     "What kind of scrub production?". My toot.

"Alhamdulillah little more completed yank, there are only a few parts that need to be renovated. Maybe a few more days are ready, the place is close to our snack production place". Answer Mas Arya.

"Thank God if that is so, God willing launched". My speech.

"Aamiin yank". His ideal.

"Oya mas know my employees whose name is Wati his nephew Mang Agus?". My toot.

"Hmm, that quiet guy right? What happened to him yank?. Arya asked back.

I also explained about my conversation with Wati this afternoon, Mas Arya was sorry to hear it.

Geck.. Geck.. Knock on my bedroom door.

"This is Ratna, mbak".

"Yes bentar Rat". I put on my hijab and immediately met her with Mas Arya. Don't forget to bring Wati's salary and there's an extra fortune from me and my husband for her.

We also headed to the living room, there was Wati waiting for me.

"This is my income today. I've called my friends, they're ready when they start working ". Ratna.

"OK later mbak call when it's time they work, all talk about their salary later". My word.

She came home after giving her friend contact. It's just me, Mas Arya and Wati.

I also took out two brown envelopes that I had prepared.

"It's your pay Wat this month, and this is a bit of a windfall from us. Please accept yes, hopefully useful for you and your family". I said, giving her the brown envelope.

"There are still many mbak and mas, may your fortune be launched". Speak with a loud voice.

"Aamiin, same - same Wati. Greetings to your family there, may your mother you recover soon and you can return to work here". I said, I hope he still works here after his mother recovers because even though he is quiet, he works deftly and cleanly.

Wati only replied with a nod and then said goodbye because it was eleven o'clock at night. There was already Mang Agus waiting for him in front of the fence. During his work here, Wati stayed at Mang Agus' house.

The sound of the motor horn from Mang Agus along with the sound of the motor that began to pass. After making sure the fence and door were locked, we went into the room.

Once in the room I also copied the notes and notes from Ratna to my laptop gift because of my pregnancy from Mas Arya, fortunately she had already taught me about bookkeeping sales so I was quite good at doing it myself.

I plan to buy one more laptop specifically for online sales later.

After all, Mas Aryapun told me to go to sleep immediately, he had forbidden me to stay up but I do not like to postpone the work fearing that tomorrow even I forget.

***

The next day after the dawn prayer, Mbok Darmi, Ratna and the workers of the production department had arrived. They immediately do their own work. Two weeks ago there was a special place to process food and drinks for stalls, so do not join the kitchen of this house.

Today the production is for the supplies ahead, so once finished it is made all packed in plastic vacuum then store in freezer. Because the production section already has Ratna handling, so I do my other work. Mas Arya had already left for the office at half-seven o'clock because today she had a meeting with a client.

After everything was done, they went home. I pay them every day as they please because they are all mothers - mothers who have many dependents, two of them are widows.

***

I was watching TV with Mbok Darmi because the housework was all done, so I invited him to relax. When I first worked here, Mbok Darmi sat down but I forbade him even though he worked for me but for me he is still a parent who must be respected. Our degrees are the same before God. At first he was reluctant to sit on top with me but I said I would also sit down below if he was right to sit at the bottom Mbok Darmi finally wanted to sit on top.

He had shed tears because he was moved because all this time he worked in people, his employer no one had ever treated him well like me. Moreover, I think of him as my own mother because Mbok Darmi has no children.

I am also happy with him I am not alone, I also miss the figure of a mother. A gentle and friendly attitude like my late Emmaku that made me comfortable to be around. If my relationship with my mother-in-law could be this close, our lives would be peaceful and happy. If also he would accept me as his daughter-in-law would be happy to obey his will.

May God immediately soften my mother-in-law's heart, so that we can coexist well let alone I am pregnant with her granddaughter.

     'Why is my shop income declining, the more lonely the day. Customers who used to take things at my place also rarely come here to shop. Though I've spent a lot of capital to fill an empty store item but it's been more than a week quiet like this'. Complain Ryan.

"Jupri how's the income today?". Ryan asked his employee at the cashier.

"Just this way sir, it's already noon nobody has been shopping". Jupri's reply showed me the contents of the cash register.

Ryan sighed hearing Jupri's explanation. Actually, it's been almost a month he felt that there was a problem but only a week he was the shop really - really deserted buyers. He had already contacted the customers but no one responded to the messages and phone calls from him.

Finally he went home because the condition of the store is quiet so it can be handled by his employees, if usually he has to intervene to take care of the store because it is always crowded with buyers.

Trings

Just now he got out of the car there was a message from his mother who asked to be sent money which made him more dizzy. Indeed, for the financial matters of his mother and sister Rani depend on him because after his father died he took over to provide for them, but now his finances are in trouble.

Forced just just as he can send, maybe if the store is still quiet he will stop sending money to them until the finances return to their original. After all, there is Arya, she is also her mother's child. He must be able to support his mother and Rani because now he has succeeded.

After replying to a message from his mother and transferring some money, Ryan searches for the whereabouts of his wife and child.

"Bi Sumi, where are Maira and mom?". Ryan asked his domestic assistant who was about forty years old.

"So Mom left she said there was business, if non Maira like again in her room. If you want to eat, I have prepared at the dining table". The answer.

"Later bi, I'll take a break". Say it and go to my room. Earlier he checked Maira's room, but it turns out she was sleeping

Bi Sumi has worked less than four years at Ryan's house, maybe later Ryan will lay it off for a while if the finances are still like this. Actually, it is not hearty because Bi Sumi has worked long enough with her and her work is also good. But how else, he's still a lot of dependents. This house and Bella's car have not paid off the installment not to mention other needs.

Not long after Bella came home with a lot of groceries in her hand, Maira who saw my arrival her mother ran up to her.

"A lot of your groceries Bell, Mas would have told you not to shop first until our finances improve. We have to skimp". Ryan said he saw his wife who was still shopping for luxury goods.

Bella did not touch her husband's words, and instead passed with Maira to her son's room.

Ryan sighed harshly at the behavior of his wife.

Seriate.
