The Neglected Pearl

Part 59 Special attention

After getting an answer from Zaki, Randi felt dizzy to think about the next question, because if Randi did not talk Zaki also quietly did not comment in the slightest.

Because of each other's silence, not felt it, finally they both arrived in front of Randi's rented house, in the front yard of the contract, Zaki parked his vehicle and he came down with Randi.

Zaki who already felt close to Randi, without speaking stale he immediately took Randi's hand. Seeing Zaki holding his hand, Randi was delighted.

Upon arrival in front of Randi's rented house, Zaki was sitting on a bench made of boards.

Shortly after, a young mother came out of Randi's room with a glass of warm tea.

“Please drink tea nak.” said the mother while putting it in front of Zaki.

“Thank you very much, Mom already bothered to make me drink.”

“Ngak what, just a drink kok.”

Zakia replied as she left Zaki and Randi.

However, after a few steps Zakia walked, Randi then called him.

“Mother ! sit here.” Randi said to the woman.

Then Zakia turned to look at Randi who called his name, turning around and approaching Randi and Zaki.

“What's up with Randi ?” ask Zakia to know.

“So I'm from Jakarta, from the house of bang Zaki, if you want, I was looking for a decent job for Mom at Bang Zaki's parents' house. There you just choose, want to work at the restaurant owned by her brother Bang Zaki, or work at the home of her parents Bang Zaki himself.”

Hearing the explanation from Randi Zakia immediately burst into tears, his heart felt so bitter. While Randi who saw Zakia crying his guts immediately became shriveled, Randi was afraid that her mother Krishna was offended by her words.

“Aduh ! how is this Bang ?” ask Randi scared.

“Mother, Mother is fine right ?” ask Zaki to the girl.

“Iya nak ! Mom is fine.” Zakia answered while looking at Zaki.

Hearing Zakia was fine, Randi's heart felt a little calm, her fear of that moment had turned into happiness.

“Randi !” zakia said as she hugged Randi gently, you're a good boy, I'm so sorry for you. Today you have fought again for both of us, so that we can live a decent life, huhuhu !” zakia was crying hysterically in front of Randi.

Zaki and Randi are very understanding, why Zakia is crying, her heart is so bitter because Randi is so attentive to her.

“Thank you son, your kindness may be reciprocated by your god.”

“Thanks Mom, hopefully this job is very suitable for Mom, and can help Krisna school later.”

“Iya, son.” reply Zakia.

“Mother Bang Zaki is very good person Mom, she always care for us poor people, as long as you are smart with her, whatever she has must be given to Mother.”

“Iya nak.” replied Zakia while packing her clothes and folding them one by one.

“Tenanglah Mom, later we will come to Jakarta to see Mom, most importantly Mother still take care of health during there.”

“Good son.” replied Zakia in a soft voice.

Zaki who saw Randi trying to persuade Zakia, he gave a thumbs up for his efforts, because at a young age he had a very good heart.

“Where ? is Mom ready ?” ask Zaki.

“Mother wants to wait for mother's son to come home, can I son ?”

“Sure Mom ! I'll wait until when I can leave.” Zaki replied in a soft voice.

“Alright thank you son.”

Then in silence, Zakia sat in front of Zaki and Randi, after several hours of sitting still, suddenly from a distance Randi saw Krisna coming home in a police uniform.

“Schoolers on police force ?”

“Yes son, just wait another year and a half, after which he finished.”

“Good it.” Zaki said while introducing himself to Krishna.

“Zaki !”

After getting to know each other, Zaki talks to Krishna about his mother.

“we deliberately waited for you earlier, then Randi came to Jakarta to ask for a job for your Mama, and Abang's parents were willing to hire your Mama at home, if you don't mind today, we're going to Jakarta.

“True it Ma ?”

“Iya, dear, let Mama get money for your school fees son.”

“Alright, but Mama don't get too tired ya, keep your health as long as there.”

“You don't have to worry, Old Man Brother is not like the boss.”

“Thank you Bang, I titip Mama ya Bang.”

“Iya.” answer Zaki briefly. “O yes, this Brother there is little money, make the best use of it.”

Said Zaki while thrusting a white envelope into Randi's hand, divide it fairly.”

“Good Bang, thanks.”

After saying goodbye to each other Zakia followed Zaki from behind and accompanied by Randi and Krishna.

For the last time, Krisna hugged Zakia. They cried hysterically, like they would never see each other again.

“Learn earnestly, so that you can make your parents happy.”

“Good Bang ! thanks advice.

Since that day Zakia worked at Fatma and Mang Ojo, while working at Mang Ojo's house, Zakia's heart was very happy, even though he did not feel any pressure.

What's more Fatma is a very nice person, Zakia always gets extra money every week, the money is saved by Zakia in her room.

Accidentally, that morning Fatma saw Zakia counting her savings secretly in her room.

“For what money did you save it Kia ?” ask Fatma to know.

Hearing his master's voice, Zakia planned to hide it, so as not to be seen by Fatma.

“Not to be ashamed, I will not be angry kok.”

“This money I can save, I plan to make a small house for Krishna Mom."

"Your intentions are very good, so the money has been collected a lot ?”

“New three million Bu ?”

“If you are diligent in saving, your intention to make a house will definitely be implemented.”

“Iya, Bu.” Zakia replied.

That morning, when the morning dawn reverberated throughout the Jakarta City Area, as usual Zakia also woke up from her sleep, Zakia just went to the bathroom to wash her face, she said, but that morning Zakia saw every family who woke up immediately took ablution water.

In Zakia's heart, stunned for a moment, seeing the Fatma family obedient in worship, Zakia stood in the corner of the living room while looking towards the Worship room.

Fatma who noticed Zakia she just smiled, because Fatma knew that Zakia was a non-Muslim.

Long Zakia was hesitant, seeing the polite and obedient family, in her small heart, Zakia wanted to have a family that was harmonious like that.

Finished all working on the congregational prayers’ah, they also came out of the place, but outside Zakia still stared at them all with a feeling of admiration.

“What's up?” tanya Fatma wants to know.”

“Mother is worshiping huh?”

“Yes, a Muslim, is obliged to worship Allah.the god of all mankind.” Fatma answered in a soft voice.

“God of all humans ?”

“Iya Kia !”

“Means, my god is also yes Mom ?”
