The story of Shoe Solesman
The weather today is very very hot. Mbah Sarno continues to pedal his
old bicycle combing the road Condong Chess for the sake of survival. Mbah Sarno
has tens of years working as a solo artist. If other people might think
"Want to see what I am tonight?", Mbah Sarno can only think "can
I eat or not tonight?"
In the midst of hot weather like this it was very difficult for him to
get customers. For Mbah Sarno, every day is a working day. Where there is an
opportunity to generate dollars, there he will keep trying. Amazingly, he is a
very honest person. Although poor, he never took the rights of others.
At 11 o'clock, upon arriving in front of a house at the end of the
alley, he finally got his first customer today. A young man in his 20s, looks
very rushed.
When Mbah Sarno slapped his shoe, the boy kept looking at the clock.
Because of this work he has been doing for years, in a short time he succeeded
in completing his work.
"How fast. How many pack? "
"5000 rupiah mas"
The young man spent a hundred thousand from his wallet. Mbah Sarno
obviously shocked and of course he did not have any change at all let alone
this young man is his first customer today.
"Well, there's no money right?"
"No sir, my money is living this sheet, not broken pack"
"Sorry Mas, I do not have any change"
"It's a lot of trouble, too. Yes I've been looking for a while
pak to the front shop "
"I do not need to bother. Mas take it first. I noticed the mas
again in a hurry. Next time we'll meet again. "
"Oh, thank goodness. Yes already thank you sir. "
Hours by hour passed and this seemed an unfortunate day for Mbah
Sarno. He just got 1 customer and that too have not paid. He continues to
instill in his heart, "Ikhlas. Insha'Allah will be able to replace it.
"
Time showed 3 o'clock he also took time to pray in the mosque front
Ashar school ball. After praying he prayed.
"Oh God, let me taste a bit of your provision today. Today I will
keep trying, the rest is Your will. "
After a long prayer, he got up to continue his work.
As he was heading for his bike, he was surprised that the boy who had
been his customer had been waiting by his bike.
"Well we happened to meet here, sir. This is the payday that was
midday sir. "
This time the boy kept spending a hundred thousand. Not just one
sheet, but 5 sheets.
"Loh loh mas? This mas have not mecahin money huh? Sorry mas I
