After the change of president, from Pak Harto who resigned because of the demands of the people who urged reform, which was then continued by Pak Habibi who led the government, the value of the rupiah began to strengthen. the state finances are starting to improve. Foreign exchange continues to grow from various sectors. Especially MSME efforts. Like craft stuff. Including carving from Jeparan and brass handicrafts from Jamil.
Brass craft business place managed by Jamil is increasingly advanced. Orders are getting more and more. The type and model also varies. Not only making household appliances, but now more making crafts for wall hangings, home decorations and clothing accessories. Even the demand from abroad is mostly in the form of home decorations, such as garden lights, CDs, book places, house numbers, nameplates, and various knick-knacks to beautify the house.
The buying and selling with the stranger kept going. It must be with a huge amount and price. That's the benefit of Jamil's efforts. It does not handle export activities. But foreign affairs are all managed by the buyer. Of course Jamil and his place of business is very comfortable. All export business is borne by the foreign buyers themselves.
If for local buyers, the most in demand is fashion accessories, such as brooches. But many also personally order the name brooch or the initials of his name. In the place of brass craft Jamil serves all that with pleasure. Hence, the store guarded by Mbak Ika is selling well. Lots of orders from everywhere. Even the model and shape, the buyer can order as desired.
With this state of business, then of course Jamil brass craft company is getting ahead. The employees are still eight people, but with the cooperation system helping each other, it turns out the results are more effective. Jamil only added Mr. Guru Jumari as a "sometimes" employee, who was sometimes invited where there were foreign guests who shopped to his shop. At the suggestion of Mr. Jumari, the brass craft business place was named "Bima Sakti". It is said that Pak Jumari chose the name Milky Way as the name of a famous galaxy that stretches in the universe. The hope is that Jamil's brass craft business can be famous until purchased by people from all corners of the world. And the provision of this name is related to the legality of the business and to facilitate opening a company account in the bank. And of course the most important thing is to make it easier for people to find their stores.
Today, brass craft items produced by the Jamil company, are labeled or trademarked "Bima Sakti". His employees bought a uniform shirt on his back with a curvy inscription "Bima Milky Way Brass Craft". Even on the terrace of the store has also made the signboard plate "Bima Sakti" which is large enough to be read from the highway. The shop is getting wider and more organized.
Naturally, the Milky Way is now a fairly well-known brass craft company in the Juwana area. And of course his efforts are very profitable. At least, Jamil can pay his employees without any word too late. Even employees have been given welfare, by giving transportation money and lunch money. His employees must be happy with his welfare. But the most fun to be an employee in the company Milky Way is the togetherness of the employees. Fraternity and family, and intimacy is what makes you feel at home at work.
Even Jamil also introduced his children and wife to the employees. Likewise, employees who have families. They are asked by Jamil, at any time to take a child and wife or husband to work. At least the employees can get to know their friends' families. The hope is, if you meet in the street, in the market or elsewhere, the familiarity is still intertwined.
The basic Jamil people from the village who were educated by his parents to always help with others, who teach mutual affection, which is strengthened with mutual respect and tolerance, is always helpful, and a strong sense of family. So no wonder, when Jamil has succeeded in carrying out his mandate to continue the brass craft business, he wants all employees to become a family that helps each other, mutual respect, and mutual tolerance. That is the family that is now the cornerstone of the Milky Way brass craft company, led by Jamil.
As more orders, of course Jamil must as soon as possible to complete the work. It is all done for the sake of customer service to be satisfied and happy. This resulted in Jamil and some employees having to overtime. As a result, he often came home late.
"Keep home until the afternoon, even often even the hell, Kang?" ask Juminem who would want to know her husband.
"Yes, Friday .... Many orders .... Must be overtime to finish it as soon as possible." replied Jamil who had seen the achievement.
"Same as anyone ...?" ask Juminem again, of course want to know who is invited overtime.
"Yes, a lot .... There is Soleh, Akbar .... Anyway that is related to what work should be completed." replied Jamil.
"Mbak Ika come overtime, no ...?" juminem asked without seeing her husband.
"Mak-e is jealous, huh ...? Hehehe ..." suddenly Melian nongol, and guessed her mother's heart.
"Iih ..., why jealousy ...?!" sahut.
"Lha, kok .. asked by Mbak Ika ..." said Melian.
"Pity .... Daughter kok told overtime until night ..." replied his mother quibbled.
