TOAST
* Slice 297, Proposal
The order for pastries has been closed a month before Ramadan, the goal is that during Ramadan, workers can have a lot of time to worship and gather with family when breaking the fast, after all there is now Andra, who is the only one in the country, surely Qeena's focus will be divided.
Already since the presence of Andra, Qeena has not much down directly during production, only orders that he has to do alone are held (because no one can be proficient at working), only orders that he has to do alone are held (because no one can be proficient at working), pudding and some cake. For bread, jam and old-school sponge cake has begun to be released by workers, usually Qeena only see the process of weighing the cake ingredients, after the production process runs, continued by the workers. So he controls and makes sure everything fits the dose. Qeena had already written all the recipes and complete manufacturing ways to follow. For Qeena, recipes can be cheated, but windfall is never the wrong address. So if the workers sell their own cookies using the recipe, the Qeena fortune will remain as it can, will not decrease or increase without the destiny of God.
During this Ramadan that sells precisely ungkep chicken, sambal and spicy fried onions. This was anticipated before Ramadan, he overestimated the production of half a hundred percent to meet demand. So when the amount is in the stock, then they close the PO. No want ngoyo because the last ten days in the month of Ramadan there is a thousand-month night, Lailatul Qadar, this is what he also wants to achieve.
"You just want to pursue, of course your workers also want to pursue that special night. After all they have families, if you close early, they can make a cake for the family, or worship together" Dafi suggested that Qeena thought.
Finally Qeena decided to put all the workers away ten days before Eid, the cake shop was closed and will reopen ten days after Eid. Qeena provides salary and benefits for holidays, later when the current month will be paid again even though the workers have a lot of holidays.

The moment of Eid al-Fitr this time is more different, at a time like now, the departure of loved ones is very much felt, because at a moment like this, there must be memories that are difficult to forget. Like Mr. Dzul who used to be very enthusiastic about tidying up the house because usually his sisters will gather at home, or Rian who knows every Eid al-Fitr has a lot of money because it can envelope from brothers.
Alifa and Kalila are now living in Ciloto because Fajar's father-in-law has no children living there, so Alifa is asked there to accompany him, after all, Dawn is also increasingly busy with practice and lecture schedules. Kalila also became an entertainer for Alifa's parents when lonely hit. After all, Bu Fia already has Andra as entertainment at home.
Lonely Bu Fia has begun to decompose a little with the presence of Andra who has begun to sembetan at the age of almost nine months. A lot of ngoceh is also like little Dafi. Although his body is plump and larger than his age, Andra is an active child. He won't be able to sleep if he's not tired. Andra is indeed abundant in love, but Dafi applies the rules if all who care for Andra can not be too pampering.
Qeena also upgraded the knowledge to make MPASI, even now the business is added again, namely healthy snacks for toddlers and toddlers. He got to study nutritionists, there happened to be a neighbor who worked in the nutrition section of the Hospital, so Qeena consulted regularly there every want to make and if it was so the cake would be tasted.
Dafi also asked Qeena to take care of business permits to make cakes categorized as MSMEs and take care of halal labels as well, in order to ensure the quality of the product in the future.
Qeena also participated in the unity of MSMEs in the Jakarta area, in addition to adding links, he also got a lot of useful training in his business.

Dafi's big family plan, this year will go to Yogyakarta, celebrate Eid al-Fitr by gathering with the big family of Mr. Dzul there, on the new third day they will go there. The car will take the route to Ciloto first to pick up the little family of Fajar who just returned yesterday, later on to Wonogiri make a friendship to the family of Mak Nuha (Mak Nuha and Pak Shaka will be in Wonogiri on the second date of Shawwal) the abis was just directly cuss to Yogyakarta to meet the big family of Pak Dzul. Mak Nuha and Mr. Shaka will follow there if there is no other event.
Most on the island of Java precisely the ramenya lebaran kupatan, the seventh day after one Shawwal, visit each other and there is like a spilled market on many roads. Something I never found in Jakarta.

