Suffering Becomes Happiness
Chapter 13
After a while the three of them finally reached home. Mr. Hartono went straight to his backyard to meet Mr. Joko who was sitting in one of the places in the corner of the backyard while watching the workers. But before meeting Mr. Joko, Mr. Hartono looked around the catfish pond, and after that looked at the fence behind his house which happened to be the construction of the fence had reached 75%. Then Mr. Hartono checked all the materials, and then Mr. Hartono approached Mr. Joko.
Then Mr. Hartono asked Mr. Joko....
"How come there are less material materials.!!"
Then Joko replied....
"If the material mas taste no need to add again for a while.!! But if the deck Hartono want, mas taste that need deck Hartono buy for now is probably chat wall.!! So in addition to that need to be painted the wall that just finished built.!! It would be better if the whole fence includes the ones on the right and left and front, how about in all chat.!? That's if the Hartono deck agrees.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said again....
"Well, I agree.!! But if we paint the fence now, do we use the energy of one of these workers or how do we paint.? Considering the work itself is still not done. So if we use one of the workers' energy, fear of disturbing the previous work mas.!! What about mas.??"
Then Joko replied....
"That's easy deck.!! If the problem of painting this fence let it mas only, so as not to interfere with their current work.!! If we use any of their power, it obviously disturbs the deck.!! Let me paint it. So on the sidelines of the busy mas later, mas will have time to do the painting.!! What's important now is that deck Hartono bought the paint first.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono said....
"Alright then mas.!! Now you better go to the building store to buy the paint.!!" "And this is the money.!!"
Then Mr. Joko immediately went to buy paint to the building store that Mr. Hartono told him, and with the money that Mr. Hartono had given him.
While Mr. Hartono immediately told one of the builders to immediately make a ladder for Mr. Joko, after Mr. Joko began painting the fence. Because the fence is a bit high, so the way of painting must use the stairs.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Joko came with two cans of paint containing 5 kg, per can. Then Mr. Joko put the paint can, then approached the handyman who made the stairs for himself, and all of them helped make the stairs.
After a while later the ladder is ready, then the ladder is cut into the front yard, to start painting from the front yard fence first by Mr. Joko.
But that time of day had already entered the hour of rest. Then Mr. Joko was called by his wife "Mother Sumarni" to immediately call the workers for lunch. Then Mr. Joko immediately called the workers, and told him to immediately have lunch with him. Because by chance at that time other than the clock has entered lunch time or lunch break, breakfast was ready.!! Then they had lunch together.
And after they all finished lunch, then they took a shower and immediately prayed dhuhur, then took a break by chatting together while drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes, before they worked again as usual.
While Icha who was then again cleaning up in the house, suddenly Icha PHONE reads.!! Then Icha looked at her HANDPHONENE who was calling her. And after being seen, it turns out that the one who called Icha was "Adit.!!"
Then Icha picked up her HANDPHONENE and said hello....
"Hello Assalamualaikum Adit.!?"
Then my sister answered....
"Waalaikumsalam Icha.!!"
Then Icha asked Adit....
"What did Dit you call me.!!"
And Adit answered....
"This is Icha.!! I and my friends are ready.!! Well you yourself how Icha, are you ready too.??" Ask Adit to Icha....
Then Icha answered....
"Oh yes Dit.!! I am ready too.!! Coincidentally now I'm sorting out again fearing that tomorrow someone is missing. so I started earlier was busy preparing everything.!!" Oh yes, Dit.!! We leave early tomorrow for the airport.!! Well that thing you confirmed to other friends is not yet.??"
Then Adit answered....
"Udah Icha.!! I started last night already ngingetin our friends to get ready immediately, and prepare everything so that no one misses. and again I've told other friends so that tomorrow morning very soon depart from their respective homes to go to the airport, and we all meet at the airport.!?" "Where's Icha.??"
Then Icha answered....
"Yes it's been set that everything is CLEAR, and I'm ready too. Yes okay then tomorrow we meet at the airport.!! And greetings to other friends.!!"
Then Adit said....
"Yes, if that's so Icha I say yes.!! Greetings compact always, spirit, and see you tomorrow.
"Assynolodet.!!"
"Goddessam.!!" Answer Icha....
Meanwhile Mr. Hartono immediately met Mr. Joko to talk about his departure tomorrow to take Icha to the airport. So Mr. Hartono intended to comfort the temporary workers because they happened to be busy with the departure of the Icha.
Then Hartono said to Mr. Joko....
"Look at me.!! Because tomorrow we will leave to take Icha to the airport, so we should have our workers leave first for one day tomorrow only. So for that matter only you talk about it directly to the workers.!!" "how did you.??" Ask Mr. Hartono....