"Pity ..., what ..., pity .... Hehe ..." said Melian as she mocked.
"Iih .., you are, you are .... Bad boy .... He likes to tease Mak-e ..." said Juminem as he sewot.
Yes, when viewed from the expression on his face, Juminem must have a sense of jealousy. Naturally, because everyday her husband gathers with Mbak Ika, who in addition to maintaining merchandise is also trusted by her husband to manage finances. Moreover, Ika was young, beautiful and not married. It's only natural that Juminem was worried about her husband.
"What is jealous of is what ...?" jamil said suddenly nimbrup debate son and mother.
"Iih ..., my goodness, Kang .... I'm not jealous, yes ..." Juminem said with great conviction. But it was actually just to cover up his feelings.
"Whoa .... Most Mak-e jealous .... Yesterday was also his talk to Melian about Mbak Ika .... Yes, right ...?!" Melian hoarded again teasing her mother.
"Because .... Melian ...!!" said Juminem who was a bit irritated with his son, because the teasing continues.
"Hehehe ...." Melian ran to her mother laughing.
"Yes, Sir .... At most Mak-e is afraid of losing Pak-e .... Hehehe ...." Melian confirmed her father's words, certainly still laughing mocking her mother.
"Because .... What is ....?!" Juminem increasingly upset seduced, Jamil was targeted beaten with a family room chair cushion.
"Additional .... Aduuh .... Ooh ...." Jamil pretended to be in pain.
"Certainly, Mak ...! Keep hitting, Mak ...! Hahaha ..." now Melian cheered on her mother who beat her father.
"Nrpus .... Forgive ...." Jamil asks his wife for forgiveness.
And the two women mother and son laughed with satisfaction to see Jamil who asked for forgiveness to his wife. Until finally, Juminem stopped himself because of the achievement of beating her husband with the pillow.
"God, Jum .... It hurts all this ..." said Jamil, again begging for mercy.
"Sukurin ..." - Juminem.
"Get me a drink, Jum .... I'm thirsty ..." ask Jamil to his wife.
"Take it yourself .... Don't tell me .... I am not.." - Juminem Judes.
"Here, sir, drink it .." said Melian, who had brought a glass of cold water to her father.
"Thank you, dear ...." Jamil received the glass filled with cold water, then sipped it until it ran out.
"Jum .., I want to eat .... This layer ..." said Jamil to his wife, stroking her stomach.
"No rice ...! I am not cooking ...! Ask for food with Ma'am Ika ...!" answer Juminem sengol. The fire was apparently not extinguished.
"Lho .., you .... How come?" Jamil now really feels that his wife is jealous of Ika.
"Yes, yes .., lah .... A day at the factory with Ma'am Ika .... Lunch is the same as Mama Ika .... Until the night does not return home, in the factory continues the same Ma'am Ika .... Didn't you eat together, Mother Ika?! How now would you like to ask for food to me ...?! It's just delicious ...." Juminem has now completely shed his frustration and jealousy.
"Oh my goodness, Jum .... Then you're really jealous, to?" Jamil asked his wife's jealousy.
"Yes yes, it is .... Cook her husband with another woman every day why his wife is silent ...?! If I let this go, I'm not normal ...!" again Juminem showed annoyance at her husband.
"Jm ..., Jm .... Her husband is jealous .... Strange wife .... Who the hell taught you to be jealous?" Jamil was confused to explain to his wife.
"You don't have to ask questions ...! The woman's heart is sensitive, Kang ...!" Juminem.
"Yes already .... If it is not cooking, there is no food, I want to take a bath .., then sleep .." said Jamil slowly and stood up to take a bath.
"Can't sleep in my same room ...!" Juminem instantly prevented her husband from sleeping in the room.
"If you can't sleep with Mak-e ..., sleep with Melian alone, sir .." Melian told her father.
"Can't ...! Just sleep in the factory ...!!" sergeant Juminem.
"Yes, already .... I want to take a shower first, then I will go to the factory, sleep there .." replied Jamil in a subtle tone.
Of course, Jamil does not want to make a fuss. But he could not defeat his wife who was angry with jealousy. Let it pass naturally. Don't be scolded, don't be advised, don't fight. Let it. Jealousy is common. Importantly, do not add to the atmosphere into a storm. People say, jealousy is a flower in the household. As a sweetener, flavoring and savory enhancer in the family.
