About the world and the hereafter. They ask you (Muhammad) about orphans. Say, “Making things right is good!” And if you care for them, they are your brothers. Allah knows those who do mischief and do good. And if Allah wills, He will bring trouble to you. Verily, Allah is the Mighty, the Wise. (QS. Al-Baqarah verse 220)

Maybe because it is a weekend, so visitors in Baturraden tourist attractions are quite booming. Almost in every corner, as far as the eye can see there is occupying.
Fortunately, the family gathering committee from the campus had already informed the local tourism board that they would visit and hold a family gathering event there, so the administrator had vacated the hall beside the waterfall, to be used as a place to rest groups from campus.
Not only IAIN lecturers and deans who carry out family gathering there, it turns out that there are other groups consisting of young people holding social events. The group held activities in front of the hall, there is a fairly roomy place there, if you look to the right can directly see the waterfall. Very interesting and beautiful spot.
Actually at first Sari was curious about the activities of the young men, because they also took little children of SD-SMP age with them, and held games and quizzes for the little ones.
But it turns out that one of the troupe knew Moses, a sweet girl of tall stature, slender, tan skin, he was wearing black baggy pants, an ash veil and a jacket of a color dongker uniform, with a garuda logo and a red and white flag on his arm. While on the back of the jacket reads Karang Taruna 'Taruna Karya', with yellow embroidery writing.
The girl approached Moses and greeted him.
" Good morning, Mr. Moses!", the girl greeted him with a bright spirit and smile.
" Good morning", Moses looked at the voice while thinking.
" I Kina Pak, IAIN student from sharia faculty", the girl introduced herself, because Moses seemed to still think.
" Well sorry, so many students, so do not memorize one by one", actually if with the students that men might Moses will understand, because Moses often interacted, but because who greeted him a student, Moses did not really understand, because it rarely interacted.
" Yes sir, it's forgiven".
" There is another event from the campus, sir?, wow all lecturers and deans get together here". Kina lowered her head with a smile and saluted her lecturers.
Kina's attention was distracted when she saw the little, puffed up, adorable baby.
" Who a handsome baby sister, similar to Mr. Moses, is this the father's son?", Kina again asked as Sari approached Moses while carrying Rashid.
" Right, this is my son, and this is my wife", Moses introduced Sari and Rashid to Kinas.
" I'm sorry I have to go ahead, because the show is about to start", Moses does not know Kina very well, and does not pay attention to what the group of young men are doing, he said, because he has to go ahead and be the event coordinator.
" Mas ahead first yes, you are here just the same Bi Nunung, no papa right?, here is quite roomy, not too crowded like in front there, so Rashid is calm and not fussy". Musa walked forward, while Sari chose to remain on the outskirts of the hall, still watching the small children scrambling to answer a question from one of the young men wearing the same jacket as Kina.
" I'm sorry Mba, if I may know, which group from?", Sari asked Kina who was still standing not far from her place.
" We are a group from Purbalingga Bu", again the girl replied with a smile sumringah.
Sari looked at the tire attached not far from the position of the children. It is clearly written in capital letters, 'Outbound Events and Orphans' Funds, with Karang Taruna 'TARUNA KARYA' Village xxxxxxxxxx ".
Sari again asked after reading the baner.
" So what are the children there, orphans/parasols?", asked Sari with a concerned expression.
" True ma'am, they're little kids whose parents are gone. Some of the dead father, some of the dead mother, even the boy wearing blue clothes, his mother's father all died" Kina explained.
" Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatu, good morning gentlemen, mothers, and sisters all...!".
The sound of greetings from loudspeakers carried by the campus group. The sign at the hall has already begun.
Sari's mind was still focused on the group that was in front of the hall, not far from Sari's current position. Sari was so concerned to hear the story from Kina, "it turns out there are still young men who care about the disadvantaged children", inner Sari.
Kina was still near Sari, occasionally taking Rashid who was in Sari's lap to play peek...
" I salute Kina and her friends, your hearts are so kind to think of those disadvantaged little ones".
" If you can know, this event is there anyone to finance?", asked Sari curiously.
Kina shook her head, "We only contacted our neighbors and acquaintances to become donors of this event, this is already the fourth time we have held an event like this, because of our plans, he said, this charity event will be held regularly, every 3 months", explained Kina.
