The morning sun that appeared at the top of the trees from the eastern horizon, had illuminated the horizon. The warm rays, slightly reduce the cold of the morning air, after almost a night of rain spots fell from the sky. Although not so heavy, but enough to wet the earth that has been a few days is starting to dry due to the absence of rain.

Normally, the moon is now in the dry season. However, due to climate change due to the effects of global warming, causing the weather to be erratic. Sometimes, the heat is like during the dry season. Suddenly, it rained continuously.

That morning, Raka left for the campus on her matic motorcycle. After breakfast and say goodbye to his mother, he immediately went to the campus through a road full of water due to the rain last night. When Raka reached the third of the road, she stopped her vehicle. There, he saw a girl waving her hands.

'' Brother, I'm coming! Can't you?" said a girl wearing a blue and white uniform who was standing on the side of the road and approached her.

'' Of course it can be Nay. After all, your school is close to my campus. Come ride!'' raka answered, then told Naya to go up and sit behind Raka.

Slowly, the matic motor driven by Raka returned to running at medium speed. He never drives fast, except for certain and important moments.

'' Tumben, you don't take Nay's bike, where are your bikes?''

'' Anu kak, Naya's bicycle tire broke. So Naya was forced to take public transport, or find a cane to go to school.''

'' Oh.. That way. Yes already! Starting tomorrow, you go to school with your sister. Or if not, then we will stop by the bike shop and buy new tires for your bike.''

'' But Naya doesn't have the money to buy a bicycle tire yet. You see, the money that you love to Naya yesterday, has run out to buy grandfather's medicine.''

'' So your grandfather is sick Nay?'' tanya Raka was surprised to hear the news.

'' Yes brother. Asmaanya relapsed again.'' said Naya sadly.

'' Nay, don't be so sad! After college later, brother wants to stop by to visit your grandfather.''

'' Oh right, what time are you coming home?'' raka asked after they got to the entrance of the school gate Naya.

'' Today Naya came home at half twelve feet. You know today is Saturday, so he came home early Naya replied and walked to the school gate. However, he turned back his body from remembering something.

'' Uh yes, brother! Later in the afternoon sister sales do not?'' naya asked Raka who was preparing to leave the place.

'' God willing to sell Nay. But you better not have to come to Nay's shop.''

'' Ioh why brother?'' ask Naya wonder.

'' Your grandfather is sick. Mending you at home aja temenin your grandfather. If later he needs anything, it will be kasian if he is left alone.'' said Raka gave advice to Naya.

Two years ago, Raka found Naya at work picking up trash. In addition to not attending school, it seems that Naya also lives in a shortage. Since her elderly grandfather was often sickly, it was Naya who helped make money for their daily living expenses.

Naya who is an orphan, she is used to living hard lives like this. Ever since both of his parents died, he was nurtured by his grandfather. However, his grandfather, who was only a manual labourer, was now no longer able to meet their needs. Therefore, Naya can not continue school and must work to meet the needs of their lives.

Therefore, Raka then invited Naya to help him sell at his sherabi shop. In addition, he also helped Naya to continue her school. Because Raka opened the shop in the afternoon and holidays only, then Naya can come to work without having to be disturbed by school time.

'' Baedah, help Babeh why! Every day, maeen mulu mulu work!'' yelled Junaidi from inside the house, as Noni was about to leave with her blue ninja Kawasaki motor.

'' No time Beh, aye want to latian. Ntar can be missed if helpin Babeh first.'' said Noni who immediately nangkring on his bike.

Junaidi could only shake at Noni's answer. The only daughter, he really likes martial sports. He never even felt deterred, even though he had been repeatedly injured during training.

'' Tomorrow, Beh! Tomorrow is sunday. Aye promised to help Babeh.'' continued Noni and prepared to leave Junaidi who is now standing at the door of her house.

'' Promises of mulu lu Baedah. From taon atu ampe now, your promise never you keep. I'm like a caleg! Ntar sok ntar sok, but there is no realization.'' grumbled Junaidi nagging Noni.

''Really Beh! Tomorrow aye helpin Babeh. Suerr.. Aye dared to be sampled with gledek if aye lied.'' said Noni while lifting her two fingers on the head.

'' Hus! Indiscriminate you say. But really ye, look out for you if bo-ong again!'' threaten Junaidi while showing her index finger towards Noni.

'' Yes Beh.. Really deh. Tomorrow aye will help Babeh. Moments ndiri Babeh don't believe! Babeh is a baek!'' noni pleaded with her father.

'' Babeh did not disbelieve ama lu Baedah, but elunye aja who likes bo-ongin Babeh.''

'' Yes Beh, aye pegi first. Mikum.'' said Noni then immediately turn on the engine of the motor.

'' Mikam mikum mikam mikum. Saying hello is not really you. Ati-ati! Don't speed with motornye!'' junaedi shouted, However, Noni had already walked out of the gate of the house.

Although Junaidi already has several restaurants, but in order to promote its jengkol processed products, he also opened a kiosk at an afternoon market around the park. Despite the name of the afternoon market, but this place is always crowded throughout the day, especially on holidays.

...----------------...

The next morning, Raka had just finished preparing the equipment for her sale. Because it's Sunday, he accidentally opened his shop early in the morning. Although in ordinary days he opened his shop, but during holidays like this, usually visitors will be more crowded than usual.

'' Sorry brother! Naya's late. Naya slept late last night. So Naya woke up rather bad luck.'' said Naya with a breath that was still wheezing due to pedaling her bike quickly.

'' No papa Nay, my brother has just come. Just relax! You sit down rest first!'' raka orders Naya who just came.

