Suffering Becomes Happiness
Chapter 14
After hearing the persuasion from his brother, then Sumiatun's mother immediately collapsed. He hugged his brother and cried. Then Sumarni's mother stroked the sister's head, and wiped her tears with affection as a brother.
Then Sumarni's mother said....
"That's the deck.!! Don't cry constantly, it's not nice to see people.!!"
Then Sumiatun's mother approached Mr. Hartono's husband, and hugged him.
Then Mr. Hartono said to his wife....
"That's it, Mom.!! Don't be so, embarrassed to see people ah.... Let's go home, Mom.!! This is the other one has gone home first, you know.!!"
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"All right, mas.!! Let's go home.!!"
After that they all headed to the car in the car park, and soon they got into the car and they immediately left home.
The time when it was shown at 11:30 pm, meaning they were all at the airport 2 hours and a half. So they are estimated to reach home at 02.30 hours because the journey is taken by 3 hours.
During the journey they rarely communicate with each other. Because in their feelings, they were still shaken with sadness due to their separation earlier. Sumiatun's mother, who was sitting in the front seat with Mr. Hartono driving the car, was both silent a thousand languages. Because their minds were still enveloped with feelings of sadness. While Sumarni's mother and Pak Joko were sitting in the back seat, they looked at each other. They were confused as to where to start the conversation from, as they also knew how sad they were both because of her separation from Icha. And they also know their breakup is a separation that is long enough, so it is not easy for them to just forget it. And finally, Joko beckoned his wife to start a conversation that would entertain them both.
Then Sumarni's mother, who knew the gesture from her husband, immediately started a conversation.
Sumarni's mother said to Mr. Hartono....
"Oh yes deck.!! What about the plan to build a resting place, or a place to relax, and the view in the back room of the house that is adek plan.!! Will it be made, or how will the deck.??"
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Oh yes Mrs Yu.!! Stay the.!! The construction will still be carried out.!!"
Then Joko said....
"Oh yes deck.!! Coincidentally the construction of the fence itself is almost finished loh.!! So according to mas, preferably the Hartono deck already has to prepare everything for the construction of the deck. Like materials and everything else.!!"
"How's the deck.??" Ask Mr. Joko to Mr. Hartono....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"All right, mas.!! I agree with my suggestion.!! I will immediately prepare all the needs related to the construction of the place.!!"
Then Sumarni's mother connected the words....
"Mbak Yu has a suggestion.!! What if after the construction is completed, the land next to the house is still wide and long, so Mbak Yu's proposal how about the place is built where the cafe.!! yes count other than being able to increase income, besides the place is not redundant.!!"
"How's the deck.??" Ask Sumarni's mother to Mr. Hartono....
Then Mr. Hartono replied with a smile....
"If I agree with Mbak Yu's proposal. But I have to ask my beloved wife first.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono asked the wife beside him while smiling....
"How is my wife dear.!! Do you agree with Mbak Yu's proposal earlier.??"
Sumiatun's mother, who heard her husband's question, then replied with an amused feeling....
"Ah" mas ah" what the hell ah" anyways Mbak Yu anyway.!! There is-there is ah.!!"
Said Sumiatun's mother with a smile....
Then everything in the car laughed, and the atmosphere began to recover, and warmed again after the previous stiff.
This made Sumarni and her husband feel happy, because it was their job to warm up the atmosphere that had previously been stiff, and they both felt happy and satisfied, too, because they feel their job is successful to make both happy.
After some time they are on the way, it does not feel the time has shown at 12:30 pm. Apparently they were already 2 hours on the way, and they were hungry as well.
Then Mr. Hartono said to all of them....
"All right, everyone.!! It's been 2 hours we walked loh.!! The stomach is starting to get hungry.!! How about we go find a rice stall first.??"
Then the mum replied....
"Yes, mas.!! I am hungry too.!! We'd better eat first.!!"
After a while, Mr. Hartono stopped at one of the restaurants on the side of the highway. And then they all got out of the car and they all got into the diner, and then they ordered food, and then they all ate together.
After everyone had finished eating at the stall, they all returned to the car and then continued on their way home.
After some time passed, at exactly 01.30 noon they all reached home. And the car was already in front of the front gate of Mr. Hartono's house. Then Mr. Joko first got off the car to open the gate, which was previously padlocked by Mr. Joko when this morning they departed to take Ica to the airport. And after the door opened, then Mr. Hartono run his car directly into the front yard of his house. And then Sumiatun's mother and Sumarni's mother immediately got out of the car. While Mr. Hartono directly put the car into his garage. Then Sumiatun's mother immediately opened the front door of his house, then they entered and were followed by Mr. Hartono. While Mr. Joko went straight to the backyard of the house, checking and looking at catfish in the backyard. And incidentally the catfish had previously been given food by Mr. Joko when this morning will take off to deliver Icha to the airport. So the catfish will be fed after the afternoon, because the catfish is fed twice a day.
