Al-fatihah the Mate Opener

Gathering

Sita is a village girl who travels to the city to find a job. Sita was accepted to work at a well-known company in the city of Bandung, as a loom MC Operator. Seita girl is simple, polite, and kind, she always tries not to disappoint her parents. Sita's parents always instilled good religious values in Sita.

Before Sita went to the city of abah.

"Wherever, whenever, as busy as possible, pray not to be abandoned."

"Well Abah, Sita will always remember Abah's message." With a soft tone Sita replied.

"Asalaamu'alaikum's chat. Sita went to the city first, take good care of Abah," said Sita.

Sita said goodbye to Abah with tears on her cheeks. Not feeling the voice of Sita began to sound heavy, getting drowned in sadness.

How not sad? This is the first time Sita left abah alone at home, considering that the elderly and sickly Sita increasingly heavy left abah.

However, whatever the power, Sita must complain about her fate in the city. The mediocre economic situation of the family forced Sita to find money to meet her needs and help abah who was only a laborer.

Plus the condition of the brother who has started sickly does not allow you to work too hard. While Umi has died since Sita stepped on the bench of Junior High School.

"Wa'alaikumussalaam's chat. Of course Abah can take care of Abah." Abah answered Sita's greeting with an abundance of prayers in his heart.

Different from Sita. Although this is Sita's first time to the city, you don't look so worried, like Sita who worries abah, because there are two older sisters Sita, Riri and Fitri, there, who had gone first to wander and had settled there with their respective small families.

"Take care of yourself, son. Don't bother your brothers!" Sita nodded slowly while wiping the tears on her cheeks that had not stopped breaking.

Then Sita kissed Abah's hand.

***

Every day, Riri did not stop taking Sita to find work.

Sita's lucky fate, Sita also immediately got a job at a famous Textil company "PT. TEXTILE JAYA."

Starting from the contract, the place where Sita devotes herself to rest after being tired of work. This is where Sita found her soul mate.

Sita does not live with one of her sisters. She preferred to stay in the rented, so as not to bother her brother too much. Sita deliberately chose a contract close to the residence of her two brothers so that she could easily ask for help if something happened.

Teng! Teng! Teng!

The sound of the meatballs hitting the bowl with his little wood.

"Mang, buy Mang." Sita also bought meatballs. Like that every day Sita buys meatballs after work.

Kontrakan Sita is the permanent place of Mang Adnan meatball cart.

To the extent that Mang Adnan knows well the daily life of Sita who has been there for almost a year.

Yes, Sita is not as pretty as a celebrity. However, Sita who is simple, kind, friendly, and diligent in worship makes the hearts of parents want to make her a son-in-law. So that it is in the heart of Mang Adnan wants to match Sita with his nephew.

The next day, Mang Adnan did not miss the opportunity when Sita bought the meatballs as usual.

Mang Adnan also wanted to express the desire to match Sita and her nephew.

Teng! Teng! Teng!

"As usual, yes,"

said Sita to Mang Adnan.

"Ready, Neng," replied Mang Adnan.

"Nih, Neng is the meat."

"Waaah .. How many mang?" Sita was happy to see the contents of the bowl fuller than usual.

"Yes, bonus. It just so happens that Mang Adnan again has more windfall" said Mang Adnan.

"Waaah .. thanks, Mang," said Sita happy.

"Together, Neng." Mang Adnan replied with a smile.

"Oh, yes, Neng Sita. Already have a girlfriend yet?" ask mang Adnan.

"Eemmm .. not yet, Mang." Sita frowned in surprise.

"You don't want to, Mang Adnan knows mamang?"

"WHAT!" Sita was shocked and suddenly choked.

Ohok! Ohok! Ohok!

A glass filled with water on the table. He drank it and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Eemmm .. may."

In a half-doubtful tone responding to Mang Adnan.

"Tell you, you'll bring me here, yeah."

"Yes Mang, I'm waiting." Smiling, Sita answered.

"Well, we'll hear about Adnan, yeah."

Sita gave an empty bowl of meatballs and said, "OK! Ready, Mang." He also returned to his room.

When the night in Sita's room also thought the words of Mang Adnan.

"Not really? Is Mang Adnan joking? Yes it's up." He took a blanket and put it on and he slept.

The sound of crowing chickens woke Sita at dawn. As usual Sita took a bath, and then prayed at dawn. After the dawn prayer Sita never misses breakfast, by eating fried rice homemade.

There is nothing new in Sita's workplace. Every day just like that, with the routine of Sita's work as an MC Operator weaving in a factory.

When Sita came home from work, she walked with her friends as usual.

Setiba in Sita's contract was surprised by the presence of three men who were waiting for him.

It is unexpected that he is his nephew Mang Adnan, Ipan, and his friend Dino, while another man is Adnan himself.

Sita was a little shocked, a moment Sita was silent in shock and dumbfounded. Sita thought that Mang Adnan was joking she was serious.

"Assalaamu'alaikum, Neng Sita." Sita Sontak was awakened by Mang Adnan who gave his greetings.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Mang," replied Sita with a facial expression that still looks shocked.

"Who is this, Mang?" ask Sita to Mang Adnan while smiling gently.

"It's Mamang's nephew, Ipan, and this is Dino's friend." While pointing his thumb finger towards Ipan and Dino alternately.

"Oh, yes. My name is Sita." While reaching out his hand, and greeted with a helping hand Ipan and Dino took turns.

"Let's go in!" Sita invited them to enter.

Sita also offered them to drink alakadarnya, three glasses of water.

"Oh, this is Mamang's name?" basa Sita on Mang Adnan.

"Yes neng, you guys talk first, mamang want to sell in front. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid someone will buy."

"Oh, yes. Thanks, Mang," said Sita.

After Mang Adnan went into a moment of silence.

Suddenly Ipan tried to break the silence of the atmosphere at that time, "Introduce my name Ipan." Ipan extended his hand.

"Yes, that's 'kan mang Adnan already told you."

Their laughter also broke.

"Have you contracted here for a long time?" ask Ipan.

"Lumayanlah almost a year," said Sita

"Lumayan lama ya, Sita," Sela Dino.

"Yes, that's fine" said Sita.

"Where are your parents?" ask Dino.

"There's a room," Sita answered again

"Oh," said Dino with a nod of his head understanding.

Sita is eager to talk to Ipan, but Dino keeps interrupting. It turns out that Sita is indeed interested in the same Ipan, but on the other hand it turns out that Dino is interested in Sita.

At this time Sita herself does not realize it turns out Dino likes her. While Sita herself is not interested in Dino.

Not long they went home, because in a hurry there are things Ipan wants to do.

Ipan is an independent child, he pioneered his own business in the field of leather shoes, although it is still a small business today.

While Ipan produces, Dino itself is a business partner as a distributor.

"We say goodbye, yes. Assalaamu'alaikum." Dino and Ipan together.

"Wa'alaikumussalam" Sita replied.
