The Heart I Choose

Stay Spirit

This afternoon I went to the Buk Siti stall, wanted to see the first sale, hopefully my luck starts today.

"Excuse me buk,"

"Oh Mia, Ayoo here," asked Buk Siti.

"You pick up the buk box" I said.

"That's the box, Mia count first yes, mother has not had time from earlier," said Buk Siti.

I saw the contents of the doughnuts in the box, there were still 22 left, meaning only 18 pieces were sold.

"No one likes it, maybe" I thought.

"First day of selling, it's Mia's usual, maybe many are unfamiliar," Buk Siti tried to cheer me up.

Buk Siti handed over 18 sales.

"Why not cut the buk?" see the money intact without being completely cut for percentages as a tipped service.

"First day is not necessary, let Mia remain enthusiastic," said Buk Siti.

"Thank you a lot of buk,"

I gave 8 doughnuts to Buk Siti, but she only wanted 5, with the reason that later no one would eat, because the children of Buk Siti many who studied outside the city, only the youngest is here.

I walked home, while still holding Kiyah and holding Dika. Some of the rest of this doughnut I'll give to Mama Dela.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am," I called Ms. Dela from in front of her house

"Waalaikumsalam, Ms. Mia, ayoo come in" said Mrs Dela.

"No need Ma'am, I'm afraid in a moment, Papa Dika comes home," I refused subtly.

"Oh, that's okay" Mrs Dela said.

"You say this Ma'am, on the first day there is still a lot of rest, sorry to leave to Mbak Dela, but this is still good really,"

"So it's selling? I didn't go to Siti's Buk shop, so I don't know" said Ms Dela.

"Hehehe, yes mbak, thanks to Ma'am's advice, I must be reckless," answered me passionately.

I handed some doughnuts over to Ma'am Dela, who was gladly accepted, maybe she didn't want to refuse which would disappoint me.

Mas Wandi came home, just as I was closing the door, I was so relieved not to be found out.

I prepared his favorite coffee sachet and served a plate of doughnuts the rest of the sale. I hope he doesn't ask too many questions.

****************

Mas Wandi seemed to enjoy the doughnuts I made,

"Tomorrow Rian and Rani go home, you make doughnuts like this, for supplies on the road and souvenirs for Mama."

Tomorrow's the second day I sell, which means I have to make more donuts, imagining it making me tired. But I have to keep the spirit, this is for the sake of my ideals to have a new phone.

"May you ask for money to buy the ingredients?" manyu timid.

"Here, don't spend!! the rest buy vegetables."

Mas Wandi handed over the red money, it seems like he is happy today.

"I'm shopping tonight, let's make it in the morning." I leave Kiyah to Mas Wandi.

"Don't wait! I'll be out soon" said Mas Wandi.

I could only sigh, and pass away.

"Mr Mia," Madam Dela was already standing behind me, it seemed like she had indeed deliberately followed.

"Eh, yes Mrs Dela,"

"The donut is delicious, but there is less," Mama Dela spoke without further ado now, perhaps feeling we were familiar.

"Oh yeah, what's mbak?" manywould be surprised.

"The look is less interesting, Mommy must create the topping, let the kids like."

"I don't understand Ma'am, Ibuk just taught like that" I replied lethargicly.

I was just self-taught with my mother, so the topping was still very simple, just a sprinkling of refined sugar.

"This I've downloaded the video on YouTube, later in the Buk Siti stall, Mama Mia watch first," Mpa Dela pulled my hand, so we quickly arrived.

**************

After watching, I bought the materials I needed, fortunately all available at the Buk Siti stall, immediately I invited Mbak Dela home.

"Slowly too!" Mas Wandi yelled at me, but I had not yet reached the house.

Definitely Ma'am Dela listen, I'll be even more embarrassed.

"M-sorry, M-m-ma'm,"

"Already,.... I'm going!" yelled Mas Wandi.

I don't care, where he's going, I have to keep the spirit of making my own money.
