Suffering Becomes Happiness
Chapter 11
Then after Mr. Joko and all the workers finished eating, then Mr. Hartono immediately called Mr. Joko to the corner of the backyard.
Then Mr. Hartono said to Mr. Joko....
"Look at...!! I took the initiative, in addition to the construction of this fence, I want in the left corner here, how about a permanent resting place or place to relax...!!
While in the right corner there, I took the initiative to make the scenery with the fountain rides, in order to add beauty from this page...!!
What about mas...?"
Ask Mr. Hartono to Mr. Joko...
Then Joko replied....
"That's great that's the deck...!! The plan was very good according to the. Because in addition to adding to the beautiful scenery in the area here, this resting place is useful at any time if there are guests from far away, or buyers or fish traders who will buy adek fish later, there is a place to stay or relax. So we're not bothered to find a place. I totally agree with the plan. Especially in the right corner there is a place of beautiful scenery so anyone who visits here will definitely feel at home and happy..!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"All right then...!! But for the manufacture itself we vacuum first to the fence first maybe yes mas...!! And so also with the workers, maybe we do not need to add the workers again, so they are enough, because this development itself we are not to milk. After all, let them be the maximum in doing their work...!!"
Then Joko said....
"Oh yes well deck if indeed the workers do not need to be added yes enough this I agree with the opinion of the sister...!!
Then Mr. Hartono immediately told Mr. Joko to shop for materials....
"All right then..!! Mas Joko now immediately set out to buy materials for the manufacture of this fence, and this is the money...!! Later if there is anything directly my phone just mas.!!"
Then Joko replied....
"All right then deck..!! Mas immediately left for the building store to shop for the necessary ingredients...!!"
Then Mr. Joko immediately set out to buy materials. While Mr. Hartono directed the workers to the fence area to be built, while showing the boundaries of the excavation to be excavated. But before they did the digging, Mr. Hartono told them to clean the fence first. And the workers immediately carried out the orders of Mr. Hartono by cutting down all the logs planted before, then collected in one place in the area neatly.
And Not long after..!! The items bought by Mr. Joko have apparently arrived. These items are "sand" "brick" "cement" "lime" and others. Then the items were immediately dropped off in the area.
While Mr. Joko who accompanied the items then immediately took the goods down and asked neatly.
After the fence cleaning is done...!! So the craftsmen began to take measurements. And after the measurement is completed, then continued with the excavation of the fence foundation. And after the excavation was completed, the helpers began to mix cement and sand with lime, to immediately install bricks on the foundation of the fence.
The work is under direct supervision by Mr. Joko who has been authorized to take care of the work. In addition to taking care of the catfish pond which has become the main job of Pak Joko.
While Mr. Hartono sat in the back yard chair, accompanied by the mother of Sumiatun and Icha.
While Sumarni's mother was busy cooking in the kitchen. In addition to cooking for the needs of Mr. Hartono and his family, Ms. Sumarni also cooked for the needs of the workers.
Incidentally for the plan of Mr. Hartono who wants to make a place per rest or place to relax in the left corner of the backyard, and at the same time the view with the fountain rides on the right corner, and the view, it has not been told to his wife "sumiatun's mother and Icha." So on that occasion Mr. Hartono talked to both of them, while sitting casually in the back yard chair.
So Mr. Hartono spoke to both of them....
"Look, ma'am, and Icha...!! I plan to make a resting place or a relaxing place in the left corner of the page. While in the right corner of the page, I plan to create a view with a fountain rides, in order to add a beautiful atmosphere and scenery...!!"
" what do you think.??"
Ask Mr. Hartono to both....
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"I agree with you..!! Besides we are often in the front yard of the house, we are no less often in the backyard...!! After all, in this backyard is more active, because here there is a catfish pond. So if you plan to build what you planned earlier, that's even better..!! So we will often be in this backyard, because it will feel more comfortable...!!"
"Is that so Icha....??" Ask Sumiatun's mother to Icha....
Then Icha answered....
"Yes, pah...!! That's right what Mom said....!! Icha agrees with papa's plan...!! yes.. count-count than we are far refreshing looking for scenery to everywhere, we better benefit aja yard of our house, designed so beautifully, with a beautiful, to be pleasing and comfortable in this place. So Icha strongly agrees with papa's plan, and Icha is proud...!! Papa is an accomplished architect. Icha don't think it's the same papa....!!"
Say Icha with spoiled....
Then Mr. Hartono responded to Icha's remarks....
"Loh yes dong....!! Who then...!! Whose dad is dong.....!?"
Ledek Mr. Hartono to Icha....
Hearing the words of Mr. Hartono, the mother of Sumiatun and Icha laughed.
