You Give, You Get Back

This is one of Ramadhan's miracles. As I read the message on FB, I took a few moments with my eyes closed to marvel the greatness of Allah swt. Alhamdulillah. It was such a simple simple simple thing that we do but the reward was almost immediate.

Our friend Mize ordered baju kurung from us for her two daughters. She told us her daughters' sizes are a bit odd, so she will measure them herself and send us the measurements. We received the measurements and proceeded to buy the materials and got the baju kurung sewn. The materials selected were a little bit expensive. The baju kurung were delivered last weekend.

Yesterday, I got to know from Linda that apparently our friend got the measurements wrong. The baju are both too short for her kids. (In her words - macam baju kurung Kedah!). It was not our fault because we followed her measurements but still we apologised. She was very nice about it saying it was her fault not ours.

However, we really felt so bad about it. After our discussions, we decided to make two new baju kurung for Mize's kids. Free of charge. However, we will decide on the materials. We have in store the pink bubbles and we plan to buy another one. Linda calculated and said we will have to minus RM50 each from our individual collection to pay for the materials and my sister. It's no big deal as long as our friend's kids will get proper baju kurung for Hari Raya.

Anyway, we actually have closed new orders. However, last night, someone ordered a baju kurung from our existing material (which actually was last year's material that has been paid for) and straight away transferred money after I said we can take her order for her daughter - the very last one before Raya. And that payment actually covers not only the new order but there's extra to pay for the new baju kurung we are making for our friend! So, we don't have to minus that RM50 each from our portion of this business because the very last baju kurung has paid for all that.

Subhanallah...
