My dear Siomay
Insects in the shop



"Oh,iya Kak, I saw a little boy come in when we were all busy. I forgot to throw him out for delivering the order", Ani said.


"Oh, huh?but I don't see it, if I'm too busy at the cashier maybe yes", Erna while thinking.


"Sister didn't notice any children either. But if there is indeed a child who takes maybe the money is his sustenance", I ended our conversation about less money and returned to that place when counting money. I save the money I have today and say thank you as a sign of my gratitude to God.


Today after everything was done, we went home. Not forgetting earlier, we checked the door and did not leave any valuables in the tavern. For some reason only this shop turned away, but in the side and across there is also a shop like this that is quiet at night because the owner has gone home.


Erna and I got home, we talked for a while before going to bed.


"Sister, why is the money less?", Erna still looks curious.


"Silver didn't know", once Ani imagined when he put money in his pocket. But I don't want to be prejudiced before I see for myself and have solid evidence.


"Is there really a child?".


"So I didn't feel like I saw the little boy either, but we could have been caught off guard and didn't realize it" I threw myself in my bed and pulled the blanket over.


"Continue what should we do?", Erna asked.


"Tomorrow we must be more vigilant and not to be careless, it would be better if we install CCTV" I replied.


"Good idea, we'd better install CCTV, so we know who took the money".


"Do you have a friend who can install CCTV?".


"There, later Erna called and asked him about the price, if the deal might be tomorrow he could just put it up, but Erna could not help Isna's sister tomorrow, Erna wanted to go to college", Erna while closing her eyes.


"Yes, it's okay if you go to college, there's Ani anyway. Tomorrow, just ask the guy to go straight to the store. Now we go to sleep" I asked Erna.


And we fell asleep. A busy day made us feel tired and rested quickly.


The next day.....


Today it was just me and Ani. Erna has a lecture, so today Erna is not going to the store. As we tidied up the store before selling, there were a lot of cockroaches in the kitchen. I was very surprised, because from the beginning I was selling here, not one bit we saw cockroaches. I acted immediately. I'll take the bug spray so the cockroach dies and doesn't show up here.


Someone came and said hello.


"Assalamu'alaikum!".


"Wa'alaikum greetings", I replied.


"I'm Erna's friend who wants to install CC TV".


"Oh,iya, want to be installed now, can it?",manyaku.


"By, I have brought the goods", the man took out the necessary goods. He immediately installed CCTV.


In the store there was only us. Ani asked permission to go home for a while, she said she would give her mother some medicine first and I allowed her.


After a while, the CCTV installation was completed I only installed three pieces, one outside, continued to be in the middle of the room and another one just above the cashier drawer. The CCTV I can monitor from my cell phone camera, so it makes it easy for me to monitor everything. I gave the installation wage as per the agreement, Erna had already sent a message and mentioned the price. The man left after everything was done. Ani's not here yet, I'm worried about her mother, I'm afraid something's going on.


"Your mom's okay?", I asked Ani.


"Oh, it's okay, so I all cook for a while, my mother wants to eat vegetables he said, so I cook first, I'm sorry I went too long" Ani replied.


"It's okay, the buyer is also still a little, so I can still do it myself".


The day goes on, the buyer keeps growing. Suddenly a buyer screamed.


"Cock!!", the buyer pointed at the little animal.


The others screamed and ran. I was shocked because of that scream. I've been looking around every corner for that animal, I sprayed it with insect killers until it was not seen, but now it appears again, they are seen starting to mabok because of insect medicine that is still in the air.


I feel like there are people who deliberately spread this animal here. But who?.


"Mba, it's cleaned so there's no cockroaches!so dirty this shop, I was so lazy to buy food in this place", a buyer complained.


"Yes, jorok once, we better not buy food here yuk", someone else invited the others to go.


"I'm sorry, but I sprayed it, but it turns out the cockroach appeared again", I panicked and confused.


All the buyers who saw it instantly came out and in an instant "My dear Siomay" deserted from the buyers.


"Actually where this cockroach came from, I've sprayed it many times, but the animal appears again" I spoke for myself.


"I also feel strange, why arrived many cockroaches here", Ani commented.


Kedaiku can go bankrupt if this problem is not resolved quickly. I checked around the room, it's possible that the cockroach was still hiding. I cleaned the bottom of the stove and took out all the things that were there. How shocked I was, it turned out there was plastic that when I opened the contents was a cockroach. Who purposely brought this cockroach?was it a buyer who intentionally brought this here?or could it be other merchants around here who do not want to be rivaled by our store?I'm really confused. Now I have to start all over from scratch, the clean image I'm trying to build collapsed because of this cockroach cockroach.


Until nightfall, Siomay was still full in the pot. No one came back after that. Ani and I were silent with sad faces.


"We'd better go home, I'll think of a solution to solve this at home" I'm with a gloomy face.


"Good,Sister. My mother also called from earlier, I love being home alone".


We each went home. My sorrowful face cannot be hidden. Erna felt strange when she saw me moody.


"What's up, sister?", Erna asked.


"So in the store appeared a lot of cockroaches, even though it was sprayed there again, at that time many buyers, they so run away and do not buy our siomay", I with a face full of sadness.


"Cockroaches?how could there be any?whereas when Erna and Isna from the beginning until before Erna entered college, we never found any of the animals", Erna with disbelief.


"Sir Isna also felt strange, when cleaning the goods under the stove Brother found a plastic containing cockroaches, it seems that someone deliberately brought the animal".


"Thank you who is sister?try Brother Isna look at the CCTV footage there could be a clue".


"Oh, yeah, that's right, I forgot", I immediately opened my phone and saw the CCTV footage in the store. Turns out that guy was the one who caused all this to happen, why would he do this.


"Sir, apparently he who has brought cockroaches into the store, does he want our business to go bankrupt?", Erna growled.
