Abah Sholeh Coffee Shop

Episode 2

Fadli immediately headed for the mushola, after sitting down, he too

immediately pray maghrib. Abah Sholeh is there, he walks with

hobbled with his cane to walk. Pray with sitting

on the chair, it seemed like the chair was indeed reserved specifically for him. Abba

saw Fadli there, but he was silent without any comment.

After the prayer is over, the rain falls rapidly, this is

being a dilemma for Fadli, the mushola was already deserted from visitors, Fadli was alone, he said,

the money is not there at all, the stomach is hungry again, it wants to come out but it is raining

profusely, want a message gojek, well the same rain, want a message gocar, in the area

it has not entered the area served by grab or gocar.

Finally Fadli just sat in the mushola emperor while

play the phone that starts lowbat. He insisted on not contacting

his assistant, because he felt he must have been able to survive. Hahaha. tonight, tonight,

sleeping in the mosque hungry. Walahs....

At dawn, Fadli was finished, the rain had fallen

long stop, some visitors still faithfully come to the mosque for prayer

the dawn was overflowing, even though the air outside was very cold. Abah Sholeh came, too,

walking limping, they looked at each other, but nothing

a word came out of their mouths.

After the Fajr Prayer, Abah Sholeh approached Fadli, “ Nak

have you eaten”? he said, Fadli just shook his head. “Yuk, help abah

in the past, after that you could eat”, said Abah Sholeh. Padli followed Abah

Sholeh who walks with a limp.

“You help Abah open the stall, then wipe all the tables and

chairs, then arranged, lift the krei (curtain of woven bamboo), behind there

public bathroom, you take that bucket under that table, then fill up the water

from the bathroom, fill the bucket of dishwashing that is here ya”, he said

any more. Fadli moved to do everything Abah had ordered

sometimes I hear Abah talking to him.

“Normally the one who does this is Udin (Udin

is the youngest brother of Mak Lena), only now the Udin already got a contract

work as a builder in the city, just last night leaving,” said Abah

again. “oh yes what is your name”? asked Abah to Fadli, Fadli replied, “name

I am Padli Pak (hereinafter Padli aja yes readers.), you call me.

I am Abah, my name is Sholeh, but the villagers here call me Abah, Abah

Sholeh. Said Abah again.

Soon after Mak Lena came, “Pat, Padli here you”

abah said, this is my wife Lena, you call me Mak Lena yes, she who

actually the boss of this stall, Abah said with a smile.

Assalamualaikum Mak, said Padli while kissing Mak's hand

Lena's. Mak Lena is the same age as her mother Padli, she wears a veil, but still

some of her hair is next to her forehead. Fatigue lines are seen in

her cheeks and eyelids, yet her gentle smile brought calmness to her

Padlis. Mak Lena just smiled back at Padli's words, it seemed like she was nagging

she has protested against her husband's actions.

“Ya already, a moment yes, mak finish this stuff first, this stuff,

abis that you can have breakfast ya”, said Mak Lena.

“Pad”, Abah calls, “you take the goods for the shop

the other one is, it's at home, from the alley next door, you walk around

ten houses, trus houses that are blue, just enter, there is Inna kok inside,

Padli also walked through the alley beside the stall towards

the house in question, after arriving at the blue house, he entered

inside because the house is not locked. “Nna, where are the items for

warung”, he shouted, because no one was seen in the house,

he had never met a man named Inna

these. Not long later a voice came from the kitchen, “it Mang, and,

plastic beside tipi” replied the voice. Padli looked in the direction

in question, and it does look there are some plastic bags that contain

stall gear there. Padli brought all the stuff and returned to

taverns.

Arriving at the stall, breakfast is available at the table

in front of Abah, it looks like Abah is indeed waiting for Padli to have breakfast together. Mak

Lena did not come to breakfast, she arranged the items Padli brought earlier. Abba

and Padli starts breakfast, Padli looks very lustful to eat, can

understood because from noon yesterday his stomach has not been touched any food.

“Pad, you want to work disni”, Abah asked, “Bah ngak can

ngasi your salary according to UMR (regional minimum wage), most also Abah can pay you

for 300 thousand a month, but so eat you Abah who bears, and again you

can sleep in this shop, all guard warung”, Abah said again. Padli

confused while scratching his head, he paid thousands of employees millions

rupiah per person, uh his turn in salary is only 300 thousand. However

seeing Abah's condition, there was pity in Padli's heart, maybe he could

work here goods a month, waiting for the Udin mang finished from his work

in town. Iyeah Bah, Ipad want, “do Ipad work anyaj”, asked Padli.

In the morning, you open the stall, keep the lap tables all arranged

bench, fill the dishwashing water, the ashes you keep drinks, “you can make it

coffee or tea to customer kan”? ask Abah. “Can Bah”, replied Padli, the problem

even at home he is used to making his own drinks, even at home

there is already an ART (household assistant) that can be asked. “Yes, you'll

I'll pack Udin's shirt and trousers, for underwear later

I bought it for you”, Abah said. “Now you go shower in the back,

people are coming”, Abah said again.

Padli immediately went to the bathroom, on the outskirts of the bathtub

looks like a shampoo that still contains. “Lumayan”, he said, because it's already

some days he did not shampoo, about the toothbrush, until now he has not

toothbrush. (ih. After the shower, she came out of the bathroom,

uh.ah, fresh, her hair is still half wet, so is her body, you see

he doesn't have a towel. Arriving at the stall, Abah looked at him, then

take a comb from the cashier's desk drawer and hand it to Padli. Padli

combing her hair without using a mirror. He has also been a few days

reflect. (hahaha.. what his face looks like).

Even though his way of life was a mess, Padli was enjoying it

living it, he's hungry, he's cold, he's dirty, he's alive

very far away from his life all this time. Maybe because of that too

so he felt happy, because he lived a different way of life. She's already

feeling bored due to all routines with very high discipline and

the hard pressure he had been living, so when his life changed precisely

makes him feel happy.
