Miss Yeti is No Ordinary PSK

The Midnight Crash

Happiness, sadness, sometimes coming back and forth. Sometimes it all comes together.

Suddenly came, without telling and without bringing an invitation.

Things we do not know, when and how it can all happen to us.

All of this is a test from God. But, from something that we take as a test, sometimes it is a blessing, which we are not aware of ourselves.

And only time, which knows very well, how best, when and how things should be.

Enough with the words patience, trust and effort. Advice, which sometimes feels like a disappointment, because we don't know, if it's a blessing that God sends for us.

..."Shophouse's on fire? how come? then what about my clothes shop?" ...

At midnight, Yati gets a call from the shopkeeper, if the row of shophouses in front of the market burns.

In fact, his clothing store, is in the row of shophouses.

Yati felt weak, hearing the news. He who had just this afternoon felt happiness, because of his father, Lord Wasito.

But now, at midnight like this, it gets sad and disappointing news.

There was a fire that happened to one of the shophouses, which was next to Yati's shop. And the fire quickly spread to Yati's shop as well.

"Anyway this?"

The confusion felt by Yati, made her pacing back and forth on her own, inside the room.

With a long sigh, Yati knocked on the door of Minah's room.

Tok tok!

Tok tok!

"Mhd... Mum!"

Yati called out to Minah, knocking on the door of her room as well.

"Yes Nduk. A minute!"

Mbok Minah replied from inside the room.

Cleks!

The door of Mbok Minah's room is open.

"Yati Mbok Store. Yati's shop is on fire."

Mbok Minah was wide-eyed, hearing the words spoken by Yati just now. He could not believe what he had just heard.

"The fire of piye Nduk?" (Fire how does that mean, son? )

Yati, holding back her grief, told her about what she had heard from the shopkeeper's phone.

"I'm tenan?" (is that true? )

Yati is confused, wants to answer yes, or not. Yati himself has not come, to confirm this news.

"Nek so, Yati go to the store first Mbok!" (then, Yati went to the store first )

Finally Yati realized, and decided to check directly, how the actual situation in the shophouse.

"Mbok mengatani Nduk. Just a minute."

Finally, Minah decides to join Yati, checking the truth about the news she heard from the shopkeeper.

Mbok Minah does not want if something happens to her grandson, at a time when his emotional state is unstable.

After traveling in the middle of a lonely night, finally Yati and Mbok Minah arrived at the shophouse.

It turns out there are a lot of people. There are also damkar cars, which are still struggling to conquer an already enlarged fire.

Yati felt weak, just like the shop owners and shophouses who were burned in the incident tonight.

All is lost, destroyed, only by the fire that burns all the shophouses.

Yati and Mbok Minah could do nothing. They resigned themselves, to the fire department, which is still trying to extinguish the fire.

Shortly after, Mr. Wasito's car arrived. He got word about this fire, from his son, Yati.

"Snake!"

"Dad!"

Yati hugged her father, to express the disappointment and sadness she felt tonight.

"Prophe Nduk. Patience yes. Eling," said Mr. Wasito, calmed his son's heart, so as not to dissolve in the sad atmosphere he felt tonight.

Yati could only nod, in her father's arms. He could not think clearly, and did not know anymore, how to deal with tomorrow, because all the money in his savings, he had used for additional capital in his shop.

"How is this?" muttered Yati, asking herself.
