Nina stared intently at the building of the store that was now officially hers.
Some time ago Nina was busy getting to know the sales at Mursih Hajj shop as the new owner of the store. Nina was also told where the shopping center was if the stock of goods was scarce.
Nina is grateful that Haji Mursih is not a stingy person. Even Nani also chose not to change the name of the store because the store was not named Haji Mursih or his family.
Haji Mursih's grocery store is called Barokah Store, so Nina chose to leave it alone, only the name of the owner changed.
Haji Mursih came to see the last time his shop.
"Hopefully the sustenance of Mbak Nina is getting more Barokah like this store yes," said Haji Mursih who wiped tears at the corner of his eyes.
However, he has run this Shop for decades, can even send his children to success in their respective fields.
"I am grateful that Mr. Haji would give this store to me, thank you very much Mr. Haji," replied Nina Haru.
Haji Mursih then said goodbye to Nina and her Toko employees who still will work for Nina.
Not to forget he also said goodbye to traders in the market.
After the departure of Haji Mursih, Nina immediately struggled with her work. Sitting at the cashier's desk he learned how to record the stock of goods and the price of goods.
He was assisted by Lastri, a confidant of Haji Mursih. Lastri was very happy to work with Nina.
When he was busy taking notes, he was visited by the owner of the Furniture Store which was five stores from him.
"Assalamualaikum" he said with a smile.
Nina answered her greeting while looking up, looking at the dashing man in front of her.
The man of medium stature with the flat yellow skin was approaching his desk.
"Can I help you?" greet Nina politely.
"Ah mbak mbak, want to be acquainted with the owner of this store," he said.
Lastri chose to go help other employees to serve customers.
Nina's store was immediately busy because it was the store when the hand shift was not closed.
"Include me Budi Mbak, the owner of the next furniture store," he introduced himself while reaching out to Nina.
"Oh yes, I am Nina Sir," replied Nina reluctantly.
"Don't call sir, just call Budi mas," Pinta Budi.
Nina looked at the sweet man in front of her. Until Lastri's reluctance made him aware.
"This is the Notes" Lastri interrupted, handing over a customer spending note that Nina had to count.
"Oh sorry Mas Budi please sit down first, I serve customers first," he said then rushed to calculate the customer's groceries.
The customers always ask who Nina is and answered by Nina that she is the new owner.
Most of them said that they were old customers and asked Nina to still be able to give them THR later.
Nina replied with a smile, of course Nina already knew that, because Haji Mursih had said it.
Even the selling price is cut for Haji Mursih to give THR to its customers later. A man who never breaks a promise. Nina was happy to be able to buy a shop from the man who always kept his promise.
Budi's existence was even forgotten by Nina who had to serve customers who were not stopped.
"Mbak Nina seems to be busy, later we will talk again yes," he said.
Nina did not feel guilty, because there was no way she ignored the customers just for the sake of talking with Budi.
After the shop was a little relaxed, Nina also returned to talk with Lastri.
"Well, what do kids usually eat?" asked Nina who knew it was approaching lunch time.
"They are all ma'am, the important thing is that the dishes are changing, yes" explained Lastri with a laugh.
"You are, you used to buy them food, right? Here's the money," Nina said, handing over three hundred thousand bills, for ten of her employees' meals.
"Ready ma'am, I'm leaving right now huh, mommy's gonna take a seat too?" lastri.
"Get Las, I want to eat ketoprak aja," refused Nina.
Nina also asks Lastri to bring a friend to help her.
Fortunately there was a motorbike and three-wheeled vehicles belonging to Haji Mursih sir who handed over to him. The two items were still not paid off, Nina's total debt was about one hundred millions more and she promised that within one year she would pay it.
Haji Mursih did not mind the money, as long as Nina promised to trade honestly, that was the only message.
He still has savings, so after the trade later he will go to the motorbike dealer to buy a motorbike.
Today he chose to close early because he had to find a bike, had time to think of buying a used bike, but because he was only alone, he was afraid that his bike would often have problems and he did not understand how to fix it, therefore prefer to buy new.
Haji Mursih used to close his shop at five in the afternoon, but today Nina chose to close at three.
"What's the matter, ma'am closing this clock?" ask Pastri confused.
"With Papa Las, I want to look around at the motorbike deer," explained Nina.
"Oah. Okay, Mom. Lastri pamit yes," Lastri left Nina for the market parking lot.
The market is quiet, if the shop in front like him is mostly closed at five in the afternoon, while on the inside it is usually closed from two in the afternoon.
Nina's steps stopped when there was a man who suddenly blocked her.
"Why is your grandfather here?" sapa Yanto is looking for attention.
Nina was clucking, eager for her to leave this shitty man as soon as possible.
"Sorry, I want to go home!" elak Nina is reluctant to explain why she is in the market.
To be honest, he has not told his father about his efforts. Only Rima and Bu Wingsih's family knew about his efforts.
If he tells Yanto it's been made sure his stepfamily will mess up.
"The anter yes," bargained Yanto forcibly.
"Do not thank me!" refuse Nina trying to avoid Yanto.
But Yanto, who did not want to lose the golden opportunity to approach Nina, still wanted to force her by blocking Nina's hand.
"What the fuck! Not off!" pekik Nina growled.
"Come on Deck, I just want to be close to Dek Nina. What if we digesaso, yes, yuk!" Yanto was about to drag Nina to his motorbike parked in the barrel of the motorcycle taxi drivers.
"Let go! I don't want to!" Nina hits Yanto's arm forcing her.
Suddenly someone stopped the second step.
"Please mas! He refused, don't make it!" sergeant Budi.
Nina breathed a sigh of relief because someone saved her.
The road is still crowded, but no one cares about the behavior of the two. Maybe people think Nina and Yanto are a couple who are fighting.
"Mas Budi don't interfere!" jakak Yanto was upset that there were people interfering in his affairs.
"You want someone to report to your wife?" threaten Budi's.
I know who Yanto is and his family. Yanto who got a threat from Budi jerked violently Nina's hand.
"Let's talk again, Dek" he said without shame.
"Aren't you papa?" ask me gently.
Nina was misbehaving Budi's attention. "Thank you Mas Budi, if there is no mas Budi do not know how I am," said Nina.
"That's our duty as neighbors, help each other, where are Nina going? How's the shop closed?" ask Budi curious.
"Oh this is mas, I want to go to the motorbike deer, want to find a motorbike," replied Nina honestly.
You seem to think before you speak, "want me to take you?" bargained for.
"Well! Don't be afraid of being troublesome" refused Nina.
"That's troublesome at all. Wait here I say goodbye to my employees first," Budi then left Nina passed to the store.
Yanto who saw the closeness of Budi and his target widow felt furious.
"Awas you Bud! Nina won't let you go" he murmured.
