Starting a New Effort

Stifen came out of the room with his wife. Stifen grasps the hand of Love tightly. "I plan to open a business. Even if it's small, hopefully it can help the economy."

"Dear, I can also help with the promotion. Along with that, I also sell cakes like before." replied Love.

"Sir Stifen need not be sad, we will help Love." said Bilqis.

"Thank you" he answered.

After Stifen's departure, the neighbors began to disappear. Their brains were already affected by Berto and Robert's speech.

"Hadeh, this house can be inhabited with one man and three women. He said Mr. Stifen was diligent in praying at the mosque. But in reality, instead bring two girls in the house." A woman vilifies her husband.

"It wasn't him who invited them both to stay here. But I told them to stay here. If you know nothing, it is better to be silent than to spread slander." replied Love.

"That's right, because you don't know who we are. Befriended with Love for a long time, which may be her husband's affair. We are currently staying overnight, due to an unexplained calamity." said Bilqis.

"Alas, the most reason is also." replied the mothers curiously.

"You don't see that my friend's hand is hurt" Fatihah said.

The mothers saw the bandaged hand of Bilqis. "Oh yeah, but I still can't believe it."

"As for you, we don't need your trust." Bilqis emotion.

Fatihah and Bilqis invite Love to go buy ingredients, to make cakes. They go for a walk, to breathe fresh air. Love sees a very dirty kitten, then immediately helps him by being carried.

"Cat, why are you drinking with mud" said Love.

"We bathed him in a public toilet. It's so hot on him!" bring Fatihah.

They both bathed the cat with a happy feeling. Bilqis only saw from a distance, because he was hurting his hand. Soon, the cat was clean. Love and her friends continue on their way, heading to a big store.

"Don't forget also sugar, salt, and bread developers." Love smile.

"But sauces and soy sauce also need to be purchased, if we want to make batagor." said Bilqis.

"I'm the more sure if the meatballs burn, must have bought a lot. Depending on your sustenance, you can spend the rest." replied Love.

Coming home from the store, they saw the merchant selling his snacks. Many small children buy, until the push-push for fear of not being part. The wagon was a sweet sell, as many liked it.

"What food is that?" ask Fatihah.

"That's the cow's blood that's fermented to freezing."

"Ah not so buy, I think only ice" said Fatihah.

"Yes, using animal blood is like eating a carcass." replied Love.

"When I was a kid, I bought one. But, because I don't know. Minimal knowledge of religion." said Bilqis.

"Yes already, the important thing now is not to eat it anymore" replied Love.

"What is the name of the food?" ask Fatihah.

"It is customary to call it Saren." replied Bilqis.

Getting home, they stirred the flour together. Stifen is back, by telling Love the good news.

"I've rented a shophouse for five hundred thousand rupiah per month" Stifen said.

"It seems, we are very suitable when selling on the terrace. That way, it will distract many buyers." replied Love eagerly.