After a while later, from the kitchen room Ibu Sumarni heard calling Icha to ask for help to bring out breakfast for the workers....
"Yush...!! Come here for a second...!! Please Auntie bring the workers breakfast to the backyard...!!"
Hearing the call from his aunt Icha immediately approached the tantenya in the kitchen room, then followed by Sumiatun's mother to help bring out breakfast for the workers.
Together they brought breakfast for the workers to the back porch of the house.
And after everything was complete, the workers were summoned by Mr. Joko and Mr. Hartono to have lunch first. Then after they were called, the workers all ate together, and were accompanied by Mr. Joko and Mr. Hartono.
They eat with the workers.
Then after they had finished lunch, then rest for a while, then Mr. Hartono immediately invited them to bathe first and pray zuhur. And they immediately took a shower to the bathroom that had been available in the backyard of Mr. Hartono's house alternately. And they prayed alms in the back yard of Pak Hartono's house.
Then after an hour they rested, then they immediately resumed their work. Then after 04:00 p.m., they all went home. And so on....
After a while passed the place at 19 WIB, suddenly Icha PHONE rang. Then Icha immediately saw who was calling.
And after being seen it turns out that the call is Adit Icha's friend. Indeed the news from Adit is the most awaited by Icha and Pak Hartono. Because if Adit calls, it means it's important to know about their study to California.
So before Icha raised his MOBILE PHONE, Icha immediately called Mr. Hartono to listen to the news from Adit.
Only then did Icha call Mr. Hartono....
"Bah...!! Papah...!! Come here for a minute pa...!! There's a call from Adit...!!"
Mr. Hartono who was upstairs and heard a call from Icha, then immediately approached Icha in the downstairs living room.
Then Mr. Hartono asked....
"What's the Icha.?"
"This is Adit calling pah...!!"
Answer Icha....
Then Icha raised his CELLPHONE while saying hello....
" Hello Assalamualaikum.!!"
Then Adit answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
"How are you.!!" Adit....
" I'm fine.!! You yourself how.!!" Icha Reply....
"Gue is fine.!!" Answer Adit...
"What about..!! Have you heard yet.?" Ask Icha....
Then Adit answered....
"Yes that's why now I'm calling you..!! So gini, this afternoon WEBSITE came to my email, I keep reading and it turns out the result is "Alhamdulillah"we all accepted Icha I didn't believe it so I was afraid of lying it turns out after I really meticulously turned out the website was genuine and indeed came from the official website of "THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA."
Then after that I immediately called Robert to make sure, and at the same time asked for clarification of our schedule to go there.
Then Robert said that we could leave next Monday for California.!!"
"How are you ready Icha." Ask Adit....
Then Icha answered....
"Okay I'm ready Adit.!! But what about the other friends, have they told you all.??"
Then Adit answers Icha's question....
"Udah just now.!! I've told all of them. It's just you that I just told you about this
Then Icha said....
"Yes, thank you very much Adit for the information is indeed this news that I've been waiting for starting yesterday once again THANK YOU very Adit...!!"
Then Adit answered....
"Okay together Icha..!! Okay if so then Icha, we'll call again sometime.!!" "Assynolodet.!!"
Then Icha answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
After Icha closed his PHONE, then Icha immediately bowed in gratitude while saying.... "Alhamdulillah" yes "Allah"..!! You have granted your servant's prayer... He cried and put his hands together. Then put both palms on his face.
Sumiatun's mother and Sumarni's mother who had also been there with Icha and Pak Hartono, they all spoke.... "Thank God" thank you, "God"..!! You have granted our prayers...!! Thank you, "God"...!! Putting both of his hands up.
Then after that, Icha immediately woke up from his gratitude, and immediately hugged them one by one while crying happily and happily. He said to them one by one. "Pah Ica accepted Pah..!! Ica's mother accepted..!! Aunt Ica accepted..!!"
They also one by one embraced Icha while congratulating Icha....
"Yes congratulations, son, yes...!!" As they stroked Icha's head lovingly.
They all sat back in the living room.
It just so happens that the scheduled departure to California is next Monday, while that day is Monday. So there's a one-week gap for Icha's departure to America. So they talked about what and how it was related to Ica's departure to America.
They talked about it until late at night and in the end Mr. Hartono told them all to rest immediately.
And after they finished breakfast, then immediately the workers immediately carry out their duties. That is building the rear fence of Mr. Hartono's house. While Mr. Joko directly takes care of catfish as usual, including feeding the fish.
While Mr. Hartono.!! Mother Sumiatun.!! And Icha.!!
They all gathered in the middle room upstairs. They were talking about something very important.
