The next morning Halim awoke to the sound of water splashing in the room next to her.
Halim glanced at the clock on the wall, at 04:40 in the morning. He immediately sat himself on the bed and reassembled his consciousness.
"Her husband Anton has woken up and now while taking a bath, I also have to shower immediately and prepare for the Fajr prayer in the mosque." he murmured.
The room to the right of Halim is indeed Anton's room, while the room to the left of Halim is a reading room for Anton, there are various successful guidebooks and also several books on religious understanding.
After finishing the bath Halim immediately out of the room and at the same time Anton also just came out of his reading room.
"Are you ready to go to prayer?" anton asked, while walking closer to Halim who was also walking towards him.
"Yes, you are also neat, let's go together." said Halim invited Anton.
"Hum" said Anton. They walk together out of the house. And walk together to the mosque. On the way to the mosque, the voice of the dawn adhan was reverberating. They accelerated their pace to get to the mosque quickly.
They are now ablution, and enter the mosque. They performed the congregational dawn prayer, after the two rakaats had finished their solemn prayer.
May my good intentions for Halim not be misused by him. Lead Halim to a straight path. And protect Halim and his family from all manner of misleading worldly temptations. Aamiins.
prayers in Anton's mind for Halim and his family.
O Allah make the servant of the one who obeys You, protect my family from the misleading temptations of the world. And protect the Antonites from all your misfortunes and calamities. Ease Anton's affairs and give Thy sustenance at every step of his feet. Aamiins.
prayers in Halim's mind for his family as well as for Anton's family.
After they finished praying, they shook hands, not only with the two of them, but they also shook hands with other worshippers.
Halim, who had been wearing her sandals and waiting for Anton to leave the mosque, went back inside the mosque because Anton called her.
"Halim, there's something I want to talk to you about" he said, "We're just talking inside the mosque" he said again ahead of the entrance to the mosque.
Halim answered with a nod of her head. In his mind he was thinking about what Anton was going to talk about it seemed very serious.
What will I talk about? It seemed very serious, visible from his stern face. Is this because we went to the club last night?
inner Halim stepped into the mosque and sat down beside Anton.
"What's the matter, it seems so important?" halim asked after he sat down.
"Dad, this is very important. That's why I invite you to talk here, so that we can calm down in this conversation." said Anton still with a serious face looking at Halim.
"I want to ask you something, maybe it's personal. Would you mind?" anton asked to start the conversation.
"Please ask, if I am able to answer I will answer, if not, do not force me to answer." said Halim.
"Hum" answered Anton briefly. "Do you know about your brother, Ikshan? While he was working with my family in this town?" tannya
What does Anton mean about Ikhsan's affair? inner Halim.
"Hum, I know." answered Halim briefly.
"I don't want the events Ikhsan experienced, you also experienced them" Anton said worriedly.
"Don't worry, God willing I can take care of myself for my son and wife" Halim said.
"Can I trust you?" ask Anton seriously.
"If you doubt me, don't trust me too much" said Halim a little annoyed.
"All right, I believe you. And I know you're the one in charge, so you have to take responsibility for what I'm going to give you." Anton said.
Halim fell silent with her forehead shrinking and she looked at Anton. Anton also looked at Halim sternly and said to her, "It's been almost three months that you've been guarding my shop, and I gave you time to return my capital. And from the money you have earned so far, my initial capital has returned. And from today onwards, keep your own money. Because the shop you're guarding right now is your shop. I give you full confidence to manage your own business. And I hope you're wise in managing it."
"What are you talking about, right? Aren't you fooling around? What about your wife, does she agree with your intentions?" Halim railed against Anton with questions.
Anton chuckled, "Hahaha, I'm serious about my words, Halim! As for my wife, she totally agrees on this. It was precisely this goodwill from him" he said with a smile.
Halim does not know how he will express, happy or sad. All he felt now was thanksgiving for the favors God gave him through Anton.
Thank you God for the blessings you have given my family. Always give your mercy and sustenance to Anton and his family, O Allah. Aamiins.
inner Halim.
"Thank you, Anton. God willing I will manage it well." said Halim.
