The Journey of Jinan

Chapters. 55

At exactly seven in the morning, Jinan was already preparing to go to the market with baby Ayla. Starting today Jinan wants to restart his business that had stalled, namely, the online cake trade. He could not rely on money from his restaurant in Germany alone to make enough of his life. He also has to make extra money for his future living expenses and also save for the future baby Ayla.

Although he had accepted Ardo, but he could not guarantee what his life would be like. He did not know whether God really predestined himself with Ardo or not. He does not want to depend on something that is not yet clear in the future what will be like.

Jinan also deliberately brought his baby son to the market, because in addition to no one to keep his child at home, he also all want to bring his child sunbathing in the morning. Although the aroma is not around the market is not good for children the age of baby Ayla, but Jinan has no other choice. He could only hope in God for the health of his son.

When Jinan opened the door, she was surprised by a red rose lying on her doorstep. He looked around his house to see if any suspicious person had placed a red rose in front of his house.

It had been almost two minutes of searching, but Jinan had not found anything suspicious either. There are only a few mothers who occasionally walk through his house to go to the market. It could not have been if the mothers had put the red roses in front of her house. There was no work, he thought.

When Jinan wanted to throw the flower into the trash, he suddenly remembered Ardo who had secretly sent him a red rose in front of his house while in Germany. Does this flower also come from Ardo? But Ardo has gone back to Turkey, how could that man be the culprit?

Feeling strange about the flower, Jinan ended up throwing the flower into the trash can in front of his house. Then he resumed his intention to go to the market.

 

...

 

 

Because the intention to go to the market only want to buy ingredients to make cakes, so Jinan only visited one of the specialty store cake ingredients in the market. The first fifteen minutes all went well, but five minutes later, the baby Ayla in her arms started crying.

Not wanting to stop his crying despite being overwritten, Jinan finally decided to end his shopping. Maybe baby Ayla feels hot in the cake shop that engap because of the crowd of buyers.

Pitying to see his son who continued to cry, Jinan finally went home by using an online taxi service. Intentions want to save money while taking their children to sunbathe in the morning, even ending up in a cool online taxi by draining the contents of his wallet.

Arriving at home, Jinan immediately cleaned all his groceries into the kitchen cabinet. Right at one noon, Jinan immediately contacted Ria to ask how to promote merchandise via online so that many glanced at her posts. Understandably, because of its limitations on the world of social media, makes Jinan a little nervous with the sophistication of the latest features of the smart robot.

The discussion that was originally only about business has now changed the topic to the closeness of the relationship between Jinan and Ardo. At that time Ria was unceasingly teasing Jinan with her own made-up remarks.

Jinan actually wanted to tell the incident yesterday morning to Ria, but if it turns out Ria already knew it from Ardo. Jinan did not expect that the man who looked cool was not much different from the mothers in his village who liked to gossip, Jinan thought.

Speaking of gossip, when Jinan was about to shop at the Wati bude stall, the neighbors who went shopping there immediately contacted Jinan when he had just arrived at the stall.

Everyone who was there was so excited to ask about his relationship with Ardo. And it turns out that the excitement came from one of the mothers who had seen Ardo give a necklace to Jinan on the porch of his house yesterday.

"Just say yes, Bude."

That is all Jinan can answer from the many questions raised by his neighbors. Jinan deliberately answered briefly the questions of his neighbors because he did not want to give another answer that is not necessarily certain. Only that answer was what Jinan thought was safe to say at this point.

After the maghrib prayer and after baby Ayla fell asleep, Jinan was seen busying herself with kitchen utensils. He wants to make various types of sponge cake as a photo object for his posts on social media later.

Occasionally Jinan's eyes stared at the screen of his phone that was on the kitchen table. He sighed because not a single notification came into his phone.

Can you guess Jinan is waiting for a notification from whom? Yes, Jinan is waiting for a notification from Ardo.

