14. Mistakes

Throughout the life we live sometimes there will be mistakes that we make whether intentional or not. It's okay for the mistakes that have happened at least we have to be determined to be able to improve in the future

Precisely the terrible when it knows it is wrong but manipulate yourself that the mistakes made are the right things that do not need to be corrected.

**************************************

I was at the pentol unyu branch not far from the boutique. This time I rented a shop. This place I call Miepa (Mie, Pentol, there is Boba and coffee) because in addition to pentol unyu menu was increased with contemporary coffee, boba and chicken noodles.

Especially this chicken noodle I hired Bang Ipul, a chicken noodle maker who used to sell using a traveling cart. During this pademi period the sale of chicken noodles slumped sharply. Buyers do pay more attention to the implementation of health protocols that are often missed by small traders.

I paid Bang Ipul quite expensive because no matter how the taste of chicken noodles must be authentic and have different characteristics with other chicken noodles. Instead I get a recipe and how to process chicken noodles. Any time he stops, I already know the recipe.

I do not mind paying expensive Bang Ipul because the price of shophouse rental is cheaper than the standard price. Many tenants do not renew contracts because of a lack of sales.

During the pademi period I did have to rack my brain to attract buyers. Economical packaging one of the best sellers from Miepa. With half-serving chicken noodle stuffing and pentol unyu always ludes in the hunt of the buyers. In addition, there are also some boba that I pack in 250 ml glasses at affordable prices.

Our servants always look neat complete with masks and gloves. This is an important point for me because trust in a well-executed Health protocol makes us a buyer choice.

"Any Orchid is looking?" I was with Bang Ipul in the kitchen when Risa, one of Miepa's servants, approached me. Today Risa uses the powerpuff girl motif mask that made her successfully record sales of 10 masks within half an hour. I did facilitate masks for employees as well as a marketing trick to promote my selling masks. If they manage to sell masks there's a fee I give them.

"Who?".

"Risa's never met so don't know, sister".

" Chick or guy?".

"Cowok, Brother".

I immediately went out of the kitchen to the guest sitting on our back. Just look at the haircut from behind I already know who's coming. Many years behind him so that my conscious recorded both the physical Adicolor

"Eh Adiwarna, apa kabar?". Kedua alis tebal dan mata tajam itu menatap Ku karena tertutup masker Aku hanya bisa menebak dari tarikan wajahnya jika ia hanya tersenyum tipis.

"Baik masih kenal juga padahal make masker nih"

"Iya masih kenal lah. Ada apa?". Mata di hadapan Ku meredup sendu. Aku bisa mencium aroma minta bantuan.

"Nggrek sekarang sukses ya Aku ikutan bahagia nih makin hari Aku melihat perkembangan usaha mu semakin baik". Aku mencium aroma basa basi yang begitu kental. Apakah selama ini dia memperhatikan apa yang Kulakukan.

"Maksud mu apa Nggrek. Kamu marah karena kejadian yang lalu. Aku enggak nyangka kamu sekarang menjadi pendendam". Si Playing victim mulai beraksi. Sekarang Aku paham kenapa selalu merasa bersalah padahal Aku selalu membantu setiap usahanya ternyata dia pandai memanipulasi orang lain untuk keuntungan diri sendiri.

"Aku tidak dendam hanya saja saat tamat kuliah Aku malah cari kerja dan bekerja kantoran. Andai segara membuka usaha mungkin bisa lain cerita"

"Oh itu, ya namanya garis kehidupan". Aku tersenyum dari balik masker pink dengan motif bunga. Sekarang pasti mengatasnamakan takdir atas pilihan hidup yang dia buat sendiri. Sebuah takdir yang dipilih oleh tangannya.

"Anggrek Aku minta bantuan untuk membantu mengelola usaha. Sekarang keuangan Ku sedang tidak stabil. Beberapa usaha tidak berjalan baik bahkan ada yang tutup. Selama ini Aku biasa berdiskusi dengan kamu jika ada kendala dan Aku memantau Kamu mampu mengatasi Pademi ini"

Aku tersedak mendengar penjelasan Adiwarna ternyata sifat tak tahu diri dan malu sekarang telah mendarah daging dalam dirinya. Rasanya pengen teriak makanya kasih tahu ma istrimu jangan beli barang high end mulu, pakai pamer pula di sosial media. Simpan uangnya, investasi kan lagi. Putar untuk modal tapi apalah daya mulut Ku berkata lain.

"Maaf gak bisa Adi, usaha Ku pun sedang berjalan. Kami pun tertatih untuk melangkah. Didalamnya tidak ada yang tahu selain Aku tentunya. Apa yang Aku lakukan adalah terus melangkah walau terkadang hanya diam ditempat sampai menunggu keadaan tenang tapi tetap pantang untuk mundur".

"Itulah Anggrek yang Ku kenal makanya Aku yakin ditangan Kamu. Usaha Aku akan berjalan kembali dan bangkit"

Adiwarna benar-benar tidak tahu diri. Dia berpikir Anggrek masih seperti dulu yang selau berkata iya pada kemauannya.

"Adi, Aku enggak bisa dan berapa yang mampu kamu bayar untuk semua ide, tenaga serta waktu yang Ku gunakan ketika membantu usaha mu"

"Oh now you count?". The reddened face of Adicolor makes my emotions go up but I can bear to remember visitors start to look crowded. My waiter was busy directing somewhat not too close.

"Yes the Adi you offer is a job. I'll be your worker. Of course you paid me a day. This job is not voluntary work. Everywhere the employee is paid if he is not paid his name is rodi work". I satirize Adiwarna.

Adi's forehead turned into pias. Still fortunately the mask saves half the face of Adiwara if it looks full somehow like this one man.

He still considers an Orchid who so sincerely loves himself and will do anything.

Adicolor does not know when to become an adult in addressing this relationship. All that has happened is the past while I live in the present to build the future. I admit sometimes it hurts my chest to miss something that can never be had again. I did try to avoid the feeling that sometimes comes but who can control the heart.

"Sorry Adi now there is still a lot to do I hope you get a hint to overcome the problem". I left Adiwarna.

From behind the glass of the chicken noodle cart I could see Adi walking straight towards the wrangler sport door 4. For the condition of the business he who was down seemed like the car was expensive. He should be able to rotate as capital or savings.

Like myself who prefer cars a million people as an operational vehicle taking into account the interests and needs that exist. I prefer to expand my business. One day maybe I can change a million cars but when my efforts start to stabilize and produce more.

It's not just the patemis who burden you, Adi, but your lifestyle.
