The Tainted Bride
Chapters 16. First Day of Trading

"May I continue to be patient with God." Olivia's prayer in my heart.

Olivia stared at Reza's back, who left with the files in her hand. It's possible that the man came home with only a work file left at home.

"Ah your spirit is Oliv, there is no need to think of anything either. The important thing is to try from zero. Now you're just a rice merchant sitting around, who knows someday you could have a depot or even a restaurant." Olivia encouraged herself and shook her head when she felt her dreams were too high.

"Kun fayakun, whatever becomes the will of Allah SWT will never be impossible." Olivia went into the bathroom when her body was already feeling sticky because of the scolding.

After taking a bath Olivia went into the kitchen and saw that the rice she was cooking was still just as much as she was staying away.

"Mas Reza doesn't eat, maybe shy of spending money" Olivia guessed.

"Or maybe the side dish is not suitable" he added.

Olivia checked the omlet she made this morning. Want to cook especially because there are only eggs and noodles in the kitchen of groceries last night at the stall near the house.

"It's all out." Olivia put an empty plate over the sink. Reza does not eat rice, but the omlet that is intended as a side dish is spent all.

Olivia instantly cooks her favorite instant fried noodles. In addition to the good taste, he also likes to cook instant noodles when he is lazy or tired after shopping like now.

After the noodles are cooked Olivia directly eat it with rice. Olivia is not from a rich person so eating a menu like this alone is delicious according to him.

Finish eating Olivia washing dishes and kitchen furniture that she had not had time to wash this morning.

"Finally, too." Olivia went back into the room and sat down leaning on the bed. He took her cell phone and immediately contacted Marisa to ask her about her mother's condition.

"Mom!" olivia exclaimed as her phone call was picked up by her mother.

"What's Oliv?"

"What about grandma?"

"Well, Oliv, last night when you transferred the money, I took him to the hospital. Said the mother's doctor brought the grandmother at the right time so that the grandmother could be treated immediately and did not need to be anonymous."

"Thank God, ma'am, let's switch the call to a video call, Olivia misses grandma."

"All right, I'll turn on the data first."

"Yes." Yeah." Olivia turned off her phone and switched to a video call.

"It's your grandma." Marisa turned the camera to her mother-in-law who was sitting in a wheelchair while being fed by her.

Seeing that Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. It turns out that the mother actually took over Olivia's duties. Olivia is happy her mother now loves her grandmother.

"Grandmother how are you? It's good, isn't it?" Olivia waved at her grandmother with a happy smile.

The grandmother simply replied with a nod as her mouth was full of rice.

"Yes, my grandmother has eaten, Olivia video call next time," said Olivia and the grandmother nodded.

Olivia disconnected her video call and switched to scrolling on social media to search for job openings also looking for snack recipes that could sell. Olivia wants herself not only to rely on the sale of nasi uduk, but from other sales.

Elsewhere, Marisa gives a plate and spoon to her mother-in-law's hand.

"Feed it yourself! Don't be spoiled and like to trouble others. Still alive, right? I can do everything myself!" After saying that, Marisa left her mother-in-law on the porch alone.

The mother just kept quiet and looked down. A few moments later, he picked up the plate and spoon and tried to eat himself, even though his hands and arms seemed to shake.

With great difficulty the old woman fed food with a spoon to her own mouth while shedding tears.

Tomorrow Olivia wakes up early and prepares her wares. At 6 am, the rice was put in a box.

Reza frowned when he saw Olivia put rice and Pauk side dishes into the sterefoam and the amount was very much.

"If Mas Reza wants to eat, take what is ready in the box. It can be eaten here or taken to the office, but if you want me to prepare it on a plate I'll make it."

"No, I went to the kitchen just to get some drinking water. When it comes to eating, the food in the office is delicious."

Reza came out of the kitchen and got ready to go to the office.

Half an hour later Olivia had finished her work and Reza had gone to the office.

Olivia immediately put the rice box into a large plastic after previously entered into a small plastic each box.

"O Lord, may you pass on my trade" Olivia prayed as she stood at the door and kissed her hands.

Olivia let out a long sigh before finally locking the door and leaving the house.

"Where's Neng?" ask the taxi driver when Olivia gets on top of the angkot.

"Where is the closest campus, sir?"

"Oh want to sell that Neng?"

"Yes sir, sell rice. Maybe some students want to buy some rice."

"Neng is not far from here, but the cafeteria seems to have sold food."

"It's okay sir, maybe there are some people who want to buy on me."

"Yes, anyway, Neng. The name is windy yes, who knows, the canteen does not sell neng rice or maybe Neng's rice is better."

"Amen."

An angkot driver dropped Olivia off in front of a large campus in the city.

"Steel, rice Mas, Ma'am!" Olivia peddles her wares.

"What rice is Ma'am?" ask one of the people who gathered with his friends in front of the campus fence while talking before entering the campus area.

"Nasi uuk Mas?"

"How much?"

"If the rice is complete 35 thousand if the rice is fried chicken 25 thousand. If the one with the side dish knows tempe 12 thousand."

"Then the rice just sit fried chicken Mbak."

"Good."

"I am complete to be satisfied."

Olivia also serves students who want to buy her rice.

"I know tempeh only, used to save money," said another student.

Olivia nodded and served them one by one.

"Wei bought what?" students shouted from inside the fence.

"Sit down, you can buy according to our gadgets," replied a student who now holds a rice box sitting in his hand.

All students or students in the campus yard were running out and scrambling to buy so that Olivia's rice was sold out.

"I'm complete Ma'am, hungry!" a student's message.

"I'm sorry you're all gone. Tomorrow yes Ma'am, God willing I return to sell here," said Olivia felt bad.

"It's okay, Mom, just relax. I can still buy meatballs in the cafeteria."

Olivia nodded and smiled. All students enter the campus because classes will begin soon while Olivia leaves the campus area with thanks to God.

"Alhamdulillah, it turns out that God makes things easier."

Seriate.
