Mr. Erik bought Abah a 32’ Lcd TV, to be installed in the Abah coffee shop.
Apparently during this time Wak Kocu often hitchhiked watching TV at Mr. Eric's house, this is
makes his wife feel uncomfortable, because Wak Kocu if you watch, will
monopolize the broadcast, the remote will be held, and until the old is just finished.
Until finally the incident happened, where the Edwin was told his mother to expel
Wak Kocu's. Of course Edwin had a way for Wak Kocu to leave his house without
make a scene.
Padli told Abah to install the TV on the top wall of the corner of the room, so that all
shop customers can see it. And finally after installing the electrical installation
then the antenna is placed on top of the roof, done already,
time to turn on the tv.
TV turned on, but the picture is still blurred, wak Kocu took the initiative to shift
tv antenna to find the right signal, and the result is still blurred image.
Si Said commented that his tv antenna should be placed outside using a pole
or pole, but how do you get that pole? Padli looked at Abah
with a surrender look. Abah was silent too. Finally bang Mandor
said “Pad, take your cleaver, we find bamboo only as its mast”. Padli
go with the Mandor bang to look for bamboo, long enough also they
leave before finally returning with a piece of bamboo
length. Antenna was installed at the end of the bamboo, and was erected beside the stall.
The result is very satisfactory, wak Kocu immediately took the remote and stored it in
his pocket. This became a quarrel between him and his fellow customers.
“Walah... what a rousing day”, Padli said in his heart. When everyone
focused on the TV, Padli approached Inna.
Article : Nna. eng.. Nna still angry with you brother?
Inna (Inna just shook her head, while her eyes were still staring at the TV)
Padli: Brother wants to know Nna's answer to last night's brother's explanation.
Other : He.em..
Padli (Padli confused, how to ask) Nna.
nna's feelings are the same brother?
Inna (Inna was silent, but her face was ashamed)
Padli : Nna.. eng.. If you propose to Nna to get married, would you?
Inna (Inna was silent, but she nodded her head at a glance).
Padli shouted, Yes... . Everyone in the shop immediately saw it.
Padli fell silent while looking at Abah, forgetting that Abah was there.
Since the TV is in the stall, the condition of the stall is getting crowded, the variety of customers who
come, someone ordered a glass of coffee but sat in the stall for hours,
some even sit outside to play chess. The shop began to feel
narrower. Bang Mandor asked Abah to keep the shop open until night
day, at least until the 9-10s, Abah agreed, but on the terms of time
maghrib, the stalls have to close for a while, and again only sell drinks, which
this means that only Padli serves customers. That also means
stall revenue is increasing. I started thinking about raising my salary
Padlis.
That afternoon Ustad Bambang came to the stall to visit Abah, he wanted to ask for answers
Abah on his proposal during the Sea Festival. Abah let him in, and,
and they were sitting at a table close to the steeling drink.
Ustad Bambang : “How's Bah doing, kan” healthy?
Abah : Alhamdulillah, Bang. (meaning Bambang) Cuman, Maknya si Inna
lately a little unhealthy, so he rarely comes to this shop.
Ustad Bambang: Have you been taken to the hospital?
Ustad Bambang: Thankfully, I hope you get well soon.
Then Ustad Bambang grazed a glass of coffee that Padli had provided.
Ustad Bambang: Look Bah, Si Dedi has a younger sister, the Santi, well she has
have a candidate to marry, but it feels less afdol (Complete, fine, etc,
it is up to readers ajalah.) if stepping over his brother, especially his brother already.
ready to go to the stairs. Because it's Bah, about our conversation yesterday,
I want to hear Abah's answer.
Cold sweat and pounding awaits Abah's reply, while Inna
also be there looking for busyness by arranging the dishes under steeling
the food.
Abah : Regarding that, I apologize for not being able to give a decision now,
first because the Maknya Inna is not healthy, and again I have not spoken
with Andi, Abang si Intan, it feels like he as the oldest child has rights
also in deciding the case of his sister, therefore, I beg Mr. Ustad
in order to be a little patient first, I promise to give an answer as soon as possible.
Huff..... Padli could breathe a little, he looked at Inna for moral help.
Inna looked at him gently.
After getting a promise from Abah to give an answer as soon as possible, Ustad Bambang
soon after, Abah went home. Looks like he wants to
pray Zuhur at his house only.
On TV is broadcasting the opening news of Palm Oil Seed Processing Plant
(CPO factory) in Kalimantan area. Yitno seemed to walk side by side with
Mr. Governor to start the opening of the factory. Mr. Governor
saying that the opening of this factory will absorb hundreds of people of labor
all of which come from local areas, so as to reduce unemployment
in the area. Yitno with her luxurious batik clothes looked
smiling served the reporters who had gathered to immortalize
that moment. “Walah..Yith..Yit.., the charade of your smile is”, thought Padli,
because Padli knew that Yitno was very unhappy with all the ceremonial events
like those.
Sanbil saw the TV show bang Mandor commented, “If anyone wants to make
Fish Processing Plant for export in this region, surely the fishermen will be
can increase his earnings”. Bang Mandor's comments are a matter of debate
among customers, there are agree but there are also those who disagree with various
like reasons. It turns out that the presence of TV in this stall gives an atmosphere that
different for the shop.
In the evening Padli chats through WA with Yitno
Yitno: Bro, how long are you going to be there? Tired, come back to me.
Padli: Yeah, I know bro. Be patient, soon. The first target is done.
Yitno: Really, bro, can you be the only employee of the coffee shop?
Padli: Do not be trivial, even without the frills of the president director, charismaku
not reduced, hehehe... (Padli laughed proudly).
Yitno: What are your plans again?
Padli: Abahnya left again, indeed this is a little complicated, because it must open
my identity, but I'm sure everything can be done.
Yitno: Do not be long, bro. I also want to find my candidate too. After you
I also want to go home and ask for a leave of absence.
Padli : Yes, be safe...
They cut off the conversation, and Padli went into the stall to rest.
