Like the usual days Maira doing her morning activities very excitedly. Moreover, today she will start selling in front of the house, because she has obtained permission from her husband and in-laws. Last night because he could not sleep Dika and Maira also had set his place to sell.
Maira was happier when Dika wanted to start knitting love with her. Now she has a purpose in life, which is to serve her husband well and wholeheartedly. For at this moment it is only with Him that he rests, but with His Lord. Maira should be able to put herself well as a wife and daughter-in-law in this house.
"Mai, I'm leaving first huh. "give Dika to his wife.
And as usual Maira will immediately kiss the back of Dika's hand.
"Mas, thank you, Dad? I have permission to work, my trading doain is in demand" Maira told Dika.
"Yes, I do'ain. hopefully the sale will sell well. Sell a little first, to see what interests buyers like. "
"Yes mas, the mother also said so. " said Maira while delivering Dika to the terrace .
"Be careful , "
"Yes, assalamualaikum ."
"Guilandjam ."
After closing the fence of Maira's house back into her house, she sat next to her mother-in-law who was busy watching TV . While waiting for the passing vegetable merchant .
" Have you recorded all the , ingredients that you will sell Mai? " Tanya Bu Ayu when she saw Maira was staring at the television screen .
"Already Ma'am, I will just buy it at the same stall in Mang Dadang . " replied Maira with a smile that never faded from her lips.
"Oh, yes it is then ."
"Alhamdulillah also, Mas Dika give me money for capital even though not much . Because he said he hasn't studied this month" Maira said.
"Alhamdulillah then , indeed Dika this date is still not payday . Later every Wednesday in the first week he will get his monthly salary ." Obviously Bu Ayu, he doesn't want to hide anything from Maira. Because Maira deserves to know .
Maira just rounded her mouth in response to the mother-in-law's words .
"That is why you are given how much for capital . " Tanya Bu Ayu Who is curious .
"Maira then issued two pieces of money hundreds of thousands . Segini ma'am, " said Maira shyly.
"Is that enough Mai ? If it's not enough let me add ." haggard mom Ayu.
"No need ma'am, I'll spend this in a minute at the stall to buy flour and oil, all while shopping for vegetables in Mang Dadang" said Maira who did not want to trouble her mother.
"Oh yes already then , later if less you say Mother only . If you do not want to be loved by your mother, consider it a debt . Later if you have returned the capital you can return it to mother . Okay, don't hesitate. "
Maira nodded and smiled happily listening to her mother-in-law's words .Even now he does not believe that his mother-in-law was very evil he said. Because all she knows now , her mother-in-law is very good . Yes it may be true, there are times when all those people can change . When one has received a Hidayah from Allah.
Finally the vegetable seller who was waiting came. Maira immediately bought all the ingredients she needed for her sale later in the afternoon. And a little promotion from Ms. Ayu to the neighbors around her. If it starts later in the afternoon his son-in-law will sell fried food in front of the house.
"What is not in the same money love Dika, why would sell fried food ." Again the mouth of Bu Retno's bucket that made Bu Ayu rise in blood .
Seeing her mother-in-law who was about to respond, Maira immediately restrained her mother-in-law's hand in order to remain silent .
"Thank God, ma'am. Mas Dika gave me enough shopping money . And also give a living to myself personally beyond spending money . But the name of the person, what else we are a woman, also want our own business in order to get their own income . And not just depend on our husband . If we want something urgent, we do not need to wait for a young date to raise a hand to the husband. But we can buy it ourselves right then and there, from our own sweat money. Really not mothers. " The long words of Maira are enough to clothe the mouth of Retno who is always lulid with her neighbor's affairs.
And Maira's remarks also received support from the mothers, who agreed with Maira's opinion.
"Yes that's right.. "
"Women, we must also be independent and have our own income. So if you want nothing you don't have to wait for a husband's salary ." Answer the other mothers .
"i also sell online, to earn extra income in our family . So we can 'do whatever we want with women ourselves ." Said the other mother
And finally , Miss Retno came home with a face that had been bent . Because I feel defeated talking to Maira .
"Yes, what you said is true May, so we're justifying it ."
"Emang basic Bu Retno aja who likes sirik . He doesn't like it when he sees that his neighbor is a success ."
"Yes, you have sold it later, because here there is also no selling fried food for snacks to gather with family . Or if there are guests, we are confused to find food for guest treats . If there is a fry later we can buy it to be served to guests . "
"Yes, you sell . Don't listen to one person's words . It is not the sustenance of God . What matters is that we've tried ."
Maira and Bu Ayu , who heard the words of the Neighbors who supported her to sell . Feeling happy, because they will not listen to the speech of julid again from one person.
Maira and Bu Ayu returned to her home to immediately process the food they would cook today . Like Dika's request last night who wanted chicken soto . After processing the chicken soto later , Maira will start processing the ingredients that will be her merchandise .
He smiled with satisfaction when he saw, all the ingredients were ready just to fry it later if the time to sell, so it was still warm.
Maira and Bu Ayu decide to take a break, before doing their initial routine of selling .
"Bismillah, by saying Your name . I am selling today to seek a halal and baroque sustenance for me and my family . " Maira's prayer before her , start selling .
Maira started selling in the afternoon , because the afternoon is the right time to find sustenance in this neighborhood . People have come home from work , children have also started playing outside the house . So that way maybe many buyers will come . That's what Maira is doing right now, finding the right time .
One by one the little ones, came to Maira's stall to see What Dika's new wife was doing . Maira who was mobbed by children, can only smile . Because they may be surprised, the house whose fence is always closed is now wide open and there is a trading field there .
"Sister, what's the sales sister ? " Task a daughter to Maira.
"Silver selling fried Dek ? Brother wants to buy ."Maira replied and immediately gave the question back to the boy .
"I didn't bring any money, how much did brother fritters cost ?" ask again.
"If the small are one thousand five hundred if the great are 2000s ." Answer Maira .
"Yes already then, I went home first Want to ask my mother for money ."
The boy then ran back to his house, probably to whine to his mother to buy the fritters that Maira sold .
Maira just smiled at the behavior of the little children earlier .
And soon after some mothers were dragged out by their children to the merchant station of Maira.
"Lho Mbak Maira is now selling ?" A mother asked Maira who was frying fried bananas .
"Ah Yes Ma'am, just to fill free time only . Than I just stayed home." Answer Mira shyly .
"Well, this diligent dong mbak Maira. "
"Not also ma'am, I was before marriage with mas Dika also used to sell like this . So instead of just staying, I ask ixin to Dika mas and mother-in-law to sell here. And thank God they allowed it, " answered Maira at length.
"Wah cool dong if that's it, there is a sale of fried food in our complex . So we don't have to bother, go out to buy snacks ." Other word .
And finally they buy what Maira sells, such as vegetable bakwan, corn bakwan, fried banana, and tofu fill .
Someone tried it in place , and they said that the Maira fried food was delicious . A lot of vegetables and a little flour, it was a plus they got from the food Maira sold .
"Take note of this quality mbk Mai, this is very good.Rarely selling bakwan many vegetables, which there is a lot of flour. " Said one of the mothers who had tasted the food that Maira sold.
"Thank you mothers, for the advice, " replied Maira with a smile.
Bu Ayu who saw the interaction of Maira and her complex neighbors was happy. Seeing his son-in-law was neither shy nor awkward at all to serve, the buyers were mostly his left right neighbors.
Maybe this is my passion for working like this.
