Likes and Grief

After two months of hard-fought campaigns, they are now reaping results that are very chest relief. Because, Mbak Yuli was finally elected as the head of the village by defeating four rivals in the election kades that lasted quite exciting and tense chest.

Yuli residence, now many visited by residents who want to congratulate Yuli who has been elected as the village head. Not only the successful team and the residents of Yuli supporters who came to celebrate the victory, but many people besides Yuli supporters also attended congratulating him.

The choice may be different, but when Yuli is elected as the village head, then Yuli is the village head (leader) for all villagers Sumber Balong without exception.

Yuli and her supporters can smile happily, while the four rivals are now feeling tightness in the chest and suffering from their defeat in the election cadets are quite draining energy, thoughts and costs.

The suffering of the defeat of Mr. Seno and Mr. Asro in the election of kades, certainly not the same as the suffering experienced by other newcomers namely Mas Indra and mas Bakti.

As former village chiefs, Mr. Asro and Mr. Seno may be able to understand his defeat. Because consciously, their little hearts also admitted to some of their mistakes during their time as village heads.

But for Indra and Bakti who have not had political sins to the villagers, their defeat clearly makes it worse soul and mind.

Ambition buried in the chest of Indra who had long wanted to become the village head, is now extinct. The closeness of Indra to run for the village head, now answered already after he only had a few votes from the residents.

Meanwhile, the Bakti community, which was encouraged by some residents to run in the village kades elections, now feels deceived by some residents who only want to be alone. So much political capital that has been spent, it was only able to boost the acquisition of Bakti mas votes in third place.

Mas Bakti now felt disappointment so deeply in his mind. So many residents who came to him before the election of kades in the village, turned out to only take advantage of the moment to get a shot.

The four political opponents of Yuli, namely Mr. Seno, Asro, Indra and Mas Bakti, who used to be hailed by some residents as village heads, now have to bear the shame after they see the fact of the defeat.

Their defeat in the election, made the four rival Yuli and her successful team reluctant to get out of their homes. The suffering of defeat is like dirt splashed on their faces. They feel embarrassed, as shy as possible, so that makes them reluctant to show their faces to the public.

No more residents would come and greet them after they lost the village chief election. All felt strange in their eyes, because only their wives, family relatives and close friends would care and comfort when they were suffering.

They now seem to realize, if politics is cruel, even neighbors and distant relatives who have been at odds with them, even many deliberately channel their political aspirations to their political opponents.

This is where the importance of doing good to others, whenever and wherever they are. Genuine kindness towards others will have a good impact in the future. Because the kindness or spread their charm to the residents before the election of kades in the village, it only makes them disappointed.

At first glance, the pain of their defeat is due to the cheating of some of their naive supporters who only want to be alone. But if contemplated more deeply, maybe this is the way God makes them to want to do good to others even through the spread of charm so that they are elected as village heads.

A round of time that changes the day, guiding the person to the wisdom of all the suffering that befalls them. Although the round of time is not easy to pass like turning hands, but they must remain strong and patient. Although the tempaan sense of passing time with a million shame due to the suffering of their defeat continues to rage in the chest, they must be strong to live it. Because the wheel of life, will continue to run grind time.

As a result of the suffering of losing the election, Indra then brought his wife back to his village, about 5 km from the village of Sumber Balong.

While mas Bakti, prefer to stay in the workshop where his work is at the crossroads of the road near the rice field area about 1.5 km from his home. Ms Bakti spent more time working in the workshop and rarely went home. The defeat that befell him, made him feel embarrassed and reluctant to show himself as usual. Only a few villagers who service their motorcycles often meet with Bakti mas in the workshop.

“That is already, yes already, anyone who is generous, we as citizens, yes have to keep working to support family life, is not it so mas Bakti?” syek

“Yes, whoever the cards are, yes we certainly have to keep working alone, when we want to ask for kades, yes no way anyway?” timpal mas Bakti while grinning.

“It's a motorcycle, what's broken?” ask mas Bakti.

“The carburetor may be dirty, because the bus has been changed, but the motor still often crashes.” replied Sidik.

“Maybe ask to change buy a new motorcycle, so that it continues smoothly?” Canda mas Bakti's.

“The old one can still be used, why buy a new motorcycle. Instead of buying a new motorcycle, mending his money to buy a goat, will later be able to breed pinak.” replied Sidik.

“Wah, it's new whose name is forward-thinking.” timpal mas Bakti while grinning.

That day the atmosphere in the workshop was quite crowded from customers, Bakti mas and two of his men, namely Yoga and Untung, were quite deft in servicing his customers' motorcycles.

Mas Bakti, Yoga and Untung always work with all their heart, so many customers return to service their motorcycles to the workshop.
