My Son Is My Strength

My Son Is My Strength
Building a Business


After a dispute which one is beautiful or which one is cute. Arini also called her mother, who now back to doing her activities earlier, namely knitting scarves.


"Mother." Call Arini to look at her mother who is still focused on her activities.


"Yes. What's up, son." Shahra's mother replied, looking at Arini.


"Arin wants to say-" said Arini hanging, because confused how he conveyed to the mother. That he was not accepted to work at the company he submitted his application yesterday. She was afraid her mother was disappointed.


Syahra's mother stopped her activities again, then focused on the child who was staring at her. "What did you say? Hmm...." Syahra's mother said in a soft voice that set her on the child.


Hearing her mother's voice, Arini continued her words. "Arin wants to say, that Arin is not accepted to work at the company that Arin submitted a proposal yesterday." Arini told her mother, then looked down.


Arumi, who had been focusing on her book, and only heard her mother and sister talking, now spoke.


"No need to be sad, because not accepted work at the company. There are still many companies that you can apply for again, and who knows if one of them accepts you for work." Arumi said she had chimed in on the conversation between her mother and sister. "But in my opinion, you don't have to work first in companies. Because pity the baby's dedek if brought work." Arumi looked at the older brother.


"Yes. What you said is true, Rin. Besides, it is not good for young pregnant women who often ride in a vehicle, if you are accepted for work later. I'm afraid of shock due to uneven roads when you ride a vehicle, which is fatal to the mother's grandchildren." Syahra's mother's words allowed her to say Arumi. "Especially now you are still experiencing morning sickness, which makes your body so unpleasant and a headache, son." Further again.


"Well, listen, what mom said. NO FINE!! So you don't have to look for work in companies." Said Arumi emphasized the word 'not good' to the brother.


"But--" said Arini cut off by her sister's voice.


"But what about our daily needs? Or what about the sister's degree?" ask Arumi, who already knows the continuation of the words of the brother.


Arini nodded slowly, in response to the question of the younger brother.


"If the problem of our daily needs, it can still be met by the results of cake sales. If you are also thinking about the contract costs, it is still a long time. We can pay from the proceeds of the sale of cakes as well, the way you add the income of our cake sales. Well, the way to increase the income of cake sales, we offer our cakes again in the stalls far from Juwita's aunt stalls. And the most popular way, sister sales online only. Then the issue of diploma, sister also do not need to worry. sis diploma will not be in vain if you do not use it now. Brother can use his diploma later, if the baby's grandpa was born." Arumi said at length, answering all the questions that were in the mind of the brother.


"Everything is not easy, but nothing is impossible, right? Like my mother said." He looked at his brother again, then turned to his mother.


Arini and Shahra's mother widened her eyes, hearing Arumi's explanation, which they thought was just an adult thinking about all such things.


"You, you, have thought of all these things." Arini said he did not believe. He did not expect, his sister turned out to be an adult from his age.


Yep. Although Arumi is now 15 years old, but he has been able to study such things, his life is far from comfortable and abandoned by his father since childhood, which makes him mature from his age.


"Hum...." Typal Arumi said his brother, nodding.


"So how? Does your brother agree? If you agree, I can also drop our cake in the school cafeteria and offer it to my friends." Ask Arumi to make sure.


Arini and Shahra's mother turned to each other and nodded along with teary eyes, overwhelmed by what Arumi said. Really they do not expect, the thought of Arumi who has grown from this age.

Today is the beginning for Arini, to build his cake business, early.


"Sister. How much is a one-cake cake? Did you think about it?" asked Arumi, while keeping the cake they had cooked in a jar.


"Maybe one jar twenty thousand." Arini replied without looking at her sister, because she was also focusing on arranging cakes in jars.


"Twenty thousand? Isn't that too cheap, brother?" asked Arumi again, confirming the price called by her brother.


"Yes. According to my brother the price is not too cheap, but if he says cheap, yes. Brother deliberately gave such a price, so that our cake can be accepted by prospective buyers." Arini answered looking at her sister.


"Are we not going to lose?" asked Arumi, warning her brother.


"Of course not, Dek. Brother has calculated all the materials we use, equipment and equipment used, and costs and other costs. As a result, we profit five thousand from each jar. The price you set is still in our favor, and also light for buyers." Arini explained to her sister.


"But, fortunately, a little, making a cake also requires energy." Sarkas Arumi, still do not accept the price set by Arini.


"Sirties know. But, as a beginner, we should wait for our cake business to run smoothly and many customers first, then the selling price we can increase gradually. And fortunately it will also rise slowly." Arini tried to explain to her sister. "This is also a strategy that every businessman uses to build their business from scratch, like us." Arini explained.


Arumi, nodding her head, heard the explanation from her brother. Now, he understood the price set by his brother. And now, he did not ask much more and refocused on his work that he had been working on.


A few minutes later, Syahra's mother came into the kitchen and greeted her two children.


"Are you guys done?" ask Syahra's mother, seeing her children taking pictures of cakes that have been put in jars.


"Not yet, Mom." Arumi answered her question from her mother. While Arini, still focus on taking pictures of the cake on various sides.


"Want you help?" shahra's mother asked again to offer her help, hearing Arumi's reply.


"No, Mom. It's also almost done, just take a picture of the cake more. Just uploaded on social media." Arini answered the question from her mother.


"Yes, Mom. I'll just sit in the chair, if this is the case let me be the same brother who takes care of." Typal Arumi agreed with his brother.


"Yes already then. After all, I don't know the social media problem as you say." Said Syarah's mother, while approaching one of the chairs in the kitchen, then occupied the chair.
