I plucked the pandan sponge cake that was on the plate. It never fails, the sponge made by Septia. He's really talented.

"Remain sure, wait a minute? I'm sick of all this." answered me and chewed on the sponge cake made by my best friend.

"Then I have an acquaintance who wants to buy a building and a place of business. Like he'd be fit to see your manicured home and shop and have a tragic place."

"Good! you just call him! if it can be soon. I don't want to keep a sludge around me for too long."

"Relax me to call him now!" said Septia, then fiddled with her screen and contacted someone.

It's just a matter of how to get Mas Danang out of my house.

***

After all night I stayed at Septia's house. Dingan call Mas Danang many times I did not reveal.

Today's plan is to meet a prospective buyer who turns out to be Septia's husband's cousin.

Septia and I went by car to travel to my hometown.

"Ris, are you ready to divorce Mas Danang?" asked Septia.

"Yakin, Yeah. I no longer want to deal with male model Mas Danang. Why defend a man like him. I'm tired of his behavior. Maintaining a relationship with him is the same as maintaining endless wounds. Isn't marriage for happiness? why defend it if it only hurts." My decision has been made to sue Mas Danang for divorce.

"Whatever your decision I will support and strive to help. There may be wisdom behind you not having children again even though your marriage age is 4 years."

I nodded, Septia was right. Perhaps this is the wisdom why God never gave me more offspring in our marriage. After giving birth and our baby died from the womb. I used to pray to be given offspring again. But now I am thankful that God did not grant my prayer.

Finally 3 to 4 hours drive we have arrived at my residence.

"House is clean, beautiful and well-maintained I like." praise my prospective buyer was smiling after finishing looking around the house.

"So the deal sir, the price is according to the agreement at the beginning?" I asked to confirm.

"Ready Ma'am. I'll transfer as proof so and the rest of it I'll send after I see the store" said my prospective buyer.

"Okay sir, thank you. Later it can be in the context again as well as bring a notary to return the name."

"Okay Ma'am, if that's what I want to resign. Do you want to be with me?." asked Deni, my prospective buyer and also Tya's husband's cousin.

"First, my husband will pick me up." replied Septia.

"Okay then, I'm first yeah!."

"Dad." answered us simultaneously. Deni walked over and got into his car. Then the car drove away from the yard.

"Thank God everything went well, Ris." said Septia then landed her buttocks on the couch.

I sat down next to Septia.

"Thank you Tya, thanks to your help everything went well!."

"Opaan the hell Ris, like anyone. We are friends. And the companions must help each other." replied Septia sincerely while smiling.

"That I thank you very much. Somehow if there's no you, maybe I can't think straight to deal with those traitors."

"What next?" asked Septia.

"I'll give you therapy shock at Siska's 4th monthly event tomorrow in the village. I have a message that Mas Danang will come home here and tomorrow I will invite him to attend Siska's 4-monthly event there." I explained at length.

"Good, I support what you're doing. But you have to pay attention to your mother's health, fearing that something will not happen if you hear the news. I pray that your mother is strong."

"Aamiin," I replied smiling. I am grateful to have a friend like Septia. He was there when I was in a predicament, and I promised I would repay Septia later.
