Hour lecture was over, I immediately drove to the bus stop waiting to district 10, where I live. Soon, the bus which I later came. Dozens of passengers, the majority of students directly rushing after two buses were the main door. Buses numbered 80 streak that was always full and crowded, if the activity perkuliah already active. Understandably, it is the only bus passing by the district 10 and the campus of Al-Azhar, where I gain knowledge. If the bus was already out of the terminal, do not expect to expect to sit down, because of the number of bus passengers who liked that one. So happened that afternoon, I can sit in the rear row of seats.
When the bus has traveled half way from my destination, fit in a tingkungan, suddenly veiled mother while holding a tiny baby up. The mother and her baby was trying to penetrate the crowded passenger bus that afternoon. Perhaps many thought that mother up to take a particular purpose. But the estimate was very far, because the mother and her tiny baby went up to look for a bite of rice on top of the bus, through some metal dime the passengers.
After successfully taking passengers meeting, veiled women started groping a plastic bag he was carrying. Soon, his hands took out a fistful of candy. Go step by step, veiled mothers with tiny babies walk giving out sweets to passengers one by one bus. Do not think that free candy to enjoy your trip! Therefore, the candy is one way people in the Egyptian request alms or charity of others. Candy, tissues, paper containing the hadith / verses of the Quran, selling pins and rubber nuts are one of the tools to earn a dime or invite coins from the pockets of passengers.
I was sitting at the back corner was touched, moved and saddened by weight of veiled mother's struggle. Apart from having to hold her baby in the heat of the afternoon, he had to spread the candy in the crowded passenger bus to get a mouthful of rice. I have noticed, plus hijab veils worn mother was already looking shabby, dirty and rear side looks a little tear, the more convincing the difficult conditions and need.
The sight of people asking for alms on the bus, not a new thing for me. Because almost every day, there-there are only asking for alms on the bus, whether young children, old gentleman, and sometimes middle-aged woman. However, I find it much different day, a veiled mother while mengedong tiny baby that looked fast asleep. Maybe she already ate this morning by his mother before under speculate on the buses so they can fall asleep soundly. Hopefully ...!
After dividing the candy from the back row to the front, the mother began to return to the very back row. The goal, want to take money from people who he Leave a candy earlier. From my line, it appears almost all the dredge bag. Sadness and pity. That's probably what they invite sympathy and expressing some of the shopping. From hiking the mother, who has seen lackluster motion, as a sign of exhausted and tired. Perhaps he has repeatedly up and down the bus in the morning until noon.
My eyes continue to tear the mother saw the fight, and really lucky kid to get a very loving mother to him. Therefore, it could be a mother throw her child and abandoned in the city center or in the market thought there to run away from responsibility. Apart from the family burden. However, not for the veiled women, although forced to beg he kept trying to provide the best for their children.
I pray, I hope his son would become a child of pious, devoted and proud parents, in particular his mother. Thanks mom. Your righteousness will not be able to back us, but we will try to please and make you happy always. Let's dutiful and obedient to him, as a reply from basahan toil and sweat. []
