Someday in February or March 2015 (I thought it was Tuesday) I went to school as usual. When the first school recess, it was about at 9.30 AM, I went to Bazar with Tiara and Nurul. I saw the old man sit down near school medical room (UKS). He brought his backpack and scales.
He is a very kindhearted man. When someone tried the scales, he said that the other should not saw her weight scale. He didn't want to make her feel shy. He did that too when it was my turn. I saw my weight scale.. Oow, I was feeling fat -__- (actually I am fat, right? hehe...) And then Tiara and Nurul tried too. "Here! Here! Weigh your weight to be healthy" he said to people in that area.
He didn't beg our money, he said that we didn't need to gave him money. So we can gave him some money sincerely or not it doesn't matter. He want us to keep healthy :) . But me and other people still gave him some money and said thank you.
I didn't go back to my class, I talked with him. When I said that I was fat, he reply that doesn't matter about your weight. We should thanked to Allah SWT for all and the important thing that we still healthy. Yes, he right. We need to thank to God for our weight, for score / marks in school, and because we still have friends and family, we still have a life, we still alive exactly. He said that doesn't matter too about our job, as long as that is halal. He didn't want to be a beggar, he prefer to work instead of to beg money. He felt so sad, why people now choose an instant way like corrupt, pickpocket, etc. Yea, Indonesia.... now corrupt everywhere.
Not as like as he was young. He was a veteran (I was surprised). He said he fought against the colonizer.
After we talked, I permitted and back to my class. I was crying for a while.
When the second school recess. I went back to Bazar, but I didn't find him. I want to interview him for my English task :( . I'm so sorry to Mrs. Wiwin, my English Teacher. That was February - March, and now is June.. so long time, hehe.
And when 21 March 2015 at 09.36 PM, I've got this from my LINE at my timeline. It was from Indonesia Video LINE account.
SAD STORY
Namanya pak EMIN DUDUNG, mantan pejuang angkatan 45 (tertulis di kartu anggota veteran). Dahulu pembela Negara hanya untuk generasi kita sekarang. Ia hanya mencari uang di sebuah kawasan ramai pengunjung Bandung. Pak Emin duduk sambil menawarkan jasa timbang badan dengan tarif seikhlasnya untuk sesuap nasi.
Apakah ini tanda terima kasih kita kepada mereka? Yang telah meninggal dipuja - puja setiap upacara hari Senin, apa semua sadar yang hidup kini terlantar?
Share jika kalian peduli guys, memberitahukan informasi termasuk amal.
