1 METER OF FOOT
LITTLE BY LITTLE

Back to Shanum again yuk.

Shanum who had arrived at his rented house headed straight to the back of the house. Although the house in the village is not too broad or large, but make no mistake, the land behind, side and front of the house is still arguably broad and wide.

The empty land that Shanum used to dry all his clothes, now he will use to grow crops.

Shanum practiced how to plant all the seeds exactly as Idris' grandfather had told him.

Although tired, but Shanum was very happy to do it. Because he had always loved planting.

After many hours he planted all the seeds, finally the activity was completed as well.

Shanum rubbed the sweat that soaked his face and forehead. "Alhamdulillah is done too."

"May all these seeds grow healthy and fertile. Aamiin's."

Shanum then chose to teach inside his house, to remove his sweat in front of the fan he had bought yesterday by asking for help to RT sir.

"I'm very happy to stay here. In addition to the cool air, here is also not too noisy with passing vehicles."

"When I can buy my own bike, if I need anything at the market, I can get there on that bike." Shanum spoke to himself while staring at the ceiling of his room.

Shanum then got up from the bedside to go into his closet. The closet that the owner left.

Shanum then calculated the remaining savings and money gono gini divorce proceeds first with imran.

"Alhamdulillah is still enough for selling capital. But not enough to buy a bike."

"Let's. I want to save up first, for a while I have to cut."

Not felt, it was time for Shanum to sell side dishes for the first time. All side dishes there are various types of vegetables that are certainly healthy. There are at least ten kinds of menus that can be chosen by the buyers. All of the dishes had already been neatly wrapped by Shanum. So he just sold it without bothering to wrap it up one by one.

The first customer has arrived. Shanum graciously greeted him and explained what vegetables he cooked. The second customer has also come, the third, fourth and so on have started to come to taste Shanum's cuisine.

For the first day of sale, buyers who come to the Shanum stall include already thank God. Shanum's smile looks very cheerful, because the rest of the merchandise is not too much.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah. Just this whole thing."

"Better, I just share it with those in need, rather than with Mubadzir."

Shanum then put the rest of his merchandise into a large plastic bag. Afterwards, he tried to borrow a bicycle to Idris' grandfather who was alhamdulillah allowed.

Shanum pedaled the bike casually while enjoying the atmosphere of his hometown. When Shanum passed through the expanse of rice fields, he accidentally saw some people working in the rice fields.

"Better I give to the fathers and mothers. Who knows they haven't brought food."

Shanum then got off the bike. And call one of the fathers or mothers who are working in the fields. "Sir! Mama!"

"Yes Ma'am!" sahut from the mothers and fathers while shouting.

"I have food, it's for you!" shanum shouted again.

"Take it," said Shanum.

One of the fathers and mothers immediately walked closer to Shanum who was on the side of the road.

Arriving in front of Shanum. Shanum immediately gave the rest of his merchandise that was not sold to them.

"Sir! Ma! There's a little food for you. Take it, from mubadzir."

Shanum nodded his head. "real Mom. I contracted the house next to Idris' grandfather's house."

"What's the sales pitch?" ask the father too.

"Yes Sir! I started today selling side dishes that are ready to eat. Rather than this mubadzir I better just share it."

"Goddessa. Thanks Ma'am. I'll buy her cooking sometime."

Shanum smiled behind his niqab. "Yes Mom! Then excuse me, ma'am. It's almost dhuhur, assalamu'alaikum."

"Thank you, Ma'am. Wa'alaikumussalam," said the mother and father simultaneously.

Shanum immediately passed back to his home. While the father and mother immediately approached his friends to enjoy the food given Shanum.

According to them, Shanum's cooking is delicious and can enter with their tongues. They all fit in with Shanum's cooking. The taste of the dish includes the fit on the tongue.

Return to Mu'idah's mother for a moment. After he came home from Imran's house. Inside the house, she continued to cry and instead remembered Shanum continuously.

Mu'idah's mother remembered all her attitude towards Shanum which she had now experienced by herself.

Mu'idah's mother did not expect, the daughter-in-law he defended desperately, even dared to make her a maid and also slandered her. Regretting is useless for him now. Because what you plant, that is what you will reap.

Imran is almost the same as his mother. He almost every time and time fought constantly with Linda.

Go home from work, instead of being greeted with a smile and good cooking. Imran was greeted with silence, because Linda was still busy in her shop.

"Linda! Where are you at? Husband comes home instead of home, even you are not there!"

"Linda's in Mas' shop! Remember Mas! It's Linda! Not Shanum! Which is always twenty-four hours being at home and serving Mas! What kind of maid is Linda!"

Linda turned off her phone. And Imran directly rubbed his face violently. He remembered Shanum who always greeted him when he came home from work. Now that welcome has not been obtained Imran since a few months ago.

Even now Imran feels regret for having been rude to Shanum before they divorced first. Imran hopes that this is a dream. The dream that one day he woke up had returned like all. I could be with Shanum again. But this is not a dream, but a reality that Imran has chosen and faced.

Back to Shanum again. Not felt, Shanum selling the results of his cooking that has been about a month. And Shanum's customers are growing. Even Shanum already has regular customers.

Shanum was very surprised when he found out who bought his food was from the village next door. Shanum thought the food was only the one who bought the neighbors, but not yearsya, it has spread everywhere.

Shanum, who was counting his money, had already accumulated quite a lot, and he was very happy.

"Alhamdulillah. Enough money to buy a bike." Shanum smiled with excitement.

With great zeal. Shanum asked his next door neighbor for help to drive him to the market.

"Thank you Ma. It's about to take Shanum to the market."

Neighbor Shanum smiled. "Together Shanum. I chose the bike, right?"

Shanum's nudging. "By Mom!"

Shanum and the mother then pick out the bike that is displayed in the bike shop. After a while choosing a bicycle, finally, Shanum's heart was captivated by the brown-white bicycle with a basket that was in matching color.
