BERHALA ISLAND
EPISODE 58: SETTING THE STALL

    The city of Jakarta is indeed getting more scary for Podin. Especially if you have to be close to the entertainment building, his karaoke place, Podin must be imagined by Maya. The female former karaoke guide whom she had to marry siri. But not as his wife sirin, but whenever Podin met Maya, then no other words from the mouth of Maya that came out, other than asking for money.

    Yes, as the word goes, Podin was devastated after marrying Maya. Although her status was only as the wife of the series, the Maya were more powerful to regulate Podin. Even Podin would have to expel his rightful wife along with his children, only because his house had to be sold to meet Maya's needs. After marrying Maya, it was as if Podin had forgotten everything with his family. Not only that, but Podin also had the heart to make his wife and children live miserable. It was all for Maya.

    But now, after Podin got a younger wife, namely Rina, although the predicate is only as a widow, and her work is also only as a housekeeper. But as felt by Podin, Rina is much better to be invited to a household.

    That's why, so Podin tried to run away from Maya, and wanted to build a peaceful household with Rina. Podin doesn't want to remember Maya. Even Podin gave up all the goods that had been given to Rina, including the place of business. Indeed, the house and luxury cars are already above the name Maya. It is impossible to ask for it again by Podin. That's what Maya wanted to use to rip up Podin's wealth. But, the problem of entertainment venues, karaoke business, it still has to be deposited to the initial owner. Let Maya be in charge. If later the installment of capital is not paid, so that you have will ask back the place of business.

    Eventually, Podin and Rina moved away. Podin bought a new house outside the city of Jakarta, in a suburban village, in the area of Jambe Bay, Karawang area, which despite having entered West Java, but still crowded with metropolitan atmosphere. Karawang which was once famous as a rice barn, has now turned into an industrial city overgrown with factories with various production products. Yes, Podin lives in the suburbs of the industry, which is certainly still crowded with factory employees. Podin chose to buy a house in a village that had begun to crowded.

    As usual, Podin and Rina who had consulted with Bu Hendro, did want to develop a business selling food stalls. Of course, Podin was tempted to see the selling of Bu Hendro's food stalls. Moreover, his wife, Rina, is also experienced in the field of food stalls, because she has been his assistant in Bu Hendro for quite a long time. Yes, just like Mrs Hendro, she wants to serve the factory workers, for the food.

    The house that Podin bought was not so big. But Podin deliberately chose a house that has a large enough yard. In the hope that the yard will then be established canopies as a roof, for a place to eat. And Podin immediately installed the canopy, so that the yard was all covered by the lanopi roof. And the courtyard became a shady place, and if the rain was not rained. Then at the bottom of the canopy it is also plastered so that it looks flat and smooth. Then put on a table and chair. Yes, of course, tables and chairs to eat the buyers in the stall.

    Meanwhile, Rina began to busy arranging kitchen utensils, cookware. Starting from plates, cups, spoons, forks, including pots and frying pans, all of which are prepared to meet their cooking needs. Including preparing gas stoves. There are two gas stoves. Rina wanted to prepare her equipment, just like hers Bu Hendro. Yes, of course it was from the experience of Rina obtained from her food stall Bu Hendro.

    Podin also has asked the handyman to make a shelf cabinet where to put various kinds of pots where vegetables and side dishes. Which of course there later the buyers can choose the type of vegetables and side dishes.

    In the kitchen there is a fridge and freezer box. Of course later to store vegetables and meat and other cooking ingredients. In addition, Lina will also prepare her own ice cubes. Let's not lack. ice cube stock. Because usually the workers were drinking iced tea or iced syrup. He said to be fresh.

    Podin and Rina prepared the food stall to the maximum. At least later there, Rina can sell with her husband as if rivaling Bu Hendro in Jakarta. Yes, Rina did not want to lose, especially when supported by her husband who wanted to help everything. In her little heart, Rina did want to have her own food stall, not just depend on Bu Hendro. But indeed, to open a food stall business, of course it takes a fairly large capital. Luckily, Podin supported it.

    Likewise, Podin, he tried to find sustenance well, looking for sustenance by working hard, looking for sustenance full of effort, looking for sustenance that gives off sweat. Yes, Podin already thought it impossible to keep coming to the Island of Idols. It is impossible for Podin to constantly sacrifice the heads of innocent children. Even Podin had the intention in his heart, wanting to change his life, from a life that only depended on the possessions and wealth of the palace of Pulau Pahala, and now he wanted to try to organize his life with Rina, he said, his wife who was married for a few months, and invited to entrepreneurship by selling food, opening a food stall in the suburbs of Karawang.

    "How, Rin ..., is this enough? Is it worth it for a comfortable place to eat? Is this about the buyers, our customers will be happy to be in our place?" so asked Podin who while showing the place that will later be used to eat the buyers. Yes, the vast canopy in his yard was all fitted with tables and chairs. Although only simple, but already qualified as a place to eat for factory employees.

    "Wah .., Mas ..., this is good, Mas .... Bu Hendro's place lost when compared to this, Mas .... The number of tables is the same as the chair just a lot of ours .... The place is also large. Wah .., this result will certainly be more from the place of Bu Hendro, Mas ..." so said Rina who of course she was happy to see the food stall plan that had been prepared by her husband. A smile immediately spread on his lips.

