A KIND YOUNG MAN
One day, there was a story. It was inspirated from the real story I have
ever known.
The
story was about a young and handsome man. He worked in a big export furniture
company in a big city, Semarang. The person went to the company by bus,
sometime went there by motorcycle. The man had two children, a boy and a girl.
The firs daughter was at grade 6 of an elementary school, while the little
brother was still a baby. The man was very patient; his life was not good
enough. He tried to do working better and better for his family in order that
their life would change.
Day
by day, week by week, month by month and year by year, he passed. His first
work position was as a Quality Control person, and then few years later, he was
promoted to be a Quality Control Supervisor. Because of his hard working and
loyalty, he got this position. Sometimes he went home late at night instead
till morning.
One
day, while he wanted to go to his office, in a bus, he sat beside an old woman
and a little girl; she was about grade 4 student. The girl cried in the bus,
suddenly the old woman said to me, “Excuse me, sir. Where do you want to go?”
to my office.” He said. And then the man said to her, “Where do you want to go,
mom?” She said, “I don’t know because I never understand where my son goes now.
He is this little girl’s father.
Not
long after that, the man decided to accompany the old woman where to go. The
old woman asked the man to Johar, the traditional market in Semarang. After
walking for a few minutes along the bank, the old woman yelled with a loud
sound, “Hi,.my son! Hi……………….my son!
The
man then turned around and look at the old woman and said, “Hi……..mom!
Hi……….mom!
Then
the old woman ran away towards the man and suddenly they embraced each other. The
got into the stall, because the man was a chicken noodle’s seller. The man
stayed there with his wife, while his daughter lived with his mother.
After
the person who accompanied the old woman found them, he directly asked for
leaving away from the area. He hurried up to go out from the small stall and
went away. Suddenly, the old woman called him up, “Hi,…….. come here, please!”
Do
you know what did the woman do?
Exciting,
the woman gave an envelope of sum of money
for him, but he refused it because he helped them sincerely. Once, the young
man said, “Mom, you have met your son, and this little girl has found her
father, so let me go and thanks for anything from you but I think this money
will be very useful for you and your family.”