The mosque near where his Grandmother Dafi lived was a group of farmers and quail farmers, the plan they would call Mamah Mimin to fill his lecture.
The big Dafi family enthusiastically wanted to come, but because the inside was already spilled overcrowded by the residents, the, Qeena and Dafi chose to sit outside and did not force themselves to huddle because Andra was also with them. Dafi proposed to sit in an angkringan right next to the mosque, because busui is easily hungry and thirsty, so Qeena had breakfast porridge gudeg, this time tasting cat rice in angkringan. Dafi held Andra sitting next to Qeena. Indeed, since having Andra, if their meal times will alternate so that there are those who hold Andra.
"Mas... That's Mba Zahwa, isn't it?" point Qeena to the figure that leads to the same angkringan direction.
"Where?" said Dafi while wailing.
"Pretend not to see?" ledek Qeena's.
"Where is it really?" ask Dafi.
"That's wearing a pink shirt, which is again the way to get here the same men wear koko batik marun. The same time the ex got to know him anyway" back Qeena pointed towards the front.
"Jealous huh? relax aja Neng .. I have no feelings for other women besides you as a person" Rayu Dafi.
Once this couple entered angkringan.
"Loh Mas Dafi is here?" zahwa said in shock.
"Assalamualaikum.." replied Dafi with a smile.
Qeena who has finished eating directly chips with Zahwa. Zahwa's stomach looked swollen.
"Oh yes Mas. This is Zahwa's husband, his name is Bang Hendra" Zahwa introduced her husband.
"Dafi.this is my wife Qeena" replied Dafi while shaking Hendra's hand.
"This is Mas's son? Masyaa Allah is very funny, chubby gini kingpins, handsome .. his face follows his mother really" said Zahwa while holding Andra's cheek.
Andra smiled sweetly which made Zahwa so even more nervous.
"Yes Alhamdulillah come to the face of the Mother, if you follow her Father will not be handsome ... how many months has Wa?" ask Dafi while pointing at Zahwa's stomach.
"God willing to enter the fourth month" replied Zahwa.
Zahwa is married to his assistant Mamah Mimin. The beginning of their meeting when eight months ago there was Tabligh Akbar in Sungai Penuh and called Mamah Mimin as one of the fillers of tausyiah along with two other ustadz. Zahwa was then one of the committee responsible for handling all accommodations and accompanying the Mamah Mimin group while at Sungai Penuh.
Love at first sight from Hendra was also welcomed. Zahwa who was unstable because of the continuing nullity when it was serious, dared to open the door of his heart for Hendra. Mamah Mimin also became the intermediary of the two, a month after the introduction, they held a wedding at Sungai Penuh. Zahwa lives in Jakarta, but if there is an out-of-town event like this she goes with her husband, as long as she is still strong and healthy then Zahwa will continue to accompany her husband.
Finally Dafi and Qeena invited Hendra to the tent crew and committee beside the stage where Mamah Mimin bertaushiiah, they sat together to listen to the tausyiah that had begun five minutes ago.
"Love is about instincts and passions, but true love according to Islam is love that arises in order to and because of Allah, because it expects His pleasure and because it wants to make it a way of worship. Islam does not forbid someone to love something, instead Islam is a religion full of affection and love. InshaAllah love that currently worshipers feel will get ridho from Allah SWT and end happily. Do not love because of lust like physical or material possessions, because God will humiliate them later, later it will appear real reality and cause regret because from the beginning it did not start with the intention of loving because of God. Do not forget to involve God in every business including matters related to fighting for love. Stay close and multiply the good deeds to Allah and ask for the best guidance from Him. In fighting for love, what should be avoided is zina, which is adultery in any form whether adultery, eye adultery, adultery of mind, or adultery of works because they are all sins"mama Mimin said with passion.
Mamah Mimin seemed to sit for a while then drink a glass of water presented in front of him. Then he stood up again.