" I'll excuse you, ma'am, to join the others", Kina said goodbye, and returned with her entourage because it had been too long to separate.
Sari nodded, before long Sari gave Rashid to bi Nunung. Then Sari opened her bag, picked up the wallet and checked the contents.
" Why don't I bring a lot of cash", Inner Sari, then Sari asked bi Nunung.
" Bi, don't you bring money?", asked Sari in a whisper.
" Take Mba, but not much, what do you want to do?".
" Sari borrow first yes, later fitting home, directly Sari balikin, we stop by ATM".
Sari immediately received and combined with the money taken from her wallet, only collected 900 thousand.
The voice of the family gathering host is getting louder in the ears.
" For this morning event before noon, we will hold a competition, which is a singing competition, the choice of songs is free, can sing any song, any song, and the winner will get a free voucher to stay at the hotel for two days.", all participants clapped boisterously...
But Sari did not pay much attention, she was more interested in the activities of the children in front of the hall, Sari also walked closer to the sweet black girl who had introduced herself named Kina. Then he took her hand and whispered softly.
" Mba Kina, this is to add to the children's snacks, but I'm sorry just a little, please accept". Sari held the money to Kina.
" Well, thank you very much, Miss Musa, this will be very useful for all of them, hopefully Bu Musa will get a reward and abundant windfall", Kina thanked, then squandered with the friends of the committee, conveying the message from Sari, some of the young men who were there immediately looked towards Sari and nodded with sincere smiles.
Bi Nunung who witnessed what Sari was doing was so grateful, had an employer who was so kind and sharing.
Sari rejoined her entourage at the hall.
" Where?", it turns out that Moses was already with Bi Nunung and Rashid.
" Eh, Mas's here, that was there. Didn't I bring cash?", Sari asked with a hopeful expression.
" Take it, why?".
" Sari asked".
Moses took his wallet out of his pocket. Did not ask first what for, but immediately handed the wallet to Sari.
" Come take a million huh", Moses just nodded.
" Take it, what do you want to buy?, mas temenin ya". Moses stood up to accompany Sari.
Sari invited him to approach Kina again, and while walking told about the social activities of the young men in front of the hall.
Moses stops Sari's steps. " Why do you just take a million, we go back to the group first, Mas there's a good idea". Moses pulls Sari's hand and returns to the company.
" You sit here first, Mas ahead for a moment".
Moses approached the host and talked about something. Then the host did a suspension after a participant finished performing a single song of the presentation.
The host then conveyed a message from Moses, about the activities of the young men in front of the hall they were occupying.
" We are here on vacation and having fun, but in front of us there is a group of children who are less fortunate to have been abandoned by their parents facing the Almighty".
" If those who come here carry more allowance, can be a little set aside to share with each other, help the disadvantaged little ones, he said, and help those young men to comfort and make happy the orphans/patu.... ".
" Hopefully for all who have set aside some of their allowance, it will be a multiple reward, given health, safety and useful longevity".
" Aamiin.", all agreed to the prayers of the host.
10 Minutes passed, Sari and several female lecturers had finished counting the money collected in the plastic bag that was relayed by the gathering participants.
" Alhamdulillah collected Rp. 18,350,000 ".
Sari was overwhelmed by the amount of money collected.
" Doctor Sari can directly submit to the compensation committee, it seems they are willing to leave" one of the lecturers who already knew Sari directly suggested that Sari convey the mandate as soon as possible.
Sari nodded and brought a plastic bag containing donation money from the lecturers, deans, and their families, met Kina and the committee's friends, then handed over the mandate from the gathering participants.
" Thank God hirobbil'alamin, thank you very much Miss Moses, may your kindness be repaid by God many times" said Kina.
A young man who became the chairman of the committee immediately bowed his body thanking Sari and the entourage, as well as the other youths, their facial expressions now looked happier.
" I hope it's good for these little sisters".
Sari rejoined the group with a heart so calm and peaceful, after what was done.
Moses embraces Sari's shoulder and kisses her head. Feeling so proud of his beloved wife for her concern for the disadvantaged children.
" Thank you for your help" Sari looked at Moses with a loving look.
" How can I not fall more and more in love with you every day, you are like a wingless angel sent by the Creator to me" Sari said in her heart.
