Grumpy Boyfriend
Past Times

Like the usual day after her husband and first child left for the office and her daughter left for school. Ningrum's mother left for the boutique with her own car.

Arriving at the boutique, he welcomed some of his employees who had come first from him, Sofi was a confidant of Ningrum's mother, whatever he would always exchange opinions with Sofi, he said, because Sofi was the one who helped him pioneer his boutique business from zero to this size.

“Buk, I want to remind you that today Ibu Sukma will come to see mother, said Sofi to her superiors who she already considers like her own brother.

Sukma's mother who in Sofi's intention was Victor's mother, Sukma's mother and Ningrum's mother turned out to have been friends since they were Junior High, and actually Mr. Heru and Mr. Surya have known with Ibu Sukma and Ibu Ningrum since they went to college, they have also made a friendship since then, there is one more friend of theirs named Diky, he had already died from an accident by the time they had completed their script and was due to graduate.

And there was a misunderstanding between them, so that Mr. Surya and Mr. Heru did not say hello and decided not to meet until now, even though the time of the wedding is considered important to invite the friends, even though the time of the wedding is considered important to invite, but for them it does not apply, because they do not invite each other.

Ibu Sukma was already in front of his best friend's boutique which was immediately greeted by Sofi, then Sofi delivered Sukma to her boss' room located on the second floor, arriving in front of Mother Ningrum's room, sofi first knocks on the door before opening it and Sofi invites her boss's best friend to enter, then leaves them both.

Seeing the arrival of his best friend, Ningrum immediately ran and hugged his best friend with tears, and vice versa.

Because for years they have not met, nothing has changed from their attitude, so they let go of longing by telling their lives.

After being satisfied to let go of longing, Sukma opened his talk, the purpose of which he came here in addition to meeting the friend who was missed, he said, he will order clothes from the Ningrum boutique for his wedding anniversary which will be held approximately a month away.

‘‘Finally you have a boutique also yes Ning, even already quite famous also yes, '' said Sukma happily.

“Yes, Alhamdulillah Sukma, I am grateful for what I have achieved at this time, oh yes later if we look at our husband how, how, surely Mas Surya and Mas Heru are very angry if we see we get along like this,’’ they also laugh to imagine their husbands.

Not feeling it had been two hours more they told the love story, Sukma also begged to resign to go home, fearing that her husband would look for because it had been too long outside.

“Already, I want to go home first, Ning, if the clothes are done tell ya, and sometime we hang out with yuk! but do not tell our husband, if you are told they will not allow it,’’ said Sukma confirmed by Ningsih.

Before Sukma stepped out of the room, they first hugged, and after that Ningrum drove his best friend to the front of the boutique, he went back to his boutique after the car Sukma was riding, no longer visible in his eyes.

Ningsih returned to his room, he sat in a work chair while looking at photos of his best friend who he had stored in his desk drawer. He could not feel tears looking at the photo, seeing one of the photos of his friend who had long left him, he said,

“Diky...! for some reason, today I miss very much you, I miss we gather together again like before, unlike today, all that happens is misunderstanding and division, but I realize, I know, you can no longer get together with us, and I always pray for you to always be calm in nature, and I hope you are not disappointed because of the current split, I was sure that one day we would gather together again, then we together would make a pilgrimage to your tomb, said Ningrum softly with a smile and wipe away the tears that soaked his cheeks.

When lunchtime arrived, Sofi entered Mother Ningrum's room because she got a phone call from her boss to go to her room, Good afternoon buk, can I help you?'' sofi asked her boss.

“Sofi...! lunch hour has arrived, let's now gather all the friends, and accompany me to eat out yuk! after that we go back to work, said Ningrum's mother with a smile.

Ningrum ma'am employees there were 5 people including Sofi, they boarded the car bu Ningrum towards the nearest mall, once there, they immediately walked to the food court, and Ms. Ningrum allows all her employees to choose the desired food menu.

That's how Ms. Ningrum he is very concerned about the welfare of his employees, so that employees who work in his shop always feel at home working there, because Mother Ningrum always considers them as family, because she always considers them as family, not as an employee who is always required to always work and achieve turnover really.

Very different from Ms. Ningrum, as a boutique owner she had to show her hard work, so that all her employees are also encouraged to work harder and can together achieve the desired turnover.

Ms. Ningrum always instills the nature of cooperation in every employee, so in work, they are always compact in any case.

After finishing lunch, they returned to the boutique to continue the work that had been delayed, the employees did not forget to say thank you to Ms. Ningrum and after that they all returned to their respective jobs.

Mother Ningrum entered her room and headed straight for her desk. He will make a pattern of clothes that his best friend has chosen earlier and some patterns of clothing customers who have not been resolved.

She had already started to scratch the pencil on the paper, and was determined to finish it before half 3 o'clock, because at 3 o'clock she had to get home before her son or husband came home.

Such was the agreement made by her husband before he started his boutique business first, and until now he always obeyed the rules made by his beloved husband.

While the shop will close at exactly 5 pm which will certainly be guided by Sofi as a confidant of Ningrum's mother.

And Sofi was the first and last person to come home from the boutique, because in addition to Ningrum's mother, Sofi also held the key to the boutique.