    "For the kitchen, how? Are the kitchen equipment and equipment ready? What is less? We have not started to open, so that later it will not be confused. If we have opened it turns out there is still less, there is still something to look for, we must prepare from now, Rina." so said Podin who asked his wife about the preparation of the equipment needed in the kitchen.

    "Yes, Mas .... This is for the plate, the fork spoon we provide fifty, including the glass, we also prepare four lecturers" said Rina who answered her husband's question.

    "Well, Rin ..., isn't that much less? How's that?" said Podin who heard that the tableware only had fifty pieces. It is feared that it will be less. Because if the fit is crowded, such as hours of rest or hours of work, usually the buyer comes to change. And of course it will be troublesome if the plate is lacking.

    "Lhah ..., what needs to be added, Mas?" ask her husband.

    "Yes, if it should be added, yes we add. We buy again no problem, Rin .... So that later our buyers do not wait, do not queue. So that once they come, we continue to sodorin the ready food. So they don't wait, they don't have to wait." so said Podin who certainly also gave an opinion to Rina.

    "Well ..., how's the kitchen problem? Stove, pot and so on how? Is that enough?" ask Podin again, related to the kitchen equipment inventory.

    "If the pot, I think it's enough, Mas .... Keep vegetable places such as basins, also enough. Just maybe what we need to add is the gas cylinder, Mas .... Because this stove we have two, if the gas tube is only one will be used for a while to be used directly exhausted. Well if we need to buy two more, so we have spare, have backup, Mas .... So if the gas one runs out, immediately bought. The other one can still be used. I see, Mas ..." it answered Rina, who finally that she would add a gas cylinder.

    "Yes .., okay .... We will add. What is important is that our efforts are complete. Our efforts are right. Even if later while walking, while later we add here and there, usually so, Rin ..." said Podin who seemed like he was pretentious.

    "Yes, Mas ..." said Rina who was certainly very happy. Because he will open his own business, no longer just be his assistant Bu Hendro. Although delicious, but the money is only from the payment that is not as big as it is. But if your own business, especially her husband wants to help, it will be fortunately quite large.

    "Yes, already .... I want to rest first .... My body is tired ..." said Podin who went straight into his room.

    Rina also immediately returned to organize her warehouse equipment. Of course with pleasure, and while humming because so the flowers. Yes, it turns out unexpectedly, her husband is kind. And also did not think before, if it turns out that her husband also has a considerable savings, so that he can buy a house and also prepare a business to open a stall. Even when Rina tried to offer her savings for additional business, but was rejected by her husband. He said Rina's money to be stored in savings, just in case if needed suddenly. Of course it adds to the happier Rina.

    But suddenly, when Rina arranged her things, and looked at the front yard, there was a strange thing that had been noticed by her. As Rina arranged her things including the utensils in the kitchen, she saw in front of her house a little boy. A little girl in shabby clothes who looked bleak. Yes, Lina must have thought that child was a beggar. At least the boy was told by his mother to beg. The child stood at the entrance gate, right facing the door of the house that was indeed open at that time. Incidentally it was noon, it was time for people to eat. That kid needs to eat.

    Lina looked at the little boy. Surely the boy was starving and needed to be given a bite of rice. Automatic Rina, the good woman did not have the heart to see the small child who was sandwiched in front of her house. So Rina also took a little food with side dishes that were wrapped neatly, then put in a plastic bag. Then he stepped in front of his house, and gave the parcel to the girl who stood there.

    "Yes for goodness sake .... You look clear, hungry, yeah .... Here, Nduk ..., eat for you .... Please eat, let's not starve." so said Rina, when giving rice wrap to a small child in front of her yard.

    The boy was silent and did not answer. But his hand reached for the package given by Rina. After the package was received, Rina then returned to her kitchen place regardless of the child. But after looking forward, the boy was gone, not seen again.

    Days pass. Podin and Rina are certainly still not finished to prepare the food stall. They still have various equipment. Even arranging a table chair that will later be used as a place to eat. The second day, when Rina was still arranging vegetables to prepare for the morning cooking, Rina wanted to start trying to cook using the stall equipment, back when looking out, towards the front of her house, to begin with, Rina watched the little girl in the shabby clothes that yesterday she gave the rice wrap, already in front of her house again. Coincidentally, when he went to the market, Rina bought a pack of rice. Plan to make breakfast. But because of his compassion for the child, again Rina gave the rice wrap to the child.

    Yes, the boy accepted it. Silence without words. Rina did not want to ask. His intention was only to feed the starving-looking child.

    However, just as Lina turned her head, the child was already lost. Surely Rina was confused. Where did the boy go? Rina looked at all directions. But I also did not find the boy.

    "Ach ..., where was the child ...? Just been fed, just disappeared .... What's his stay near here, yeah ...?" grumbled Rina who was astonished by the disappearance of the child beggar.

    "What's up, Rin ...?!" podin asked who was out of the house, seeing his wife who was confused.

    "Ndak papa, Mas .... Here, you know .... There was a little boy begging, I just gave him rice wrap, he disappeared immediately .... Go somewhere ..." replied Rina, who then stepped inside towards the kitchen, to continue cooking.

    "Not to be too thoughtful .... If we continue to do well, tomorrow the boy will come again. Usually people like that are. Already, just go in ..." said Podin who immediately sent his wife to the kitchen, and did not need to take care of the beggar.

    "Yes, Mas .... Our charity field ..." said Rina.
