-- In Surabaya ---
Late in the afternoon at the boarding house, Sarah was busy packing tempe chips in plastic. Today Sarah packed more tempe chips than usual day, because the business of tempe chips next to her room sold out loud.
20 Minutes later, Sarah managed to finish her work and brought a plastic package of tempe chips in the next room to meet her theme.
"Dok Doc" (Sarah knocked on the door)
"assalamualaikum" said sarah
A woman listening to Sarah's voice rushed to the door.
"waalaikumslam, is it finished rah?" ask the woman
"Yes Lisa, thank God Namira is not fussy today so it can be finished faster" replied Sarah
Lisa is a classmate of Sarah in the campus, It has been 3 months Lisa pioneered the business of tempe chips with a variety of flavors including balado flavor, barbeque, black pepper chicken and grilled corn.
Lisa saw Sarah was very diligent with her task of helping to pack tempe chips for her. Unhesitatingly. Lisa paid Sarah more than ever to surprise Sarah
"this is rah, your wages" said Lisa gave a sheet of money with a picture of Soekarno hatta
"Geez Lisa, this is so much, I have no change" replied Sarah
Usually Lisa gives her best friend Rp.40,000 - Rp.50,000 per day that helps her pack tempe chips. But today it is not as usual Lisa gave a wage of Rp.100,000 because according to Lisa the amount of tempe chips packaging wrapped Sarah more and appreciate that Sarah completed it on time
"why you didn't realize you were packing these tempe chips more than usual, and you were on time to finish them" Lisa replied
"Lisa, but I don't feel good about you, don't tell me that you feel sorry for me, I'm happy for lis, you pay me as you always do" said Sarah
Indeed banar, Lisa actually also has the intention to help her best friend's economy, but because she did not want to offend Sarah, Lisa was forced to lie with Lisa
"Well Iisa, I went back to my room, I said goodbye, assalamuaikum" answered Sarah
"waalaikumsalam" said Lisa
Sarah returned to her room to her daughter who was still asleep. Sarah is grateful, today she got a fortune. Without thinking, Sarah arrived to take an empty mineral water bottle measuring 500 ml, then put the money obtained today into the bottle.
"God, may my and my husband's provision be smooth, I hope that with every day I manage my family's finances and save money, I can help my husband in supporting this small family, especially my greatest wish I wanted a home" Sarah said
Sarah's prayer was unknowingly heard by Umar. Umar had just returned from his job as a campus janitor. Umar felt to be a useless husband because he could not peddle his children and his wife lived uncomfortable, he tried to withstand the tightness of crying in his chest, trying to pretend not to know what Sarah said just tried to greet her as if she was going to just go home from work.
"assalamualaikum" said Umar
"waalaikumsalam mas" answered Sarah turning to Umar
Umar approached Sarah and sat down beside her. Sarah saw her husband full of sweat in his uniform and told her to take a bath
"mas seems like you are tired, take a shower first yes, I will prepare food for the mas" Sarah said
"yes, deck" replied Umar
10 Minutes later, Umar finished bathing in the bathroom and rushed to the room. Arriving in the room, Sarah had served eggplant stir-fry and tofu.
