My dear Siomay

Alms bring blessings

The race this time was very lively. Champions 1-3 are up. They are entitled to get a prize that is highly desired by all participants.

"We call champions 1 to 3 to go forward because they will be given a symbolic gift", sweat is seen pouring out on Randi's forehead. The winners also came forward with a condition of satiety, which had to be broken by his family.

The gift was symbolically given by a jury, including me as the owner of the shop.

"Give applause to all the winners as well as participants who have participated in this event", Rendi's applause was followed by the applause of the people present at the event.

The winners are so happy to get the prize. They immediately capture the moment by taking pictures with their families. The event ended by taking pictures with all participants who participated in the race eating siomay.

"Thank you again to all of us. Siomayku dear is the right place for you to eat good food, Siomay with its variants also batagor will certainly arouse your taste and make you want to come back here. Do not worry Siomay and batagor in our place are made with quality materials and hygienic. Accompanied by siomay also good batagor in a comfortable place, why comfortable?because our store is clean and always be aware of its cleanliness. Don't forget to come back here!", said the word Rendi into the closing of our event. He put an ad in the last sentence. Very good and I like it.

Unexpectedly this event was covered by various media. Hopefully it can make my dear Siomay shop can be filled with buyers again.

After the event was over, everyone broke up and went home to each other, there was trash garbage as well as the state of the shop that was not because, but we who still felt the euporia of happiness because we had successfully held the event,didn't think about it. I, Erna, Ridho and Edo immediately clean up the garbage, not to miss Tio and Mas Zein to tidy up and clean up the shop. After everything was done and neat, we immediately rested while talking about the event that had taken place.

"Thank God everything is smooth, after this we see the development in the future, whether they will come back here or not" I told the others.

"Thank you to Rendi who has borne the prize and played a big role in organizing this event, and therefore you have the right to be my employee, congratulations!",a standing ovation echoed between us.

"Also for all of you, thank you for attending and helping with this event, without your presence I do not know what will happen, so thank you very much again, thank you!", I nod my head.

"Samely, the aunt also felt happy this event has been done well, hopefully in the future my dear siomay shop becomes better again", said Bibi full of do'a and we all guaranteed.

Suddenly arrived a grandfather with a simple appearance with a face that was already full of wrinkles was seen approaching the tavern. He then went in and asked, "is there still siomaynya?", with a smile the man asked. The man was about 60 years old and more was standing at his feet. Immediately I let you in and sat on the chair.

"Can enter, Grandpa. Please sit!".

"You want to order how many servings, Grandma?want to be eaten in place or wrapped?", I asked.

"just one serving, eat here" replied the grandfather.

I immediately asked Erna about the availability of siomay.

"Is there still siomay in the pot?", I whispered.

"There's one more serving" Erna replied.

"Yes we have given this grandfather as alms!", while I close my mouth to Erna's ear in a very slow voice.

"Ok!", Erna immediately prepared a plate and put siomay and gave him peanut seasoning. When I'm ready, I'll serve it and I'll keep it at Grandpa's desk.

"Please eat, Grandpa!", so I nod my head.

"Yes, thank you!", the grandfather replied with a smile.

After I finished with my grandfather, I continued talking with the others. Erna had prepared the siomay that I deliberately left for us. I don't want people eating siomay, whereas my family doesn't, so I deliberately set aside some for us to enjoy.

"Now as my gratitude to all of you, I have prepared a special siomay for us, let's eat this siomay!", I take a plate of siomay that has been served complete with peanut sauce.

Others followed. We enjoyed the siomay I made with my own hands. It's rare that we get together like this and I'm so happy to see this atmosphere.

The old man finished eating Siomay. I saw him coming towards me. By giving money grandfather was grateful, but I refused because I really want to give the siomay for free.

"No need, Grandpa, it was deliberately given to grandfather".

"Then I say thank you!", said the grandfather.

"The same, Grandpa. If you want siomay can come back here again!".

We came home happy. I'm glad today everything went well. I hope tomorrow will be better. My prayers today.

Morning comes.

My trip to the store was more fun and excited me. Erna and the others returned to their main activities, so today there will only be me, Tio and Rendi. Tio and Rendi are now my employees. Tio who arrived broke asked me for a job before he got a decent job. Our marriage will either be postponed or not.

When I arrived at the store, I was the only one who had just arrived. From the outside came my grandfather who I gave a serving of siomay yesterday. He came in and said hello, "Assalamu'alaikum!", with a smile he entered my shop.

"Wa'alaikum hail!", I replied.

"Can we sit here for a while, Son!", the grandfather sat in the chair.

"Yes, Grandpa. What was?want to order siomay?", I asked in curiosity.

"Yes" replied the grandfather.

"But Kek, I have not prepared the siomaynya, can grandfather wait a while, I will warm siomay first", I immediately stood up.

"But this is not for today, I ordered siomay for tomorrow", refute grandfather.

Hearing that, he sat back down.

"How many servings, Grandma?for what time and sent to where?", how can I have tubers.

"I'd like to order 500 servings of siomay for my home show. Please send at 2pm. Here's the address", the grandfather with the money and paper with the address.

I was silent for a while, not believing what was happening.

"Son, here's the money and my home address!", the grandfather said again.

"Oh, i.iya Kek!", I realized.

"Don't forget tomorrow at 2!", the grandfather smiled as he stepped out.

"I.yes, Grandpa. Thank you very much for the order and the payment, God I will send it on time", while I take the grandfather out.

He went in a black car. I don't think a simple appearance can be deceiving.I think he's a poor grandfather who has nothing, apparently it's all wrong. The black car left and passed.

I went back into the store and sat down on the chair and looked at the address written on the paper. This address is located in elite housing if not wrong. After seeing the address and the money lying on the table I say thank you, thank God for the sustenance that has been given.

Tio and Rendi came. They walked into the tavern and were strange when they saw the money lying on the table.

"In the morning there is money, where do you get this much money?", Tio looked at the money up close.

"It's money or toys?", Rendi commented.

"This is the money I made keeping the candles last night, you want?we split the three of us?", I casually.

"Well, serious MBA dong?if that's the result I don't want?", Rendi shook her head.

"Ah, don't you joke!", Tio was curious.

"If you don't want to, it's all for me" I grinned.

In my heart I laughed. They were so serious about what I was talking about.
