LOVELY LAMINATINGRUM
(ROCHMAN'S HISTORY).6. Started business
It has been a week since the departure of children who KKN.
For a week I have not seen the face of Ilham so dazzling.
For a week I was still with a routine job cleaning the houses and yards of residents here as well as start sorting out clothes that are still worth selling and not worth it.
I started to raise money from cleaning the yard, sometimes as a lift when one of the residents here did a corn pipilan business.
Anyway all the work I do is so I can make money to continue the business of selling used clothes.
My money was partly saved to buy a big umbrella and a tarp. Large umbrellas and tarpaulins I will use for stalls selling used clothes that are planned to be around the market Gebang.
Fortunately the people here accepted me, and for four weeks here, I did nothing negative to the people of this village.
I haven't been out of the village in four weeks, but tonight I have plans to go to Gebang… well just to see the situation there and look for a big umbrella and a cheap tarp.
Today afternoon I was at the mbok stall Nah. almost every day I was here to eat.
I only need to pay the price of food 50% of the normal price, because I also help mbok Nah at her house.
Actually this stall is quite rame as well even though it is located in a village, the buyers of this stall are yes only from people around this village.
“Toook.. Totoook” called mbok Nah while I was sweeping the yard of her house which was quite wide.
“Iya mbok... what's up..”.
“If you have finished eating, help mbok Well in the banana garden behind the house ya”
“There are some ripe bananas away”
“Iya mbok..”
Like this afternoon, after eating I headed to the backyard of the house mbok Nah, it turns out there are three banana trees whose fruit is ready to be taken.
In the afternoon after finishing with the banana business, I went home with some banana combs that were partly yellowed, the type of banana in the mbok yard.
Some of these bananas should be sold in the market, because it's obviously too much if I only eat them..
According to my plan tonight I want to go to Gebang, because Gebang market usually rame at night, I can sell this banana there as well as see the state of the market.
*****
Afternoon by night.. I borrowed the next-door neighbor's bike to the market, I reasoned to sell a banana gift from mbok Nah.
Actually there is a shorter road to go to Gebang, which is through the middle of the forest that will penetrate to the white villa.
Because the road now twists and is certainly farther than the one passing through the middle of the forest.
But I don't want to remember that path and the past I've left behind, I can still live it's been so lucky.
Unlike Juriah and Widodo who have been lost somewhere.
The bike that he said was a mountain bike was paddled a bit fast, so I arrived at the market not too late.
The state of the road I went through was indeed quiet, but there were still motorcycles passing by, there were even residents here who walked in the dark of the night towards Gebang.
Maybe almost a quarter of an hour with a decent speed I arrived at Gebang market.
I approached the merchant who sold vegetable anecdotes to offer three banana combs that had some yellowed.
After I finished selling three banana combs, I now headed to a shop I had seen selling tarps and plastic.
Finally with the money from cleaning the house and the banana sales money that is not how much I go home with one make a tarp twice the size of one meter.
I did not buy a big umbrella, because the price was quite even and my money was not enough to buy an umbrella.
This tarp will be used later to trade used clothes that have been sorted before.
“Today is one more step towards success that appears in front of the eyes of” I shouted in the middle of the journey towards home
When I'm going through the lake I used to go through with Sutopo's son and student.. Suddenly I smelled flowers.
Aduuuh no longer.. I'm fed up with the supernatural and all its problems.I don't want to deal anymore with the supernatural!
“Please don't bother me.. I just want to live a normal life!!!!” I shouted as I passed through the lake area.
“I know you guys are there.. But please..I don't want to deal with all of you anymore!”
“I'm sick of you demons!…Don't bother me!.. My life is normal!”
I know that there is a possibility that there is still an occult who knows me even though I am now in a different era.
But I still don't want to deal with them!
Get on this bike faster, so I can get home.
“Huuuhh.. Finally arrived at home”
I have to return this bike to the owner, this bike is actually never used by the owner.
Just lying next to the house unkempt.. But after I helped to repair and clean up, I was finally allowed to borrow this bike at any time.
I hope someday I can buy this bike from the owner..
“Assalamualaikum by Peno…. I want to return my pak” bike in front of his house
“Waalaikumsalam mas Totok..from Gebang earlier what was mas?”
“I was selling bananas from mbok Well, all I bought this tarpaulin pak” I showed a tarp that folded neatly
“Trapped this tomorrow night will I use to sell used clothes in Gebang pak”
“Wah great also you mas Totok, you people are tenacious too…. Eh if tomorrow want to sell to Gebang, just use my bike for transportation mas” said Pak Peno
“Thank you very much Mr. Peno.. someday if I have money..
“Already..use the bike first if it is necessary. The important thing is that the business of Totok mas can run smoothly”
“One more time thank you Mr. Peno.. if Pak Peno needs my help, I will help Mr. Peno with pleasure pak”.
“Already mas Totok.. I am happy to see a Totok mas like this, tenacious, hardworking, and unyielding”.
Tonight I spent once again sorting clothes that were still worth using and clothes that were not worth using.
As long as I am here, the good owner of the house still allows me to install one lamp.. Only one light was in the middle room.
He's free of electricity payments in this house, and in return, I've always offered any help to the owner of this house.
“For tomorrow is enough ten pieces of clothing only.. Five pieces of men's clothing.The rest are five more women's clothing”.
The next morning I went through the activities as usual.I went around the village to offer services for those in need.
Fortunately today there is additional income from any service that I offer for free, and fortunately people here even give me money with a different nominal for my services.
It was late afternoon.I was ready to sell clothes around the cliff.
This is my first day to trade, to do business, to trade.
Like yesterday, I borrowed a bicycle to a neighbor next door, for transportation to Gebang.
*****
I've already opened the stall.. I have a title tarpaulin.. Used clothes I've arranged neatly..
But no buyers have come to my yard yet!
I've been here a long time, but still no one has stopped by.
Until when I was desperate to go home because of the increasingly quiet market situation, suddenly there were women coming to my used clothes stall.
“Excuse me mas.. his men's clothes can I see?” ask the woman who then squatted in front of my lap
“Oh monnggo.. I just brought five pieces of it”
“Ndak papa mas.. it should be the sales mas use dong lights, so that buyers are clearly visible. Or mas sale under street lighting lamp course”
“Hmmm I take this hem only mas. if until the house turns out the clothes that mas selling is good. Tomorrow I am here again to see another model
“Alhamdulillah can do well bu heheheh”
“Good ma'am.. Tomorrow I'll sell under lighting lamp course”
Thank goodness today can sell one seed, but tomorrow I will move under the lighting lights so that the sale of this used clothing sells a lot.
Tomorrow I will multiply the clothes that I will bring, so that buyers can choose which one is suitable for them.
