Long Chat With Mr. Lukman.
That afternoon the man who used to be called Awan was at the residence of Mr. Lukman's house one of the most distinguished people in his hometown.
"Son the Clouds is drinking his coffee. " Said Mr. Lukman when one of his assistants presented drinks and snacks to taste.
"Thank You Sir.! The reply was friendly.
For a moment they both fell silent to enjoy the delicious coffee at the guest table. Before long the chat continued into serious mode.
"Son Cloud how's your test result? Did you graduate with a top 10?" Ask the old man straight to the point.
"I'm sorry Sir! Hope does not fit with reality. Only able to become third rank and Alhamdulillah can enter the school to high school." The Cloud Light bowed for a moment.
"Alhamdulillah. I'm quite satisfied to hear the answer from you son. I am happy and proud of you to hear it. You're the hope of your mother to elevate the dignity and dignity of your family?" Mr. Lukman said with a meaningful smile.
"Ahkp.......! Mr. Lukman is overreacting. If there is no moral support and financial support from the father. Maybe I personally wouldn't be able to do this. The young man said very politely and in a down tone in front of the old man.
"Son the Cloud is always humble. What help is given by me. Just a drop of dust in the desert sea, nothing compared to the help of your great-grandfather to me and my family is worth more than matter. It is because of your own ability and hard work. So that it can make me and your great-grandfather who was happy in nature there very proud. And I am sure that the intelligence and skills you have will bring you success. " Praise Mr. Lukman with confidence.
"Thank You Mr. Lukman is easy. I am not complacent with the praise you gave me. For to me praise is a poison that can blind the intellect and make people feel proud and satisfied. " The cloud stood up and bowed respectfully.
Mr. Lukman smiled and was amazed and amazed at the young man before him. Speak the language and can put the direction of conversation with the opposite sex different age.
"Muhammad Awan Pratama. Is the entry plan to SMA prepared for administrative and other requirements? Asked Mr. Lukman for a moment.
''If for other requirements I have prepared far long before the UN began. But I was looking for a school to enter after 12:00 because I had to go to the market from four in the morning to work. To meet the daily needs of my mother and my two sisters and Grandma." The clouds with their confusion.
"Ohk.....! Nak Awan does not need to worry and worry if the problem. There in the sub-district of the school city can enter from 12:00 And according to my promise that the first time I entered Junior High School for school affairs and registration and other tool tools have been prepared to stay later Nak Awan directly school.." Mr. Lukman said he understood the concerns of the young man before him.
Actually Mr. Lukman helped not to the clouds just to be able to continue school. Previously also offered to the two brothers' young man. But by both of them rejected on the grounds of wanting to help the family economy. Though very dear at that time by Mr. Lukman. Because he saw the intelligence and intelligence of the children of Bu Lisnawati. Mr. Lukman at that time could not do anything.!
The middle-aged man's hope was lost and disappointed because he could not help the family of his Grandpa Ibu Lisnawati. But the thought was then directed to a little boy who was solemnly reading the holy book of the Quran while studying to teach at the madrasah ibtidaiyah in the village of the birth of the child.
Finally, when the child starts the final semester in sixth grade Elementary and UN will be started in the near future. The 12-year-old was called by Mr. Lukman to his house and offered to continue school to the Junior High if he entered the top 10. Though Mr. Lukman himself already knew from his guidance teacher. That child named Muhammad Awan Pratama always champion class in his school. But because he did not want to be praised and his humility he asked his guidance teacher not to list the ranking or give it to other students.
It was then that the Goddess Mother was the guidance teacher at that time. Ask his students who are still quite young. Then Miss Dewi asked her students. I was amazed and surprised when I heard the answer from the little boy who had the mature mind. Finally, the Goddess Teacher agreed.
"Alhamdulillah." Once again I thank Mr. Lukman and I promise for Mother and Grandma. I will not forget the kindness of Mr. Lukman and his family "Said Awan with teary eyes.
"Son Cloud....! Don't worry so. I just help according to my ability. For other business, Nak Awan himself who lived it. Just remember the message from me to be like Awan who is still in elementary school and Junior High School is not arrogant and not arrogant to share and love each other. " The Old Man's Message gives his advice and advice to a young man who is the same age as his youngest child but whose IQ has lost far.
"Goddessa. Advice and advice from elders I respect and from those closest to me will always be remembered and practiced in the course of life in this mortal realm. " Cloud said a sweet smile was given.
After a long chat with a man who is very respected. And the Ashar reverberated that was not far from Mr. Lukman's house. Awan also asked the permission to pay all would do the worship of prayer ashar congregation in the Mosque.
"Sir....! Lukman I ask permission to return home at once to carry out the duties of a Muslim in Al Ikhlas Mosque. " Talk Clouds while standing and kissing the hand of Mr. Lukman.
"Please Want Clouds. " Reply Mr. Lukman as he welcomed the young man's hand and stroked his hair.