"Hum, alike! I trust you, Halim! Don't tarnish my trust!" said Anton. "Now there's nothing more to talk about. We better get home now!" continued saying.
"Hum" answered Halim briefly. They stood up from their seats and walked together out of the mosque until they got home.
Anton, as usual, sat down to relax on the porch of his house. While Halim he went to his room to change clothes and prepared to go to the store to open the sale.
"Hum, careful!" sahut Anton's. Halim nodded then stepped back out of the terrace. His steps stopped when Anton held him.
"Remember, wait!"
Halim stopped where he was now, only turning his head to look at Anton.
At that moment Anton said to her, "Have you prepared a delivery for your wife and children? The day after night I left for the village."
Oh, I haven't prepared it yet. The day after tomorrow night I just prepared.
inner Halim.
"I haven't prepared it yet, tomorrow I'll have my daycare ready." replied Halim casually.
"All right, I'm waiting for that." said Anton.
Halim again continued his way to the store to open the sale. During the trip to his shop he was happy.
Thank God I have my own shop now. Sarmi must be happy to hear this news. Eh by the way I'll give what to them well?
inner Halim.
Now his steps have arrived in front of his shop. He stopped thinking. With bismillah he opened the door of his shop and began to remove and arrange the items on display outside so that it is easy to see by buyers.
Because it had become his daily activity, Halim quickly arranged his goods for sale.
When he finished, he sat down to relax in a chair inside and wait for the buyer to come. At that time he again thought about what he would give to his son and wife.
*Hum, this is the first time I've given gifts to my son and wife in the village during the three months I've been here.
What will make them happy? Oh, for the kids I give you clothes and toys. And for my wife enough I send her some money, some clothes and a letter.
And to my in-laws I'll give her some clothes. As well as for my parents, I'll give her some clothes*.
inner Halim.
He smiled to himself at how happy they were to receive gifts from him.
"By simple it can make my children happy" he murmured
"Alright, today I'll close quickly to find a shirt." he continued muttering.
Halim's solitude is now disturbed when she hears someone's voice in front of her shop.
"Excuse me,"
Halim stood up from her seat and saw who was in front. Apparently a woman dressed sexy. "Is there anything you can help?" ask Halim politely.
"Yes, this is a list of items I want to buy, please prepare everything and in total, well!" said the woman while giving a piece of paper containing the name of the item in need. Halim accepted and read it.
"May I sit there waiting for my things?" say that woman again. Halim smiled and nodded, "Please, I prepare the goods first." he said.
The woman sat on the bench while Halim, he entered the store and prepared items that fit the note on the paper.
Many items are also purchased, what is this for resale or for their own purposes?
inner Halim as he prepared the item. Each item he took as many as five pieces.
Now Halim has finished preparing his goods, and now he memota the goods, so that it is easy to check again and easy to calculate the amount.
After he finished his note, he checked his goods again while entering into a large plastic. Every item that is input he gives a check mark on the note in the name of the item.
"Sampo Dave, image handbody, soft perfume, rexona, liquid image bath soap, Pepsodent 12O gr, room perfume, brown color lipstick, pixie solid powder, small floor soklin, Ok, room perfume, they all went into the plastic. No one missed anymore. Now it's just to add up the total amount" Halim said to himself.
After all, Halim came out with a plastic bag in her left hand and a grocery note and a piece of paper in her right hand.
The item he put next to the woman's feet, "This is all his stuff, and this is his shopping note." said Halim while giving the note to the woman.
The woman received it and read the total money and took the purse out of the bag and took out a few hundred thousand pieces of money to Halim. "It's retry count, the total is eight hundred and fifty-five thousand, right?" he said while handing over the money to Halim.
Halim took it and counted it, then he went back inside and immediately came out holding forty-five thousand in change for the woman.
"This is the return, thank you for shopping here" said Halim sincerely.
"Sama-sama," said the woman, taking her change and putting it back in her wallet and she left Halim's store with her groceries.
Halim was grateful in her mind while looking at the woman's back.
Alhamdulillah is still early in the morning, has already obtained extraordinary sustenance.