Yes of course...!! How not.!! Three more days are exactly 40 days after Farida's mother's death. So Mr. Hartono deliberately talked about it to his wife and son.
Hartono spoke to them...
"So this is Mom, and Icha... Three more days exactly 40 days from Farida's mother's death. So we have to prepare everything for this purpose, because later we invite some neighbors to know together in this house. So we must immediately prepare everything for the implementation of the event. And I hope you immediately plan what is needed including shopping for groceries for these needs...!!" "How's Mom.?"
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"How about we involve brother Sumarni mas.!! Because after all he is more experienced about this.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"Oh yeah it's even better..!! At first, I will involve Ms. Yu with us, but since Ms. Yu again bothered to give breakfast to the workers, so I expressed my intention.!!"
Then Sumiatun's mother told Icha to immediately call Sumarni's mother who happened to be in the kitchen of the basement....
"Icha hurry and call your appointment here.!!"
"Good ma'am..!! Answer Icha.!!"
And soon Sumarni's mother came with Icha, then sat in a chair with them in the upper room.
Then Sumiatun's mother immediately told her brother about their plan that had been discussed.
Sumiatun's mother said to Sumarni's mother....
"Look at me.!! Incidentally 3 more days exactly 40 days of the death of Farida's mother. So we talked about this to prepare everything, including groceries and the need for the implementation of the event. Because we're gonna invite some neighbors, to come together in this house. So intentionally we engaged brother to help think about what and how to smooth the event, including groceries.!!"
Then Sumarni's mother said....
"Then we start buying from now on deck.!! Because if not, we no longer have time to prepare everything...!!
Then Icha talk....
"Yes right Ma'am what aunt said just now.!! If not shopping now when else.!! The time has come.!! Plus we are now bothered with serving the workers behind.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"All right then.!! We'll be going to the market soon. Mba Yu better come with us shopping to the market, while Icha please take over the job in the kitchen first huh.!! Because after all, Mbak yu Sumarni is more understanding about what to buy for these needs...!!" How's Icha.??"
Alright Pah Icha is ready to replace aunt Sumarni in the kitchen while.!!"
Then Sumarni's mother said to Sumiatun....
"Well if so brother will tell mas Joko and at the same time say goodbye first deck.!!
"Yes...!!" Sumiatun's mother replied to Sumarni's mother.
Then after they are ready, then they all immediately go to the market by car to shop. While Icha replaced Sumarni's mother in the kitchen, to cook the needs of the workers who built a fence in the backyard of the house.
While Mr. Joko is also busy with his catfish pond behind the house while taking care of the workers, and watching for fear of any need to be purchased, or drinking water, cigarettes, etc, it's all under Mr. Joko's supervision.
After a while, there was lunch time for the workers. Then Icha immediately prepared breakfast for them, by removing the breakfast from the kitchen, then brought to the back porch of the house as usual. And after everything was ready, then Icha immediately told Pak Joko to call all the workers for breakfast. Then they were called by Mr. Joko and then they immediately ate lunch, and accompanied by Mr. Joko himself.
While Mr. Hartono and others still have not returned from the market, to shop for necessities for the 40-day procession of the death of Ms. Farida.
After a while, Mr. Hartono and the others had already returned home from the market, and were carrying a lot of groceries in the car. Then Icha who knew about it, immediately approached them, then helped bring down groceries from the car into the house.
And after these items have been brought into the house, then the items are addressed by Sumiatun's mother and Sumarni's mother.
Then Sumiatun's mother asked Sumarni....
"So this is what we want to mix, brother.?"
Then Sumarni's mother replied....
"We should mix the condiments first deck.!! Because the spice does not expire easily. If the others can catch up.!!"
Then they immediately mix the seasoning.
While Mr. Hartono went straight to the backyard of the house to see the work behind his house.
Then Mr. Hartono immediately met Mr. Joko, and asked Mr. Joko....
"How about you, if there is a shortage or there are items that we need to buy.!!"
Then Joko replied....
"Oh yes deck happens to be a stock of cement and thinning sand, I think we immediately buy the material.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"Well, then go to the building store to buy the goods, and here's the money.!! Later if there is anything directly my phone yes.!!"
"Well, deck.!!" Answer Mr. Joko.
Then Mr. Joko just went to the building store, to buy the materials in question.
Then Mr. Hartono immediately saw the results of the construction of the fence of his house. And the construction of the fence itself has reached 40% to be completed. So it still takes a few more days to finish the process. It was still not to the other work, including the manufacture of a resting place, and the fountain planned by Mr. Hartono before.
