Guruh

Thea October 3rd, 2007

Last week, I called my aunt. Besides asking about her condition, I also wanted to know the business progress that’s currently being developed by Guruh, my brother.

Starting at the beginning of the September, Guruh, made a breakthrough. It’s a breakthrough for me as I never dare to start a thing like him. I know that he always dreams to run his own business someday. But I never expected before that being a restaurateur was one of his choices. 

I couldn’t believe when he said to me that he wanted to start the business immediately.

It has to be now, or never!

My father and I were those who rejected the idea. For me, he’s too young to start such business. Moreover, he managed to build the business in other city, not in Jogja. It means he has to terminate from his colleague for a while. 

I just want to make sure this business runs well. Afterward, I will go to college again.  

 

We (my parents and I) “gave in” our rejection and decided to give his choice a go.  Having gone for about one month, his business shows a positive trend. Everyday, at least he earns 700-900 thousands. He is confident that this business, which he builds with his friends, is going to grow well someday. I am so glad with this news. He isn’t only growing up now but also maturing himself. He dares to take the responsibility of the choice he made. And he proves that his intuition isn’t wrong. InsyaAllah:) I just can laugh remembering my days with him as he was so spoiled to me and my parents. Imagining that he is running a business in such age was never in my mind before.  

 

I remember the last message he sent to me before opening the restaurant.

Mbak, don’t send me money anymore. I want to be independent now. 

 

 

And now, he becomes a restaurateur when he’s 20 years old. Guruh, I am so proud of you:)

    When Gurus asked me about his idea to start a business, i support him, even he had to break from colleague. That’s a big jump, and he passed it.

    Indi…yang ini bukan GSP tapi MGP (inisial buat nama lengkap adeku:P).
    Awalan yang bagus buat seorang pemula kayak dia. Dan kayaknya dia tambah yakin dengan pilihannya:)

    Hiks…aku ngiri padanya, ngiri sama keberaniannya. Sedangkan aku cuma bisa di sini dan ga berani keluar dari “comfort zoneku”(jangan ketawa ya Hun). I don’t have such guts!!

    Oh God, please have an advise on me!
