I'm Growing Old But I'm Afraid of Getting Married
story part 18

Intan was silent after hearing her grandmother's words.

Not long after they reached the fruit market, and the musakir and nek ilah rushed to their watermelon storage.

Followed by the arrival of four zakir friends namely doni, roni, riki and fatih. They then help zakir to tidy up and order the buyers who are waiting in front of their storage warehouse.

After all neat and ready, the musician then let the buyers take their part still each that has been prepared beforehand by the musician and friends.

The enthusiasm of the buyers made the diamonds dumbfounded, because he had never seen a buyer lined up in front of the warehouse while waiting for the seller to come.

Intan helped his grandmother to receive money from the sale, diamond then tidied up the money and put it in the drawer that has been provided.

Previously the task was done by the musakir, but because the diamond is now part of its employees, so the god gave financial affairs to the diamond, while the musakir served the buyers who continued to arrive.

Nek ilah and muzakir have very many loyal customers, because the fruits sold by nek ilah and musakir are always fresh and cheap, so buyers can also get a lot of profit if they want to sell again.

Then from that! every time they harvest will arrive, the customers must have been informed first by the musakir to determine how much they want to order, and after that when it has been harvested, the musicians will prepare orders for their customers in the storage warehouse.

Not infrequently many fruit sellers are jealous of the nek ilah and muzakir, because their fruits are always sold out in one day. While the fruits of other traders can sometimes be sold out for three to four days.

Intan then asked her grandmother where the buyers came from when they were not too busy.

"nek diamond wants to ask!

Nek ilah then responded to the words of diamond.

"yes, what do you want to ask?

intan then looked around and saw the difference between the people in the shop and the people in the store next door.

Nek ilah then smiled at diamond.

"the trick is easy, grandmothers only need to share the results of the sale of grandmothers to people in need and we must be kind to the people who buy our merchandise, he said, after that is Allah who will govern those who will later give alms through the grandmother.

intan was silent and still did not understand his grandmother's words.

"what about grandma? Dividing the sales to whom? Uncle's friends, huh? Then grandma gets a little dong?

Nek ilah then laughed at the innocence of diamond.

"i mean the grandmother, we must be diligent in giving alms, because some of the results of the sale of grandmothers there are also other people's sustenance there, whatever we get must still be grateful, no matter what we get, because that is the gift that God has given us.

Intan finally understood why her grandmother's sale was always a lot of buyers, apparently the god's grandmother was a diligent person, who gave alms, in fact, almost half of his income he gave to the mosque and nek ilah also often held free meals in his free home attended by residents of the village.

During the two days of living in the village, diamond finally got marketing knowledge from his grandmother.

And after 2 hours in the market finally their watermelon fruit sold out, and they get more turnover than usual.

Time to go home and the lady will distribute the sales to employees who have helped her harvest to market the fruit.

Not to forget the godparents invited diamonds to buy some stock of side dishes to eat them and the god's nek will hold a dinner at his house as he usually does after selling his fruits.

Intan accompanied her grandmother to shop at the market with the music and other friends also to bring the cake of the god which would certainly be very much.

Nek ilah bought a lot of food because it happened that the next day was Friday all want to give food to the mosque.