Then Joko replied....
"All right then deck.!! Mas will soon talk about it to the workers, so that tomorrow they take a day off because there is a family interest.!!"
Then Mr. Joko immediately approached the workers and spoke to them all...
"Look at you.!! There's something I want to talk to you all about. I have the mandate from Mr. Hartono to convey to all of you.!! Because tomorrow Mr. Hartono and all the family there is a family event, namely: they will all go out of town to take their children to the airport who will leave for America to study. So I am told to tell you all that related to that tomorrow this work is released one day only: for tomorrow only. Then after that you work here again as usual.!!" "How about Mr.??" Ask Mr. Joko....
Then the workers answered....
"Well Mr. Joko then tomorrow we will have a holiday first.!!"
After a while, it didn't feel like the day was starting at night. After Mr. Hartono's family finished performing prayers, they all gathered in the middle room of Mr. Hartono's house. No exception Pak Joko and Sumarni's mother, they also gathered with them to discuss Icha's departure to the airport tomorrow morning.
Icha tomorrow will leave at 06.00 am because the airport to be addressed is the airport "JUDA" Surabaya. It's a long way away. There is about 3 hours drive by car.
Then Mr. Hartono spoke to everyone....
"So here.!! Related to Icha departure tomorrow morning to the airport.!! So I asked everyone to take Icha to the airport, including Mas Joko and mbak yu Sumarni. So I asked Joko and Mbak Yu Sumarni to be willing to take Icha, because after all Icha is the nephew of mbakyu Sumarni and mas Joko as well.!!"
How about Joko and Mbak Yu.??" Ask Mr. Hartono....
And then they answered....
"All right deck.!! Ma'am Yu and mas Joko will take Icha to the airport tomorrow morning. mbak yu seneng loh can deliver aunty pounding at the airport.!! Even aunty will feel sad if aunty is not included to deliver this Aunt Ponanakan.!! So aunty is very grateful to have been included in this.!!"
Said Sumarni's mother while looking at Icha....
Then Icha answered....
"Thank you Auntie and Om.!! Icha glad to hear it.!! By joining aunty and om to the airport, it will add more spirit for Icha, and it also makes Icha feel calm and happy by joining aunt and om.!! Once again Icha is very grateful to aunt and om who have been willing to take Icha tomorrow morning to the airport.!!"
Then Joko replied....
"Yes, Icha.!! Om and aunt always support Icha.!! The spirit is Icha.!!"
"Yes thank you, Om.!! Answer Icha....
Then after they all finished talking about it, then everything immediately dispersed to rest immediately. Because the time is late at night and again maintain their stamina to be fit. Because tomorrow morning they will all leave for the airport, to deliver Icha who will leave for the United States.
Then the next day after the clock showed at 04:00 am, they all immediately woke up from their sleep then took a bath and prayed at dawn. When they finished their morning prayers, they all got ready and packed up. Mr. Hartono immediately checked his car as well as heating the engine of his car, because the car will be taken some distance away. While Mr. Joko immediately clean up to the backyard by feeding catfish first before leaving. Actually the time to feed the catfish is not that hour. But since Mr. Joko will join the other group, the catfish are fed first. Although Icha. Sumiatun's mother and Sumarni's mother, packed up and checked once again the equipment to be brought.
After a while later, the time had already shown at 06:00 in the morning. And they get ready to go to the airport immediately. Icha, Sumiatun's mother, and Sumarni's mother, immediately put all of Icha's equipment and belongings into the car. And after the items all entered the car, then Sumiatun's mother immediately locked all the doors of the house. And after that everything went in the car except for Mr. Hartono because Mr. Hartono held the key to the front yard gate of the house and after Icha, Sumiatun's mother, and Sumarni's mother got in the car, so Mr. Hartono immediately run the car out of his yard to the road, while waiting for Mr. Joko who will close the front gate of the house Mr. Hartono.
And after Mr. Joko finished locking the front gate of the house, then Mr. Joko immediately entered the car, and sat in the front seat of the car. While Icha, and Sumiatun's mother, and Sumarni's mother were sitting in the back seat of the car. Then they immediately headed to the airport "JUANDA" Surabaya."
After 2 hours of travel, Mr. Hartono sent his car to a restaurant. They left early in the morning from home, so they did not have time to eat breakfast. Then after they stopped at the restaurant, then they all got out of the car and then they all went into a restaurant. Then Mr. Hartono immediately ordered food and they all ate at the restaurant.
In the middle of them again engrossed in eating suddenly PHONE Icha rang then Icha saw to his MOBILE who did not call it. After being seen by Icha it turns out that the call is "Rebecca" Icha's friend. Then Icha picked up the phone while eating her food.
