The Household Ark
prejudgement

the sun is getting hotter and the heat is very stinging burning skin. Ridho walked in the direction of the house that was so quiet.

usually at lunch like this he will be accompanied by his wife and serve him to prepare food, but now he has to eat alone because Shanti has not returned.

the rice and side dishes that Shanti had prepared this morning filled her plate, she sat alone in the chair.

he stared blankly at the dining room which was usually crowded and boisterous due to the uproar of his two daughters, and patiently Shanti would serve him there. but I don't know why at the moment his feelings are a little unsettled.

he misses his wife very much and always imagined his face.There is a little feeling restless.but a moment ago SMS from his wife who said that would come home late because a little business makes her reluctant to think a lot.

he quickly finished his meal and soon returned to the barn, alternating with his men who would rest and also have lunch.

"eh that's mas Ridho mbax Mirna, please just ask him yourself."

from a distance, he heard people talking about him.

"what's the matter Bim?!"

he approached the two men who turned out to be Bimbi and Mirna who were standing at the door of the warehouse as if waiting for his arrival.

Mirna is a young widow who has no children. Her husband divorced her because he was 5th married not even in the gift of a momongan.

he lived on his own almost 2nd and managed his own farm to fulfill his life.

even so Mirna is considered a rich widow.her gono-gini treasure with her husband fell to her all because the husband was caught cheating on her.

" this is Ridho mas, Mbax Mirna wants to sell potatoes but has not been dismantled still in the field."

"iya mas Ridho, if Ridho mas can take everything I will dismantle tomorrow."

"how many potatoes are there mbax?!"

"my estimate is about 10 tons."

"wah a lot of it mbax... indeed in the field where mbax potatoes?! far no?!"

"not far from Ridho.!"

"owh there. the car can go directly means yes.?;"

"yes, I can."

"let's go in first mbax let me count first and then I'll look at the land!"

"well Ridho."

they went from there and went into the warehouse to talk about prices and so on.

"please sit down first Mbax Mirna.!"

Mirna took a seat opposite to Ridho.

seriously Ridho fiddled with the kalcucator before him counting and then he recorded it on the bon paper.

"mbax loading and unloading costs want me to be responsible or how mbax?!"

still with his gaze fixed on the paper in his hand Ridho asked Mirna.

but for a long time he waited for an answer from Mirna never existed.I don't know why Mirna even kept quiet.

Ridho raised his head and in his eyes Mirna with a little wonder.the reason the woman was daydreaming and her eyes were on him.

"mbax Mirna?! listen I don't?!"

Ridho shook his hand before Mirna's face.

"e... eh... mas Ridho said what?! sorry I didn't hear."

Mirna replied stammered.he was a little embarrassed because he was discovered to be daydreaming.

"think what the hell mbax Sampek so dreamy? the distance is just a few jengkal why do I say mbax Mirna do not hear?!"

he was bowed. his face met red.who is not ashamed if there is in this condition.a widow who lived alone for two years was caught daydreaming in front of handsome men like Ridho.

clearly he felt like he wanted to sink to the bottom of the earth to hide the shame that had reached the crown.

"i said the unloading fee wanted me to take responsibility or what?!"

Ridho repeated his words again.

"usually how is it?! because only this time I want to sell the same mas Ridho so do not know how usually."

"yes I am flexible aja mbax. if you want the cost of unloading I take responsibility later I will recalculate.but if you do not want to yes I will love this price to mbax Mirna"

Ridho handed him a paper that already contained the price and the overall amount of potatoes he would buy.

"yes this is it mas. later let me bear the cost of unloading, because my farm men who happen to be working on it tomorrow."

"okay lah then I just take it right means yes mbax?!"

"yes, I."

after that they were silent for a moment. slightly felt awkward because Mirna who was relentlessly glancing towards Ridho.

it did not feel almost an hour Mirna was there.he glanced at the clock on the wall of the warehouse already showed at half-three noon.

"yes, I'll excuse you first, then."

"uh. yes mbax. tomorrow morning let me go there"

Mirna no longer replied, she just nodded her head and moved from her seat.she walked towards the exit.before she reached the door Ridho again called her.

"eh mbax. forgot to ask for my HP number. let's easily contact her tomorrow."

deck. Mirna silently pecked for a moment. digesting Ridho's slightly ambiguous speech for her.

Mirna kok baper yes just because Ridho asked for his HP number, but he asked her to make it easier for them to communicate in the business of buying and selling only.

while thinking hard and baper really he came back to Ridho and wrote his no hp to the paper that Ridho put on him.

"already mas. it's my HP no. tomorrow just stay the phone."

"ok mbax, thank you."

with a friendly smile Ridho again made the Mirna baper abis.fortunately not nosebleed him!

after that he again stepped out to approach his motorbike parked outside followed by Ridho behind him.

"i'll excuse you, Ridho"

Mirna smiled sweetly as she went to ride her matic motorbike at moderate speed.

Ridho just nodded.

"widow's that widow here?!"

suddenly, a voice surprised him.

"jeez, deck. You're just shocked!"

"i'm here already cooking you don't know!"

"your people came without a sound that I don't know."

"anyways be tempted by the rich widow Mirna, right?!"

"loh you come immediately angry anyway deck?!"

Shanti was silent. pouting and turned her face.she felt annoyed when she saw her husband chatting with a widow.

but yes, the name is also a woman who was angry first before asking what the truth is.
