Bunga : (to her husband Ashraf). Why don't we come to the market more often?
Ashraf : I don't find it a very enjoyable place.
Bunga : But I do. I want to come here every day.
Ashraf : Come here every day, then. Who stops you? You have nothing better to do . . .
Bunga : Now, don't shout, dear. I didn't say I will come here every day; I said I want to come here.
Ashraf : Let's not argue any more. Let's quickly do the shopping and go home. The children must be getting impatient.
Bunga : OK, here's the shopping list. We'll first buy toiletries and groceries and then go to the vegetable stall.
Ashraf : That's right. Let's go to the department store next door.
SHOP ASSISTANT : What can I do for you, madam?
Bunga : We're new to this store and we don't know where things are. Can you tell us where the groceries are? And the toiletries?
SHOP ASSISTANT : For the
groceries turn right, madam, and then walk straight on until you come to
the end of the corridor. And for the toiletries, just turn left and you
walk right into them.
Bunga : Thanks.
Later in the vegetable stall.
Later in the vegetable stall.
Ashraf : I want these 15 items. Please make me the bill quickly.
COUNTER CLERK : I'll take only a minute, sir. Here's the bill.
Bunga : Most of the vegetables I wanted to buy are stale. Some of them are even rotten. You should've thrown them away.
COUNTER CLERK : Sorry, madam. In fact, yesterday the wholesale market was closed, and so we couldn't bring in fresh supplies.
Bunga : But that doesn't mean you should sell rotten vegetables.
COUNTER CLERK : Sorry, madam.
Bunga : I won't come to this place again.
Ashraf : Not until next week! Bye!Artinya dalam Bahasa Indonesia :
Bunga : (Bilang pada suaminya, Ashraf). Mengapa kita tidak sering-sering pergi ke pasar
Ashraf : Saya pikir pasar bukan tempat yang menyenangkan.
Bunga : Tapi menurutku enak ko. Setiap hari saya ingin pergi ke sini.
Ashraf : Datang kesini setiap hari. Siapa yang melarang? Kamu ga da kerjaan lain yang lebih baik apa.
Bunga : Sekarang jangan teriak sayang. Saya ga bilang saya akan datang setiap hari. Maksud saya, saya ingin datang ke sini.
Ashraf : Udah jangan bertengkar lagi. Ayo cepat belanja terus pulang. Anak-anak pasti tidak sabar (menunggu).
Bunga : Ok, ini daftar belanjanya. Pertama kita beli peralatan kamar mandi, terus bahan makanan, lalu pergi ke kios sayuran.
Ashraf : Baik, ayo kita ke toko serba ada di sebelah.
Asisten Toko : Apa yang bisa saya bantu, bu?
Bunga : Kami baru di pasar ini, kami ga tau tempat. Bisa kasih tau di mana toko serba ada dan toko perlengkapan mandi?
Asisten Toko : Toko serba ada, belok kanan bu. Lalu jalan lurus sampai mentok. Kalau toko perlengkapan mandi, belok kiri tepat ada di situ.
Bunga : Terima kasih.
Asisten Toko : sama-sama.
Beberapa saat kemudian di kios sayuran.
Ashraf : Saya ingin 15 ini (sambil ngasih daftar sayurannya). Tolong hitung biayanya secepatnya.
Pelayan Kios : Tunggu bentar pak. Ini biayanya.
Bunga : Kebanyakan sayurannya sudah basi nih. Malah ada yang sudah bau. Harusnya sudah di buang.
Pelayan kios : Maaf bu, kemarin seluruh pasar tutup jadi kami tidak bisa mendapatkan sayuran yang segar.
Bunga : Tapi bukan berarti anda harus jual sayuran busuk kan?
Pelayan kios : Maaf bu.
Bunga : Saya tidak akan datang ke tempat ini lagi.
Ashraf : Tidak sampai minggu depan.
