I'm on the way to Jakarta city by a bus ,
Seems that madam go into the bus together me but i don't recognize it very well.
She sits beside me, she wears jilbab. I can feel that she's downto earth human and low profile that i ever seen again. I don't know how could i get into nice talk and nice chit chat with her. Firstly she asked me where i study, where i live, where i go now, until i ask her too where she live too, where she wanna go, what does she do, and bla bla bla.. in that conversation, she tell me that she has seven childs, and she has husband that previously was not a muslim. her husband is a muallaf. She start talk about her children. Her first child is a woman. already married. has finished her study in Al Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt and has married with ex-Indonesian male student who studied in Cairo too. Her second child, is a girl and still studying also in Cairo until present. The number three is a man, graduating from technical school and now working in an airplane company in Soekarno Hatta Jakarta International Airport. The number four until the last seven still studying in high school, but the madam take her number four until seven childs to a pesantren, what we call islamic school.
Her husband after become a muslim, filling his day with speaking in many mosques, many pesantrens, and many places in Java. Her husband was a konghucu previously before he turn to be a muslim untilpresent.
She,the madam,is a teacher in SMU 17 Jakarta teaching Bahasa Indonesia until present. In Fact, she's not only teaching in the senior high school, she also teaches private to many childrens in Jakarta and Tangerang about many topics, mathematics, science, and etc. coming to many houses and many places in jakarta and tangerang.
Owyeah, her first child got a full scholarship from the Egypt Kingdom studying in Al Azhar University Cairo Egypt. The Egypt Kingdom give scholarship to her first child because her first child memorizing full page of Al Qur'an. Wow what something rare for teenagers like all of us in present age :)
What i really Proud to the Madam is... she got weavy diabetes disease this present. Looking that situation and looking also to her age that will be 60 we can say it's so impossible for still studying in school and in many places, impossible for still able to work. But what she taught me????? because she has a power, a strong spirit (that all human nowadays should have too if want to survive in this cruel world), that is why she is still strong working , becoming teacher in many places til present. Even she never ask to be paid for all she has done. Cos she did it all for only God Mercy, Bless of God. Wow ,, God show His Word. " i'll give my mercy and blessing if you (human) wants to search that mercy in any place in this His world." and I'll take you (your position) up and up if you searching knowledge, if you are working, studying, if you doing somethings good among humans, if you helping each other."
and that madam is the example of that human. the example that we all better be.
She told me, during this lifetime, doing all the best you can do. don't you ever forget the final day. we must have something what we will bring after we die,,, God will ask our responsibility, of all we did during we live. Time never stop spending. Let's making each minute of our life time useful, meaning.
