(Perbualan rekaan)
A: Abang, walaupun saya dapat kerja baru, rasanya perbelanjaan bulan depan kita ni akan bertambah sebab kita terpaksa hantar anak kita ke rumah pengasuh. Dulu saya kerja di rumah, sekarang dah kena pergi ke pejabat.
B: Faham Sayang, Abang pun ada terfikir jugak pasal tu. Sayang kena berulang-alik jauh pergi ke tempat kerja baru setiap hari, kita tak ada pilihan lain tapi untuk hantar anak kita ke rumah pengasuh sementara tunggu Abang balik waktu petang untuk ambik anak.
A: Saya ada cadangan, apa kita jual barang kemas saya ni untuk tampung perbelanjaan tumah pengasuh? Saya tak kisah.
B: Cadangan tu memang baik, tapi Abang rasa lebih elok kita hantar emas ni ke kedai Ar-Rahnu. Nanti bila Abang dah dapat untung perniagaan dalam masa dua tiga bulan lagi, Abang akan tebus balik barang kemas Sayang tu. Sayang pun tak rugi.
A: Menarik jugak idea tu, Abang. Saya ikut je cadangan Abang, asalkan kita dapat selesaikan masalah ni, InsyaAllah.
(Imaginary conversation)
A: Abang, even though I’ve got a new job, I think our expenses next month will increase because we’ll have to send our child to a babysitter. Before this, I worked from home, but now I have to go to the office.
B: I understand, Sayang. I’ve been thinking about that too. Since you’ll be commuting far to your new workplace every day, we don’t have any other choice but to send our child to the babysitter until I get back in the evening to pick them up.
A: I have a suggestion, what if we sell my jewelry to cover the babysitter’s expenses? I don’t mind.
B: That’s a good idea, but I think it’s better if we pawn the gold at Ar-Rahnu. Later, when I make some profit from the business in two or three months' time, I’ll redeem your jewelry back. That way, you won’t lose out.
A: That’s an interesting idea, Abang. I’ll go along with your suggestion, as long as we can solve this problem, God willing.
