THE WEALTH SCAVENGER SYSTEM
EPISODE 1'S. LUCKIER
Smelling the foul and stinging scent had already become an everyday meal for Zero. Zero, who is big in a scavenger environment, is used to slum life, struggling with garbage that most people think must be very disgusting.
But Zero is grateful, thanks to the garbage he and his mother can survive, can school until now sit in high school.
The need for fees before the final exam and graduation is quite large, while his mother can not help and is currently sick even requires a considerable amount of medical costs.
This of course makes Zero a problem in raising money, although friends in the neighborhood have tried to help, still not enough.
During the school holidays leading up to the final exam, Zero scavenged from morning to evening, but the results were not worth the time he had spent.
But Zero did not want to give up, he was sure that effort would not betray results, that was the principle of life that Zero always instilled in his heart.
In addition, he is also one of the servants who are convinced by the Creator, although he wrestles with dirt every day but Zero never forgets his obligation to worship.
Zero always carries food and change clothes in his bag until the time of prayer he took the time to stop by the mosque, take a shower and then join the congregation prayer line.
Mak Salmah's harsh education, since the little Zero managed to make him a strong and independent young man, until in the most difficult situation Zero could remain calm.
This morning after washing clothes, cleaning the house and preparing breakfast for his mother, Zero said goodbye will be scavenged in the center of the market.
Usually he only scavenged at the TPS (Cash Disposal Place) which is not far from his home, but somehow last night he was like getting a hunch, will get more sustenance if scavenged towards the city, near the market.
As usual, Zero first put food, drinks and change into his bag, then he crucified his hand while asking to pray for him to come home later with a lot of sustenance and blessings.
Mak Salmah stroked his son's head, saying, "Be careful, son! There is not where you usually look for sustenance, so do not carelessly take what they do not throw away. We're poor, but we're not thieves, Mom doesn't want anything bad to happen to you."
"Yes Mak.., God willing Zero will always remember your mother's message."
At half-six in the morning, Zero left wearing the clothes he usually wears when scavenging, wearing flip-flops and carrying a sack. But when leaving, the clothes he was wearing were always clean because every time he came home, Zero always washed them, only the color only looked dull and looked dirty.
Zero stopped the passing freight, the goal of the market then he sat on the front bench. The passengers noticed him, maybe they felt pity or even thought about the condition of his dwarf body.
But Zero did not care, his eyes continued to look ahead while praying, so that today God eases his steps in seeking sustenance.
Around the 30-minute journey, Zero arrived, he got off and paid the fare. Then Zero walked on the outskirts of the shophouse and the small stalls that were there, he began to scavenge from one trash can to another.
Zero is a good scavenger, he will tidy up the trash that has been scrambled earlier, so it is not scattered so it will not make the owner angry.
Until the afternoon, the results Zero got were still few, it turned out that scavenging in the city was not as easy as he had imagined.
Zero walked on foot while carrying a sack, his tired body and his aching legs, making Zero momentarily stop his steps and sit on the sidewalk near the corner of the courtyard of a multi-storey building.
After he finished saying that, passing in front of him a boy about 10 years old, the boy did not have both hands. But he still wants to try to find sustenance by trading small packaged taujin nuts hanging from his neck.
Zero's heart was sad to see it, it turned out that he was more fortunate than the boy. Saying something, Zero immediately called the boy, then he gave the remaining money, which was worth ten thousand, in his pocket.
Zero did not care, even though he did not have the cost anymore to go home. He can still walk or find a ride until he can get to his house.
The boy initially refused to give Zero a hand, but Zero put the money into the boy's pants pocket and said, "Take the Deck, for you to snack. Brother there is still money, besides if it is sold, surely Brother will get additional money," said Zero while pointing at his sack lying in the corner.
The boy looked happy, smiling and then he said, "Thank you, with money from my sister, I can buy food for my sick mother and sister."
For a moment he was silent and continued his words, "Since morning I was peddling peanuts, only a few packs were sold. I was confused, what if I went home without food, it turned out that God was very good, had sent brother, as our helper today. May kindness always accompany Brother and one day Brother can live a successful life."
After saying that, the boy half ran, crossing the road to a small rice shop there.
Zero's chest tightened, heard the boy's words, and then quietly said, "Thank you God, thank you for the sustenance, health and integrity of the limbs that You have given me, it turns out I'm luckier than your other servants."
After that Zero continued his steps, he took back his sack, then headed for the trash can in the corner of the skyscraper.
The sun was about to get into his dispute, as Zero scavenged the trash can, there, he saw a worn-out flat object lying among the pile of trash.
Zero picked it up, he was surprised to see it glow and blink, apparently an old-fashioned cell phone.
As the day grew darker and Maghrib's time was about to arrive, Zero simply stuffed it into his pocket, then he returned down the sidewalk to search for the nearest mosque.
After finding the mosque, Zero put his sack near the bathroom wall, he gave permission to the mosque's marbot to take a bath because he wanted to join the congregational maghrib prayer.
The mosque's marbot allowed it, and Zero carried his bag containing a change of clothes into the bathroom.
Zero immediately took a shower and changed his clothes, and put his dirty clothes and old-fashioned cell phone in a plastic bag, then put it in his bag.
After ablution, he went straight to the mosque, joined the ranks of the shaf to perform maghrib prayers.
