Suffering Becomes Happiness
Chapter 10
Incidentally registration is now open, and om Robert told me to immediately number there and at the same time bring five more friends.
And for the residence...!! We can occupy Robert's house. It just so happens that Robert has 2 houses side by side, and one is not per occupant.
So we're gonna occupy the house.
Then Adit took out a MAP from the bag he carried and then handed it to Mr. Hartono.
Then Mr. Hartono asked....
"What's this...??"
And Adit answered....
"That's the complete data about the address: "University" "home om Robert" profile om Robert" and the official data of the registration letter at the University, the, signed by Robert and the Rector there.
Then Mr. Hartono read and scrutinized the data carefully.
And indeed the data is very complete about the profile of the Lecturer "Robert" along with the detailed address "University" and Robert's house with all his photos.
And Mr. Hartono also checked the legality of the letters and all that was right and legal.
After reading and checking the data, then Mr. Hartono asked....
"So for this continuation how is Adit.?"
Then Adit answered.....
"So here's Om, if Icha agrees and wants to study there with us, then we have to sign the letter and we do too. Then Adit will send the letter to California, as a sign of proof that we are going to college there. So the letter after it is signed, just Adit photograph it and Adit will send it there.
And there are Robert and the Rector himself who will receive the data. So the nature of this registration is the registration "ONLINE" Om.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono asked again....
"In addition to the signing so let alone the requirements that must be completed....
Adit answered....
"As usual Om, namely: "family card photocopy" "KTP photocopy" and "birth certificate"
Then Mr. Hartono told Sumiatun's mother to take the required letters. While Icha directly signed the registration letter earlier.
And after all these letters were taken by Sumiatun's mother, they were photographed simultaneously with the letter signed by Icha. Then sent to the official website of CALIFORNIA OF UNIVERSITY by email. As Adit has sent the data of himself and his four friends before.
And Adit also sent the photo to his om in California, namely: "Robert."
After the photo was sent, Adit said....
"All right, Om..!! aunt...!! and Icha...!! I have sent the photo via the official website via email, and I have also sent the photo to Robert. And for the next let papa later contact Robert to immediately respond to this registration, and all of you give news about it as soon as possible. So om...!! aunt...!! and Icha...!! waiting for news from me.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said to Adit....
"Well, Adit, we believe in Adit..!! But I want it to Adit's son...!! About when can the news be received from nak Adit.??"
Then Adit answered....
"God willing, within one week, the news has come. Anyway if the news has come, then Adit will immediately call Om. So then Adit ask for mobile phone number om and Icha.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono and Icha gave his MOBILE number to Adit, and Adit saved their MOBILE number.
A moment later Adit and his friends immediately said goodbye to everyone. Then Adit said....
"Well then "Om" Icha" and auntie" we say go home first..!!"
"Assynolodet.!!"
Then everyone answered....
"Girlap.!!!"
Then they all got out of Mr. Hartono's house, and headed to the car and immediately left for home.
While Mr. Hartono" Icha" and Sumiatun's mother" drove them to the yard.
Adit's house and his four friends are outside the city in the area where the Icha campus used to be. And their houses were all in the city. Although their homes are not close together, they often gather together. While Icha is the only house farthest from the five of them, because Icha itself is in the village. So if they want to contact Icha directly, it seems a bit difficult because they are far apart. So if they want to contact Icha only often by phone. Likewise with Icha if you want to contact them only by phone.
After the guest came home, then everyone went into the house. And a moment later Sumarni's mother had apparently prepared lunch for all of them. And it just so happens that it's lunch time. Then they all immediately gathered in the dining room including Mr. Joko who began this morning to take care of the catfish pond behind Mr. Hartono's house. And they all had lunch together.
In the dining room Icha thought of his plan to study abroad that was discussed earlier. There are feelings of pleasure and happiness mixed in his mind, making Icha become optimistic and eager to pursue his ideals. Because Icha thinks he should make both parents feel proud, happy, and happy. So Icha must successfully pursue his career and ideals. Moreover, he is still young in the journey is still long, and again in terms of his ability in the field of education, he feels capable. And again plus the support of the family including Mr. Hartono who supports himself fully, it all makes Icha very optimistic and more excited for all of it.
Icha is indeed a lecture that previously majored in law and so for the study this time Icha will vacuum take the major. But if his 5 friends were all different. Some majored in "law" "economy" "social" and "literature. But if Adit himself he majored in religion. And Adit is known "good" "smart" "bull" and besides he is the son of a rich lecturer. But even so, he is not arrogant, loyal to friends, good in association, and the person is very polite, and obedient to worship. While they were still studying at their previous university, only Icha and Adit received scholarships to continue their studies. So even though they continue their studies to California, they are not so worried about financing problems, because they have been borne by the government. While the other 4 friends, of course they use their own funds. But even though they did not all receive scholarships, they were compact and not envious of each other. Being together is everything to all of them.
