Part 31 Valuable lesson

Hearing the story of his daughter, Margono was sure that the words of his daughter were not kidding, because Margono knew exactly who his daughter was. Every threat he makes will prove it.

“Then be well, Papa will marry you both.” Said Margono while sitting in front of the penghulu.

Although at that time the invited guests were home, but there were still a few more people left. In front of the witnesses, Margono also married her daughter to Mang Ojo's son, Resti who witnessed it, his heart felt like a prick.

And finally finish Ranita's marriage with Alhuda, the person they consider unemployed.

After his daughter was officially married, Margono took his wife home, without a word he left.

Meanwhile, Mang Ojo who saw all the confused guests, immediately spoke up.

“Sorry, Fathers and Mothers and brethren, all of this is beyond our plans, so if anyone feels uncomfortable, my family apologizes, the greatest.” said Mang Ojo as he shed his tears.

“Sorry, Mang ! what exactly is Alhuda's job, why does he want to marry a rich woman ?” ask a guest present at the time.

“Iya ! not that we all know that Miss Rasti and Mr. Margono, a country official.”

timpal Bu Sotia's.

“Good, good ! I will explain, but before that, can I ask one thing ?”

“Ya, please !”

“What do you think, if we want to marry our children who already like each other, we must impose our will ? Which is for the sake of property and office, so we ignore their intentions it.”

“Not that I mean Mang ? I just want to just know, actually what Alhuda's job, so he was so desperate to marry the official girl.”

“Alhuda now him as director of Bank.” Mang Ojo replied in a flat voice.

“What ! director, Bank ? why is Bu Resti, saying that Alhuda is unemployed ?”

“Bu Resti don't know anything ! he only survives his ego, so he darkens the eyes. Actually I know the purpose of the father was talking, the father must assume, if the scavenger family does not need to fantasize too high, that means right?”

Hearing the explanation from Mang Ojo, Pak Darto felt ashamed of Mang Ojo, because his hidden plan was read by Mang ojo.

“Sorry not that I mean, Mamang overrated me.”

“I do not judge you at all, I just read your mind, that if we are scavengers never dream too high ! so it's not ?”

“Heh Sir ! I am very familiar with Mang Ojo and Bu Fatma, they are responsible parents, even though they used to be scavengers and sell boiled beans, but they managed to educate their children up to college.” Aida to Pak Darto.

“What ! All children Mang Ojo college?”

“Why ? Shocked right ? That's why, don't judge people from the outside only !”

“Udah, already ! don't discuss it again, shame !” said Mang Ojo while leaving Pak Darto and all.

“So your mouth when you talk, Aida ! You're here, a nobody. What is the pride of being a scavenger, even though roaring, people will not believe. Let alone to buy the Building, hut only you can not make it, dreams are too high !” said Sumi, Aunt of Ranita.

“Enough, enough ! stop all ! Aunt Sumi, I didn't expect it, did I ? it turns out that aunty like this, in front of Oma and Opa, Aunty looks very soft, but it turns out that Auntie is the same behavior as Mama. If Aunt doesn't like to see me married to a scavenger's son, Auntie can go anyway, I don't mind !”

“Ranita ! what the fuck are you ! You drove your aunt out on your own?”

“Iya ! I drove out Auntie, who behaved like Mama.” Ranita said loudly.

Humiliated by his own nephew, Sumi ran out of Mang Ojo's house. She was crying hysterically, her heart felt so sick, never had Ranita treated herself like that.

Seeing his wife crying because she was hurt, Rudi followed her out, followed by her three children.

After the departure of all the invited guests, now the mansion looks quiet, there is only Fatma and her son who are still crying over the situation they did not expect at all.

The marriage of his daughter's son was chaotic and uncontrollable, the plan that had been carefully prepared, was now destroyed for only a moment.

In the corner of the room there was Mang Ojo who was sitting tight, his chest felt tight because it was holding back tears.

His entire body felt helplessly weak, drop after drop the old man's tears fell down the skin of his already shriveled face.

God must have a plan behind everything that happens to every servant, only sometimes, we forget that it is his will.

“Please, my children, this is not a punishment that God has sent down for our families, but it is a test, which requires all of us to multiply the istigfar and ask him for protection. Because it will not move as big as a particle of Zarah, except with permission from him.”

Reaching a word from his father, spontaneously all his children joined in crying, the turmoil of hearts that raged, they finally spilled together.

“This is how the world is my children, not all the good we do gets a place in the hearts of the people around us. Sometimes we get compliments and sometimes we get insults. But do not occasionally you feel inferior and hurt. Make it a whip for our future success. Rest assured that the destiny of Allah Swt, more decisive than everything.”

“Pardon for the actions of my parents Mang, they have really gone too far.” Ranita said as she cried in the lap of her husband Alhuda.

“Yes, Mamang has forgiven Neng's parents, this is how we Neng ! things like this we have often experienced, if for Eneng mah, it may be the first time, but if Eneng is patient and stoic, surely Neng gets used to himself.”

“Insya Allah Mang, may I be steadfast in living it.”

“Mamang want to ask one thing with Neng Ranita ?”

“What is Mang ?” tanya Ranita curious.”

“Neng will know that Alhuda is poor and from a scavenger family instead, but why is Neng still desperate to marry him?”

“Because in this family I found my true identity, the life of the Mamang family gives a lot of inspiration for my life, which I have never found in that luxurious house. They just love me with money, not with love. A child definitely needs more affection than abundant money.”

“Iya, we know that Neng, because of marrying Mother's child, finally Neng Ranita became hurt.” Fatma said crying.