Then after that they all immediately took a bath and prayed. And after they prayed al-Zuhur, then Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother immediately took a break. Because indeed they feel soybean after they travel far. While Sumarni's mother went straight to the kitchen and prepared to cook, while Pak Joko also rested on the back porch of Mr. Hartono's house. Besides Pak Joko also felt soybean, indeed he was at that time no work to be done. So the opportunity was used by Mr. Joko to rest. If Sumarni's mother is indeed her job of cooking, so even though Sumarni's mother feels soy sauce too, she endured her fatigue to carry out her task of cooking for everything.
Time keeps passing... After nightfall, they gathered into two groups. Mr. Joko and Sumarni's mother are in the backyard, while Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother are on the front porch of their house. And moments later Mr. Hartono's phone suddenly rang. Then Mr. Hartono checked his phone, and saw who called him. Upon seeing it turns out that the one who called was Icha... Mr. Hartono who knew that the call was Icha, then before Mr. Hartono raised his MOBILE PHONE, then Sumiatun's mother who was at that time with Mr. Hartono, then immediately call Ibu Sumarni and Pak Joko to immediately join them, so that they also both know that the one who called him was Icha. Then after Ibu Sumarni and Pak Joko were called by Sumiatun's mother, then they also joined them on the front porch of the house. And after they all gathered, then Mr. Hartono immediately raised his CELLPHONE.
Then Mr. Hartono raised his CELLPHONE while saying hello...
"Hello Assalamualaikum.!!"
Then Icha answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
Incidentally in the communication they all use CALL video, so they not only hear the sound, but they communicate completely with their faces.
Then Icha said....
"Hello Papa.!! This is Icha Papa.!! Mom and the others where's Papa.??"
Hearing voices, faces, and questions Icha.!! So Mr. Hartono and the others were happy not to be upset.
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Hello Icha.!! It's Papa Nak." It's Mom." it's Aunt Sumarni." And this is Joko.!!"
Mr. Hartono replied as he moved his CELLPHONE to their faces one by one, waving his hand to greet Icha who also waved his hand at them.
Then we say to them....
"Hello everyone.!! Now Icha has reached the LOS ANGELES airport in the United States, and it just so happens that here the time shows at 04.00 pm, and soon we plan to go directly to California to go to Robert's house.!!
Oh yes pah.!! What time is it.??"
"Ask Icha to Mr. Hartono....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Here now the time shows at 07:00 pm Icha.!!"
"Oh yeah.!? Then it's all, because Icha will soon be leaving for California with friends all to go to Robert's house.!!"
Then Sumiatun's mother said....
"Yes, be careful.!! And don't forget to keep us here, Icha.!!"
Then Icha answered....
"Yes Bu Icha will always tell mom and everything.!! Then yes, yes.!!"
"Assynolodet.!!" Icha....
Then Sumiatun's mother and the others answered....
"Goddessam.!!"
After they finished communicating with Icha, they all thanked God because Icha had arrived safely to the United States LOS ANGELES airport.
After a while later Sumiatun's mother spoke to her sister Sumarni's mother....
"Oh yes brother.!! It just so happens that we are all hungry already.!! Is my sister ready for her cooking.??
Ask Sumiatun's mother to her brother....
Then the brother replied....
"Oh yes deck.!! It just so happened that big brother had already prepared everything in the dining room.!!"
Then Sumiatun's mother invited everyone to dinner soon, then everyone immediately headed to the dining room for dinner together.
In the dining room, they were always talking about Icha, especially Sumiatun's mother who felt the most lost since the beginning of departure from the airport "JUANDA" Surabaya.
Sumiatun's mother was happy that her son had reached America, and at the same time gave news by calling her. It had treated his concern for his daughter, and at the same time could treat the longing even though the separation only began last afternoon, but for Sumiatun's mother as his parents for so long as a year. But with him having dialogue with the child, let alone looking directly at his face even though only by phone, it has treated everything for him.
After a while later... They also finished dinner. Then Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother headed to the living room to watch television while drinking coffee, and at the same time chat. While Sumarni's mother, he was busy cleaning dishes and glasses after they ate earlier, then all were taken to the kitchen room to be washed immediately. While Mr. Joko continued to the back of the house to check the catfish pond, including lighting from the pond were all examined by Mr. Joko. Because Mr. Joko is worried that the lights of the pool lighting are afraid that there is something that is not on.
