Chapter 6 - Shop

My sister and I agreed that every weekend, its either we will go out or they will visit us.

This is the second week. My sister texted that she and Jae were going home.

"Well, big sister will come later. She will bring Jae." I said to him as I washed the dishes.

"Who is Jae?" he asked.

I stopped at that moment.

* flashback

"as much as possible, do not force him to remember what happened or who he is, like that, especially you, often in such cases, he will forget his family and those he met, starting with the name, until he no longer you recognize even in the face. Instead, introduce yourself, like "I am .... 'when you go somewhere, you just ask him if he it's nice, not the 'do you remember, that we used to have a picnic here?' This is a good therapy in your dad's case. "

the doctor said very calmly. "Help him in a simple way, even if there is no cure for this disease."

* end of flashback

"later you will know who he is. you will like him, I promise!" I said.

"Ok fine. By the way, did you notice Art earlier? I don't seem to understand him before. He said he paid me for what I repaired, but he didn't give me anything."

"How much was given to you?"

"That costs 700. He even shouted at me but, I really didn't get any money."

"I'll try to talk to him later. Please rest first."

"How's the shop?"

"You won't lose money if you rest, right? I'll take care of it. When someone repairs it, I'll just leave the machine alone when you wake up and then work." calm Sadie, calm.

"Are you angry too?" he entered his room.

What was that? He misunderstood me! He forgot to turn off the TV. Is it really like this when you get older?

I was worried that he might leave an appliance plugged in when I was at school.

I entered the garage and saw money on the floor near the chair.

The money is exactly 700 pesos.

This is probably Mang Art's payment to papa. I immediately texted brother Ed.

'hello Ed, please tell your dad that sorry for earlier. the money he paid to dad fell. I'm sorry. I let papa rest first so I'm gonna take charge of the shop first'

He replied immediately. 'okay thank you.'

We are actually neighbors, about ten houses between us. We just parted ways before because I went to my sister.

A few minutes later, an acquaintance of dad came. "Where is your dad?"

"He's resting."

"Please tell him, the machine he repaired is still faulty. It's a pity I paid, it seems like nothing happened. He just removed the screw. When he returned it me, it was not fixed." the tone of his voice was quite high.

"Is that so? Can you bring it here to check again? I'm sorry. We just let him rest because, he is very tired."

"He didn't fail to do such repairs, a lot of people trusts him because his repairs are the best in our area, I don't know why that happened."

"I'm really sorry."

someone else came, it was more aggressive.

"Where is your dad?! This bicycle he repaired was even more damaged. It seems like he wants more money so that his customer can come back." he was still holding his bike.

"Wait a minute, calm down sir. Don't say such bad words against my father, don't be so rude."

"If you don't want to hear that, then tell him to do his job well." I don't like what he is saying.

"Excuse me. Think what you say sir, if you do not want a fight here. You can leave your bicycle so we can check what is wrong. Dad is currently resting, I hope you understand that he is sick. Come back after two days. Thank you very much for understanding. "

He left it with a bang. For Pete's sake. Wow. Now I know why the bike is broken,  cause the owner is also need to be fixed.

"Is it true that your dad is sick?" the man who I entertained awhile ago was still here.

I smiled at him, "we believe he will recover."

"All right, I'll come back with the machine. Thank you."

I have never been able to talk like that, this is the first time.

So now, my current problem is, how can I fix that man's bike? I already told my dad to teach me how to do mechanic jobs.

My sister arrived with Jae around four o'clock. I told her what happened and she could not believe what I did.

"This chance is a lot of help huh?" said the sister.

"Yes, So much."

We entered the house, and we saw dad having coffee in the dining room.

He smiled at us and said, "Join me."
