Yaya melepaskan nafas lega. Perbincangannya dengan pihak hotel telah membuahkan hasil. Walaupun kepenatan, beliau tetap ke pejabat. Semangatnya kian berkobar-kobar setelah salah sebuah hotel di Kuala Lumpur memintanya membekalkan kuih bulan kepada hotel tersebut.

Yaya teringat akan kenangan lima tahun yang lalu, permulaan kejayaannya pada hari ini.

"Yaya, tolonglah buatkan kakak kuih bulan. Bukan kakak tidak mahu membelinya di kedai tetapi kakak mahu merasa kuih bulan daripada air tangan Yaya," rayu Shima, kakak Yaya.

"Baiklah, kak. Yaya akan cuba membuatnya. Yaya akan membuat kuih bulan yang paling sedap untuk kakak," kata Yaya kepada kakaknya sambil tersenyum.

Yaya memutarkan rim kerusi rodanya perlahan-lahan. Dia menuju ke bilik lalu membuka komputer riba. Yaya menghubungi rakannya dari negara China. Rakannya mengajar Yaya cara-cara membuat kuih bulan.

Setelah membeli semua bahan yang diperlukan. Yaya mula membuat kuih bulan berpandukan resipi yang diberikan oleh rakannya itu. Setelah siap, Yaya menghidangkan kuih bulan tersebut kepada kakaknya yang sedang sarat mengandung.

"Wah, sedaplah kuih bulan ini! Terima kasih. Yaya. Pandai Yaya membuatnya. Nanti kakak akan memuat naik gambar kuih bulan ini ke laman sosial. Kakak hendak tunjukkannya kepada rakan-rakan kakak," kata Shima kepada Yaya.

Pada keesokan harinya, rakan-rakan kakaknya datang ke rumah. Sekali lagi Yaya menghidangkan kuih bulan kepada tetamunya. Yaya berasa bangga setelah dipuji oleh mereka. Sebelum pulang, beberapa orang tetamunya telah menempah kuih bulan daripadanya.

Dari situlah, perusahaan kuih bulan miliknya bermula. Tidak lama kemudian, kuih bulan buatannya tular di media sosial. Akhimya, perusahaannya mula berkembang dan mempunyai beberapa buah cawangan kedai menjual kuih bulan. Kini, kuih bulan buatan Yaya semakin popular. Kuih bulan tersebut boleh dibeli secara dalam talian di kuih-mulh.com.my.

KUIH BULAN YAYA

Shima stands beside Yaya who sits in her wheelchair, both in a cozy living room. Shima gently rests her hands on her pregnant belly with a hopeful expression as she asks for mooncakes. Yaya looks up at her sister with a warm, enthusiastic smile. Sunlight streams through nearby windows, creating a tender atmosphere between the sisters.

Yaya tersenyum ketika kakaknya Shima menghampiri dengan permintaan istimewa. "Yaya, tolong buatkan kuih bulan untuk saya," pinta Shima, sambil meletakkan tangannya pada perutnya yang hamil. "Saya ingin rasa kuih buatan tanganmu." Yaya mengangguk dengan bersemangat walaupun di atas kerusi roda.
