Vegetable Basket

Vegetable Basket
KS. 87



The three members of the vegetable basket continued to chat until the dzuhur adzan reverberated, until they went home to each other, even though in the office there was no work, however, they choose to keep going to control the unharvested vegetables.


Arriving at home, the three of them separated in front of the alley. Fathan went into the alley, and Kamal entered his house when he arrived at the house, and Farhan was waiting.


"Fathan here first...!" call Farhan after seeing his son come in.


"Well, what's wrong, sir?" asked Fathan who was about to enter the room, he went back to the living room, where his father sat while watching TV.


"Sit down....!" exclaim Farhan.


Fathan Nodded then he sat down on the chair in the tv room, then looked at his Father who looked serious. "what's the matter, sir?" Fathan repeated his question.


"When do you want to hand over money for your sister's wedding?" farhan asked as if he did not understand the problem his son was facing, he easily spoke like that.


"Later on, sir..! now I'm spending a lot, especially agricultural produce can not be sent, so many are rotten and dry" replied Fathan explained his financial condition.


"Everything so that person obey the parents, because there is no way a parent will plunge his child. Try if you recite, you still work in the company of his father Kirana. Maybe now you will not have trouble to find money that is only a month of your salary," said Farhan like there is a gap to express long-spirited resentment in the chest.


"Same Sir...! pak Wira's company because it was closed, it's been almost a month."


"But even though they are closed, they still pay their employees.but quite some 70% there are 50% depending on company policy.try you imagine 50% of 150 million, you can imagine, you still have a salary of 75 million per month even without working. Therefore, if the old man is advised, do not defy! The feeling itself is now what the consequences are?"


"Sorry Sir...!" I'll try to get the money there soon!" replied Fathan who seemed to be about to end the debate, he realized talking to his parents would not.


"Later....! When later? from yesterday you said it later, but until now where is the evidence? just so you know that Farah does not get married without a reception, want to put where the face of the father? if you meet the residents who attended your sister's proposal.


"Wait a minute, sir! until the conditions really improve, after all we should not hold a wedding with a reception, because we are in psbb."


"Psbb What...! psbb it's in the city, if in a village like ours there's no psbb-psbban,"


"Well Sir...! I'll try to make sure the money is there soon,"


"From later on, you will send Kirana home and apply her to her parents, but you must give conditions when you want to marry Kirana, Kirana, you asked for a job that you used to offer to give." Farhan's advice looks materialistic.


"Apaan's solution Sir, that's a very silly solution.Yes I will leave the farm I've built from zero, after the high is just abandoned!"


"Rather than you dizzy to think about the wedding money for your sister who does not know where, mending you relented and Marry Kirana, I believe all the wealth owned by her father Kirana, I believe, will fall all the same as you."


"What....! it's not a good solution, I said first because I want to join the congregation to the mosque," said Fathan while rising from his seat, Because he was not able to argue with his father.


"You....! I'm not finished talking!" snapped Farhan who did not like being left out just like that.


"We continue later after performing the prayer zuhur Pak!"


"No need! remember yes Fathan, if until next week you can not get money according to the needs for Farah's wedding then the father will sell rice fields and gardens,"


"Don't Mr ...!that's the dumbest thing you've ever done!" Timpal Fathan walked into his room.


"Did you say...? you fools, you fools because you don't want to work for 150 million, you prefer a farm whose income is inconsistent" Farhan yelled as he got up and headed to Fathan's room.


After returning from the mosque Fathan went home for lunch first, after which he went to the office vegetable basket, and then he went to the office, because even if there is no job, he is more comfortable living there than at home.


Arriving at the office, Idan was seen with four other friends who work in the software engineer section, They were seen sitting down while chatting. after seeing the arrival of Fathan crazy also invited him to join.


"What's up and?" ask Fathan while sitting down.


"Gini Tan's...! I'm still thinking about the solution that you offered this morning when talking to you" Idan began to explain."


"Which solution?"


"The solution that we sell using a pick up car, around the villages closest to Kampung sukadarma.even though the reality is very difficult but what's wrong we try, rather than we just fall silent and fixated waiting for fate,"


Hearing his cousin's statement, Fathan was silent as if thinking about what was said by Idan, considering the good bad when he peddled his trade around the nearby villages, which do not have a vegetable farm, and the, After a long thought, Fathan finally got a decision.


"If anyone wants to sell around, that's okay. Because it's true what you say we have to keep moving, so that our farm is not too completely paralyzed, then what are your plans now?" Fathan answered with a question.


"If you agree, then we will use vegetable delivery cars to sell around to villages, we just add some tools to support our sales."


"What tools?" asked Fathan whose thoughts were being confused so that he was not as smart as usual.


"We need a tent for cars so that our vegetables are not exposed to rain, plus we need horn spikers, loudspeakers.so we are not hoarse When We have to peddle our sales,"


"How much does it cost."


"For the cost maybe we only buy speakers, because to make a pickup car tent we can use the existing materials," explained Idan.


"Yes what you think is good, do it..! because honestly I'm thinking a lot, my brain is divided everywhere.At any time Farah wants to get married, my father immediately asked for money to hold a reception."


"It's okay that the most important thing is that you allow it, Let us work. You calm your mind and if you can, think also what was suggested by the Father."


"Well and! Thanks for helping out with the vegetable basket," replied Fathan, patting Idan on the shoulder.


"Together...! because this is not your own responsibility, but the responsibility of all of us who belong to the agricultural group."


Finally the deliberation was stopped, the five of them began to invite other farmers to prepare a pick up car so that it can be used to sell vegetables.


While Idan he went to the District to buy Horn speakers for sale.the members of the vegetable basket began to be preoccupied with helping preparations to realize the plan Idan.


The next morning Asep and the other young members began to bring their vegetables around to nearby villages to be sold.


That day, they get happiness because when there is effort, there will definitely be results.the vegetables they brought this morning when returning to the village of sukadarma only 25% more, but there will be more, make the members of the vegetable basket began to have new expectations, expectations when they will not continue to fall.


The second day of their forecast was very wrong, at first they thought that the day would be as smooth as yesterday. But unfortunately hope only lives Hope, Asep accompanied by Idan selling around Kampung, they came home with a huge disappointment, because the vegetables they brought only sold 25% only.


Arriving in the village of sukadarma, Idan along with other vegetable sellers faced their chairman, to report the results of the day's sale.
