Tonight is my first night in my new 22 years old. so, why i'm not share my favourite story so far?
Actually, this story encourage me for starting this blog.
On my way from my house to my college (like ussual, i'm using "Angkot") i
sat near the half-opened window. i saw there is an old lady sat and brought a bucket near her leg. Mmm... from her looks maybe i can assume she's kinda 50's or 60's. The weather feels so Hot and the scenery filled with smoke from all transportation, people's yelling and traffic jam. From her looks i can see how tired she is maybe she sell something that's why she brought a bucket with her. (Actually in Indonesia a trader, especially a woman always bring a bucket with them for carry the stuff like Herbs that we called "Jamu" and some Traditional foods like "Pecel" or Indonesian Salad with peanut sauce. that's why i predict she sell something)Then come a new "Angkot" passengers, a family with a little boy with them. Many foreigners said Indonesian people are polite, but i always think that they are wrong totally wrong. how come? i always assume Indonesian people nowadays always polite with foreigners but not with their own people. At that day i just see a beautiful scene even as you know the scenery maybe can makes people not nice with each other. This old lady just smile to this little boy and give a snack that Indonesian people said "Kerupuk".
this little boy took that and her Mom ask him to said "thank you" to the old lady, all of them smilling each other. Kid's Mom then try to give the old lady some money, since She knew that the old lady are giving her boy one of her trading stuff. but guess what? In this Era, In this Year, In this chapter of life... i tought everybody are changing. but this Old lady said, "It's okay, i'm giving to him. it's for him". "But, you sell that stuff right?" ask the Mom. "Yeah, but it's okay, it's for him" said the old lady.
Maybe this just a simple situation and all of you think "SO WHAT?". but, how come a poor and old lady can be so kind to each other and we not? i'm not saying we all like that, but.... can you imagine if a lot of people are kind with each other?
i just can said two words, "Better Life"
