My dear Siomay
News at night



"So there are thieves who enter the store, but because they were caught running away, maybe the mother as the owner can come here and check there may be something missing or not. I'm Mr. Rt in the neighborhood around here", someone told me.


I saw the clock showing at 10 p.m.


"How's the state of the shop, sir?", I asked.


"The shop door seems to be broken".


"Oh, I'll check there later, thanks for the information".


"Yes, same".


I hang up my phone and I call Tio.


"What's wrong?", asked Tio.


"The door of the tavern was broken because it was broken into by a burglar, said Mr. Rt who had called me, the most run away after being caught".


"So far from now you want to go there?".


"Yes, send me!"


"Ok, now I'm picking you up!".


"Ok, I wait".


After our conversation was over, I immediately changed my clothes and prepared to be ready to return to the tavern.


"Where are you going?", the aunt asked.


"So Isna got a phone call, if the store was broken into a burglar".


"Astagfirullahal''adzim, can I?you keep the money there?".


"Alhamdulillah the money is not stored in the store, so the thief did not seem to get anything".


"Alhamdulillah, now must be more careful, not until we are off guard. How about another shop?".


"Isna doesn't know, so she wants to see the situation there first".


The sound of the motor stopped in front of the house. Me and Auntie looked out.


"Tio's?I thought the ojeg he...he...".


"I'm an ojeg but a private ojeg just escorts Miss Isna", Tio smiled


"Oh, of course, if you take another woman will be fired as an ojeg. Let's go. Isna go first, Bi!", I'm sitting behind the bike.


"We're leaving first, Bi!", Tio said goodbye.


"Yes, be careful on the road, don't speed!", Auntie's message.


We headed back to the store. Arriving there, we immediately checked the condition of the store. The shop door was broken, the drawer at the cashier was open and random.


"Who first learned that there was a thief here?", I chatted with Mr. Rt.


"There were two young people who saw the light from inside the shop that had turned off the lights, so they were suspicious and knocked on the door of the shop, finally the thieves ran out and immediately fled. Chased but can't be arrested, they're about 4 people".


"Where else was the thief?".


"It seems like only this place was visited", Pak Rt explained.


"Is there something missing?", Pak Rt confirmed.


"Nothing, Sir. Being reviled is nothing".


"Alhamdulillah, now we must be more careful, it could be that the thief will come again".


"Yes, sir, thank you for everything".


Our conversation is over. Tio asked someone to fix the broken door and replace it with a new one. That night we went home together, Tio drove me first to Aunt's house, and then he went home alone.

The morning air is so fresh. The sun was still ashamed to hide behind the clouds. I'm ready to steam the newly printed siomay. Lina today has no class, so she'll help me out at the store.


"His name is Ani, he's nice and nimble, I wasn't helped when yesterday a lot of people came to the store".


"Alhamdulillah, so Erna no longer worries with Sister Isna. Actually Erna pity if you see Brother working alone, Erna did not want to receive this scholarship".


"Erna, it's okay, you have a good chance not to be missed, I don't want all the sisters to be able to go to college and get a decent job. We have to change our lives to be better".


"Yes, Erna also has a mind that wants to be realized", Erna while smiling.


"What's your taste?".


"Erna wants to be a teacher".


"Aamiin, easy to mendasikan your mind was granted, Kakakak always pray'akan sister to always be healthy and given the best in everything".


That morning's conversation glued our hearts together, siblings. Do'a do'a always said at every prayer time for my beloved sister. Ridho is now working and living in rented, Edo also said he had gotten a job


while Rina mondok in the pesantren.


Me and Lina went to the store together. When I got to the store, I just arrived.


"Sir, just came too?", asked Ani.


"Yes, we took an online taxi. Uh, this is my sister, Erna, who always helped me when I was in the store, but now I'm just in college so I can't accompany me here all the time,so I'm looking for someone who can help me work here".


"Erna!", Erna shakes hands with Ani.


"Eve".


We went into the store and started working. In between our work, I told you about last night's incident. Erna and Ani are shocked. I told them to be more vigilant and not to leave valuables in the store.


Time does not feel passed so fast, the sun is already in ubun ubun. Today feels so hot, the sun feels biting when exposed to the skin. I'm delivering someone's order from the morning and want to be delivered at break time. When I returned I saw Ani put something in her pocket after one of the buyers paid for her food. I didn't care about it and I continued my activities as usual again.


"Sir, the baso carpenters were in a two-part batagor message", Erna told.


"Let me deliver" he offered.


"Ok!", I immediately agreed because I was printing siomay.


Ani delivered the busker's order. After returning, Ani put her own money given by the baso to the cashier drawer.


The more afternoons the customers kept growing and the three of us got busier. Lucky today there was Erna, we were not too overwhelmed.


"I want siomay and juice, get it!".


"Yes, get over there!", Erna came to me.


"This is all so how much?", Erna calculated the amount of money to be paid.


"All so thirty-five thousand".


The buyer gave the money mentioned.


Ani is busy wiri wara delivering orders that want to be delivered. Lucky Ani can ride a motorcycle, sometimes she borrowed a motorcycle from a store next door that she knows the owner, so she can wear it.


Today we are late in the busyness. No one is silent. Each of us works according to their respective tasks.


Malampun. Ani and Erna cleaned and cleaned the kitchen as well as the store chairs and tables, while I counted the money. When I count, I adjust the order entered, turns out the amount of money entered does not match the order. The amount of money difference with orders is much different. Did I count wrong?I count them again and the results are the same. Is it still in the drawer?I looked again and checked the drawer, but nothing. Why is the money less?does anyone take any money from payment?I imagined Ani who had put money in her pocket and not put it in the cashier's drawer. Immediately I asked him, afraid he forgot. I had to be afraid of mispronouncing and insulting him.


"Ani, I'm sorry if there's still money paid by the customer earlier, don't you forget to save?", I asked Ani.


"It reached into his pocket and said, "nothing, I've kept everything in the drawer", while pulling his pocket cloth from the inside out until it was seen.


And it seems empty.


"You how's Erna?any money I forgot to save?", I asked Erna.


"Sama, Erna has also kept everything in the drawer, why, sister?", Erna was curious.


"The money coming in with the order is much different, so afraid someone forgot to store in the drawer".


"Kok, can it be much different?", Erna felt strange.


Erna question I did not answer because I was thinking hard.Not usually the money calculated can be different like this, yesterday everything is fine, before there is Ani, is Ani....?
