My dear Siomay

Together we face

"That's not what I mean", Tio straightened out.

"So what's dong?".

"Later to go to the store so you don't misunderstand me", Tio sounded lethargic.

"Yes already!", Rio ended our conversation.

I really don't focus because I think a lot. I also keep my phone in a doldrums.

"Who, Brother?", Erna asked.

"Tio", I answered while sitting on a chair.

"I've uploaded the video on the internet as well as on my social media, we just wait for people to comment", Erna looked at her phone screen seriously.

Rendi was still in the store. He looked around the room. He seemed to be paying attention to what was lacking and should be added. Maybe he's thinking about how to get a buyer. I tried to get excited, but still I couldn't hide my worries. In order for my brain not to feel exhausted to keep thinking about the future of the store, I decided to take siomay and eat it. Not to forget I also prepared for Erna and Rendi.

"Let's eat first!", I invited Erna and Rendi to sit with me.

"Today we will not sell, tomorrow we start again", I stick a fork into siomay and I enjoy the food I make myself. Mackerel that smells good on my nose and tastes good on my tongue, coupled with spicy sweet nut seasoning makes this siomay so delicious. Unfortunately not many people are aware of this siomay pleasure.

"Mmm siomaynya very tasty", Reni admitted the delicacy of siomay that she ate, he greedily spent until the last drop of peanut seasoning.

"Unbelievably, the first time I felt siomay that was so different from other siomay, can add more he...he.?".?", Rendi smiled shyly.

"Come, but pay ya", Erna with bulging eyes.

"Oh,ten..of course!",Rendi with a brick.

"Erna's just joking, you can add more free", I told Rendi with a smile.

"Oh, thank you!", Rendi was still embarrassed.

After the Siomay trial, Hendi was like a starving person, he ate siomay in minutes, very quickly.

"Eating slowly, you're like eating a siomay, eating it fast!", after saying that, you've got an idea in my mind.

"If you're having a siomay eating contest, how are you?", I murmured inwardly.

Rendi immediately drank the water in front of her and said, "How about we hold a siomay eating competition?", Brandi said that with sparkling eyes as if finding a treasure. I didn't think we could have the same idea. Means from the beginning he was determined capital and had no ideas at all, but he had the courage also to challenge himself.

"Let me bear the cost for the gift and Mba Isna modal siomaynya ha..ha.", Rendi laughed loosely, but at once the laughter stopped when she saw Erna with her eyes. Rendi was like frightened, she was speechless while gulping. I can't believe Erna can do anything like that. I immediately melt the atmosphere.

"Your father is good, we can try!but I want you to take care of everything. I will just look and judge. If the event is a success then you are entitled to be my employee in this tavern".

"I will make plans for our activities later, for the schedule and everything tomorrow I will tell you", Brandy excitedly. Suddenly, Rendi's phone rang, she immediately picked it up and it seemed like she was asked to go home immediately by her mother.

"Sorry Mba, I have to go home soon. My mother wants to be escorted to the hospital to see my uncle, can you?", the rendition is like a rush.

"Oh, yeah, you go home, it's okay", I let her go home.

"Thank you for the siomaynya, I go home first", Rendi while nodding and leaving.

"It's the same" I replied.

"You can't behave like that to Rendi" I advised Erna.

"Yes, Jack, Erna knows but Erna doesn't like that guy".

"Heart, initially hate later so miss", I teased Erna.

"Ah, there's no way!", Erna as she bergidig.

We both laughed. Our laughing voice broke the silence in the quiet shop of the buyer. The place that I made the focus of life, is not okay now. We see if Rendi can prove herself to be an employee here?hopefully what we plan to make the store again crowded succeed.

From the outside arrived Tio entered the shop with a shabby face.

"Tio, you look lethargic, are you okay?", I'm worried about Tio who looks less excited. I quickly get some warm water and I keep it on the table.

"Drink first!", I give Tio some warm water to make it better. After drinking, Tio started telling stories.

"I'm broke, now I have nothing", Tio in a sad tone.

"What's up, sister?", Erna was curious.

"Yesterday is the due payment of my company's debt to the bank, and it turns out we can not pay it off according to the specified time, as specified,finally the bank will take all the assets I have including the house as well as the car and savings for my marriage and yours Isna,"Tio could not hide his sadness.

"Now that I am an unemployed man who has nothing, can you still accept me under these circumstances?", Tio wanted to ensure my loyalty to him.

I was confused as to what to say, but I'm going to reveal what I feel right now, I firmly said, "Let's face this together, all together,if we face it together together it will definitely feel lighter, and you don't have to worry, I will always be by your side and support you no matter what your circumstances, the treasure can still be sought as long as we want to try".

I do things like Tio did to me. He was always by my side when I was alone and never left and doubted me in the least. Now it's my turn to avenge what he did to me.

"But now I have nothing, then what about our future?", Tio is still worried about our future.

"The answer is God who is always there no matter what our circumstances are and will not leave us alone. God will always be there for His servant who always asks and asks for His help, be sure to Allah", I finally found the key words for each of my problems and Tio has helped open my eyes. The key word is 'God', no other word. All the efforts we make will not be possible without His permission, and there will certainly be lessons we can take from each event that has occurred.

"Sister Isna was right, now Brother Tio is not

worried, we will always support whatever the circumstances of Brother", Erna back up.

Tio glazed over as if to cry. But he seemed to be holding it. Just this time I saw him like this, falling down like he couldn't wiggle.

"Now let everything go so that you feel free, take a break and look for fresh air. Calm your mind and if you are ready we start again from the beginning", I calm Tio so as not to be too sad.

In my spirit take a plate of warm siomay for him. Hopefully after eating his favorite food, he will get excited again.

"This is your favorite siomay, eat it!", I take a spoon and I refill the glass with warm water.

"Thank,Isna. At a time like this I would need your support. I was so sad when I found out what I had

raib is without a remnant and I'm sure this has something to do with my father", Tio still looks sad.

"Yes, the same, now you don't have to think about this anymore. Eat this siomay so you can get excited again", I smiled.

Tomorrow will be a day full of hard work. Me and Tio were facing difficulties at the same time. What will tomorrow be like?