So to carry out the work, it will take more time and more cost . Because compared to the fence that is done now, it is still not how much. Because the resting place planned by Mr. Hartono is permanent.
While the fence itself is diameter: 3 meters high, while the length is 50 meters.
By installing barbed wire on it as a safety.
Soon the sand and cement bought by Mr. Joko to the building store had arrived, and immediately the sand and cement were taken down from the PICK UP car that carried it.
After some time later, because the time has shown at 04.00 pm, then all the workers immediately stop working. But before they left home, as usual they had breakfast first that had been prepared by Icha before.
Then everyone eats including Mr. Joko.
And after everything was finished eating, they just say goodbye to Mr. Hartono and Mr. Joko. While Mr. Joko himself went directly to the catfish pond, to feed the catfish. Then then Mr. Joko cleaned up the work tools left by the workers and stored them into one place. Then after that Mr. Joko immediately took a bath and salat asar then rested.
After some time has passed, it is not felt that the 40-day procession of Ms. Farida's death has arrived in time.The event will be held after Maghrib, Maghrib, while the family of Sumiatun's mother in the morning had begun to be busy with everything
While Mr. Joko as usual was busy with his job taking care of catfish ponds, and taking care of the workers behind the house.
Then Mr. Hartono spoke to Sumiatun's mother....
"Your..!! This event will be held later tonight after Maghrib, so now I have to make an invitation letter for the neighbors who will be invited to the event later tonight...!! So I asked my mom, how many people we'd invite from our neighbors""
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"It's true, mas..!! We must immediately make an invitation letter to be distributed to the neighbors we will invite. Regarding the invitation, I think, about 200 people and one person may be enough mas, to lead the event.!!"
"how's mas.?" Ask Sumiatun's mother....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Yes, okay, Mom.!! I agree with Mom's opinion. Then I will immediately make the invitation, and at the same time invite an ustad to lead the event later tonight. And I will soon spread the invitation to the neighbors that we will invite later tonight.
Then the mum said to Mr. Hartono....
"Alright mas, please if you want to take care of it. I'll be back doing my job in the kitchen, preparing everything for the night.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono immediately went to the printing press, to print an invitation letter of 200 pieces that will be distributed to the neighbors who will be invited.
Coincidentally the printing is not so far from Mr. Hartono's house. So Mr. Hartono did not take so long to print the invitation letter.
After a while, the invitation letter came. Then Mr. Hartono returned home before Mr. Hartono spread the invitation, and again spoke with Sumiatun's mother.
Then Mr. Hartono spoke to Sumiatun's mother....
"Lady.!! I'm done with the invitation letter.!! But before I spread this invitation letter, I have someone to ask mom.!!"
Then the mum said....
"Yes, mas.!! What do you want to ask mom.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"This is an invitation letter of 200 pieces.!! While we will have workers behind our homes, so it is not good if they are not invited.!! Keep on being my question" this invitation letter what is special for our neighbors, what a plus with our workers.!! How's Ms.?"
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"If according to Mom, it's mas.!! We recommend that the invitation is devoted to our neighbors only, while our workers in the back, simply told by telling them to come later tonight to this house only mas.!! "How about mas.?" Ask Sumiatun's mother....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"All right, Mom.!! Agree with Mom's opinion. Then I immediately spread this invitation and went to the house of Mr. Ustad, to invite him to lead the event later tonight.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono immediately set out to spread the invitation, and distributed one by one to his invited neighbors. And after the invitation was evenly distributed, do not forget Mr. Hartono then immediately went to the house of the ustad, and invited the ustad to lead the event later tonight at his home after Magrib.
After all the invitations were finished distributed by Mr. Hartono, and the ustad was already invited, then Mr. Hartono immediately went home.
And after Mr. Hartono got to his house, then Mr. Hartono went straight to his backyard, then he sat in the back seat of his house while drinking coffee. And soon it was time for the lunch workers. Then Icha and Ibu Sumarni immediately took out breakfast for them, then Pak Joko immediately told them all to have lunch with him.
After they all finished lunch, then Mr. Hartono called Mr. Joko.
And Mr. Joko heard a call from Mr. Hartono, immediately approached and sat in a chair in the backyard of the house.
Then Mr. Hartono said to Mr. Joko....
"Look at me.!! Later that night there will be an event in this house, namely the tahlilan procession in order to 40 days the death of Farida's mother my wife. I continued to send out invitations to my neighbors, along with one of ustadz's men, to lead the event. And I want to mas also invite the son-in-law who is there, to be able to attend the event later tonight. While these workers let me alone later who will talk to them all. So now I ask the mas to immediately go to see Mas Joko's son and tell him to be here tonight huh.!!"
