Time keeps rolling, days change by weeks. Bakso shop owned by Nilam, not so glimpsed by buyers. They need money to survive. They also have to raise money, for the delivery of jasmine later.
Jasmine brain-twisting, how to make the mother's merchandise quickly known by many people and began to be glimpsed by buyers. "do I sell online only, yes?" inner Jasmine.
The only daughter of wayang bu Nilam also remembered, if she still had a cellphone that had not been touched long enough. Rushing he grabbed his phone from inside the bag and then Melati went to the nearest counter to buy data, so that his phone could be reused.
"Mom, Mela's gonna take a nap, okay?" pamit Melati to the mother, after he came from the counter.
Inside the room, Melati instead of sleeping but the teenager who had to drop out of school was starting to get busy with her cell phone.
As soon as Melati's phone is active, the first thing she opens is a conversation app and Melati's forehead crinkles when she finds Arjuna's profile picture is gone. "Not only were we expelled from the city, even my cell phone number was blocked. Apparently, mama mas Arjuna disliked me so much because I was from a poor family and not equal to them." muttered Melati alone.
Arjuna is not allowed to carry a cell phone in the dorm and his phone he left at home and Sonia's mom accidentally blocked Melati's number and even deleted the girl's number from the poor family so that the son did not can contact Melati again.
Netra Melati again observed the row of letters strung together into beautiful words, which were sent by Arjuna to him moments before the young man who had caused his youth to fall apart was leaving for the dorm.
Arjuna sent a message, "keep your heart for you, baby. I promise you, I will come to my mother to propose to you. Wait a minute, baby. In five years, we will be together. I love you, Mel. Really love you."
When she first read the message from Arjuna, Melati's lips always showed a smile even when she left for school, arjuna's lover still commented on the big smile because it was so happy Melati read a message that contained sweet promises from the lover.
Now, everything is different. Melati's tears actually poured out to re-read the message from Arjuna, her heart ached because everything that happened was not as beautiful as their dreams at that time.
Melati hastily wiped away her tears, "no, I must not continue to grieve and cry. Everything has happened and it's because of my fault, so ready not to be ready I have to bear the consequences." Jasmine took a deep breath and exhaled strongly, hoping that all the burdens that were squeezing her chest could be slightly reduced.
"I have to get up, I'm sure I can get through all this. I'm going to use this phone to sell online, Bismillah.." Jasmine assiduously.
The single daughter of Nilam's mother also began tinkering with her cellphone, as a first step Melati installed an application that provides services between online food sales and then she joined in it.
Melati started making stores and installing banners in her online store, she also made promotions as interesting as possible. For the first three days, Melati even offered a twenty percent discount to attract buyers.
The young pregnant woman smiled, when she saw the results of her work. "It seems very interesting, hopefully many will look at this store and buy mother-made meatballs" Melati said.
Melati is still trying to tinker with her phone, actually she also wants to serve purchases with inter-service services. But considering he does not have his own vehicle and also has not memorized the new residential area, then Melati undo his intentions.
"Open an online store already, promotion by spreading brochures to tourists who pass by has also been. Especially, huh?" Melati frowned and thought seriously.
"It looks like I have to offer mother meatballs to the many cafes and restaurants around here, I can establish cooperation by consignment with them. Hopefully someone will," do'a Melati in heart.
In the evening, Melati conveyed the intention to the mother but Nilam refused the proposal of the princess. "No need, son. Your gestational age is still vulnerable, you must not be tired, Mel."
Melati shook her head, "no, Mom. Mela will not be exhausted because only the road around the area here alone kok, ma'am," kekeuh Melati.
Because the princess continued to force, Nilam finally agreed to her daughter's wishes. "Yes, but don't push yourself too much, son. We are obliged to try, but only as much as we can and not even make ourselves become wretched. Remember the mother's message, Mel," Nilam's mother's message to the princess.
Melati nodded obediently, "yes, my dear mother," Melati replied as she hugged her mother. Soon, the two women of different generations fell asleep hugging each other because they were tired all day to make a living.

The next day, after helping the mother prepare the merchandise in the store and after making sure that everything is ready so that the mother is not troubled if serving the buyer who came, and after making sure that everything is ready, Melati rushed to leave the simple stall where she lived and also opened a business.
Melati walk down a crowded paved highway and pass the vehicles of the tourists, who will travel to Sanur beach.
The teenager stopped by a cafe to offer meatballs made by the mother, to be marketed at the cafe. Melati gave a sample of meatballs that he deliberately brought, so that cafe owners tasted delicious meatballs made by Nilam and know and assess how it tastes.
"How, Bli?" jasmine asked the young man who was the owner of the cafe, after the young man ate the meatballs from Melati.
The young man nodded, "tasteful, but sorry, Sister. Our cafe is not suitable for a menu like this," replied the young man.
Melati smiled, "well, Bli. It's okay, thank you for judging my mother's meatballs" said Melati politely.
The young man of the cafe owner nodded and returned Melati's smile, "excitement yes, brother. Perhaps somewhere else, Little Brother's meatballs were of interest," the young man gave his spirit to the young girl in front of him.
Melati nodded, "God willing." said Melati, "let's go, Bli." and then immediately left the first cafe.
The single daughter of Nilam's mother was not discouraged, she continued to walk and look for cafes and other restaurants to offer special meatballs made by Nilam.
The second cafe he went to refused for the same reason, but the young woman never gave up. Although the cafe and restaurant that he later went to also refused even some blatantly mocked Melati by saying that the taste of the meat is not classy, He still did not give up.
Melati is still moving her legs to another place, hope is always in the heart and mind of the pregnant woman that there is nothing in vain if He wants to try and now Melati is trying to change the course of her life.
Melati wants to be able to live well enough to be able to finance her baby later, she also wants to make her mother happy in old age the only parent she has.