Ardo, who had been texting him for several days, made Jinan feel strange when she did not get any notification from the man. Especially after a few minutes the man left yesterday, Ardo had sent him a message that said it would give him news if it had arrived. But until now he did not get any messages from the man.

"Astaghfirullah Jinan, why think of him anyway. Astarghfirullah's. Forgive me, O Allah," he said inattentive.

Jinan went to the bathroom and washed his face, after which he resumed his activities that had been delayed because he had daydreamed something ridiculous according to him.

Long struggled with kitchen utensils, until almost one night later Jinan finished working on all his cakes, including taking pictures of the cakes. Although with the photo tool as it is, but with the help of Elena and Ria who will edit the images, hopefully the results will later be able to make prospective customers who see have the intention to buy.

Just want to fall asleep on her bed, baby Ayla suddenly woke up and cried right next to Jinan's right ear. Withstands sleepiness, Jinan bounces back from her comfortable position and grabs the body of baby Ayla to be breastfed.

Giving breast milk to baby Ayla does only take half an hour, but to make her fall asleep again, Jinan can only do it until the time shows at 04.20 am. After baby Ayla fell asleep, Jinan instead of going to bed, she went to the kitchen and filled her stomach with one of the sponge cakes she made while waiting for dawn.

***

Three days in a row Jinan continued to find a sprig of red roses on her porch. He was very confused, this incident is exactly the same as what Jinan had experienced while in Germany some time ago. Now he began to wonder, was the one who sent him this rose was the same person as when in Germany at that time? But how can it be? Doesn't Ardo no longer exist in Indonesia? Or maybe the guy didn't come back to Turkey and is still here?

It seemed that Jinan was eager to contact the man to inquire about this set of red roses in front of his house. But because of the more domineering doubt and shame, and also Ardo who never once contacted him, finally Jinan harbored only this curiosity.

This morning Jinan was preoccupied with her first cake order. After a day yesterday he was preoccupied with people who were just asking about the price; the location; and the taste of his homemade cake, but thank God today he has started to get orders in the form of a chocolate steamed sponge as much as two baking pans. Despite being only two panes, Jinan remained grateful and worked on them with pleasure.

After the Ashar prayer, Jinan immediately delivered his order on a motorcycle by himself. Luckily Sila was at home, so Jinan could leave Ayla sleeping there. Because the delivery location is quite close, so Jinan only takes half an hour and can return home before his son woke up.

Days continue to change, now Jinan trading began to flood orders after getting testimonials from his first customers who turned out to be a food vloger who is quite famous. All orders ranging from the nearest distance to a considerable distance will be accepted Jinan happily. Since he could not deliver all his orders because of the baby Ayla, Jinan finally decided to use the services of an express courier at work one of his school friends first.

...

In addition to busy with his merchandise, every morning Jinan is also always busy to throw a red rose that never absent comes to his house into the garbage can. He was really annoyed with people who lack work who had put the red rose in front of his house.

But especially for the next day, Jinan never again threw a rose that was lying on the porch of his house. He did not throw the rose because he already knew who a silly person who was willing to waste money on a single rose that would end up in a garbage can. That person is none other than Ardo. The feeling was not sure Jinan all along turned out to be true, that Ardo was the person behind the red rose.

Jinan developed a faint smile as she read the message that Ardo sent to her phone for the second time.

'Assalamu'alaikum, Jinan. How are you and Ayla doing there? I hope you're good, and always will be good. I'm sorry if I just sent you a message after a few days of leaving, because I actually did it on purpose. I want you to miss me and wait for messages to come in from me at all times. How, have you missed me? I hope the answer is yes. Oh yeah, are you still throwing that rose in the litter box? I hope you don't do it again. But if you still do the same. Rest assured that right now I am crying because of my sincere love you have put in the trash 😢. Jinan, I have to get back to work, say my regards to Ayla, tell her that her future father is missing her.'

"Since when did this guy like to fight? It must be because of the teachings of Ria and Elena," Jinan said softly while shaking his head.
