Kapam proposed to kirana

"Yes, when I see Fathan, sometimes I like to feel sad and feel sorry, until now he has not had time to think about the happiness that is in sight. Ms. Kirana who has been waiting for almost a year, did not go to the room, because she was focused on thinking about us" said Kamal expressed his concern.

"Pity is also the same Miss Kirana who until now hung without certainty, we often hear that Fathan promised next month, next month, but until now Fathan has not also made it happen, he said, doesn't Fathan like Kirana?" Timpal is one of the members.

"No way I don't like it, I can see the farmer's eyes when I see Kirana. He loved the capital girl very much but he didn't have time to think about it, because Fathan was too busy thinking about us, and sometimes smart people like Fathan, can't guess what his way of thinking was," Timpal Kamal.

"But if Kang Fathan is married to Miss Kirana, I'm the first person to celebrate, and I'm even ready to donate all my salary for one month, the most important is the happiness of our leaders, the most important" said Asep.

"You're good to be able to talk like that, because you don't have dependents yet. If we can't, because we already have a child and a wife that must be funded, if the salary of 1 month you give up the same Fathan then what will we eat?"

"Yes I also know, I will not invite the fathers to come, I only reveal the happiness of a subordinate when his superior is happy.

Finally the warehouse was back boisterous with small talk chatter, while interspersed with jokes, but even though it was like that, fear of fear, could not be inevitable because they already knew, but even so, fear of fear was inevitable, how miserable if there are areas subject to large-scale social restrictions.

In the following days the difficulty began to feel, the storage warehouse of crops was full, and the results began to rot because it could not be sent to the market, let alone the Supermarket had closed its place of business, although it could send, and the results began to rot because it could not be sent to the market, let alone the Supermarket had closed its place of business, even that only a small amount can not accommodate the entire vegetable basket farm.

Kamal and Idan who knew the reality that was happening to his group of farmers, he met Fathan who was sitting on a long bench next to a vegetable basket. The farmer looked gloomy and uninspired as usual.

"Disturb Tan?" asked Kamal who stared with sadness, after seeing the person he was always proud of pensive not budging, because since enacted psbb Fathan more often silent alone.

"Eh, Mang Kamal, no Mang, please sit down!" fathan answered while shifting his seat to make room for the new son and father.

"Would you make coffee?" ask Idan.

"Can....!" replied Fathan who was feeling tired.

"Mother is also Dan!"

"Bapak Don't need to copy, because according to the document, you can't coffee first, before you recover and move as usual!"

"Yes now it's been a year, I was treated in 2019, now it's 2020," Kamal replied with a smile hoping his request was granted by Idan.

"Yes, wait...!" idan answered while getting up from his seat, then he went into the kitchen to make coffee.

Beside the vegetable basket office was back in silence, only the sound of birds chirping from the direction of the garden that was looking for food, the birds look very happy in contrast to all the members of the vegetable basket who are feeling sad because it has been a few days of their agricultural products piled up in the warehouse, without knowing where to sell.

Kamal and Fathan, they sit around ushering in their own daydreams, imagining the worst possibilities that will befall their lives, if they do not quickly find a solution to the pandemic problem.

"Well, how about daydreaming. tumben terribly! usually, you and you often chat," said Idan who just came out of the kitchen while carrying a tray containing three cups of coffee.

"What are you talking about, I'm confused and!" replied Fathan who sighed.

"The problem we face is, a very severe problem, because not only us, not the people of sukadarma doang village who experienced this disaster, all of Indonesia and even the whole world feel the same. so this is a very complicated problem. let alone us, people who have intelligence that is above average can not find a solution, in order to get out of this problem," fathan replied expressing his uneasiness.

"Yes right...! let alone us who are still developing countries, developed countries such as France, America and even the country of origin of the covid, they are very tired of facing a very deadly pandemic" Kamal confirmed.

"True Mang, although the market in Sukabumi is not closed completely, but they limit the acceptance of the number of goods, because traders in the market also do not want to lose because of declining purchasing power. How not to decline while people who work must stay at home, plus not all work can be completed at home, such as builders, construction workers and other field workers, it's very destabilizing to the economy."

"Yes it is true because the ones who turn the wheels of the economy of the traders are the workers, While the workers are at home, even the factory has begun to close," said Timpal Kamal who reaffirmed the farmer's speech.

"Do you have a solution to our problem?" idan asked as he looked towards his cousin.

"Bung and! There's a plan, but how?" fathan replied who looked back sighing, as if he was releasing a heavy weight shackling.

"What solution do you have, what obstacles do you face?"

"I plan to start trying to peddle our agricultural products to the villagers who are in the Sukabumi area, because if in the village social restrictions are not as tight as in the city, but that becomes an obstacle, he said, villagers and villagers don't really like to eat vegetables, plus they usually have their own farm."

"If the sale is not to the village, we sell to the city just happen to have a lot of pick-up cars to peddle agricultural products," suggested Idan.

"You sell how, we pass the border of Regency and City alone must have a permit in and out, we are only allowed to send vegetables to the market, that is only 10% of our agricultural products. whereas if we sell in the city that violates the rules of social restrictions, because surely we will huddle, surely we will touch," replied Fathan who revealed the problem.

"Yes, too...!" there was a slow breath issued by Idan and Kamal, because they were experiencing a very severe problem.true what the farmer said, let alone those who are only small businessmen, let alone small entrepreneurs, the geniuses in the world alone cannot find a solution.

"Yes, we are patient, praying for this pandemic to end. Oh yes Tan, Mamang want to ask your personal problems?: said Kamal to divert the conversation after their thoughts hit can not find a solution to the problem at hand.

"Which personal problem is Mang?" fathan asked as he looked towards his uncle.

"You have no pity on Ms. Kirana who has been almost a year over she never returned to her parents' house, even when the days of Islamic celebration she still lives here, he said, For the sake of waiting for you," asked Kamal who the longer he felt sorry for Kirana, the Capital woman who was very considerate with Fatha, Even she was willing to leave her family for the sake of Love of the farmer. Kamal was curious, wanting to convince the extent of Fathan's feelings to Kirana.

"No idea Mang..! Every time I want to see his parents, I always get a problem" replied Fathan.

"So now the farm is not too busy, because we can not sell agricultural products, mending you take Kirana home, If you do not like Do not make people Wait, If you love him, if you love him, you want to bring Kirana home, quickly ask the parents, the matter of getting married when it can be discussed again," Kamal suggested.

"But if I deliver it, I'm worried about the vegetable basket farm."

"Farm problems let Mamang and Idan take care, because even though we are not as smart as you but we have a big responsibility."

"Yes mang....!I'll think again" Fathan said as usual.

"Don't you have to take Miss Kirana home soon, sorry if she has to wait again!"

"Good Mang!" fathan replied while bowing his head.
