The Neglected Pearl
Part 15 Success

Although he was young, Intan was able to reap a lot of money from it. Moreover, after the stacking house was inaugurated by the governor of DKI, Intan benefited three times than usual.

But Intan realized, the rezki obtained did not fully belong to his family. Some belong to the poor and orphans, and for family deliberation, Mang Ojo finally sent ten homeless and orphaned people.

As usual if there are issues to be discussed, surely they all hold a deliberation to unite seven different opinions.

But for this time, Intan who wanted the meeting to be held, in his old house, in the slums, that night Intan and the others gathered together.

“What's Intan ?” ask Ms. Fatma to know.

“Nothing by Bu.”

“Everything went well right nak ?”

“Iya Ma'am, everything is going well, I don't need to worry.”

That night at the meeting, Mang Ojo told Intan to issue his opinion first.

“In my restaurant sales this time, I made five times the usual profit, so I wanted to send ten children to school until she finished Elementary School.

How does anyone agree with my opinion ?”

“Wah ! very brilliant idea, I really like it, what's wrong, we share sustenance with all of them ?”

“Yes, you are right, if we have a holy intention, just do it immediately, never to postpone it.” Timpal Bu Fatma's.

“Then what about the others ?” asked Mang Ojo to know.

“Yes I agree with Intan.” Answer Alhuda.

“I also.” Said Zaki.

All of them gave a positive response, Mang Ojo was very grateful because in his old age he was surrounded by children who loved him.

For the glory of the heart of Mang Ojo family, Allah Swt gave him abundant reserves, so he was able to make a two-story house.

“Currently we are tested again with treasures, which we have never gotten this much, but for this time, I intend to build a house for all of us, he said, what do you all think do you agree ?”

“A very good idea Sir. I'm very supportive once.” Answer Alhuda.

“Then what about the others ?”

“Mother also supports the wishes of the Father, because in this way, we can live a little quieter and safer.”

“How are Intan and Zaki ?”

“We also agree Sir !” answer the two simultaneously.

“Some who want to comment ?”

When the question was asked by Mang Ojo, everything fell silent and silence began to be felt between them.

For the silence of all that exists, it means that the decision taken has been final.

And on that deal, Mang Ojo finally built a house. In that house Mang Ojo and his five children live peacefully. They love each other, share and are never arrogant.

Seeing his family calm and peaceful Mang Ojo was happy and happy, what else his family never be stingy, like to give and share among others. However, Mang Ojo feels long for a simple life, like in the past.

A few years later, Alhuda completed his studies with a bachelor's degree on his shoulders.

And with his persistence in finding a job he finally got a job as a director of a bank in Jakarta.

”It turns out the fruit did not fall far from the tree” that's how the saying goes. Alhuda has talent like his mother. If his mother had been a director in a foreign country, now he is a director in his own country.

Good obedience and discipline, that is the main factor to make someone succeed.

For the success of Alhuda, Mang Ojo gave thanks and invited the poor and orphans to eat in his home. In the show Mang Ojo sobbed, his heart moved, for the success they had achieved so far.

At that time Mang Ojo and his family also hoped that Ranita and Niko could be present with them.

“If only Neng Ranita and Den Niko could be present with us at this time, surely this happiness feels complete, but unfortunately we do not know where their residential address is.

”Iya Sir, if only I knew where they now live, surely Mother herself who came to their homes all.”

At the time of success just keep coming to his family, Mang Ojo never forget the creator, who has bestowed the priceless rezki.

After finishing holding the thanksgiving event, Mang Ojo gathered all his family members, in a narrow room in his home, Mang Ojo said in a hoarse voice and faltered.

“My children, your father and mother are getting older, maybe our age will not be long, now you are old and mature, some have worked some are still in college, High School, High School, SMP and SD. Is that right?”

“True.” Answer the five children of Mang Ojo.

“Father is so proud of you, even though life is successful but you are still humble and love each other both your neighbors and neighbors, but you must remember one thing, he said, behind every success, God will give tests equal to the abilities we have achieved. Is that right?”

“True !”

“ Currently maybe we are above, but not necessarily tomorrow after tomorrow, maybe we are below. So be careful in holding the trust that God has entrusted to us. Jagan forgot to give thanks, prostrate and beg forgiveness to him, because only to God do we worship and beg forgiveness. Do you guys understand ?” Mang Ojo said to his children.

“Understanding Sir !” answer the five children of Mang Ojo while smiling widely.

A week later after Mang Ojo spoke with his five children, the night when the family had slept soundly, the second daughter's diamond Mang Ojo, calculated all the money he earned during opening the restaurant “Berkah”.

The money is enough for the cost of Hajj both parents and make a house outside the slum.

Because Intan feels sorry for his parents who are old, but still choose to live in the slums. They should be free to enjoy their old age.

Unbeknownst to Mang Ojo and his mother Fatma, the next day Intan came to Ranita's house which has now become an accomplished architect.

“Assalamu’alaikum !” intan said while knocking on Ranita's door.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Neng.” Answer the guard.

“ Is Ranita's sister here, sir? “

“There, perhaps still sleeping.” replied the security guard.

“Please builtin, can you pack ? sayin, Intan Mang Ojo's son came.”

“Good, Neng!” answer the security guard as it passes leaving Intan.
