Miss Yeti is No Ordinary PSK

Seeking Father

"It's nice Mbok" Yati said, pointing to a pair of sandals.

Currently they both, Yati and Mbok Minah, are in a sandal and shoe kiosk, which is in the market. Not far from the village, because the market, there is in the sub-district city.

"But it's too young for the model. Shame to wear slipper slippers. Mending the model just flops."

Yati again circulated her gaze, looking for women's sandals, which Mbok Minah wanted. That is a pair of flip-flops, but which is comfortable to wear by Minah mbok.

"It's Mbok. Nice of this," Yati said again, pointing to one of the flip-flops, which were made of leather.

"Well, it can't dry quickly, if it's hit by Nduk water."

Mbok Minah again refused an offer from Yati, because he imagined when wearing the slippers, but not comfortable, when he finished washing his feet.

"Seng iku wae" said Mbok Minah, pointing towards the flip flops, which are made of material, which are comfortable and easy to dry, if exposed to water.

According to mbok Minah, who certainly looks simple, as is generally a village woman who has aged, the sandals she chooses can be used in any situation.

Convenient to be at home, or taken away if there are events in the neighboring house.

Yati just nodded, assuring Minah's wish. He did not want to force, if what was chosen by Mbok Minah, already made him feel happy.

"Summer suwun ya Nduk, already bought new sandals. Even though at home, there are still two sandals that are rarely in use Symbok."

"It's okay, Mbok. There is time and we can walk together. When else, right?"

They both smile. The thing that Mbok Minah really wants, is to be able to live his old days, along with Yati. The foster kid he found on the side of the road, in the rice field area. Without him knowing who and where the child came from.

Mbok Minah only felt happy when she got the child. He took good care of her, in the simplicity of his own life.

But he can't force Yati, to stay at his house, in his village. Because he also knew, if there were many desires that could not be said by the teenager Yati at that time.

Until now, Mbok Minah still remains grateful, because Yati never forgets herself, and still wants to go home to see her. Although his own life in the city, it can be said to be sufficient. Although mbok Minah also knew, what Yati had actually done all this time.

"Where do you want to eat?" yati asked, as soon as the two of them walked out of the sandal and shoe store.

"How about eating gule at Kaji Sate's place? for a long time, Yati never ate there again."

Kaji satay is, the name for the owner of a food stall. Because in addition to there is a gule menu, there is also a famous satenya delicious. And because the two have gone to Hajj, the owner of the stall is better known as Kaji Sate.

"Can. Simbok also had not eaten in the stall for a long time. Since the last time you went to the market with you it was to Nduk."

Yati was shocked, hearing the answer from mbok Minah.

If you count it, it was more than seven years ago. And during that time, Mbok Minah never again went to the market itself.

For shopping, there is a vegetable maker who goes around in his village. And if it is necessary or there is a big event, mbok Minah only gives a message for her groceries, to the vegetable maker, or leave the items she needs to one of her neighbors who go to the market.

Mbok Minah is old. There are not many strange desires, just like women today.

His simple life from a long time ago, did not change, although materially, mbok Minah was very adequate, because it was financed by Yati.

But mbok Minah does not want to forget herself, and is a waste of time and money, just for something that actually does not really matter in her opinion.

He only shopped to taste, as the two also lived alone. So it does not require goods and also excessive necessities of life.

*****

His desire not to return to the city, he has expressed to Mbok Minah. And of course Minah mbok very supportive of his plan this time.

"Nek less capital, that's land from Yogs you can sell for additional Nduk."

"There's Mbok, that's enough. If less, later Yati can sell some jewelry at home."

That's how it ended up, Yati opened a clothing store. He also received purchases in bulk, almost similar to wholesale. So, the store will serve the purchase in retail or wholesale.

Yati also employs several neighbors, including her son Pak RT, who is still a student.

That RT sir's son, who will help Yati, to manage the clothing store that has just been opened.

*****

Two months later, Yati's clothing store was doing better. Sales have also increased. Of course, this made Yati feel very happy, with the effort she had for now.

But there is still one desire Yati who wants to do immediately, namely to find the whereabouts of her biological father.

By asking permission to mbok Minah, Yati pamit to go find her father. He has also left the business of the store, on his son Mr. RT.

And today, he set out on his own, to search for the whereabouts of his biological father, according to the instructions Mr. Andre had once given him, back then.

Armed with the name of the area that he knew, Yati tried to search through the application, to track the existence of an area. And it must have made it easier for him to make his way to where his father was.

After traveling for almost five hours, Yati arrived at the city she was heading to. In a small town, but already developed, for the economic development of its people.

But Yati does not know the exact address, where her father lives at the moment. Finally Yati rested for a while, in a restaurant, which was on the side of the road.

Yati ordered food, to fill her stomach so that the worms in her stomach no longer protested.

It was already noon, and the time to eat, was past. Of course, Yati felt a sense of hunger, when she stopped, and did not know the direction of her destination anymore.

After parking his car on the edge of the food stall, Yati entered the stall. He also looked through the food menu, which was clearly visible in the glass window to put the menus available in the stall.

"I ordered warm tea, Ma'am," Yati said, to the shop owner.

"Eat also not?" ask the shop owner, offer his merchandise.

"Njeh Ma'am. Pake oseng nuts just like milkfish," replied Yati, who had looked at the food menu available at the stall.

Finally, the stall owner served Yati, according to what he ordered.

After finishing his meal, Yati paid for the food that two had eaten. After that, he also asked the owner of the stall, about someone he was currently looking for. Who knows, the owner of the stall, knows or has seen the person in the photo, which he currently holds.

The picture of his father, he requested from Mr. Andre, via email message. And that photo has been a long time. So, the photo is a photo of his father when he was young.

But the owner of the stall did not know, and could not give any clues to Yati.

Finally, Yati pamit and out of the food stall. He walked towards the place where some people, who were sitting at a guard post, were in the big shophouse building.

But those people also could not give any clues, about his father Yati.

With a long sigh, Yati tried to be patient, in her quest this time. He did not want to give up, and walked back, heading to where his car was parked.

After that, Yati goes back to running her car, looking and wondering at people, for her to meet. Hoping to get a clue, which could make it easier for him, to meet with his biological father, who he is currently looking for.
