Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich

Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich
Rayyan to the rice fields


Zahra was ready to go to school with her husband and son. Coinciding with that, Rayyan also came out of her home with her sports bike.


" Za, just be with brother" said Rayyan.


" Thank you, but Zahra is leaving with me." said Azzam.


" Ok, I'm ahead."


Rayyan was about to drive his bike but stopped when Rama called him.


" Papa, come!" shouted Rama.


" Want to come, Papa? Here, ride in front."


Rayyan welcomes the tiny body of Rama who runs towards him. He immediately sat the boy in front of him and immediately put his bike forward.


" Why did Rama become the same deck Bang Rayyan?"


" I don't know, maybe Rayyan wants to have a child of her own."


" Is... What the hell is that! Bang Rayyan has no wife."


" Have a wife, can I have another child?"


" Well... Uhh...!"


" Let's go, it's late." said Azzam.


Arriving at school, Rama was waiting in the parking lot with Rayyan. I don't know when to buy it, but Rama has brought a bag of snacks while eating bread.


" Dad, Mother...!" exclaim Rama.


" What snack is that, a lot of it?" sahut Azzam's.


" Bought with Papa, he said to play in the fields."


" Oh yeah, we're going to the rice field now. Mother and Papa also want to work." said Azzam.


" Assalamu'alaikum, Mother... Papa's..." Rama kissed the backs of his hands while smiling.


" Wa'alaikumsalam, baby..."


Azzam immediately drove his motorbike towards the rice field after Zahra and Rayyan entered. His son chattered here and there non-stop until he reached the rice field.


" Dad, watch cartoons."


" What cartoon? Later when it's home, there's no tv."


" But if you're the same, Om Kai can use a cell phone."


Azzam clucked in annoyance. It's fitting that his son felt at home with Kaivan all this time, it turns out he was told to play mobile phone.


" Must not toy cell phones hold, Ram. Om Kai don't believe, Rama learned to write and read."


" Said Om Kai can learn to write and read on a cell phone."


" Yeah, but it shouldn't take long to play."


" Yes, Dad."


Azzam sighed softly and gave his phone away from the boy crying and ended up asking to go home.


" You sit here, don't go anywhere. I want to meet Om Cahyo with Om Agus first." said Azzam.


Rama sits next to Jefri's warehouse so Azzam can keep an eye on him from afar.


" Assalamu'alaikum." said Azzam.


" Wa'alaikumsalam, mas Azzam" the workers replied.


" Is there a problem when I'm not going to the paddy field?"


" No, it's just gonna open up the land behind that warehouse, Mas."


" Tomorrow just buy a tool to plow the fields, if you use the old hoe" said Azzam.


" It's expensive, Mas. Want something new or used?" ask Agus.


" Don't know yet, then you two go to the city" Azzam told Agus and Cahyo.


" Yes, Mas."


" Now you two go to the barn. I have something to talk about."


While the others were planting chili, Agus and Cahyo followed Azzam to the warehouse. Azzam was still thinking of planting what in the garden behind the warehouse.


" Rama...! It's the same Dad...!" call Azzam to his son.


" Dad, open the snack." Rama ran with a cell phone and a bag of snacks.


" Us playing with his phone, Mommy will be angry." Azzam said.


After this Azzam will scold Kaivan who has taught his son to play mobile phones when he was a toddler. Azzam and Zahra never allowed their son to hold it.


Rama climbed into Azzam's lap and ate snacks after handing his cell phone to his father.


" When are you going to Grandpa's house again?" ask Rama.


" Later if Mommy has her work holiday."


" Drink, Dad."


Azzam gave him the drink he had prepared from home. After that he dropped Rama from his lap while in the love of toys so as not to continue whining.


Azzam clucked in annoyance when he heard the name of his half-brother called. Why does the boy even ask Kaivan about the end of this?


" Om Kai's also working, Ram."


After Rama was busy playing with his car, Azzam is now focused on talking to Agus and Cahyo.


" Are you really healthy? Don't force it if it's still sick." said Azzam.


" It's healthy, Mom. We are ready to work again" Agus said.


" Yes, later come to the city and open an account to save the money yesterday."


" That's really 50 million, Mom?"


" Why...? If it's less then I'll ask the same person again."


" No, Mas. That's more than enough, we don't want to take advantage of the situation" said Cahyo.


" I know, besides, I don't know that guy either. Said he was Zahra's friend back in town."


" Sir Zahra, how can you know people like that, huh? Though Mbak Zahra people are quiet and impressed to close themselves." said Agus.


" Where do I know, years of living with him I could not know him well" said Azzam.


" Eh, I'm talking about Zahra!" azzam again


Agus and Cahyo chuckled softly at Azzam who grumbled to himself after talking about his wife.


When Azzam was about to say back, Rayyan arrived with Zahra still in neat clothes after teaching.


" Assalamu'alaikum." Zahra and Rayyan said.


" Na'alaikumsalam."


" Dec, are you home? It was only half ten." asked Azzam.


" There was a meeting at school, the children came home half-nine" replied Zahra.


" Zam, can I go down to the paddy field, right? Curious about trying to grow crops." said Rayyan.


" Could, just go with the workers there. Incidentally they are planting chili seeds." said Azzam.


Rayyan seemed so excited that she did not care about her clothes that would get dirty. The man immediately approached the workers.


" Good day, sir. Can I come help? It's my first time to go to the rice fields." said Rayyan.


" This teacher is from the city, not used to this kind of work. It's better not to, it'll get dirty on his clothes."


" It's okay, sir. Who knows, one day I will be a farmer."


" Is it true Mr. Rayyan wants to stop being a teacher? Want to move to town again?"


" Yes, Sir. The work there can't be left."


While talking while planting chili seeds, Rayyan suddenly shouted while running as fast as possible.


" Yet....!!!" shouted Rayyan.


" Azzaammm...! Tolodnggg...!"


Zahra and Azzam immediately ran over when they heard Rayyan's cry. All thought maybe Rayyan was hit by a sharp object or injured because of something dangerous.


" Riyan...! Are you okay?" azzam panicked.


" Sister why...?" Zahra.


The workers who were beside Rayyan were also confused by the man's behavior. There was nothing bad that happened to Rayyan.


" Zam, yuk's home?" whining Rayyan with breath gasping - puffing.


" Say what was it?"


Agus and Cahyo also panicked to see Rayyan who looked frightened. What made Rayyan cry hysterically like that?


" Just...! Tell me what's wrong with you?" azzam CCS.


" That, Zam. Right there, I saw something move - motion."


" What is moving - motion?"


" There...!" Rayyan pointed towards the direction where he had planted earlier.


Azzam was silent for a moment as if he was thinking something. But not for long, he remembered something and immediately laughed loudly.


" Athaghfirullah, Ray...! You're still scared...?" tease Azzam.


" What's afraid, Mom?" ask Zahra.


" Rayyan's afraid of worms..." Azzam looked at Rayyan's pale face but couldn't help but laugh.


Rayyan who was afraid and embarrassed immediately went with his bike because he did not want Azzam to continue to taunt him. Unfortunately, he promised never to go into the fields again.
