As long as life is still in the body, even life is still under the sky, however money can minimize misery, it can also change everything. This was evident in the life of Puspa and his two children. No rain no wind, now the right side of their house on the ground map approximately 5x10.
Now it looks finished a semi-outdoor building for them to be able to freely dry clothes. Same with the support tools.
Actually Puspa really wanted to buy a machine that 1 tube with a load of 18kg, but the price is 10 jt. Other needs have not been purchased. So, Puspa decided to buy a 2-tube washing machine with a capacity of 10 kg only, but directly 2 units. With the hope that later it will be able to accommodate 20 kg of laundry. And if he buys it, the money is still left 2jt, very enough to buy other equipment such as irons. And the rest of the money he saved, because sure in the next month their electricity payments would swell.
A new day, Monday arrived. Puspa has not been able to leave his habit of waking up at 3am to make his cake, because it is always used up if brought by Andini and Nandang to their school. In addition, his two children never frowned in terms of the cake. Their faces were always beaming when Puspa hooked the tray on his son's bike handle when he left school, and always came home with a face of sumringah when handing over the money.
When all the homework was completed at 9 am, Puspa also drove his motorbike to the place of Onel's mother.
For what else if not, to start his new job. Fifteen minutes is the time that Puspa spent to get to the place, by asking for God's protection, Puspa believes this is the way that God is pleased for him to improve the standard of living of his family.
Puspa did not come empty handed. He brought a scale and a list of his kilo laundry tariff. Last night Andini and Nandang had helped him make a summary of the price. Because they start this business with debt, it is necessary for them to get a shadow of the certainty of their income. Then all those services they make everything at least 3Kg. In their conclusion, at least customers will be able to enter 3kg of these clothes which means at least they can get 20 thousand dollars for folding dry cleaning services. And tariff setikan will wear 10 thousand/kgnya.
“Assalamualaikum, mom.” Salam Puspa on Onel who has perched in front of his terrace seems to have been waiting for the arrival of Puspa.
“Hm. How ready to fight today?”
“Insyaallah.” Puspa replied with a sweet smile on Onel.
“What do you bring?”
“Weighing mami.”
“What did you bring here. You can do it in your own home.”
“We bought two, mi. One special here, so that mami can also see the kilo.”
“Hah. My business or the customer is not my business.”
“Sorry mi, I just want to build a sense of trust.”
“Ya is up to you. These are the clothes they've been delivering.”
Puspa's vision was messy, his pupils were ham[ir jumping, seeing there were 20 bags of crackles not far from Onel's feet.
“This... all the laundry mi?”
“Iya... why?”
“Alhamdulilah much also yes mi, but... how do I bring everything?”
“Ha.haa. Karmaaan!!!” Call him in his special voice.
“Every lady mamih..” Karman always respond with this tambuin woman call.
“You are looking for a basket or anything that your mother Nandang can use to transport this dirty laundry.”
“This is where you can start weighing and naming each plastic so that later their clothes are not exchanged.” Onel spoke kindly.
“Iya, good mami.”
“I call you like Nandang yes...mommy.”
“By hearing it, mami.” Answer Puspa.
“Oh yes, Mi. Here's our Laundry kilo price list. Mungin is not wrong if this is in temple also here to be known equally.”
“OK. Oh yes, there were 5 houses left the key. While waiting for Karman, do you want to clean up some? 1 50 thousand houses, washing dishes, sweeping, mopping and tidying everything. How?” Onel's rose on the Puspa he saw was almost finished weighing 10 packs of dirty clothes earlier.
“Oh... can you? But is it okay why do I clean up when the person is not around? I fear it will be a slander if there is a lost item or how?”
“Ya .. why also you steal or move items that are not yours. Suppose there is something dirty around the item, you can move it temporarily and then put it in its original position.” Answer Onel simple.
“Sorry I'm not ordinary. So a little worried.”
“To be precise, mom should dare to do new work. Think of your two kids who will cost a lot. What is their future, if you just hide in to worry while the needs keep getting bigger along with the size of your children. Build the confidence to do things seriously. Wouldn't God be on the right side?”
“Alhamdulilah. Thanks for your lead Mi. Alright I will accept to clean the house that mami has the key.” Answer Puspa sure.
Kiloan dirty clothes earlier turned out to be even more than 25kg. Can Puspa imagine how much money he will be able to see after completing his new job.
Onel did not walk, he only pointed to some houses that would be cleaned.
By taking a prayerful breath on the almighty, Puspa chose one of the houses to begin cleaning. Puspa slightly grunted to see the condition of the house, which was actually inappropriate in a house, but the ship broke.
But with Bismilah. Puspa continues to carry out his mission to clean the house.
Walking towards the back hoping to meet some cleaning tools such as sap, mop and such Puspa also found it there. However, not with the fragrant liquid, or your floor cleaner, you,
Puspa keep trying to clean from sweeping just first, in the living room and the middle room. Soaking the mop with dish soap liquid he feels can help reduce some of the stains on the floor. Then into a very messy room. Puspa was a little confused and wanted to change the sleeping equipment, but did not dare.
Then he went to Onel's house.
“Mami, can I have permission to briefly buy a cleaner and floor scavenger, because there is no ?”
“Oh. Is your job done?”
“Not yet clean mami. Because it's so dirty. And his bed is okay to change, but I don't know where to save instead.” Puspa.
Seriate…