After a while later... It was getting late, and they were getting ready to rest. Then Mr. Joko immediately locked the front gate of the house, then checked everything around the house including the doors. Both the front door and the side door and the back, everything was checked by Mr. Joko and all were locked, then Mr. Joko went inside the house and then rested.
The next day, their activities returned to their usual level. Early in the morning Mr. Joko woke up early, as well as Sumarni's mother. Mr. Joko immediately opened the front gate of the house, while Sumarni's mother went straight to the kitchen to cook. Whether cooking for Mr. Hartono's family, or cooking for the workers. Because the workers after yesterday was put off, then now the worker will start to re-enter to continue his work that is" completed the construction of the fence backyard of Mr. Hartono's house.
After the time showed at 07 am, then all the workers came. And as always before they work, they have breakfast first.
So Sumarni's mother immediately prepared breakfast for them by removing it from the kitchen to the back porch of the house, assisted by Mr. Joko the husband. And after the breakfast was all removed, then Mr. Joko immediately told the workers to eat immediately accompanied by him, then they all ate together on the back porch of the house.
After a while, they had all finished eating. Then they all started doing their job. Likewise with Mr. Joko, he was busy with his catfish by feeding the catfish, all of which there are 10 plots of it one by one until the end. After Pak Joko finished feeding the catfish, then Pak Joko was getting ready to do or work on painting the fence of Mr. Hartono's house. Which paint was purchased from the building store two days ago, before Mr. Joko helped deliver Icha with all of them to the Surabaya JUANDA airport.
But when Mr. Joko was just about to start painting, Mr. Hartono suddenly called him.!! Knowing he was called by Mr. Hartono, then Mr. Joko immediately approached Mr. Hartono who happened to be sitting in the back yard of the house after Mr. Joko approached Pak Hartono, who happened to be sitting in the back of the house, then Mr. Joko asked Mr. Hartono.
"Yes what's the deck.? Adek called me.!?" Ask Mr. Joko....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Look at me.!!; This is the construction of the fence itself has reached 75% mas.!! And it'll be over soon. So I mean, I would have suggested to me to immediately buy materials, for the construction of a resting place or a place to relax in this corner of the backyard. So according to how.? Do we buy it soon, or wait.!?"
"What do you think, man.??"
Ask Mr. Hartono to Mr. Joko....
Then Joko replied....
"Oh yes.!! I think the deck should immediately buy the materials, so that when the fence is completed, and the solution is in a state of responsibility" means it has not entered the time to finish work. So those workers can directly do the new work deck.!!
"That's according to the mas, if according to the deck of Hartono how.??" Ask brother Joko....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Well, I agree with your opinion.!! So then you should immediately shop for these materials to the building store as usual, and temporarily leave the wall painting first, because it can be done at any time. So if for this it should be synchronized first mas.!! So now I'm leaving and here's the money.!! And if there is anything or lack of anything, you can directly contact me mas.!!"
Then Joko replied....
"All right deck.!! Then you will immediately go to the building store to buy materials to the building store usually.!!"
Then Mr. Joko immediately set out to buy building materials, which Mr. Hartono told him.
This time Pak Joko shopping for materials is not as usual, because what will be built by Mr. Hartono is a resting place
Or a relaxing place. So Mr. Hartono told Mr. Joko to shop for more materials than before because the size of the building is rather large and wide with a size of 6 * 12 M complete with restroom and mushola. While the park or view in the right corner, measuring 4 square meters. So the construction not only takes a long time, but also costs a lot. But indeed Mr. Hartono when it comes to cost, Mr. Hartono saving money in the bank is quite a lot. Because Mr. Hartono inherited the coffee garden by his late parents, and all the coffee gardens were sold by Mr. Hartono, and the money in addition to building a house, the rest was saved in the bank. And not the responsibility of the coffee garden that was passed down by his parents to Mr. Hartono.!! The coffee garden reaches 6 hectares. So you can imagine how much money from the sale of land and coffee trees sold by Mr. Hartono.
If for the problem of catfish Mr. Hartono get the funds from the salary of retired Mr. Hartono himself as a retired TNI. And indeed Mr. Hartono retired early at the age of 40 years, because Mr. Hartono reasoned that early retirement was because when they were still with Mother Farida the same wife, indeed they were not blessed with children. So Mr. Hartono himself felt his career in the military there was no encouragement or hope from their successor, the child, so Mr. Hartono felt not so eager to become a member of the military. And it was for this reason that Mr. Hartono finally retired from TNI members, who at that time lived. And in addition, the funds were also obtained from the wife, where the wife was Farida's mother who worked as an elementary school teacher.
