The Story of Honesty Turns Blessing
In a royal territory far away there. Live two friendly people for a
long time. They are Abdullah and Abdurrahman. Abdullah is a farmer who has been
accustomed to working hard. While Abdurrahman is a diligent trader. If Abdullah
is in trouble, Abdurrahman always helps him. Similarly, if Abdurrahman is
having problems, Abdullah will certainly help. The two friends were very well.
Abdullah has a daughter named Siti. Her daughter was happy to help her
father's job. In addition he is also diligent and devout worship. While
Abdurrahman has a son named Naufal, who also diligently helps full trade. Along
with best friends, share each other with their children.
One day Abdullah visited Abdurrahman's house. He wants to share his
farm. His friend told me that I had just finished the harvest and Alhamdulillah
I got a huge profit from my crops Now I will add my farmland Do you have a view
of the land sold in the area around here? "Abdurrahman silent for a
moment. He thinks .. "Hmm .. Abdullah is my best friend, this is an
opportunity to help him"
"Abdullah .. What if I was just there .. I happen to have a
little parent's land, besides the land is not full because I'm busy trading You
can buy it at a reasonable price". "Oh yes, Alhamdulillah .. You're
okay, my best friend, but of course I want to know first, if it suits then we
talk about price".
Then they went together to where the land of Abdurrahman to be sold.
"Abdullah .. this is the land I mean" "Wow! This is a
good farming land. Are you going to sell it all?" "I will sell all
for you, Abdullah" "Well then I will pay according to your price ask
for "
Abdullah came home with a happy heart for having gained a new farm.
Arriving at home he told his daughter Siti, that he had just bought a good land
from his best friend. "My son .. Let's go to town to find seeds of plants
and some farming tools. Some of our farming tools are time to be replaced by
new ones ".
"Good dad .. I'm getting ready first"
The next day Abdullah and Siti started working on the new land. They
work hard tirelessly. Abdullah continued to dig the soil from the western edge
of the boundary to the eastern boundary. While Siti helped pull the grass and
prepare food for her father.
At the time Abdullah was engrossed in swinging his hoe, suddenly TING
!! There was a loud voice from the tip of his hoe. He tried once again to swing
his hoe, and .. TING !!, back his hoe staring at a hard object. "Hi! Siti!
Try here .. Dad finds something! "
Siti came to her father. "Father! Let's see. What things are down
there "
They together dig the ground. And .. How shocked they are to see what
they find. "Hahh ?! Gold Bokor !! "they shouted in unison. They found
a golden batch of coconuts with shimmering light. Siti picked it up and dusted
it off the ground. "Waah ... it's so beautiful. It must be very expensive!
We're lucky, Dad! "" No! Not My Son! It's not ours. We have no right
to possess it. Dad just bought this land, not the contents. Father must return
this thing to its owner, Abdurrahman friend Dad "
Abdullah rushed to his friend's house with the gold bowl he had just
found. Arriving at the house of Abdurrahman .. "Abdurrahman my friend, I
find this thing in the field that I bought from you. I have no right to have
it. Because I pay you only for a plot of land and not its contents ""
Sorry Abdullah, I can not accept this. Because I sold the land, of course and
its contents, so it certainly was not mine. But yours ". "Neither can
I accept this, Abdurrahman. I fear Allah if I take something that is not my right
.. "" Me too, Abdullah. Woe to me if I have something that is not my
right "
They are confused as to how. For a moment they fell silent, then one
of them suggested,
"What if we report this matter to Mr. Kyai? In order for him to
decide everything. And ... Whatever his decision we must accept it "
Both agreed and both went to the house pack Kyai.
Arriving at the house of Kyai pack the two friends expressed their
problems. Mr. Kyai thought for a moment, then asked them a question.
"Abdurrahman ... Do you have a child?"
"Yes sir Kyai. I have a son ".
"Hmm ... Okay. Is your child old enough to marry?
"It's a Kyai pack. My son is 26 years old ".
"Nice"
"Mr. Abdullah .. Do you have a child?"
"Yes sir Kyai. Siti is my only daughter "
"How old is your child?"
"Emm .. Next month, 21 years pack Kyai"
"Well ... Abdurrahman and Abdullah .. Ask your children each,
whether they want to be arranged. If they want, sell the gold bowl. Then the
money you use the proceeds to finance the wedding of your children. How?".
Abdurrahman and Abdullah looked at each other with radiant faces. Then
both nodded their heads. The decision of Pak Kyai has made them breathe a sigh
of relief.
"Alhamdulillah .. this is a very fair decision"
"Yes .. We have got way out of our problem"
"Abdurrahman my friend .. We really will be brother ..!"
"Abdullah .. You will be my son-in-law! Ha ha ha…!
The two best friends came home from Kyai's house with joy. But
suddenly both of them fell silent. Something they forgot ...
"Abdurrahman .. Why are we too happy ..? You have not asked your
son yet if he wants to marry my son? "
"It's true Abdullah .. lest your son also does not want to marry
my son!"
They were silent again. Their minds raged. They are afraid their
children refuse to be arranged. If that happens it means that the golden bokor
problem will reappear. Finally they agreed to collect their children and convey
their intentions in accordance with the instructions and advice of Mr. Kyai.
The next day Abdurrahman invited his son Naufal to visit Abdullah's
house. While Abdullah and Siti are waiting for their arrival. Very carefully
they convey the purpose and purpose of their meeting that day. Then at the end
of their sentence, they asked their children. "How is my son? Do you guys
want a match? "Naufal and Siti looked at each other for a moment. While
their father waited for an answer with a pounding heart. Finally, Naufal and
Siti synchronously gave a surprising answer. "We have long loved each
other. But we are afraid to be truthful to you! "It shocked at both
Abdullah and Abdurrahman's heart. They do not realize that the habit of
bringing their children to visit each other, apparently has grown a seed of
love among their children.
Naufal and Siti weddings were held very lively with the cost of the
sale of gold bokor. Actually, it is not the value of the golden bokor that
makes them happy, but it is their honesty and sincerity that makes the gold
bucket bring blessings to them and their two children.
