..."The days change, the months change. But the heart is still the same as in the beginning....
It didn't feel like the time Jihan had spent was long enough. And the time he used to admire the shadow was long enough.
The shop is back to normal. Ms. Kiran has started a routine to come to the store. Only once in a week sometimes Miss Kiran does not come because she has to deliver her mother-in-law check-up.
Now in-laws Bu Kiran has also been living in her house, because there is no longer a guard in her place. In addition, so that there is no need to go back and forth out of the city .
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
This morning with the spirit of Jihan opened the store and did not forget to start with Basmalah. And do not forget also to pray and pray to the Divine who is a rezeky giver.
The atmosphere this morning is still calm because there are no buyers, all the shopkeepers are still busy to organize their merchandise. Only that mas shop that sometimes comes later than the merchant in his other stores .
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
"Is there a new hijab ?? "ask the buyer
"There's Ma'am, let's just go inside. You can choose according to your taste, "Jihan replied with a very sincere smile.
Ibu Sinta is a subscription in the hijab figure. Every Sunday, Miss Sinta always shop at the store where Jihan works.
" All kinds of Hijab are so beautiful.But among all these beautiful Hijabs. Of course you are the most beautiful. " said Ms. Sinta teasing Jihan.
"Hm. I'm just around the corner, "Jihan replied with a smile.
"Do you want to be a daughter-in-law ? "Bu Sinta said with a smile, but from the look of her face looked serious.
Jihan who heard the words of Ms. Sinta coughed.
"Why Bu Sinta joked so much anyway 🙄. "Into Jihan.
"Mommy's kidding, Jihan. Do not enter the heart well . "said Bu Sinta smiling.
Jihan only greeted him with a smile, and did not want to extend it.
Because it is common for Jihan in the goda of her consumer mothers. And all the same, want Jihan to be her daughter-in-law. 😂😂
Ms. Sinta has chosen several types of Hijab that she likes. In this Bu Kiran store all types of hijab are sold, ranging from standard prices to quite expensive prices.
Not only is Bu Sinta a fantastic subscription at that store, but Bu Sinta is included in one of the customers who shop unmitigated.
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
"How much is the total Nak Jihan ? "asked Ms. Sinta.
"All her total is 700 thousand mothers. Are there any more additions, ma'am ? "Jihan continued to ask.
"For the time being, I mean additional mother yah you become mother-in-law "said Bu Sinta again with a small laugh.
"Mother is just around . "said Jihan scratching her head that is not itchy.
Ms. Sinta smiled again, then gave her some money.
"Alright, mom go first. Next week my mother came again, "said Ms. Sinta.
"Thank you mom. "continue Jihan while driving Ms. Sinta to get out of the store.
Today Miss Kiran came late to the store.
From the look on his face it seems like Bu Kiran is very tired or maybe Bu Kiran is not healthy.
"Mother has already come" Jihan said as she picked up the item located near the shop door.
"Yes, I think right now I'm going to faint, Jihan" said Ms. Kiran
"What's the mother ? Is mom sick ? "asked Jihan with an anxious face.
"No, mom's fine. It's just that at this time the mother is having problems that interfere with her mind. "Jawab Bu Kiran's
"Whatever the problem is, the mother must still maintain the health of the mother. Can't think too much about it. "Jihan said as he gave a glass of warm tea to Ms. Kiran.
"Dad Jihan. Thanks though. "Jawab Bu Kiran with a smile.
\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*
The activity in the store is now starting to return as usual. There's Miss Kiran, and Jihan doesn't come home too often. Because Ms. Kiran didn't let Jihan come home at a later hour than she should. For Ms. Kiran, when the working hours are up. Then the work that has not been completed can be delayed and continued tomorrow.
Ms. Kiran was looking at Jihan sitting in the front seat of the store, and her mother Kiran did not understand why Jihan was always staring at the opposite store.
