Abil just finished his high school education, he graduated with not too good grades with an average of – test scores of six point eight. Though previously He was quite optimistic about the results He would get from the tests He did, he did, He feels he has maximized his test and believes that his value will be good and he can use it as capital to find work in the city or college. But in fact, the belief alone was not enough, the fact that Abil's current value is too minimal for him to use to register for college or work in private companies in the city of – big cities.

Abil still has not tried job opportunities with his diploma, he is still focused on working on his work in the fields working on nursery land as in – years before. He felt that the results He had obtained were quite good and sufficient for his life at this time, moreover He was actually confused about what He would do besides farming.

Once he wanted to open a HP counter business but he was still confused about where to buy it from, his knowledge of HP was only limited to knowing the price, spec and pulse, only, the rest is about repair or service related to technical machine He is still blank. He also plans to continue his studies in business, but on the other hand his tubes are not enough to be able to finance his studies.

Because they are not in school, yet, every day that Abil does more focus on the rice fields and work on the breeding project petu broker memangut seedlings from the rice fields to the car to be sent to buyers or government projects while saving who knows a when he had the opportunity to continue his schooling.

He is now rarely at home, and he usually stays at the basecamp near Abil's house with his other – friends. Even if Abil returned home usually around one to three in the morning just returned from work or hanging out in the basecamp, and in the morning had gone again to the nursery.

The activities carried out by Abil can not be separated from the observation of his mother, but he can only advise him with the word – words, the – period of unstable adolescence makes Abil stupid to listen to the advice of his mother, who is not happy, He prefers to observe himself from the reference – reference that He can directly in his life without listening to the opinions of people – people around him. He felt that he was old enough to help solve his own life.

But there was one thing that always stuck in Abil's mind and heart, He always felt sad and guilty when He came home in the early hours of the morning, He always found his mother was crying in between – between prayers that he said finished praying. Mother's burden is already quite reduced materially because Abil has graduated from school, but on the other hand with Abil who is rarely at home it turns out to make his mother feel worried about him, he said, moreover, Mr. Abil until now has not changed in the least, is still a trial in family life, especially for Mother.

The more mature Abil, He increasingly understands what his Father did when he rarely came home and even He is now in the same world with his Father, only different scope of association only. Abil who now also had the courage to fight what his Father did to him or his Mother. Although Abil's goal was not to fight for victory but to try to give understanding to his Father that all things in this world are not just – eyes must be as he wishes, his activities have actually advised him indirectly, that in gambling he often loses which is certainly not in accordance with what is expected, but I don't know He seems to have not realized because his eyes and common sense are covered in playing cards and lottery numbers.

Mother understood Abil's time now, and she knew she could not direct Abil as she had when she was a child. Abil has entered the – period when He began to look for his own identity, I only advised a few things to Abil, so He could avoid – negative things in his life.

Mother advised even though in the neighborhood or association the majority is a gambling and liquor addict, I want Abil not to do any of those things and another that I always tell Abil that He should be able to keep his prayers in any condition. He said, praying may not make you rich immediately, or your – wishes are granted, but by practicing prayer means you always strive for the – good things that are your guidelines to lead you in a better direction and most importantly the prayer brings peace of life he said.

Abil has always been committed to keeping what his mother told him, he avoids drinking alcohol, gambling and keeping his prayers, although in some time ago when He was in school He was once several times addicted to gambling with friends – school friends, he was, but He stopped because after He thought – thought his money only revolved – turn in one scope and took turns to get the victory and even just throw – waste of time.

Abil is actually still addicted to gambling adrenaline until now, but he chose to shift his liking to a positive thing. For example, he prefers to use his money to learn new things such as courses or to speculate on opening a business even if the chances of success are small. He argues that no matter how small the results he will get as long as it leads him to the positive and can make it continue to grow no problem for him.

And without realizing it turns out that the adrealine that He channeled into positive things makes it continue to grow over time because it does many things that some people in the environment do not dare to do the same with Abil, and stick with the traditional mindset that gambling should use cards and take advantage materially when winning.

Although the material results have not been obtained, but he can see the world with a little wider viewpoint. With the many references He has in life, it makes him better at acting and determining the decisions He will take in his life.

What Ibu Abil did according to him was good, He gave a direct example of the struggle of life of a human being to Abil, and not only focused on – distance and theoretical course, and theoretical course, a child may fail to define what is said, but most children will succeed in mimicking what He sees in their lives.
