Dear The Ex

Launchings

At seven o'clock in the morning, I went to the store with my father and mother and Ibrahim

The shop where I live deliberately has not opened because the working hours are one hour away. Rian and Dani have also been told if I want to open a shop meet me at the store

Before the rolling opened, my father raised his hand to pray that was guaranteed by the three of us, then my mother also prayed even though her prayer used Indonesian but clearly meant a lot to me

Because the prayers of both my parents are very much needed, especially the prayers of my mother, because her prayers go straight to her Arsy Allaah

Just now I was about to put the key into the lock, the roar of the motorbike of the employees entered the shop yard

"Sorry, it's late" they said

I smiled, then they all ran quickly towards me who had opened the three padlocks

At the same time they start pushing the roll open wide and then they start working

Cut to royong they sweep and wipe the storefront. Until eight o'clock less start there are buyers who come

Only five people entered, circling first, until accidentally their hands began to take the items they wanted

Until the ten o'clock start crowded, so until noon until the visitors really boomed

I served as a cashier until overwhelmed, until I was helped by my father and mother

My fifteen employees are the same as me, they are also overwhelmed with buyers

Until the lunch hour that we should have rested at one hour we had to pending so full of my shop

So busy we serve the buyer until our hunger is gone

Ibrahim, Dani and Rian until I tell them to come to the store to help, drop off the package so they can continue tomorrow

I just waved my hand at the visitor who called my name, and smiled at a glance as their phone pointed at me

"Our aunt live is okay?" say them

I lifted my thumb and refocused on counting the amount of groceries

Until finally at five o'clock in the afternoon the shop began to be rather quiet, there were only about ten people inside

"All of you eat, let this be the same mother Abraham who serves" I said, drawing the hand of Abraham who was dumb at hearing my words

Fortunately they were quick to respond, the next half hour they had all finished eating and started working again

At six I asked for the store to close even though there were still people who wanted to shop

"We open again at seven o'clock in the evening, I'm sorry, sorry to my employees because from the morning they haven't sat down" I said apologizing to those who looked disappointed

"Yes, we came from far away"

I kept quiet and looked at my smiling father

"Father will take care"

I shook fast

"No, you are the same as us, you must be even more tired" I replied

"Then we work again buk, sustenance should not be denied" said one of my employees who stood up and made some prospective buyers smile sumringah

"Those who can pray, please pray, who take care of the holiday again" I said

Because the number of girls is much more than that of men they nod their heads

And again, eight o'clock at night my shop was bustling with visitors

I want to cry so much on him

"How good is it to be with me?" my inner self with teary eyes when it came back to calculating the amount the buyer had to pay

Ten o'clock in the evening the shop began to quiet down and this was my chance to close the shop

The male employee closes the rolling. And when the rolling had been tightly shut, I immediately rushed into my mother's arms, crying as she pleased. My happiness filled my chest, and my mother also shed her tears

From behind I felt a caress in my head, and when I looked, it turned out to be my father's hand

I turned around and hugged him and my father was still like he was stroking my head

"Mama don't cry.." said Meka who made me switch to embrace her.

"Thank you to all of you" I said to all my employees, including Ibrahim, who was all sitting on the floor

"Capeknya sis.." said Ibrahim with a spoiled tone that made me immediately hold him.

"Thank you deck.." That's all I can say.

After I calmed down enough, I began to sit between all of them who were sitting facing me

First of all I express my gratitude to those who have struggled today, who because I did not eat lunch, who are exhausted from barely taking a break

"It's busy to ask for advice from you guys, hopefully our store will forever be crowded like this" I said

"Wouldn't I have two shif's for you?"

They get at each other

"I mean buk?" ask one of them

"Yes, I mean, I will add more employees, so there are from seven to three in the afternoon, there are still those from three in the afternoon until ten in the evening, how?"

They were silent, looking thoughtful

"As for me, we're obeying"

I smiled

"Well, then tonight your additional task is to find one friend who can be invited to work here, the conditions are the same to work and honestly, the other is not there"

Their faces were straight

"Seriously buk?"

"Why?" ask me back for wonder

"My friend was very envious when he found out I was accepted to work at my mother's place, and he also asked me if there was a vacancy tell him"

Others also commented the same thing that made my smile grow

"If you can't, tell your friend immediately let the others move, okay?"

"OK buk.." again they answered compactly.

"Already, to make it easier for us what if we just create a group?" ibrahim's welcome proposal agreed from the others

As soon as Ibrahim compartmentalized his hp and then others began to mention their numbers

"I send via the same link Dani, let Dani save your number" said Ibrahim casually who made Dani dumb

"Well, is that Im?"

"Udah just so...."

I could only smile at the words of the two of them

"And yes, you are Reno" I said, which shocked Reno

"Yes sister?"

"You once said that your mother's cooking is delicious, well for tomorrow you order rice for lunch the same dinner your mother only"

"Seriously brother?"

"Yes seriously, enough today we are overwhelmed to buy rice only brother to call the warteg"

Reno's face was getting bigger and back my heart was so happy to see the happiness on his face

"Call your mother first, can't she make it tomorrow?, because it's impromptu"

Reno nodded and seemed to stick the phone in her ear, while my other employees who were probably still exhausted started to switch to looking at their respective phones

"Say my mother is ready, sis, she's very happy, what does she want, sis?" say Reno again

"What if it's because it's impromptu, what matters is the side dish"

Reno nodded then seemed to say with her mother

"Hey, what aren't you going home?" I wonder at all my employees who seem to still feel at home

They nodded and began to stand up

"Now, a bonus for you" I said, giving them money when they say goodbye to me and my parents

"Tomorrow don't be late, and don't forget the friend was taken"

"Every buk." they answered.

I breathed a sigh of relief when all my employees had gone home, until all that was left in the store was me with my two children, my mother's father, Ibrahim, Dani and Rian. Because they have me tell you not to go home

I immediately walked over to the drawer I was in, and opened the drawer

"Waaaaawww.." muttered Meka unconsciously.

His hand reflexively scooped the money spread inside the drawer, then flaunted it to Bobbi

"Let's get it all out, help mama count it" I said

Quickly my two sons took out all the contents of the drawer, and placed it in the middle of my parents and Ibrahim sat down

My father and mother immediately began to sort out the money, I who assisted Ibrahim and his two friends began to count and stack according to color

An hour later we finished counting, and I again had to be astonished and give thanks to the many who were endlessly grateful to me with income today