Then Mr. Hartono said to Icha in the dining room....
"Yush...!! You are the spirit, son...!! We all support Icha. So Icha should optimistically pursue her goals, and stay focused forward. Make us all proud" make us all happy" and make us all happy. Because our only hope is Icha...!! So Icha do not think about other things in this house later after being abroad...!! If Ica miss us later Icha can video CALL us here. And one more message papa against Icha, Icha must be careful there, take care of yourself, get along well with your friends, and keep together between you and your friends...!! And more importantly Do not forget to pray, son..!! And keep the five prayers there, and pray for all of us here, and we will pray for you there...!!"
Then Icha answered....
"Yes Pah... Icha will always remember papa's message.!!"
Then the mummy said....
"Yes, Son...!! What your father's words are. Don't think of us here, focus on your education, and be careful there. That's Mom's message to you.
Then Icha answered....
"Yes Ma... Icha will always remember Mom's message.!!"
Then Sumarni's mother and Joko Pak added....
"Yes right Icha what your father and your mother said...!! Auntie and om Joko are also so, we are proud of Icha. In addition to the pounding of aunty "beautiful" "smart" and have high ambitions, aunty feels happy and proud...!! Our one prayer towards Icha may Icha successfully pursue his ideals, and congratulations while there, also may be healthy always....!!"
Everyone heard the words of prayer from Sumarni's mother.....
Pronounce...."Amen.!!!"
A moment later Sumiatun's mother said to Mr. Hartono....
"Then we must immediately take care of the passport for Icha dong mas...!!"
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Yes Ma'am.Tomorrow we go to the city's Immigration office to take care of the passport.!!"
Then after they finished lunch, then Sumarni's mother immediately cleaned the dishes and glasses on the table, then brought to the back to be washed immediately.
And a moment later, suddenly Ica PHONE rang..... And after seeing it turns out that the phone is Rebecca Icha's friend who was here this morning with other friends visiting his house. And then Icha picked up her PHONE....
" Hello Assalamualaikum.!!" Icha....
"Goddessam.!!" Answer Rebecca.
Then they have a dialogue through the MOBILE phone using the words of children today. Because they are all with their friends if they talk using the word today.
Yes understand...!! His name is young, his speech is somewhat more modern than the language of the parents. And and those words were devoted to the conversation between their fellows only. But if they speak to an older person, or a teacher, and their parents, they are very polite and use good and correct language. And among the many of his fellow students, only the five of them were very familiar with Icha. Because they all appreciate each other. Plus they are one goal, and also they are all good children and not niko-neko. Whether in education, friendship, or daily life. They are all always positive-minded and devout. That is the key to their intimacy and togetherness.
Then Rebecca said....
"Eh Icha...!! what else do you.?
"I'm done eating.!!"
Answer Icha....
Then Rebecca asked Icha....
"Eh Icha's... I want it Ama you, we go abroad...!! We have to use our passports...!! I don't think at all... What about you yourself Icha.??"
Then Icha answered....
"Ah... you Rebecca is like an elementary school kid...!! Yes it is the lifetime of banana leaves...!!" Answer Icha while laughing.
Then Rebecca said....
"Yes, I'm so dizzy, why can't I think like that.!!"
Then Icha said....
"If I had been talking and bokap had talked about it, and they plan to take care of the passport tomorrow...!!"
Then Rebecca asked Icha....
"Where's the passport to Icha.??"
Then Icha answered....
"To the KUA office....!! "Ledek Icha to Rebecca" Yes to the Immigration office.....!! You want to marry...!! "Ledek Icha again."
Then Rebecca said....
"O you Icha...!! You little lu...!! look out for you...!!" Rebecca said with a laugh.
"Yes already if that is tomorrow I will take a bokap and nyokap to take care of your passport like you tuh.!!"
Then Icha told Rebecca....
"Eh Rebecca don't forget, tell your other friends too. You're not afraid of your thoughts either....!!"
Then Rebecca answered....
"Okay Icha...!! If so, yes.?"
"Assynolodet.!!"
Then Icha answered the greeting....
"Goddessam.!!"
To the next day after breakfast, then "Icha" Mr. Hartono" and Sumiatun's mother" immediately get ready to leave to take care of the passport to the Immigration office in the city.
And after everything was done, then Sumiatun's mother said goodbye to Sumarni and Joko.
"Sister..!! We'll go first take care of the passport for Icha to the city. So we leave the house to Joko's brother and sister.
Later if there's anything immediately call us sister.!!"
