"A really long time? How much longer do I have to wait if this is the case? Huh, you chauffeur! Just taking care of it like this isn't too bad!" The young man grumbled as he peeked out from behind the car glass. He saw his driver was negotiating with a traveling greengrocer who had pulled over. The merchant had grazed his luxury car while crossing the street.
The young man was annoyed to have to wait for a long time until he threw his back on the back of the chair.
Before long the driver came over and knocked on the window glass door. The young man lowered the window glass, half. "Sorry Sir. I've already said the amount of the indemnity you're calling but it doesn't seem like he has that much money, sir."
"Well, that? Dare to do it but dare to take responsibility! Walking in the middle of the road seems like he has a street, but the turn to throw a car people do not have money. Yeah, that's! Sure. Any vegetable lontong has that kind of money! Even the sweat will not produce anything! Fortunately today I'm good again not to be tired of taking care of such stupid things, so yes they should be grateful. Come on Mang, I'm late for a meeting." After a long nag the young man pressed the button under his window glass. The window glass was closed.
"Well, looks like the guy's coming home, huh Dad?" A skinny girl stood next to the greengrocer and commented as she watched the driver walk around the car and get into the car. Soon, the car moved away.
"Maybe." The greengrocer was now confused to see some of his dishes broke after grazing the luxury car earlier. If he has to buy again, it means that the sale of the day must at least be sold out. Even so he could only buy one plate because the remaining money had to be used again for the capital he was shopping for materials to trade tomorrow and only a little money was left to eat them that day.
"Dad." The girl called her father who was tidying up the broken plates. "So Mei said Mei was the one selling. Mei can be alone. I'm not feeling well."
"Yes Mei, sorry. I'm troubling you, but this wagon is heavy. I'm afraid you can't push it because the journey to the trading place is quite far. So I took the initiative to push him to his destination, after which he will rest there while waiting for you to serve the buyer. Uh .. but, it's like this." Mei's father looks sorry.
"Oh well, let's just push the wagon again. Arrive soon too. It's still early in the morning, well, a lot of people are buying."
"But many of his plates are broken." Mei's father, showing the broken plate to his son.
"It's Saturday Dad. We offer to take her home. Hopefully many will buy."
"Yes, just bismillah."
Mei tidied up her Instagram headscarf before helping her father push the cart up close to the market. The market is located close to the Sports Center. There every Saturday, more visitors. Some shop for necessities, exercise even just washing the eyes. But also not a few who shop for food. There are a lot of wheelbarrow traders. They are on average already subscribed so they already have their respective shopping places.
Luckily, the vegetable carts of May when it comes directly invaded buyers. They hope to have a vegetable breakfast there. Many also asked to be sent home. In an instant, the vegetable lontong sold out.
Indeed, small traders like them can only sell vegetables in small quantities because the selling capital is not much. Mei's father actually wanted to sell in front of the house. Honey, their house is small and lives in a narrow alley so it's hard to sell.
"May, the sale is over. I'm gonna rest here. If you want to go to the Sports Club, play. I'll wait for you here."
"Are we not shopping yet Dad?"
"Later. Dad's gonna shop." Mei's father leaned his body against the wall of the market fence as he sat on the plastic chair he was carrying.
"It's okay Dad, Mei knows what groceries to buy." Mei opened her waist bag and counted the amount of money raised. "Well, go first, okay?"
"Eh wait for Mei. Please throw out the broken plate. It's already dad's packing in there." Mei's father pointed with his chin a pile of broken plates wrapped in plastic that were on top of his wagon near the vegetable pans.
"Yes Well." Mei took the package and took it away.
Before entering the market, Mei dumped the garbage on a large garbage dump belonging to the market. Then he went to the market and shopped. The girl went to her father's places. He used to accompany Dad shopping so he memorized Dad's subscription places and also his groceries.
"Where's father?" Ask a vegetable merchant when he sees Mei.
"Oh, waiting for the trade sir."
"Oh." The old man tidied the corn in front of him. "What do you want to buy?"
"Custom Sir. This pumpkin is the same ..." May chooses the groceries.
He moved several times to several places to find his groceries.
Mei saw her hands full of groceries. Today there are some merchants who give cheap prices because it is considered to help parents with shopping for merchandise needs and friendly also cheap smiles. So he can buy 2 dishes and a pack of hodgepodge for their lunch. Mei smiled happily.
