Beautiful Tailor

New Home

"Aw" cried Tari, holding her right shoulder.

"Eh, sorry Mba," said a tall and well-built man who nudged Tari on the shoulder.

Dance was walking around in the center of the market to look for the hat material she would design. He had walked to the side and was very careful, but the tall and sturdy man was not paying attention to the road because he turned his eyes to his cellphone so that he hit Dari.

Dance still held her right shoulder with her left hand. His eyes were on the man who hit him. The man was the same, he looked at Dari with a frowning forehead. Then the man pointed at Dari with his index finger.

"It looks like I've seen you before" said the man.

Dance also felt like that, she was no stranger to the face of the man who was in front of her. "I too, seem to have known you, where have you been?" say Dance.

"Mmm, have you ever been to a Life Beauty salon?" ask the man.

Dance recalled for a moment, "Life Beauty?" he repeated the name of the salon in his heart. All his years he only once went to the salon and it happened at the time before he and Fadly went to the mansion of the House of Dewantara. Fadly brought Tari to the salon to make up so that it does not look pale because at that time Dari was out crying, so her eyes were swollen. But Tari did not pay too much attention to the name of the salon. What did the man who hit her earlier Life Beauty mean was the salon she had been at that time with Fadly?

"Salon Life Beauty is in town huh, Mas? I do not know the name of the salon and the address of the salon, but indeed I have been to the salon and on the second floor of the salon there is a boutique. So when finished in make up we can directly buy the clothes we want to wear in the salon, what salon is Mas mean?" say Long dance.

"Oh yes, Mba. The Life Beauty salon. I worked there once. You don't remember me?" said the man.

Stunned dance, he watched the man before him even more intensely. Ah, yes. Now Dari remembers it, this tall and sturdy man is similar to Dona, the gleaming man who was crying at that time.

"I worked at that salon as a Make Up Artist (MUA), Mba. My style used to be nothing like this" said the man who had a haircut like the soldier.

"Yes, Mas. I remember now, Mas Dona's name, right?" say Dance.

The man laughed, "It was just a nickname back then, Mba. Then introduce my name Handoko."

"Oh Handoko huh? Not Doni? I think Dona is a pun on Doni" said Tari, who also laughed.

Again Handoko laughed, "Yes, many fellow MUA friends mocked me like that. My real name is Handoko. What is the name of Mba? Sorry, I forgot."

"My name is Dance."

The woman lives in Kayu Manis village, the village is adjacent to Pandanan village where the old Tari lived. The plan is Handoko is buying something in the center of the market, then he just left for the home of the lover.

Now Tari understand, it is very unfortunate if Handoko is too aware of his role as a MUA so that he becomes carried away and becomes a gemulai like women who mostly use his services. Because Handoko has a tall and strapping body. Maybe he used to often go to the gym so that his body became formed like that.

Handoko remembered, long ago when she was decorating Dance. Dance tells me that she is a tailor. So it happens, because currently in the salon Life Beauty is in need of a fashion designer. Their old fashion designers have moved abroad so that the fashion designer bench in the salon is empty.

"Do you want to be a fashion designer at our salon?" Handoko.

Dari did not immediately answer, when Tari asked for Handoko's mobile number. If he has a decision, he will inform Handoko via his mobile phone. Dance was unsure of her ability. He was just a village tailor who only graduated from Primary School. All this time, he only designed hats, not designing clothes. And the work is more sewing than designing.

After finishing shopping for hat materials in the center of the market. Dance back to her house. Dance is no longer living in the coastal area of Green. His efforts of sewing beach hats advanced rapidly, so that he could buy a piece of land and build a house so as not to live contracting with others.

The beach hat designed by Tari now has many who sell it. Streetside souvenir shops around Green Beach also display Dance hat in storefronts for sale. All of that of course makes Tari reap many benefits. So little by little he can collect money to buy a piece of land and build a house on the land.

Dance days in her new home. He invited Rosita to his new home. His job as a tailor is now rarely done, because he now only designs beach hats and ordinary hats are fairly unique and also beach cloth.

Dance already has some workers. He hires Tina, Rian's mother. He entrusted Tina and two others to sew the hats and beach cloths he had designed. Brand Lestari Hat Collection by itself Tari changed it to Lestari Collection. Since now the coverage has expanded, it is no longer just designing hats but there are also beach fabrics.

Ms. Rosita also did not go around peddling Dance design items. Dance has forbidden it. Ms. Rosita is now in charge of monitoring the Dance workers in Tari's new home. Ms. Rosita's job is lighter than it used to be, but Tari gives a bigger salary than she used to.

Likewise with Rian, the teenage boy who peddles beach hats that Fadly has been looking for so far has also not been peddling Dance design items on the beach or on the coast anymore. Dance assigned herself to monitor and record anyone who peddled hats or beach fabrics.

Rian who is no longer an automatic hat peddler has rarely gone to the beach or to the Green beach, so that when Fadly looking for his car never met.