"When we have found someone, we are encouraged to get steadfastness by praying istikharah, God will give the best guidance what should be done so as to avoid misguided ways or wrong steps. Always improve in terms of morals and hearts will later get the best soul mate and get the results of what is fought with the best results anyway, as a human being can not feel high, as a human being, we must always feel low before God. Improving yourself will make someone better for the person who is being fought for" said Mamah Mimin.
It appears that a committee gave the paper to Mamah Mimin. Then Mamah Mimin continued his tausyi.
Andra looked very calm hearing tausyiah. Not as angry as most of the other kids. Ga asked ASI also because before going to the mosque she was full mimi milknya. While in Dafi's seat, Andra listened with his mouth open and his round eyes looking at the crowd.
"Many things can make us learn, for example from toast. Do you all know how to cook it? Yes right on the frying pan, precisely with a flat plate iron that is heated, then given margarine/butter on it so that the bread and base are not sticky. This is actually a subtle way of separating two lovebirds, such as bread and frying, see they are always swaying together in the heat of the fire of love (iron plate) but can not be sticky. This means do not love until forget the land especially if the end is not married, many are lost tuh the woman. So be careful of women. The toast is thick but tender, such a shape makes it easier for us to slice (ga to break) into several slices. Each slit seemed like space for taste. For example, we love jam or chocolate and even cheese there according to customer orders. While the outside of the bread is polished margarine as the antagonist of the bread separator and fryer earlier. From there we learn that man must be like that, our body must be strong in living life, but still we are airy and sincere with all His provisions, do not be too hard and arrogant" added Mamah Mimin. Then he sat for a while to drink another sip of water provided by the committee and rubbed the sweat on his face with tissue. The air today is very hot.
"Slices filled with jam if we observe, describe if life is full of color and taste. Want to choose the sour chic strawberry, savory peanut butter, pebble pleasure messis or salty cheese. It's all up to you all. Because life choices have consequences. Like bread that risks the heat of the iron plate, flipped back and forth, then see if it has been cooked. If the bread is not burned properly, the buyer will not get the delicacy. Life is like that, humans should work hard, until sweat pouring profusely can even be squeezed, no matter rain or heat for a sack of rice" explained Mamah Mimin.
Then closed by the do'a that is promised together, many are equally satisfied with the chanting of do'a a famous ustadzah in this state. Qeena seemed to shed her tears. Dafi strengthened by hugging his shoulder with his left hand, while his right hand held the head of Andra who had begun to sleep.
They were still sitting in chairs, because there were still many pilgrims who had been sitting in the mosque starting to come out, rather than later even jostling, so it was decided to wait first, they talked together, they talked together, Zahwa and Hendra had resigned from earlier because they wanted to go straight back with the Mamah Mimin group to the train station.
"Assynolajet.. Afwan Akhi.. This is his sister?" ask three teenage girls in Muslim clothes with long and wide hijabs.
"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi... What's up, De?" wawab Dafi was polite.
"Someone wants to submit a proposal to his sister Mas" said the young woman.
"What proposal? we don't know each other yet" asked Dafi in surprise.
"Proposal introduction Mas. Maybe the same Mba can be learned first, if you are willing, I put my HP number at the bottom, we are ready to be an intermediary to continue ta'aruf. The one who proposed this was a young ustadz who taught in this mosque. Earlier, when the Tausyiah Mamah Mimin did not deliberately see this Mba and was interested, he hastily wrote this proposal and asked for our help to convey "the woman replied.
"De .. First of all this is not my sister, but my wife. The second, if you want to be an intermediary mbok yes diiat-liat first, the woman is there a companion next to her. She sat with me side by side, and there was a baby. It is clearly his status. I think these sisters can tell which brother and sister are husband and wife" Dafi said, trying to hold back emotions.
"Afwan Akhi's... We did not think the next door was married, because it looks still single. Once again we apologize profusely" said the woman's entourage.
Qeena held back a smile from earlier. After they left, many men who were passing by looked at Qeena.
The beauty of Qeena has never faded since the first, even since the birth of Andra, the beauty of Qeena even increased. His body quickly returned to its original form when he was not dieting, just following a routine as usual and taking care of Andra.
