Me, You, And the Journey of Life

Go To Cantika Shop

"no need. I don't want to know anyone else's problem!" Anindi decides to leave Rendra. Serving that man would be a waste of time.

Rendra himself was not too enthusiastic about it either. He took the elevator again to go up to the eighth floor. "Why did I go down, anyway?" Rendra's upset.

While in the elevator, Rendra smiled to herself given the interaction of many things with Anindi. The woman was no longer awkward or uncomfortable with him. "I accidentally helped her, but she was sweet too." Rendra massaged his forehead, recalling some of the work that had to be completed, including the unfinished story. "My head hurts when I remember that story."

Cantika entered the morning shift, he had served many customers who came to the minimarket. According to the message Anindi sent, her friend would come by the store. Of course Cantika is very enthusiastic. He works with a married female partner. Nisa, name.

"Sir, my friend will come here later" Cantika said on the sidelines of their busy lives. Cantika himself is calculating the turnover by half today.

Nisa who was five years older than Cantika and Anindi immediately turned to the right side. His hands were playing on the computer keyboard. "Anindi, huh? That sweet girl who owns the flower shop?"

Naturally, Nisa knew about Anindi because Anindi often came to buy small food.

"Yes, Ma'am. He said he wanted to bring rujak. We'll eat together later." Cantika returned to focus on the computer screen. "I told him to buy rujak because he felt more dizzy today. Is it because of the end of the month, huh, Ma'am?"

Nisa chuckles amusedly, this Cantika sentence looks funny. "In the beginning of the month, is your head not dizzy?" Nisa shook her head quickly. "There's just nothing."

Cantika laughed a little, happy to be in the middle of a family environment like this. In addition to having a partner who supports each other, Cantika also feels more appreciated here. "Yes, sometimes dizzy too, anyway, ma'am if the money runs out."

Nisa's laughter grew louder and louder. Fortunately, no customers came, the clock was quiet. "The money's only nominal, Dek. But, that is also much needed."

"Then, conclusion?" Cantika gave another glance towards Nisa. "Would that money be needed or not?"

Nisa was silent for a moment, then said again, "Of course it takes. We do everything with money. Buy food, drink, clothes, alms, go on Hajj, everything really needs money. We can not deny it, but do not let this profession make us look for money in an illegal way. Just because everything needs money, we turn a blind eye to the lawful."

Cantika was always happy with the advice given by Nisa, at least she could be closer to Him. "Yes, Ma'am, God willing I understand that."

Nisa finished with a new price receipt that will be attached to the shelf. Promo prices are certainly very tempting for buyers. Every month, there are always many promos in this minimarket. "Oh, yeah, Can. I may not be able to come in tomorrow. My son wants to take a rapot, you work alone no problem, huh?"

Cantika's ignorant idea came, this one nature is indeed difficult to eliminate. With a sad face, the woman replied. "I'm so sad, Ma'am. Though tomorrow it must quickly deposit accumulated monthly turnover."

Nisa stunned. Just realized. "Surely so, but later my son cried if his mother did not come. Astagfirullah, my head is dizzy."

Cantika held back a laugh, lest her acting get caught. "Well, we should have eaten this afternoon. Equally dizzy." Keep holding back from laughing.

Seeing the sadness on Nisa's face, Cantika felt guilty. Though his intention was only joking, apparently this was quite serious for Nisa. "I'm kidding, Ma'am." Nisa patted Nisa's right shoulder with a slight smile. "If you want to take a holiday, take a holiday. I can do it myself, after all, Ma'am rarely has a day off if it's not important."

Nisa stunned. There is no reaction whatsoever because it is dizzy with the school fees of the child who until now has not fully paid off. "Related?"

Cantika was silent for a moment. Now embrace Nisa. "Sir, sorry, yes, I was kidding." Feeling guilty for making Nisa confused. "Sir, don't be sad, yeah."

Nisa just got it. "Alhamdulillah, I can come to my son's school. He just kept talking yesterday."

Cantika let go of her embrace. Smile sweetly at Nisa. "He needs his mother, Ma'am. I'm the same, actually." Cantika smiled faintly.

Before Nisa answered, someone came. Apparently it was Anindi. As expected from the start, Anindi actually came up with a fruit ramjak. "Assalamualaik." Anindi entered with a greeting.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Nisa and Cantika answered simultaneously.

Anindi came in with a small smile. "Sorry, yes, I came late. The Dzuhur prayer was on the road." The hijab-wearing woman was carrying a bag of black crackle that was certainly filled with fruit with her friends.

"I'm hungry, you know." Cantika is still ignorant.

Nisa smiled a little. "You still want jahilin people?" The tail of Nisa's right eye glanced at Cantika as if giving a gesture. "Don't be like that, your friend will run away."

Cantika responded calmly. "Astagfirullah, Ma'am, I'm caught off guard." A small laugh came out of Cantika's mouth.

Anindi moved towards the cashier's desk. Giving orders Cantika and briefly towards the refrigerator filled with drinks to buy first thirst relief. The scorching sun during the day was truly incredible, Anindi felt extremely thirsty.

"Which one should I choose, huh?" Anindi confuses herself after opening one of the beverage's refrigeration spots. There are many brands of drinks that offer a variety of flavors and freshness. The price also varies, from the cheapest to the most expensive. For packaging is also diverse, from small, medium and large sizes. Anindi just decided.

Anindi was still silent by holding the refrigerator door, everything was interesting. However, it is also impossible for Anindi to buy her husband, it can be used up in the wallet. "I think drinking cold coffee is better." Anindi's right hand extended forward with the sound of the glass door opening and also the greeting from Nisa and Cantika. The word 'good day and welcome' is no stranger to everyone who comes to this place. Employee friendliness is very decisive for customer assessment. Therefore, Anindi quite salute Cantika who every time greet customers with a very friendly. It can make your customers feel comfortable and happy.

Cold coffee is already in hand, of course Anindi has to close the refrigerator. However, the woman fell silent as a faintly recognized voice sounded. This is impossible! Anindi quickly closed the refrigerator slowly. Reversing, about to peek at the person who just spoke. Perhaps Anindi misheard because she was thirsty.

Anindi walked towards the front shelf, staying there. Peering at the cashier and seeing the same thing as expected. "Astagfirullah, that's right. My ears rarely catch someone wrong. I'd better stay quiet until he's gone."

Just now Anindi said so, it was unexpected that the person in question actually turned around and walked towards the shelf ranks that led to him. Anindi is like a fugitive who is hiding, even though meeting is not a problem. Just lazy.
