Chapter 8. Beneficial for others

Tired from the work that piled up felt lost after seeing the mother smiling to welcome his return.

"Capek yes son, sit here first for a while, the mother deliberately made your favorite ginger tea. In the first drink mumpung still warm, let fresh body and lose your fatigue."

"Yes mom, thank you mom._

"How are you doing today, does she still feel her chest tightness?"

"Alhamdulillah, today I feel better, I hope healthy continues ma'am."

"Aamiin", said the mother.

"Sana gih shower first, let her fresh body, after that rest a while while waiting for Maghrib time."

"Yes ma'am, if you'll excuse me to go to my room, ma'am."

Mother nodded in agreement.

The Maghrib arrived, as usual Zia was under the obligation of worshiping his Rob. When he finished he immediately gathered with Mom, Dad and his sister in the dining room.

Today the mother is cooking because the health condition of the mother is stable. The cooked mother was a simple menu of sauteed kale and fried salted fish, but they all ate voraciously.

Any cuisine that is processed by the mother tastes very delicious, not inferior to the taste of famous restaurant cuisine or five-star hotel cuisine.

Mom since young girl is already good at cooking, I learned to cook from grandma. Grandma is a chef at the presidential palace.

The fate of my mother is not as lucky as my grandmother. But Zia remained grateful, God had given her the best mother.

After finishing eating Zia cleaned the table and cleaned all the eating utensils assisted her sister. Although he was a boy but he was diligent and not shy about helping with homework.

When Zia was late coming home from loundry, she was the one who helped the mother sweep the house, sweep the yard, lift clothes from the clothesline and occasionally shop to the market.

After school he rarely played with his friends, he was always at home looking after and caring for his mother.

Father had returned to the room to rest because he was tired from working all day and mother also followed father to rest, sister Zia also returned to the room to study and do her schoolwork.

While Zia doing Isya Prayer' then returned with the usual routine that she did every night is teaching tutoring because her students have been waiting for her in the guest room.

When Zia was about to finish teaching her phone ringing, it was seen on the screen that Rania's name made the call.

While Zia's students were working on the math assignment she was given, Zia received a call from Rania while slightly away from her students.

"Hallo, Assalamualaikum", Rania's voice came from across.

" Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Zia.

"What are you Zia?"

"I'm teaching Les Rania."

"Well, it's still working gini night, so when's your break Zia, don't you feel tired?, school morning, noon work, night teaching again not to mention helping your mother's work."

"Capek is actually Nia, but I'm happy to do it. I feel my life is more meaningful, more useful both for myself, for my family and for others."

"Well, these nights where did you teach Zia?"

"My house" replied Zia.

"My disciples are the children of my neighbor Nia, they are also children from underprivileged families, so I accept whatever their parents are willing to give as my service to teach their children. For those who cannot afford me I sincerely wish that as long as I live my life may be of use to those who need me."

..." The best of man is most beneficial to others."...

And Allah SWT has explained in His word QS. Al Isra 7

...which means:...

..."If you do good, you have done good for yourself and if you have done evil then the loss of evil is also for yourself."...

"It is noble of your heart Zia, I must learn more with you."

"Let us both learn Nia, I am also just an ordinary man who still has many mistakes and shortcomings because there is no perfect man and perfection only belongs to Allah SWT. Oh yeah, did you call me tonight?"

"I just want to say, tomorrow morning I'll pick you up, tomorrow I'll ask you to take me so you know my Papa."

"I'm taking public transport, Nia, I'm shy, embarrassed and don't want to bother you."

"Who said you were troubling us, you were explaining the word of Rosul and the word of God about doing good. I also want to be a good person and to benefit others Zia and especially to benefit my best friend."

"Well, tomorrow I'll wait at home, thank you Nia."

"Yes, same Zia. Oh yeah, your house isn't far from the loundry you work for."

"Yes Nia, about 200 meters from loundry."

"All right, I close my phone first, continue, Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam", Zia replied again.

Zia continued teaching him. After all, the disciples returned to their homes and Zia immediately rested.

The next morning, Zia had already completed all her obligations and duties. He did not want his best friend and his best friend to wait for him so he prepared early.

After some time, Nia and her father arrived, Nia introduced herself and her father to her mother Zia and then introduced her to Zia.

It turned out to be true that Raniah said, his Papa is very handsome looking bule of German descent and looks young from his age.

"Indeed deserve to be Raniah's brother instead of being his Papa" Zia said in her heart.

Across the street, a little away from Zia's house is seen a red sports car parked there, the driver watching them from inside the car.

It turns out that he is Angga Wiguna who intends to pick up Zia to leave together. But when he was about to get out of his car he saw Rania and Papa Rania coming out to Zia and her mother, so Angga abandoned his intention.

There was a sense of disappointment in his heart, jealousy, pain, when Zia shook hands with Papa Rania.

Angga felt unwilling for Zia to be close to other men, but she could only hold back her feelings. He has no courage and has no chance to express his feelings for Zia.

After Zia, Rania and Papa Rania say goodbye to Zia's mother, they immediately boarded the car and Papa Rania immediately drove her car slowly towards her daughter's school.

Then Angga also immediately forwarded his sports car following Papa Rania car with the same purpose.

They finally arrived at school on time.

Rania, Zia immediately said goodbye to Papa Rania for class.

Zia thanked Papa Rania with a smile, this further added to the jealousy in the heart of Angga who saw it.

After the two walked into the school environment Angga got off his car to catch up with them.