After a while later... Mr. Joko who from earlier went to the building store to shop for materials, apparently had come from the building store that shop for materials. The arrival of Mr. Joko was not with the goods he bought in the building store, because indeed the goods purchased were more than before. And besides, the shop owner and his workers have memorized and are accustomed to sending goods to the house of Mr. Hartono. So Pak Joko simply ordered the items to be purchased, and paid for them to the store owner, then the problem of the goods later followed.
After Pak Joko put his motorcycle, then directly facing Mr. Hartono and said....
"This is the deck of Hartono.!! Mas has ordered all material and other needs to the building store, and soon these items will be delivered here.!! These items include: "sand 2 trucks" "Semen 200 bal" "bricks as much as 5000 seeds" "corals for cast materials as much as 1 pick up" "chalk powder as much as 500 packs" "ceramic enough" and do not forget also iron for cast veins.!! Oh yes, the money that the deck of Hartono put to me happened to be less, so the money I paid everything, and I promised the owner of the store, and I promised, that the shortcomings we will pay off after the goods are all delivered here. The shop owner agreed. And for the next it's up to Hartono's deck, and it's deck.!!"
While the note was handed over by Mr. Joko to Mr. Hartono.
Then Mr. Hartono took the note and researched about one by one the price of goods in the note, and at the same time the total of goods, and the total of goods, and also do not forget Mr. Hartono also checked the shortcomings of the purchase of these items in the note handed over by Mr. Joko to him.
Then Mr. Hartono said to Mr. Joko....
"All right, mas.!! I've checked and researched everything on this note. Furthermore later if the items come and everything is complete, let me pay off all of them for the shortcomings of the items.!! And now mas Joko I ask before the goods come and be taken down here, so mas Joko I asked to plan about these items when they come will be placed on which side. So that problem I put everything to mas Joko.!! Yes mas.!!"
Then Joko replied....
"All right then deck.!!"
Then Mr. Joko immediately looked around the yard to be used as a place to drop the items he had ordered at the building store, if the items had come. And Before long Mr. Joko has found the right place to be used as a place to drop material goods that have been ordered.
And it's true... A few moments later the material goods that had been ordered to the building store had apparently come, and the first came was sand. Then the sand is lowered in the place where previously Mr. Joko chose the right place for the item... And indeed these items are not enough under one load, even with large vehicles including trucks because these items are many. So to deliver these items to Mr. Hartono's house is needed repeatedly.
After a while later.... Apparently the time has entered the hour of lunch break and at the same time meal for the workers. Then Sumarni's mother seemed busy removing rice and so on from the kitchen room to the back porch of Mr. Hartono's house, which was assisted by Sumiatun's mother. Then after everything was complete removed from the kitchen room, then Sumarni's mother immediately told her husband "Pak Joko" to immediately call the workers to have lunch first. Then then Mr. Joko immediately called the workers to immediately have lunch, accompanied by Mr. Joko himself.
While Sumiatun's mother herself approached her husband "Pak Hartono," and invited her husband to breakfast or lunch in the dining room in his house, accompanied by himself, and took him to the house, where the food was previously prepared by Sumarni's mother. Then they went into the dining room of his house, and the two of them immediately had lunch together.
After a while later... Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother had finished lunch. Then they both immediately took a bath, then prayed zuhur, and then they took a break.
As for the workers, they after lunch and then they bathe and pray zuhur, after which they rest by chatting with fellow friends while smoking and drinking coffee. Because the workers are indeed a break during the day that is for 1 hour. After an hour, they continued their work.
So also with Sumarni's mother and Joko... Sumarni's mother immediately cleaned the dishes and others from the workers, after they finished eating earlier. Then the dishes were washed immediately and then Sumarni's own mother after that lunch alone in the kitchen.
While Mr. Joko after lunch, he then took a bath and prayed zuhur, then took a break by chatting with the workers, and then continued his activities again. Because they both actually work at the house of Mr. Hartono, although they are still family with the owner of the house, namely the mother Sumiatun and Mr. Hartono, although they are still family with the owner of the house, namely the mother Sumiatun and Mr. Hartono,
But they do not consider a maid against him and his wife, but even so, Pak Joko and Sumarni's mother know enough about who they are and who he and his wife are. And indeed Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother really appreciate them both, and they both have great respect for Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother. Because the two of them on the side were indeed family with him and his wife, but they were very polite and did not treat him and his wife as a maid. So there is no reason for Mr. Joko and his wife to disrespect them.