"Hello Assalamualaikum.!!" Sapa Icha's...
Then Rebecca answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
Then Rebecca said....
"Oh Icha.!! you are now where have you been to the airport.??" Ask Rebecca....
Then Icha answered....
"Not yet.!! Now I'm at home eating breakfast again.!! I happened to not have breakfast this morning. "Well, how's your own.?"
Ask Icha....
Then Rebecca answered....
"Well, same thing.!! Now I'm eating too am I nyokap and bokap me.!! How can it be the same.!?"
Then Icha asked....
"Eh Rebecca.!! How about other friends.!! Did they leave too.?"
Then Rebecca answered....
"Yes Icha!! I called them and they all left.!! And maybe one of them has already sampled to the airport.!!"
"Yes already.!! I'll see you at the airport.!!"
"OKAY.!!" Answer Icha....
"Assynolodet.!!" Pamit Rebecca's..
"Goddessam.!!" Answer Icha....
After Icha finished receiving a call from Rebecca, Icha happened to have finished eating. Then Icha immediately invite everyone to immediately continue the journey to the airport.
"Well, if we have finished eating, we should immediately go again Pah.!! Because Icha is afraid to miss the plane.!!" Icha said to Mr. Hartono....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Well then you should all get in the car first.!! Because papa's going to the cashier first to pay for all this food.!!"
"All right, Pah.!!" Answer Icha....
Then they all got out of the restaurant, and headed straight to the car. While Mr. Hartono went directly to the cashier to pay for all the food. After finishing the meal, Mr. Hartono immediately got out of the restaurant and headed to his car, then all got into the car and then they continued their journey to the airport.
Their journey is expected to reach their destination in one hour, while the scheduled departure of the plane to the United States will leave at 09.00 past 30 minutes. So if Icha gets to the airport at exactly 09.00 am, then there will be a half-hour break for them to chat for a moment. Because at the time they ate at the restaurant earlier, the clock had shown at 08:00 in the morning. While the ticket itself Icha has booked online in advance. So the departure of the plane itself is already scheduled on the ticket Icha ordered earlier.
After some time later the place at 09.00 am, they also reached the airport "JUANDA" Surabaya. Then they all dropped Icha's stuff off the car. After the goods were taken down, Mr. Hartono immediately parked his car in the parking area, then they all sat in the waiting room seat at the airport.
After a while, Ica's friends arrive, Adit, Rebecca, Anggun, Fitriani, and Melinda.
They are also both escorted by their respective families, with their respective cars.
Then they all shake hands and get acquainted between their parents and then they become two groups. Icha and her friends are one group, while each parent becomes one group.they all chat because their departure time is still less than 30 minutes. So the opportunity is used by them as well as possible to strengthen each other.
After the departure time of less than 20 minutes, then each parent of the student immediately called his son, including Mr. Hartono and Ms. Sumiatun immediately called Icha. Because soon they will leave, then they in the seconds of departure are used to give input spirit, motivation, and others. Because in that second they become the last time they gather with their parents.
Then Sumiatun's mother spoke to her daughter....
"Yush.!! Remember mom's message, son.!! Icha must take good care of themselves there, take care of health, and do not forget the five prayers of the time. Icha should focus on education, and don't think of us here, and get along well with all your friends, because they all struggle with you.!!"
"Good ma'am.!!" Answer Icha....
Then Mr. Hartono added....
"Yush.!! Papa message you son yes.!! You must be spirit, and you must also look to the future.!! Pursue your career, and pursue your ideals.!! You have to be a successful person, son.!! Make us all proud of you.!! Because Icha is our only hope, and only Icha our successor.!! And the important thing is don't disappoint Farida's late mother.!! Make him smile in nature.!! Make her proud in nature.!!"
"Yes pah.!!" Answer Icha....
Then Sumarni's mother also advised...
"Icha aunt said Icha must look to the future of Icha is still young pursue your ideals to lift the degree of your parents and become Icha people who are useful to the nation and nation. And remember Icha, the dignity and dignity of the parents are in your hands.!!"
"Yes Aunt.!!" Answer Icha....
And not long after.!! The announcement of preparations for the departure of the aircraft to the United States has been announced.
So Icha immediately said goodbye to them all, and Icha embraced them one by one. Starting from his mother, then Mr. Hartono, then Sumarni's mother, and Mr. Joko,
So do Icha's other friends. They all said goodbye to their parents, and hugged their parents.
