Vegetable Basket
KS. 88
"You're home yet?" ask Fathan to welcome new members after selling vegetables in nearby villages.
"Yes Tan, but the results are very disappointing.The goods we carry only sell 25% only," reported Idan who looks lethargic.
"Nothing, the important thing is that we have tried as much as possible.we do not give up until here, we have to fight until where it ends," said Fathan encouraged.
"Yes, but if we could only sell 25% vegetables, our vegetables would be rotten, because the car that became the sales tool was not able to carry our vegetables very much, he said, once we set out to only be able to bring 10%, the proceeds from agriculture. It also only sells 25% So every day we can only sell 2.5% of all vegetable basket farming." lamented Idan
"Well, we can sell 2.5% plus 10% that is brought to the market, rather than everything rotten.from tomorrow I will go to sell," replied Fathan.
"Not to kang! mending Akang is here, take care of the office! Let us sell," said Asep who disagreed.
"It's okay, we have to fight together to advance all the citizens! put down the unsaved vegetables, then you rest" exclaimed Fathan, ending the discussion later that afternoon.
Finally, the vegetable basket members began to lower the vegetables that were not sold, then stored back to the warehouse, assisted by farmers who had not returned home.
The next morning, as promised by Fathan. The farmer started selling along with Idan and Asep, and he seemed excited when he offered vegetables to people who were passed by pick up cars transporting vegetables.
That day Fathan continued to sell, until late Maghrib he just got to the vegetable basket office.although limp because the results obtained have not been maximized. he is aided by Idan and Asep begins to take down vegetables that cannot be sold.
"If this keeps getting our vegetables all rotten, Kang!" asep expressed his concern.
"Share it to the whole village..!" exclaim Fathan.
"Already Kang, but how else, because all the people of Sukadarma village have their own farm, so let alone take from the warehouse, the vegetables they grow can not eat."
"Offer to the sukaramah village and the closest villages of our village, but we must tell that the vegetables have withered" replied Fathan.
"Wouldn't it destroy our market, if we share it for free..!" argue the Idan who looks disapproving.
"No, because what governs the sustenance is not us, but God the Creator. Yes, let's go home, let's work tomorrow."
Finally the young men of the vegetable basket returned to their homes, to rest and gather energy so that tomorrow has more energy, when it began to face a very difficult day.
Such are the days of Fathan now, noon is busy with going around selling, peddling vegetables to the villages, while the afternoon when the vegetables are not sold he will distribute to the underprivileged communities, which is near the village of sukadarma, so that the results of the sale are not profits earned, but losses. But even so he remains grateful because rotten vegetables can be reduced and utilized.
Fathan continues to struggle with the difficulties faced by him and faced by the group vegetable basket. Fathan has done various ways to get out of the pressure of the covid pandemic outbreak, but unfortunately the failure is always approaching.until it does not feel finally arrived with the promised time, but unfortunately the failure is always approaching, where Fathan had to give money to his parents, to hold his sister's wedding reception which will soon be held.
That afternoon when the time is soon approaching the adhan maghrib, because the sun has hidden behind the mountain, leaving only a golden yellow color that illuminates the village sukadarma, so that the village looks yellowish green. Fathan who just returned home from selling, as usual with a disappointment that is so heavy, because the results of the sale have not been fruitful, which there are only losses and losses, because the results of the sale have not been fruitful, because the buyers are not unwilling to buy the goods, but do not have money, because they are equally forbidden to work.
With gontai the farmer continued to walk down the Gang that entered his house, until finally arrived at one of the houses that were not small and not large. kirana and Zahra were chatting on the terrace staring at the laptop, maybe they were busy taking care of the YouTube video they managed.
"Just come home, brother?" Zahra asked who glanced for a moment, while Kirana was indifferent as if she did not have any taste, maybe because it was often demonized so that she did not consider the existence of Fathan anymore.
"Well, what are you doing?" Fathan answered while taking off his shoes.
"It's normal to edit the video" Zahra replied.
"continue...! Later Brother help, Brother wants to take a shower first, because the sultry just came home from sale."
Fathan entered the house, when he reached the living room, his father was seen rising while staring at the new person.
"Assalamualaikum sir, ma'am!" Sapa Fathan while kissing both backs of old man's hands.
"Italiana..! You sit down first! Mother and Father want to talk," said Sri asked her son for the same time.
"What's wrong, ma'am? can't Fathan take a shower?" Fathan refuted because it is true that his body looks coiled and dirty, after a day of continuing to struggle to sell vegetables.
"Wait a minute you'll talk...! you can't refuse your parents' will" Farhan said with his face.
Looking rather lazy, Fathan was sitting on a chair with a body drop. actually he felt tired so he did not want to argue with his parents, because when there was a serious chat, he was tired, just a discussion that will be needed.
"What's up, sir?" fathan asked as he looked at his father.
"Where's the money rp150,000,000?"
"What money?" fathan asked not to understand.
"The time you forgot? you promised to hold rp150,000,000 for your sister's wedding reception. Last week you promised today you would give up the money" Farhan explained, rounding his eyes as if in disbelief when his son dodged it like that.
"You held a celebration like what Pak, while in other villages only many events that were disbanded. You want to defy the rules that already apply," replied Fathan explained.
"It was in the village of people, in the village of people. in our village where there might be a dare to forbid the father to hold a wedding ceremony. Anyway if you say don't go anywhere, now where's the money, let me calm down if you already hold the money."
"Sorry Sir...! Fathan has no money, there is also office money.that's also to pay the members this month, whether next month I can still pay them or not."
"What did you say...! the money isn't there, didn't you hear me wrong?"
"Yes sir, Fathan has no money, but he has made sure Farah wants his marriage when, whereas Now he is busy caring for patients in the hospital.
"The price depends on the Father. Farah is a child who is not like you who defies and often deceives parents. Your sister will definitely approve of What you ordered, now where's the money?" force Farhan.
"Sorry, there is no sir! But if Farah wants to get married, I will sell the Motorcycle and some assets that I have. Because some of the machines in the vegetable basket are not all belonging to the group, he said, but there are some machines that are purely mine,"
"When are you going to sell? Because the time has gone. In two weeks, your sister's getting married to Dr. Ardi."
"Father make sure first when Farah wants to get married, if it is certain that I will sell my assets. Besides yesterday the parents of the doctor Ardi they have said will suspend the marriage, if it is certain that I will sell my assets, until the pandemic is over."
"They talk like that because they don't have the money to hold the reception, after all our reception and the reception of doctor Ardi's parents are different, so the wedding will still be held but the reception at the parents' house doctor Ardi later." Farhan's refutation won't lose.
"Yes, the marriage has been postponed, Father and Mother are patient. I promised when Farah was getting married that the 150 million was there" Fathan replied, arguing with his parents that was a stupid thing he did.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure sir, if the total rice harvester machine, the same motor I can be sold at a price of 200 million. I took a shower, sir, Mom..!" fathan said as he got up from his seat, then he went into the room to take a towel to clean the body first, before performing congregational prayers at the Mosque.
