Struggle And Prayer

John separated one by one soybeans from rice from overnight and just finished the morning. "Finally it's done too." Jhon who sat until his body lay flat staring at the ceiling of the building.

"Jhon, is it all right yet?" asked Juned the keeper of Syafira's trust.

"Look at it yourself! Beres what yet? I'm going to sleep for a while. Capek knows to work so, if not remember where I want to go home to do it," jhon closed his eyes so tired and sleepy.

"Ok, the results are good. I'll give you a 3-hour break and after that you'll have to do another job!"

"Hmmmm," only the deheman that Jhon gave. His eyes are really sleepy.

"Well, I want to open an online clothing store. I will use this money as best I can. I'll find the place first, pray for me I'll make it, Mah." Pinta Bella kissed the back of her hand and continued to prostrate at the feet of the woman who had given birth to her.

Elsa glazed over and continued wiping her son's head full of affection. "Mama will wish you all the best, and may you have happiness, son." Elsa's prayers are sincere, and will always be on Bella's side even though her son has done something wrong.

"Aamiin's."

Tid-tid

The sound of a motor horn continuously rang in front of Bella's house.

"Who the hell, so noisy?" Bella stood up and approached the noise and Elsa came to her as well.

"The noisy brass knows, it doesn't have very noisy manners in front of people's houses."

"Surely you, Bella. I know, I'm Dimas, your assistant and a taxi driver who is ready to deliver wherever you go," he said, introducing a friendly smile to Bella.

"Sorry, I don't know you." Answer Bella ketus.

"We are acquaintances, if you know for sure, if you know for sure you want, then love me." Dimas even menglesetkan his speech into a song.

"Any son of a nutcase," muttered Bella.

"Come aboard! I'll drive you wherever you go, if you don't get on, the boss will get mad."

"Boss? Syafira?" ask Bella to make sure.

"Yes, who else would it be if it wasn't the Syafira boss who gave this country the job."

"It turns out, Fira's been preparing for this too?" bella's heart was moved.

Byur...

Water one dipper back in splash into Jhon's face.

"Ohuk.uhuk.." Jhon choked on the water because someone entered through his nose. "A big hobby I use water, Bang? I just went to bed again, and could I not wake him up in a rocking?" gerutu Jhon rubbed his face rough.

"If you're not flush, you won't wake up Jhon Vernando! Eat and continue to work!" jakak Juned clenched his waist.

"What else is it, anyway? I'm a prisoner, not a prisoner supposed to be huddled in bars, why am I even told to do this job?" John stood up and took off his clothes because it was wet.

"This is a modern day prisoner, according to what I say if you want to go home soon!"

"Iisshhh, yes, yes, take a shit like your mom's out of money." John finally gave up.

"Jhon School...!!" joked Sentak.

"Yeahaaaa, Bang Junaedi...." Pekik Jhon fled before Juned to where he slept.

Jhon and the other prisoners have arrived at the place that has been provided. An empty field lay wide before all of them.

Ngaseuk is a Sundanese term used to refer to the process of planting rice/corn in huma which does use aseuk as its main tool. This is different from the process of planting rice in rice fields called tandur.

The term ngaseuk is taken from the word aseuk, which is a piece of wood that is about a fist and one end is tapered. With this aseuk holes in the ground in the huma made, to then filled the grain of rice/corn by dropping into each hole.

"Huh, what?! what kind of punishment is this?" the prisoners who had just arrived were surprised as well as Jhon.

"In prison, are you told to farm? strange author." Jhon flicked his lips feeling unreasonable for his author's thoughts.

"Don't blame the author, Jhon! If there wasn't him we wouldn't be the cast. He won't get our money nor will he be famous. The director's author is free to set us up as we please. Already, you guys are working now! Do not babble mulu, like mothers who do not get the basic parts of your government," said Juned.

"All right, Bang Junaedi..!"

Inevitably, everyone must want to do the task of the author so that all the business is quickly completed and quickly go home.

Jhon's life in detention needs struggle and prayer until he can re-assemble with his sister and he promises to leave the life of Jhon and return to be Nando the bespectacled boy.

"Stop, Dim!" Bella patted Dimas's shoulder when she saw a shophouse on sale.

"Why?"

"Wait here! I'd like to ask you about the sale of the ruko." Bella takes off her helmet and walks straight to the shophouse, while Dimas waits on the bike.

"Excuse me..!"

"Yes, Son. Can I help you?" ask a woman her mother's age to come out from inside.

"Sorry, Mom. Is it true that this shophouse will be sold?"

"Yes, Son. We'll sell it. What Nak.."

"Bella, just call Bella."

"Will Bella buy it?" the mother immediately asked the point of hoping Bella would buy.

"Yes, Mom. I want to buy it but can I see it first?" bella said politely.

"Please, Son." Mother also showed the whole of every corner of her frame.

The shop consists of two floors measuring 6x12 meters is quite large. At the bottom looks spacious because there are no restrictions and will be in the contents of the product to be sold, cashier table, and so on . On the top floor there is already a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette.

Bella likes her rukonya and she also dealkan buy the shophouse. Now the goal is to find a place to sell clothes for children, adults, Muslims and so forth.

"Dim, you know where the clothes are for resale? cheap but not cheap." Bella asked as the two of them moved away from the place.

"Mending us to the convection directly and working with them to deliver the goods you will sell. The price will be cheaper and can get a price discount of course. But, about the quality of the goods in guaranteed mantul." Dimas's proposal continues to drive with focus.

"I'm just following your proposal."

Bella hopes that her efforts will advance in order to support the life of her, her son, her mother and of course for the future of the child. Bella also hopes to return the money Syafira gave because she does not want to have a debt.

Bella will continue to fight for the sake of the child and fight and pray for the success of the business she will start. "May God bless my intention, aamiin" Bella.

Bella thinks the money Syafira gave her is a loan even though Syafira himself sincerely gave it and he will work hard until successful to return the loan.

Life is a lesson, a lesson to success, a lesson to adulthood, a lesson about the meaning of appreciating life. If we can appreciate life and time, then our lives will feel calmer in every problem, and certainly always prejudiced against God's plan.