Then Sumarni's mother and Mr. Joko replied....
"Well deck..be careful on the way yes.!!"
Then they all said goodbye and said greetings to Ms. Sumarni and Pak Joko....
"Assynolodet.!!"
Then they answered the greeting....
"Goddessam.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono and all of them immediately got out of the house and headed to the car in the garage of the house, and then they immediately left to go to the city to take care of the passport for Icha to the Imigrasi office.
Passport to the office is the passport for study.
After some time they had finished taking care of the passports in the office, and they immediately returned home.
And when he arrived at home then suddenly Icha PHONE rang.
And Icha immediately saw who called him. And this time it turns out that the one who called him was Icha's friend who named: "Anggun."
So Icha immediately raised his CELLPHONE while saying hello....
" Hello Assalamualaikum.!!"
Then Grace answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
Then Icha asked Anggun....
"Eh... Elu Graceful....!! What did you call me.??"
Then Grace answered....
"Yes Icha, uh...!! Rebecca called me earlier, and she gave me my passport. I was so confused because I didn't think about it at all. And Rebecca told me that she called you about this. So I want to know directly, and all you want to go to the lu did you already take care of the passport or not yet...??"
Then Icha answered....
"Yes right, Rebecca called me yesterday, and she had passport issues with me. If yesterday I have not taken care of, because yesterday the plan to California was agreed....!! But if now I've been run to take care of the passport, because I just had the passport tour ama bokap and nyokap me to the office Imiggrasi.!!"
Then Anggun said....
"Believe me ama you Icha...!! lu tuh ya, it's great...! Every time there is a direct plan just dijesin I'm amazed ama lu Icha.!!"
Then Icha said....
"Yes...!! We're messing around with California, aren't we...!! California is overseas, gun...!! You think we're going out of town, just haphazardly you...!!" "Ledek Icha to graceful."
Then Anggun said....
"Your son said...!! You, look out for you...!!"
"Gorgeous joke to Icha while laughing."
Then Anggun added....
"Yes deh Icha, if so I will call others, so I can both take care of the passport. If not today tomorrow is also okay, there is still plenty of time to take care of the passport.!!"
Then Icha said....
"Yes, yes, the spirit...!! Good luck with your success, and greetings to others from me yes.!!"
Then Anggun replied while saying hello....
"Yes, if so, yes.!!"
"Assynolodet.!!"
Then Icha answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
The next day while waiting for news from Adit, Mr. Hartono and the others did their usual daily activities.
In addition to building the melt pond, apparently Mr. Harsono has other desires. That is building a fence behind his house, because the fence behind his house is not on the wall but only a fence in the form of a makeshift fence. It is made from planted logs, then given bamboo which is split, and nailed to the wooden trunk. Therefore Mr. Hartono plans to build the fence into a permanent fence. Therefore the plan was initiated to all, including Sumarni and Joko.
Because after all they will get involved in the hassles in the business.!! Therefore, before the implementation began, Mr. Joko told them about the plan early. So that they can better understand and understand what and how the plan is after it starts to be done.
Then Mr. Hartono immediately called them all, and gathered in the living room of the house. Then after they had all gathered together, Mr. Hartono spoke of his intentions to all of them.
Mr. Hartono said....
"Look...!! there's something I want to talk about.
I have a plan to build a fence behind this house, because the fence has not been built like the one on the side and front of this house. Actually, the desire has been planned for a long time, but constrained by other activities. So now there is a chance, I want to carry out the plan. Anyway, come to think of it, outside the fence of the backyard is someone else's yard. So I feel bad about the owner of the yard, because if we plant the wooden rod of the fence, it will be bigger. While the fence is the boundary of this yard, with the yard of the other person. So if the fence is a wall or we permanent it, it will forever be a clear and definite boundary. So I myself will not feel worried anymore, that the fence will eat the land of others....!!" "What do you think.??"
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"If I agree, then...!! Because in addition to the fence is the boundary of the yard, we are safer if the fence is permanent. Besides it looks neater and more pleasing to the eye.!!"
Then Icha spoke....
"Yes pah Icha agreed with papa's plan...!! Besides, if the fence is permanent not only looks good, but we will be safer from people who mean no good. Because actually the back fence of the house is very vulnerable from bad things, including thieves who intend evil. Yes, not pa...!?"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"Yes..you're right Icha.!!"
Then Mr. Joko added...
"Yes that's right deck...!! I agree with the plan. If the fence is built, we do not worry anymore if for example we leave items such as "pacule" "lead" and others in this backyard, because it is no longer visible from the outside.
Then Sumarni's mother asked Mr. Hartono....
"When will the fence deck be built.??"
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Faster better Bak yu.!!"