Because Ms. Kiran was curious, she sat down next to Jihan without Jihan's knowledge. Maybe because Jihan was too focused on looking there, so did not know that her boss was sitting next to her.
Ms. Kiran followed Jihan's eyes and met a person in the mirror. Ms. Kiran is confused as to what Jihan actually saw.
"Jihan, what are you looking at ? "asked Miss Kiran.
"I was admiring the reflection in the mirror . "Jihan's answer was unconscious because he was focusing on looking at the shadow
Then Jihan turned around and saw that Bu Kiran was nearby. Ms. Kiran who heard the answer showed a confused face and demanded an explanation .
Jihan just laughed looking at the confused face of Bu Kiran.
"You should be in charge, Jihan. "Said Bu Kiran.
"Well, what responsibility is ma'am ? "Jihan's answer was astonished.
"You have to take responsibility for making me wonder. "Subsequently, Ms. Kiran.
"What do you want to ask a lot ? "Say Jihan.
"So you said you were looking at the reflection in the mirror. Who do you mean you saw there ? "said Bu Kiran pointing at the Mirror in the shop there .
Jihan just smiled, confused about what to answer to Bu Kiran.
"Mom, Jihan can't hide anything from mom" said Jihan with a bent face.
"Tell me son, I am your mother here. Think of this mother as your best friend" said Ms. Kiran with a warm smile.
"Mom, is it appropriate that Jihan likes someone who Jihan thinks is perfect ? Jihan hasn't known Mom since when that liking existed. Even Jihan only saw him from that shadow. Without seeing her real face alone and just from the shadow Jihan had already fallen in love . "Jihan said with a sad face.
Bu Kiran understood the direction of Jihan's conversation, and understood who she admired at the moment.
"Then, what if you fall in love, son ? "asked Ma Jihan.
"Mom, Jihan feels that she is currently in love with someone far above Jihan. I know that Jihan is just a simple person. And he may be an established man ma'am. I don't know what, Jihan often cross paths with him when he wants to go to mushollah Mom. One thing that makes Jihan admire him is because of his love and devotion to God. " Said Jihan lowered her head.
"It's not wrong Jihan, when you love someone. Moreover, he is a man who is diligent in worship. The problem is the established person or the person who is. Did not God create tribes and nations for us to know one another. ?
"Listen son, treasure does not guarantee happiness. And not always the rich always match with the rich.
"When Allah has written your name and his name in Lahul Mahfudz. So as far as anything and in any part of the world he is. Believe that he will come to you in any way" said Ms. Kiran as she stroked Jihan's shoulder.
Jihan smiled at the words of Miss Kiran.
"Remember, son, don't be too humble. "If you admire him, complain to the Khaliq. Just bring him in your prayers. "More Ms Kiran .
"Dad Ma'am. Thank you for making Jihan understand. "Say Jihan smiled.
"No problem, Jihan. The store is now closed. Let's go home . " Said Bu Kiran rising from the chair.
"But Ma still has work to do. What if Jihan's working on this in a minute. "Say Jihan.
"No Jihan, work can continue tomorrow only. Now we go home. I will take you, and I would love to eat ketoprak at Pak Ujang's stall "said Bu Kiran.
"Alright Ma. "Jihan continued while taking his bag and immediately pulled the shop door and closed it.
Jihan and Bu Kiran walked together, while in front of the gold shop. Jihan did not forget to look .
But as Jihan looked, the direction of the man's gaze also looked at Jihan with a confused face. Their eyes met. However, just for a moment. Because Miss Kiran has already pulled Jihan's hand.
**
Before returning home, Ms. Kiran invites Jihan to eat ketoprak at her grocery store since the beginning of Bu Kiran to do her business.
They are very familiar, like friends. Only their ages are so different. But Ms. Kiran never regarded Jihan as a worthy subordinate to her boss and subordinates.
Ms. Kiran always treated Jihan very well. Like his own son and like a friend to him.