And that's where their cries broke.!! They were unable to hold back tears in those last seconds.they both felt that they would lose a very dear person.!! Mr. Hartono who is known as the most powerful and resistant to holding tears... At that time he was unable to hold it. So is Mr. Joko... Although he was not very close to Icha, but at that time he also could not hold back his tears, because the moment in that moment was a very moving moment that happened once in their lives.
After a while later.!! Icha started to retreat slowly and started to walk slowly towards the airport door, with a wave of hands and tears. So do Ica's other friends.!! they all walked towards the airport entrance. They were all incessantly crying... It was as if they all did not want to part.!!
After they entered the airport entrance and handed over the ticket to the officers, they immediately walked towards the plane. And they began to climb the stairs and witnessed by the parents of the students, including Mr. Hartono and others. They all watched as their children began to climb up the stairs with tears and hands, as did Icha.!! He began to climb up the stairs of the plane and occasionally turned to Sumiatun's mother and the others while waving and waving tears. They were all still shrouded in deep sadness.!! And until finally Icha and her friends arrived at the door of the plane they waved for the last time, and kept looking at his parents who were watching them at the airport as well with a wave of hands and a roar of tears.
After a while the door of the plane began to close, and the engine of the plane was started by the pilot. And then the plane began to walk slowly and slowly, then began fast and continued fast, and until finally the plane began to raise its muzzle upwards.
Sumiatun's mother and the others witnessed the departure of the plane, unceasingly waving her hands. And on and on and on until finally the plane disappeared from their sight.
After the plane disappeared from their sight, then one by one from the family of friends Icha began to say goodbye to Mr. Hartono and the others, and then one by one, and until finally there is nothing left of the parents of these Icha friends.
But not with Sumiatun's mother.!! He remained in his position on the airport fence, and continued to settle into the clouds with a blank look as if he was still watching Icha on the plane. And he didn't budge from his place at all. Sumiatun's mother still felt disbelief in what happened back then.
Understand it" if the other parents of Icha's friends, all are not like Sumiatun's mother. Some have two children, some have three children, and so on. So even though they were left behind by one child, but they still have other children who can comfort him. But not with Sumiatun's mother.!! Sumiatun's mother only had an Icha, so it was appropriate that she was devastated by the departure of the Icha. Moreover, their farewell was not a short time.!! So that's what made Sumiatun's mother feel so lost. In his mind he remembered very well, from the time he conceived Icha, to the time of giving birth, and until Icha became children, and even until now, it was right because she was his birth mother. And that feeling now reflected all in his mind, so that makes Sumiatun's mother feel very lost beloved Princess and only the puppet.
Then Mr. Hartono approached his wife to take her home....
"Mom... Let's go home.!!
It's not good to stand here for long.!! It will not be good to see people. Never mind.!! Don't be sad constantly it's not good.!! Anyway Icha left not for what, but Icha went on to continue her studies Mom.!! Already you should pray Icha so that Icha is safe there, always healthy, and hopefully achieved the goal.!! And remember Mom, that mother is Icha lo.!! I wish Icha nothing and congratulations to the destination.!!"
Mr. Hartono who persuaded his wife apparently did not succeed, because Sumiatun's mother remained unmoved from her place. He stood still and looked blankly at the clouds with a thousand soggy silence and with teary eyes.
Then Mr. Hartono beckoned to Sumarni's mother to persuade him, in hope" by persuading his brother.!! His wife would accept his persuasion and would soon return home.
Then Sumarni's mother after knowing the signal from Mr. Hartono, then immediately approached his brother and persuaded him.
Sumarni's mother said to Sumiatun's mother....
"Sir... listen to brother.!! Adek remember when Icha was a child and when you two were divorced by Suseno your husband.!? How did it feel back then, and was there more sadness for a problem than it was.!? I don't think there is.!! Because at that time let alone fathered, the brother who felt sadness when divorced by your husband, also felt not strong. Adek himself in a very extraordinary state of distress, and with full responsibility on the shoulders of adek to support the adek child, Icha.!! But what happened and what adek see "God" willed, and "God" predestined the other. Now Icha and adek in terms of the difficulties have been eliminated by having a new family.!! But why now you see the sadness of the scene as if it exceeds the problems that used to be.!! Remember the deck, adek is the birth mother of Icha, and Icha herself is now betting with fate. He pursued his ideals, he grasped a thousand hopes to make his parents happy, namely adek.!! And he also held the hope to lift the dignity and dignity of his parents.that is, also adek.!! should a mother lament or linger in grief, while the child bets on fate.!? Remember deck.!! All Icha needs now is a prayer from mother, which is adek.!! Brother doesn't deserve to behave like this. Therefore, please, you should immediately go home with all of us, and then we pray and pray. That is the best way.!! Once again let's go home deck.!!"
