Paying with Cash

Membayar dengan Tunai

Rina pergi ke toko kecil di pasar pagi. Ia ingin membeli roti, telur, dan susu. Ia melihat harga di rak. Roti sepuluh ribu, telur lima belas ribu, dan susu dua puluh ribu. Ia menghitung pelan, memakai jari. Kasir tersenyum dan menanyakan apakah ia ingin membayar dengan kartu atau tunai. Rina memilih tunai. Ia mengambil dompet kain dari tas. Di dalamnya ada beberapa lembar uang dan koin. Ia menyerahkan lima puluh ribu. Kasir menghitung uang lalu memberi struk dan kembalian. Rina memeriksa kembalian dengan sabar. Ia berkata terima kasih lalu memasukkan barang ke kantong. Ia merasa aman karena membayar tunai. Ia juga senang belajar berhitung sederhana di toko. Cuaca cerah, pasar ramai, dan Rina pulang dengan senyum.
