GOODBYE

35. Are you?

A few moments later....

In the warehouse room, AKim finished his aunt. Apparently, the two numbers he submitted earlier, nothing happened. Missed all away. Not to mention, in this dish are found production materials that are no longer in their existence because they are stored for too long. That is, it only looks again now because it was previously as if it vanished buried in other materials. A bag of musty wheat flour, melted sugar, and petrified butter. Akas join the head bobbles. You see, this must be the lossing value

“Pak Kas, starting tomorrow make the new system,” Enci command, while manyun.

“Good, Ci. But, Ko AKim also had to support wholeheartedly. If not, free. Mending don't work,” Akas replied.

Mangosteen mangosteen. “Until this affair is completed, Mr. Kas who holds the same warehouse purchase. AKim, you help while you study. If anything, report it to me, Mr. Kas. Or, just direct the camplungin to Bengawan Solo.” Akas and AKim chuckled.

“Lho, really this! Beware of you AKim, if you mess!” gertak the aunt.

Akas was still floundering, but AKim seemed to be trembling, instantly vanishing asunder from his face, instead of gabbling with reverence. Afraid maybe if really plunged into the Bengawan Solo River....

Next, Akas started to move. With the temporary authority granted Enci, he completely overhauled the mechanism that had been in effect in the warehouse and purchase section. In fact, the two operational activities that have been merged, separated into two separate parts. Purchasing parts and warehouse parts. According to Akas, unhealthy “duit and barang” merged one control. The opportunity to play is open. Aye, right?

Of course, there were shocks at first. Understand, the name also dismantles the establishment. But, Akas alan continued, let alone Enci was clearly supportive. AKim too, albeit with confused tones. It turns out that practical work experience in pharmaceutical factories during the SMEA first. At that time, Akas was apprenticed in the warehouse section. Pharmaceutical warehouse procedures are strict, in and out must always be reported. Don't play slonong boy.

The first month, the results have not been felt. The second month, there began to be. Third month, very good. The fourth month is good. The fifth month and beyond are stable. That's what Akas expected as the person in charge of the reshuffle.

Enci smiled with satisfaction. As it turns out, the total monthly costs for procuring production materials can be reduced by almost half. That's how it should be. Means the great lossing cost of the inefficiency of these materials so far. It is still in storage, not in production. Because of mismanagement, damaged first before it can be used. In the aftermath, the supply of profits from the bakery business also increased from the efficiency that was successfully applied. Then, that's Akas know-know-know again without halo-hello. Alhamdulillahot...

In the spiritual realm, Akas continued to search for the guru. The mandate of Mbah Bagyo, who died four years ago, was firmly in his mind. Not to be taken off, to be released. Keep gripping, with the pressure that is getting stronger every day. Where and who? So, Akas continued to follow. However, until this moment, there can be said to be no progress. Exactly with the past. Boro-boro people, the footprint was empty.

Akas admitted, his heart was agitated. It feels like rolled up a form of spiritual anxiety that is clearly not rooted in the mere presence or absence of treasure. Because, when concerned or being loose as it is now, still this anxiety exists. At first he was confused, until then fully aware that this anxiety was related to the lack of prayer. Strictly speaking, he has not been able to betray the heart, as previously discussed with Kyai Sahlan. Further than that, Akas did not know God. He was prostrating, intending to worship Him, but did not know Him. Because he does not know Him, then there is a feeling in him, this is worshiping what? Or, who? How can it be said to worship, if it does not know who is worshipped?

As it turns out, the root of the problem goes back to the affairs of the heart, the interior, or the essence. Thus, for him personally, it is clear that the law without substance is vanity, a lie. The outside look is beautiful but the inside is murky, doesn't that mean a lie? All that is beautiful, actually resides inside, then radiates out. The outside is the shadow inside. If it is beautiful inside, it is beautiful. The opposite is true in the spiritual dimension. If it is reversed, it is a mask. And Acas did not want to be masked to Him.

Thus, Akas felt obliged to seek and find the real teacher. Otherwise, it will be restless because the mask does not want to escape. He thought, lest the teacher not be in Magelang. You see, it has been searched for a long time, not met. Rules and regulations, they are. Or, charity. Read this a thousand times. Not never tried to do"pamal-amalan” so. Kenyang. However, until he was counting, he was still agitated and his heart would not leave. The feeling, the magic mask even melted in there.

There is money, there is time. I have the right to leave and leave at work. If necessary, ask permission to Enci must be given. So, Rembang until Cilacap also he studied for the sake of the teacher. If you hear news about the existence of qualified kiai somewhere, Akas will visit there. A lot already, frankly he doesn't remember everything. But, no less than Kyai Pangresa Degree, Buya Armain, Kyai Dimyati, Kyai Bustami, Kyai Zakaria Cilewo, Kyai Noah, until Kiai Shamsuddin, he already sambangi. Not to be left behind, the eccentric Parang Kesuma Uyut.

* * *

Seven months back. The Enci bakery, okay genjotannya. Money flows like cashflow Bengawan Solo River. Si Enci was no longer hesitant to Pak Kasnya. I was not considered someone else to him. Trust him so much. You see, Akas also did not cross the mind of playing “spanishan”, sparo nyolong, although his task now is not only handling finances. He was also asked by Enci to put a special touch on the other parts. Getting to the marketing strategy.

So, even without SK, many believe that Akas is the manager of this bakery. The employees respect him, he respects them. Tax officials who diligently visit it also want to with Akas rather than directly with the owner. He said, if the same “Pak Manager” more can be conveyed purpose and purpose. It's freer to ask for bread, that's it.

Aya-aya...

However, another field is a grasshopper. In the field of truth-seeking, Akas is already battered. Forgive me.... How could that much have he sambangi and exactly that much not exist? To the extent that, if it is saturated, a doubtful mind occurs. Is there really a teacher of that nature? If there is, how is the step? Or, maybe it doesn't exist? Just the writing of Mbah Bagyo? But no cooking, right? Doesn't this inner part feel like it is? It can't be that humans are just body parts, right? If so, it's called a carcass. But who are you, teacher? Where's your address?

Fortunately, in the midst of this inner unrest, tucked away the tidings of joy. Asih successfully released his fourth album. And, thank God, be awake to him. Female. His prayers are to have that rival. Because it is beautiful like the moon, then the father and mother agreed to give the name Wulan Puspasari to newcomers who will be her mother's competitors. It seems clear that Asih is very happy to be blessed with “Barbie” by the Supreme Giver. lyalah, must be for many years handling three “Power Rangers” badung who are not tired of playing sword-shade. Not to mention taking care of his “Satria Baja Hitam”....
