This morning, everything turned cold. Yohana still chose to shut up. Early in the morning after the dawn prayer he prepared breakfast for everyone, before Alif woke up, he hurried to the market to shop even though the actual stock of groceries was still a lot. After returning home, he deliberately avoids Alif by sneaking into the kitchen. Seeing Yohana's behavior like that made me sad, but I didn't know what to do because I was afraid to make her hurt even more.
"Hopefully we'll have a child soon." I whispered to myself. People say, when a woman has offspring then she will be preoccupied with the affairs of the baby. Hopefully by doing so he can release Alif completely on Mbak Lila.
Finished with the house business, Yohana followed me to our office. Just as he was about to start his work, Alif's spontaneous crying made him get up and know Alif's condition, but on the doorstep he returned. It seems like he still remembered what I said yesterday, so he refrained from letting Lila take care of him.
"You don't want to see Alif?" ask me, looking at him.
"No, there's Lila. Sister Lila InshaAllah knows best for Alif." Replied Yohana while continuing to flip through the financial books.
."but Alif is still crying. Looks like he's looking for you."
"No, let it go!"
"Han,"
"It has. Let it!"
"Han,"
Suddenly Yohana slammed into my arms, and cried. I gave him time to express his emotions. I rubbed his head slowly.
"I ... I didn't mean to take Alif from Lila's mother. I don't care if I'm just considered a nanny. But I can't be far from him. We've been separated for a long time and I miss Alif a lot. I just need a little time to let go of the miss. But if her mother objected, I'm fine " said Yohana while wiping away her tears.
"If you miss Alif, nothing. Come out." I said. I also cannot forbid it. Hubunga they're very close. From the morning it seemed like Alif was looking for Yohana, so she was fussy. Crying incessantly since waking up. It stopped for a moment, but then wept again, until now. "Go away. It seems like Lila was overwhelmed too. You can calm Alif as well as teach Lila how to handle when Alif is crying."
"can you? What if Lila doesn't like it?"
"Bak Lila will definitely understand." I said. No need to talk anymore, Yohana went straight out. From the slightly open door, I could see how painstakingly Yohana persuaded Alif. As I thought, she was crying because she was looking for her foster mother. After meeting Yohana he immediately shut up and did not release his embrace from Yohanw.
"I'm sorry, I was working. But mom's not going anywhere. I love Alif." Yohana.

"I'm sorry, Han." Lila's mother immediately scattered in the arms of Yohana. "I'm a lousy mother. Ever left my own child, so God has my law like this, being distant with my own child. It's all my fault, but I blame someone else. Once again forgive me, Han, and thank you for helping to keep Alif. You deserve a special place in Alif's heart. You're a really good mother to her." Ms. Lila praised Yohana who very easily made her quiet.
"alright. Teach me Han. I won't take Alif from you anymore. From now on we'll be her mother." Said mbak Lila. "You want Han? Let me make amends to him."
"Of course mbak, we both became Alif's mother "the two women hugged each other.
Seeing them accept each other made me relieved. It's for Alif's sake too. Eliminating one of them will not make the child better. Because Alif needs a lot of affection to grow.

Sanjai sales should have increased five-fold this month, but because an incident made it down freely. Complaints with the sanjai we sent. They were complained about by customers who said our products were not new. It's in the wind and like old chips. Of course, the complaint made us turn our brains because all the items we sent were new items. But that customer gave us the exact same sanjai as our product as proof that what he bought was not a good product. As a result, our partnership was cut. Maslaha this really makes me dizzy. Our hard work has failed.
Ami cried to hear this news. He who feels he has given his best so discouraged, no longer want to continue production. But I advise you because this is part of the effort. There will be obstacles that will be overcome. If we make it through then this incident will forge us to be even stronger.
"Where else are we going to sell?" Ask Ami.
"I'll find a new market. Yohana and I will go around offering our sanjai. Perhaps there are still people who match with the gift shop." said I who was observed by Yohana and mbak Lila.
We really have to try again. Now, his efforts must be doubled to market because there is already a defect attached to our sanjai. From morning until evening, Yohana and I went around. Do not forget to do online marketing. Because there is also no sales, eventually production must be stopped because the goods are increasingly piling up and feared will fall in expiration.
"Would we just replace another effort, bang?" Bargain Ami again. He looks most discouraged. Maybe because before our income had doubled, we knew we had to stop because no one else would accept this product.
"All right, what can I do. Because goods are increasingly piling up and capital is piled up, so I'm going down to the market. I'll sell there." I said. Everyone agrees, Yohana will come with me. We start tomorrow morning. Become a nomadic seller, from one market to another, from one office front to another while thinking about other marketing techniques.

"We change the package. So it's like a regular snack to get into the supermarket." I said, while showing a simple design to Ami and Yohana.
"It's interesting, but what about the cost of production?" ask Yohana.
"Nothing is maximized first. Making it like this fortunately will be a little, but nothing from the origin of the product still goes. We also need to innovate." I said.
"What's that?" Ask Ami.
"Create a taste and shape that is different from the rest!" I said. We are busy with the chips. Trying new things to conquer the market.