Indeed, the backyard of Mr. Hartono's house is very spacious. Because even though it has been cut with the manufacture of catfish ponds before, the land is still large. Because indeed the yard of Mr. Hartono if in total area is: 50 square meters, plus "front yard" and "side."
And Mr. Hartono's own 2-story house measuring 9 by 20 meters.
The front yard is 10 m wide, and the backyard is 20 meters wide. While the side courtyards are each remaining 20 and a half meters.
And not just that.!! Mr. Hartono also has a lot of money saved in the bank. Because it was once the parents of Mr. Hartono himself only had his only child, Mr. Hartono. And Mr. Hartono's parents have a very large coffee garden, while the house occupied by Mr. Hartono's parents first, yes the house that is occupied by Mr. Hartono now. But what was not built as it is now. So before Mr. Hartono's parents died, Mr. Hartono's parents bequeathed all the land, including his coffee garden to Mr. Hartono himself. Then after Mr. Hartono's parents died, then the coffee garden by Mr. Hartono sold and his land, because Mr. Hartono himself was constrained by the management of the coffee land.!! So after being sold later by Mr. Hartono the money in the building of a 2-story house that is now occupied, and the rest is saved in the bank.
Farida's mother came from out of town. And the house itself was built by Mr. Hartono together with Ms. Farida when they were both young, and they were both childless. So regarding the inheritance of Mr. Hartono does not exist. So it is fitting that Hartono will bequeath all of this to Icha, although Icha was originally an adopted child, but now he is the son of Mr. Hartono, because his mother Icha "mother Sumiatun" has officially become the wife of Mr. Hartono himself.
Moments later, Mr. Hartono immediately discussed with Mr. Joko about the material needs for the construction of the fence.
Mr. Hartono said to Mr. Joko....
"How about mas, what are the materials we need for the construction of this fence.?"
Mr. Joko replied....
"Yes we are the same as the time of making the pool a few days ago that's the deck, yes we have to shop for materials such as: "sand" "brick" "cement" "lime" and others....!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"Well then mas, tomorrow morning mas to the building store to buy the materials needed for the construction of the fence.!!
Then Mr. Hartono asked Mr. Joko....
"For the workers themselves how mas, how many people are needed to work on the fence this time.?"
Then Joko replied....
"Maybe for our own workers it is enough just to recruit two artisans and two handyman helpers.!! So it's all 4 people. I think that's enough. And for his own recruitment, later I will recruit some workers who the other day of work here when the pool was made deck.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono immediately told Mr. Joko to recruit the workers....
"Alright then mas, now you just directly recruit the workers, let tomorrow they directly work here.!!"
"All right then the deck of the mas is leaving soon.!!" Said Mr. Joko....
Then Mr. Joko immediately took a shower and changed clothes, then took his motorcycle and set out to recruit the workers.
After Pak Joko finished recruiting to the workers, then Mr. Joko immediately went home to Mr. Hartono, because it was already afternoon. And Mr. Joko did not stop by first to the house of his son and daughter-in-law, even though the workers were from the village.
Arriving at Mr. Hartono's house, then Mr. Joko was asked by Mr. Hartono....
"How come...!! Got those jobs.?" Ask Mr. Hartono.....
Then Joko replied....
"Alhamdulillah can deck..!! Mas has recruited 4 workers, and all of them tell them that tomorrow morning they immediately leave here, and immediately do the work.!!"
Then Mr. Joko went straight to the catfish pond, to immediately feed the Lulu. Because it is time for the catfish to be fed.
While Mr. Hartono then sat in the back yard seat, while drinking coffee accompanied by the mother Sumiatun and Icha.
The next day at exactly 06.30 am, the workers who were recruited yesterday by Mr. Joko, all came to Mr. Hartono's house.
They were all greeted by Mr. Hartono and Mr. Joko in the courtyard of the house. Then Mr. Hartono and Mr. Joko immediately showed the fence in the backyard, about the boundaries that will be excavated for the fence foundation itself.
Because the fence itself is still intact, with its wood plants and bamboo bars among them, then before the excavation of the fence, the fence was done, wood plants and bamboo bars must be cleaned first.
But before they all do the work, then Mr. Hartono and Pak Joko immediately invite them all to breakfast first that has been prepared by Sumarni's mother.
And then they all immediately had breakfast and were accompanied by Mr. Joko.
While Mr. Hartono headed to the rear fence area while looking around the yard, and apparently Mr. Hartono in his mind came up with a plan. In addition to building the fence, Mr. Hartono apparently will use the vacant land in the left corner of the pool, to build a resting place or a place to relax. While in the right corner of the pool, Mr. Hartono took the initiative to build a view with a fountain vehicle.