As he walked out of the market, he met a traveling salesman who had his wares draped around his neck on a wooden tray. They sell all sorts of key chains. But that afternoon the sale has not sold.
The young keychain salesman could only bow languidly in the front seat of a shop. Mei tried to see the rest of the money. There are ten thousand.
"How much is that one hanger?"
"Oh, that's .. five thousand Brother." The young man looked excited.
Mei almost laughed. In view of it from anywhere, it was clear that Mei was younger than the young man before her but she was called 'Sister'. My money is ten thousand, but, yes. Mei was determined to help the young man.
Mei tried to see the young man's merchandise. One keychain drew his heart. A keychain of two balls of wool thread joined together to form a teddy bear with his eyes taped to blue.
"I want this." Mei pointed to the keychain after previously putting her groceries on the floor. He gave her the money.
The young man gave me the keychain and the change.
"Please Brother. Sellers." The young man hit his wares with May's money. "Hopefully blessed to have helped me Brother."
"Amen."Answer May again. He immediately put the key chain in the zipper hooks his waist bag then smiled. It looks funny too, Mei thought.
May soon hauled her groceries back and out of the market environment. He came to his father's cart.
"Dad, let's go home."
"Dad, Dad why?" Mei approached, and looked at her father's face.
"Mmd? Dad's a little dizzy. Come on, we'll be home soon."
Mei put her groceries in a drawer under the cart, and pushed the wagon away to her father. The man seemed to be staggering pushing his wagon.
"Dad, tomorrow May just sell it yourself, huh Dad? May can sell on her own. In a place near. Father rest tomorrow. Tomorrow is Sunday. Must be selling well selling anywhere."
"Yes, yeah. It's up to you."
They pushed the cart up to the house. Mei's father immediately sat down at the front bale-bale of the house and wiped off her sweat.
"Dad we just eat right away Well, soon it's time for lunch Well."
"Yes, prepare there. I'm gonna take a break. Take your groceries to your mother first."
"Yes Well."
Mom, Dad and Mei enjoy lunch with just a pack of hodgepodge they share the three with rice. After that, her mother prepared a vegetable dish for the morning to help Father Mei, while Mei herself rested in the room.
Prong ...
The sound surprised Mei. He's coming to the kitchen right away. There he found his father lying on the floor unconscious. Not far from there a bowl of chili just finished cooking, spilled on the floor. Mom looks worried sitting next to Dad.
"Mom, Dad why?"
"Please call Bang Oding by the side, please take me to the hospital."
"I-i-iya Ma'am."
It didn't take long, the little May house was filled with neighbors. They helped bring Father and Mother Mei with 2 bikes. His father was half-conscious and taken to the hospital.
Mei is confused at living alone at home. He finally tried to finish his mother's cooking, and checked the other items. Then he washed the dishes.
I should have money, I should trade tomorrow, but. Not enough for tomorrow's trade. Hah .. My money is five thousand more ....
But the girl went to the market. He was forced to buy chili powder because it was cheaper.
-------------++++-------------
A luxury car cornered past a deserted place looking for an alternative road but suddenly a man appeared from the left walking fast and bughh ....
The man disappeared from the sight of the people in the car, making them panic.
"Hey! We hit people, huh?" asked the young man in panic.
"But sir, it looks like he's just into a car stamp, not a crash." Driver believes.
"Let's see outside. Just be careful if you hit people, you take responsibility yourself!"
The driver, who had grayed his hair in some places, immediately went down and checked, but then did not appear for a long time.
"What, long time?" The young man was impatient and came down. He was surprised to see the man who was hit by his car earlier, now is pointing a knife at his driver in a state both equally face down. Both are invisible from before.
Because he was so surprised he retreated backwards to hit someone's body. He turned his head and found 3 men in the appearance of thugs showing his evil grin right in front of his face. One of them is holding a knife.
The young man was frightened but tried not to be seen. "Eh, what do you want?"
"Of course .. drain your wallet."
The young man laughed softly. Suddenly he tried to escape but was overtaken by them. The two men's friends managed to catch and beat the young man to the ground. The man is angry. "You want to feel your face become a fine lash, huh?" He pointed the knife in his hand towards the young man's face.
The young man closed his eyes. "Ah, geez. Don'tnn ...."
Instantly it was seen a rain of powder that led to the faces of the evil men. After that their eyes were sore.
