Dad's Story
Mr. Rezber immediately took his closest family to the dining room.After almost 20 minutes they had lunch they regrouped in the living room.
While looking at his wife's grave back which was already filled with thousands of flowers from inside the gazebo, Mr. Rezber began to tell stories while imagining and remembering his life story with his late wife.
"You all listen, Father will tell you the story of your father's life with your Mother, so hopefully you can tell it back to your children and grandchildren" said Mr. Rezber.
The whole family approached Mr. Rezber and the story began....
"Jakarta around 1977,at that time Dad was adopted by an old woman who people used to call him by the name Nyak.He was a man who worked as a scavenger.according to his story he found Dad since he was a scrooge in TPA,then he took it and took care of Dad while he was taking him to work every day, because at that time no one could and would be cheated on by a baby,He gave Dad the name Dani according to the usual name of the Betawi people last name Rezber which means short for Blessing, so that later he hoped Dad could give blessings to everyone".
Mr. Rezber continued his story again, "We live in a small one-room bedeng or hut that is covered in used asbestos and walls of cardboard and used boards.Nyak very fond of Dad, he said,for him Dad is a gift that can accompany his old days so as not to be lonely for the rest of his life".Furthermore,"Dad every day from morning to time does not necessarily always follow Nyak around the city of Jakarta looking for junk, Nyak put Dad in his car so that Dad does not get tired of walking.If the time is to eat, we ate on the side of the road, though,the small gubug was only used to collect junk items that would be sold and only for night sleep and this was a very unfit and healthy place to live".
"Day by day, when Dad was 6 years old there was a new State Elementary School opening in our next village,while we live near the garbage collection place outside the village.The school is due to the recent lack of students.Then there are some teachers who come to Nyak who ask for information on the age of Dad and whether Dad wants to go to school to study reading and writing".the story of Mr. Rezber.
"At that time Dad was very happy to be able to go to school Nyak agreed to persuade the teacher with the lure of free for several months, although Dad for a few months did not have school bags and shoes.uniform course just buy used at the flea market".
Mr. Rezber was seen smiling as he recalled the first day of school."When I first went to school, I was very happy, because it felt proud to be able to wear a school uniform and go to a real school and not a dream,in addition, the majority of many children scavenger neighbors who do not go to school.At that time can go to school for our people is a luxury for us.let alone Dad is a student who has a late and passionate strong and active in learning".
"A few days of school Dad was starting to recognize letters and began to be able to spell writing.Dad did not have a textbook,because Nyak has no money because the results of scavengers are very few and uncertain.Every day Dad is always ridiculed by friends
"All contempt and insults I face patiently according to Nyak's teaching that ugliness or bad nature should not be dissolved into it so that we are not a part of it,to avoid this every time I use to study more vigorously than other friends because I realize less ability and facilities.As soon as school I use the time to help Nyak around looking for junk".mr. Rezber's story.
"It turns out that free school only lasts for 1 period of chess wulan or about 4 months only.In the distribution of books Dad's students get a top three ranking,Nyak is very happy and proud and sad because after that he had to pay the SPP set at Rp.700.If cashed now worth 3 liters of rice at this time".
After the receipt of the school student's report book stipulated a week off.Suddenly the next day there was one of the teachers and the mothers of the PKK district present reviewing the slums, the,they went to the homes of students attending school and handed out a large plastic bag containing a school bag complete with a set of stationery there was also a one-pack notebook,school uniform and one thing that is very luxurious for Dad is a pair of shoes Warior brand black complete with socks."Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the donation, these are the items of my son's dreams, but I can't afford them" Nyak said with tears of joy.
"Mother's prayer has been granted, hopefully this will all be useful for Mother's son and we'll excuse you first because you still have to share it with others" replied Ibu PKK.
Three minutes in the dugout Nyak Mother PKK group left.See Little Dani immediately opened the contents of the big plastic bag."Just look at his shoes, Dani wants to try to wear" said Dani while looking happy.he felt that shoes are the most luxurious item in his life that he has.
"Are you happy son?", asked Nyak.
It was seen that little Dani nodded her head, then admired continuously the new shoes were then stored beside her sleeping pillow.
During the week off school, every day at night little Dani always sleeps while hugging her new shoes, after helping Nyak, she always rushes to look for shoes and kisses him.
At that time little Dani already understood if there is an object called television, he often saw it if he was traveling around scavenging.in the slums no one has a television, no one has a television,besides being very luxurious there are also no power lines in the settlement, everyone uses lighting lamps from used cans that are given a wick and kerosene, in addition to television there is little discussed by his schoolmates, he said,he can only listen and hear like the story of Lone Rangers or Cartoon He-Man that he does not understand.