'' Bang, the cake is wrapped! Ask for the ORI and the gravy as well.'' said a fat boy who is a fan of serabi cakes.

'' Oh yes deck! Please wait a moment. You see, this will only start.'' said Raka, then allow the fat boy to sit in the chair that has been provided'.

When Raka was a child, she, her mother, and also her grandfather lived in a small village away from the crowds. In fact, their house is also at the end of the small village. However, because the access to Raka's school place was too far away, plus his grandfather who used to drive him to school also died, his mother took Raka to move and contracted a house not far from the city.

When Raka graduated from junior high school, she could not bear to see her mother was looking for money to finance her school. He then tried to earn his own income by working anything after school. Until one day, Raka was interested in selling sarabi cakes, after she watched the show on tv.

He keeps trying to make innovations for the cake. A variety of interesting toppings but still healthy, making more and more people like serabi cakes made by Raka. In fact, for people who have diabetes, Raka also makes serabi cakes from corn flour. This makes this cake made by Raka, still safe for sufferers of the disease.

Traditional snacks are simple, healthy, delicious and filling, suitable for consumption both for breakfast, lunch and night, or also as a snack. This serabi cake made by Raka, does not use preservatives or chemical dyes at all. So it will be safe to be consumed by anyone, both children and adults.

'' Brother Raka, this is an order for later in the afternoon. That's a lot. About, not taken huh brother?'' naya asked when an online taxi driver came and made an order.

'' That's Nay's fortune, time is not taken!'' said Raka then he approached the taxi driver online.

'' Sir, order it later in the afternoon?'' ask Raka to the taxi driver online.

'' Yes, yes mas. Can you not?''

'' God willing, what time is it about to be taken?'' ask Raka back.

'' Around the local hour. You have the message, asking for it at that hour!'' answer the driver.

'' Sir, God willing, be ready! But I ask for a minimum of half of the DP first, to buy materials and topping. Your order includes a lot. And as for the rest, please directly repaid when this order is taken. How?''

'' Yes, I am not papa. How much do you think the total is?'' ask the taxi driver online.

'' I want a package of what units?'' Raka asked back.

'' Just a moment! I asked the same person first!" said the online taxi driver, who then contacted the booker.

'' One package of contents how many mas?'' ask the driver to ask a question from the customer.

'' Three sir.'' answered Raka briefly.

'' Oh, said the message, he asked for the package aja mas.'' said the driver after contacting the buyer.

'' For the topping, do you wear all or some mas?''

'' All aja mas, let it be more varied.'' ask the driver to Raka.

'' Fine sir. For a moment! let me count first.''

Raka then calculated the total number of cookies ordered by the online taxi driver. Because this order is quite a lot, he did not forget to give discounts and also bonuses to the online taxi driver.

'' This sir, per package is twenty-five thousand rupiah. So if multiplied by two hundred and fifty packages, the total is six million two hundred and fifty thousand rupiah.''

'' The two hundred and fifty ribu I cut for a discount. And later on at repayment, there is a special bonus for the father. How, did you get a message?'' tanya Raka made sure so not the order.

'' So, yes, that was the person whose message had also spoken like that to me. This is the money, all repaid.'' replied the online taxi driver, then handed over six million rupiah to Raka.

'' Thank you, sir. This, a bonus for his father as well.'' said Raka while giving money of two hundred thousand to the taxi driver.

'' Wow..! Thank you so much, this time I got this much bonus. Later I will promote this mas-made cake to my customer customers.'' said the online taxi driver was so happy.

'' Sir wait wait wait! Nay, pack a package for this man!'' raka orders Naya when the driver is about to leave.

Naya immediately made Raka's request. He immediately wrapped the serabi cake at Raka's request, then handed it to the taxi driver online.

'' What else is this mas?'' ask the driver.

'' This is a little gift for you, maybe you want to taste my homemade serabi cake.''

'' Wooh, get another bonus! Hemm..The aroma is savory and delicious. Again, thank you very much. This is how I feel good! hhh.'' said the driver while smelling the aroma of serabi cake given by Raka.

'' Hhh.. This father can. Don't forget, the local hour was taken sir!'' Raka laughed because of the chauffeur's talk.

'' Yes, so it must be doong! Time not taken, can be complained the same I ordered. You paid it!'' the driver got into the car and left.

'' A lot of orders, about what is it for sister huh?'' tanya Naya who had witnessed the conversation between Raka and the driver earlier.

'' I don't know Nay! But usually, if the message is a lot like that tuh, for by the salvation people.''

'' Oh yes Nay, this is the sherbet dough will stay a little more. Please help me continue. I'm going to go shopping for materials for orders later in the afternoon. All of you want to ask for help with mom, make help make orders, and find people to help make the ceremony.'' said Raka.

'' Yes brother. Ready it!'' sahut Naya's.

'' Eh yes Nay, later if it's over, you all settle and close the shop. And after Dzuhur later, you come home to help wrap the order. And this, Bonus for you.'' said Raka while giving money three hundred thousand rupiah to Naya.

'' Wah.. Lots of bonuses. Thanks to you, brother!'' naya said happily after getting the bonus.

Raka then left the shop. He then went to his subscription store, to shop for his sales needs. After all the materials he needed, he went home. He also told his mother about the order.

Hearing Raka get a lot of orders, Sophia's mother was happy. He immediately contacted several neighbors, to assist him in preparing the order. It had become a habit for Raka and her mother, when she got a lot of orders, she would use the services of her neighbors.

It was very welcomed by the neighboring mothers of Sophia's mother. Because in addition to them getting wages from helping, they can also take a taste of serabi cake made by Raka which is quite famous.
