My Girl, My Inspiration
A Pretty Heavy Start
The next morning Fahmi, Kinan and Jesselyn start their venture. As they had planned, Kinan sold meatballs, Fahmi sold fried rice while Jesselyn tried to sell off Kinan's unsold merchandise through her social media.
"Bismilbornrahmanirrahim! May our trading today be sweet!" Fahmi said a prayer.
"Milk..." Kinan. A few moments later, someone approached Fahmi and Kinan.
"Let's go, mas, please, what do you want to buy?" Kinan.
"This feeling is distro deh, why now it even turns into a food trade" someone looks surprised.
"Yes, mas, a week ago, this distro was closed and switched to selling food, but, if for example mas want to buy clothes or what can still be, we only sell it via online, but if you want to buy clothes, you can check my Twitter account directly, @JKstore. I just order, I'll pay COD" Jesselyn explained.
"Oh... That's it already, I'll order through it" he said.
"Because I've sampe here, so, I order well, one spicy fried rice wrapped, the same meat is also one wrapped" he continued.
"Well, mas, will be made soon, please sit down first and wait for the order to be prepared" Kinan invited to sit.
A few minutes later, the order was ready.
"This is the order, everything is 20 RB" Kinan handed over the bag to someone.
"Here's the money, thank you" someone handed over the money and received the canteen, then left.
"Alhamdulillah! First buyer, hopefully there are more buyers next" Kinan looks happy.
Not long after anyone else came.
"Wih... I think it's new, yesterday I saw nothing" a girl standing in front of Fahmi's wagon.
"Yes, mbak, we just sell today, if you want, you can try to buy, maybe you like, there is fried rice, there is meatballs too" Fahmi offers.
"I really like meatballs well, only I know it's good or not, because when viewed from the wagon, I don't lust see it, better my subscription, cleaner place, it's a bit dirty that way" the girl said critically.
"Everyone else, who sits there, it's a call girl well, I really want to hire him, then your trading becomes unlucky" he continued. Kinan could not bear to hear the girl's words. I want him to be angry with her. Jesselyn also came forward, upset to hear the girl's words However, Fahmi beckoned Kinan and Jesselyn not to do so.
"So, do you want to try or what? If I make it up" Fahmi is still trying to be friendly to the girl.
"No, I'm looking for somewhere else, which is more assured" the girl passed away.
"It's so nice of a girl, I want to snap her hair" Jesselyn looked annoyed.
"Know, where the style is exorbitant again" Kinan was also upset.
"Udah, you have to be patient, the buyer's name, there are various characters. There are those who come and immediately buy without much ado, some just want to know the price, some are like earlier, who criticize about the conditions of our place of sale, and others, comparing with other stalls and so on, having to be patient with it, okay" Fahmi tried to calm his two best friends.
"Yes, Mi, I don't like it the most if someone insulted others like that, use say the unlucky carrier again, that girl is not taught what manners are with her parents" Kinan chimed in.
"Udah, well enough, remember, we are tested, how mentally strong we are against people like that" Fahmi said.
"Jes, if you intend to change your life for the better, yes, you just live it and do not listen to the words of others, who know your life, you know it, just you yourself are not someone else, okay, do not be easily provoked just because of the talk like that" Fahmi advised Jesselyn.
"I'm sure that one day all this will bear sweet fruit in the future, the important thing is that we live this sincerely and patiently face all the tests that are in front of us and importantly, again, must remain spirit" continued Fahmi.
"I'm sorry, Mi, I'm carried away by emotions, thanks for being quipped" Kinan stroked his chest, so that his emotions subsided.
"Hey, Kinan! How does it feel, like it's good?" Someone came over.
"You! Why are you here? I don't want to see your face anymore!" Kinan was shocked and looked angry.
"Eit... Relax dong, Nan, I came here just want to see your store, it has dropped well, even worse, you even sell a cart like this, pity you, even worse, just try to accept my offer at that time, you will definitely not suffer from gini" he said.
"Who says I'm suffering, I'm happy to go through this and as long as you know, my decision not to accept your offer is the right one, because I don't want to owe you anything, because I know, you deliberately used the circumstances in order to reach that desire in your heart" Kinan looked at him intently.
"We'll see how long you can survive like this with this poor guy" the man laughed cynically and passed away in front of Kinan.
"Nan, who was that?" Ask Jesselyn.
"Mirza, my ex from High School, we both dated him not long ago, he got caught, made me a bet with his friends, when I knew it, I immediately broke him up, he said, from then on he was upset and always looking for ways to fall down so much that I begged for help, but, I was not so stupid, I always have a myriad of ways to deal with every problem I face, so I don't have to depend on him" Kinan explained.
Until the afternoon, their trading had only sold a little and it seemed like the three were getting tired of waiting.
"Capek is also well, selling like this, waiting for buyers no one to come again" complained Jesselyn.
"The name is also selling, Jes, must be tired, let alone this is our first day of selling, it will feel very heavy if we are not strong to live it, but, the next days will definitely feel lighter when we relax" Kinan said.
"Honestly, Nan, this is my first experience selling like a gini, usually I am the buyer, come stay the message, continue to sit, wait for the order to come, eat, eat, pay and leave the store. Now I feel exactly how it feels to be a kayak gini seller, heavy taste, I salute some people who trade from morning until night, who remain enthusiastic and seem not to recognize the word tired" Jesselin was so amazed.
"If you fight for the family at home anyway, the feeling of fatigue will not be felt, then will feel tired if they have reached their homes each with a satisfactory result, bringing satisfactory results, especially if their trading is sold out, fatigue is at least paid for with the results they achieved, that's the key, Jes" Fahmi chimed.
"Vih.... Fahmi has learned a lot of this must be the same as your late father, who never gave up, worked hard to support the family" Kinan said.
"Yes, right, the father was my source of inspiration, so I felt called to help the father meet the needs of the family. Now I'm the one who replaced the father as the backbone of the family, for my daily needs and also the mother" Fahmi replied.
"Mi, if you intend to support your mother, God willing, there is a way and you can get a fortune from it, without you knowing. Whether it's money, food or whatever it is" Kinan said with confidence.
"Mayen....!" Fahmi.
