Beautiful Tailor

The Lestari Hat Collection

Living on the beach and having a business sewing a beach hat is very fitting. Tari business is now increasing, unlike when living in Pandanan village first, the stitches that come only a little. Even when he last occupied his sewing stall, no one came to sew clothes.

Dari no longer knows how the people in Pandanan village. He really did not want his existence known to anyone. Even Dodi only knew he lived in the Green beach resort but did not know exactly which house he occupied.

Dance also does not know knowing if the stall of her father's legacy is flattened with the ground, there is no trace of it anymore.

Currently Tari is busy sewing beach hats, because two days ago the hat sold by Rian one of his resellers ludes was bought by beautiful boule-bule, Rian said. Not only Rian, Tari was also happy about it because he made a lot of profit.

Today Tari will finish stitching her hat so that it can be peddled by Bu Rosita and several other resellers. Because the hats that have become his stock is not much anymore, because it has been sold out by the beautiful boules that Rian said. So Tari must pursue the target of finishing the hat before tomorrow.

Actually that day he also intended to go to the market center in the city to buy cloth materials to make hats, because the supply of fabric materials for hats was thinning in his home.

But since morning Tari sat in front of her sewing machine finishing one after another of her homemade beach hats was not even over. Finally the intention that he would go to the market center was canceled because the day was getting late, until the afternoon when Bu Rosita came home from peddling hats too Dance had not moved from the sewing machine.

Ms. Rosita had finished cleaning herself, she had also finished cooking for their dinner together. Soon adzan maghrib reverberated but since he had seen Dari seemed reluctant to move from his sewing machine.

"So soon Adzan, Dance. Do you not intend to pray? You haven't had a shower, have you?" Miss Rosita said softly while looking at Dari from the side.

Instantly Dance stopped her work. He smiled at his stepmother, "Yes, Mom. Thanks for reminding me of Dance." Dance got up and walked to the bathroom to clean herself up.

Miss Rosita shook her head. Since living in this coastal area, somehow Dance seems to be a girl who forgets time. Many times Ms. Rosita had to remind him like before, remind him to eat and even remind him to rest. Long stay together makes the two love each other and take care of each other.

In the evening when it was over dinner, Dari continued to sew the beach hats. Because tomorrow he had to go shopping for cloth materials to the center of the market in the city to make a hat.

Quickly Dance completed all of her design beach hats. Only tomorrow the hat will be sold by Ms. Rosita, Rian and several other resellers.

Her body was very tired and sore, Tari also dragged her feet into the room and immediately went to sleep.

In a room in a jasmine hotel, Fadly will also go to sleep. The day he spent looking for Dance in pandanan village, he asked the neighbors of Dance from house to house. But no one knows where the dance went.

Dance as if in the swallow of the earth, there is no trace of anything, no one knows where it is. He no longer knew where to find Dance. Did he just give up? because a week has been the search Tari not also met.

Fadly has also run out of money, although staying at the hotel with the cheapest room but still the money little by little used and will run out, let alone no income.

Fadly is now sitting on the back of a hotel bed. His eyes could not be closed even though he was forcing him. He checked the suitcase he had brought from America, no valuables of any kind could at least be sold in exchange for money.

He exhaled a rough breath and rubbed his face. He is frustrated with this situation. He also closed his suitcase. Suddenly he saw a beach hat given by Florentina at that time that he had refused.

Fadly took it, the hat was made of straw fabric brown with a picture of a typical coconut tree beach. He turned the hat around with his index finger, he saw every inch of the hat, the design was nice, and the stitching was also very neat.

When he flipped the hat, it was seen the hat label that read Lestari Hat Collection.

Fadly frowned, he momentarily thought, why suddenly he saw a beach hat given Florentina in his hand when he was already frustrated looking for Dance. And the hat label also reads Lestari Hat Collection.

Is Lestari making this hat her Dance? Is this all a sign that Tari lives in the Green beach area? Is this all just a coincidence? or is it a clue? Fadly decides tomorrow he's going back to Green Beach.

"Tari, it's Dodi, right?" said Ms. Rosita while pointing at a man who was not far from them.

"Yes, Mom. That's Bang Dodi."

The two of them approached Dodi. Miss Rosita pats Dodi's back shoulder, "Hey! how's Dod doing?"

Only thirty minutes drive from Pandanan village to the center of the market, but if from Green beach it will take forty-five minutes to reach the center of the market.

This morning around 10:00 Dance and Miss Rosita left home. The previous one of course Rian and friends of reseller Tari had taken beach hats from the stitching of Dance an hour before they left.

Usually if you go to buy fabric materials to the center of the Dance market always alone, you can, but that morning Ms. Rosita told Tari to go see the city because she had not gone anywhere for a long time except peddling hats on Green beach. Dance did not mind if Miss Rosita went with her. He was even very happy because there was a friend of his.

Finally they went to the center of the market together, leaving the house that had been locked and padlocked by Ms. Rosita.

"Eh! Dance, Miss Rosita," said Dodi smiling.

Dodi is carrying a used Magazine that he was previously picky which is good and still worth reading. Maybe he just bought it and he'll resell it at his stall.

Dance also smiled at Dodi, "How are you Bang Dodi?"

The three of them greeted each other, then Dodi a little tell the situation of Pandanan village today. And do not forget also Dodi told Tari about the state of the stall that is now rubbed.

No one knows who destroyed the building. But the villagers assumed that it was Bu Hanifa who had ordered and paid people to demolish the sewing kiosk building owned by Tari.

Stuck dance heard if the stall has been torn down by people, there is a sense of pain in his heart when he knew the stall sewing relic of his father was flat with the ground.

There are so many memories in that sewing stall. Starting from her teens, still learning to sew. Until now he grew up and was adept at sewing, the stall that became a silent witness to his journey in search of sustenance.

The three of them sat in a meatball stall by the roadside, they told each other stories. Dance buy Dodi eat. They ordered the same menu.

"Something seems to be winning the lottery!" said Dodi when a bowl of meatballs was presented in front of him.

"Hahaha.., Alhamdulillah Bang, Dance is getting more sustenance."

"Oh! Thank goodness then. A lot of people sew clothes with you?"

"There's just no stitching, Bang."

"Lohs?! More sustenance than where?"

Dari and Ms. Rosita looked at each other they threw smiles at each other.

"First time moved in coastal areas for up to three weeks, no one sewed clothes with Dance, Bang. Continue to Dance had an idea to sew a beach hat and peddle it both with mom. Thank God many like. The hat was Tari's self-labeled, Bang. It's called the Lestari Hat Collection. And now the hat of the design and stitching Dance has a lot to peddle even though Dari and mother do not intervene directly sell to the beach."

"Well! Thank God you are happy to hear it."

They continued to eat the meatballs they had ordered.
