The Teacher
Nadya Dwi Nurlita, Young Director is very talented, successful. In her luxurious house she sat in a chair by the window watching the rain fall slowly. The very past of the memories came. A figure he had not thought about for a long time suddenly began to appear.
Nadya was not born from a family. However, he was born to a family of inadequate or poor families and lived in a very limited area of education plus very few teaching staff made it difficult to hone knowledge. He remembered a figure of an unsung hero in his neighborhood. Mr. Suryono his name. A primary school teacher where Nadya used to go to school when young. He kept the spirit of teaching even though occasionally he grimaced the pain that often appeared in his head. Pak Suryono does have a disease that seems quite severe. However, he has never shown or even told his students or any other teachers.
The thing Nadya never forgot was when Mr. Suryono asked his students softly, "What are your ideals?".
Simultaneously each student replied, "Police, Pak", "Doctor, Sir" and some who answered, "The rich man, sir".
But only Nadya is silent. Seeing Nadya who did not answer like the others made Mr. Suryono was surprised and asked Nadya, "Nadya, why are you silent, what is your dream?".
With a loud and innocent Nadya replied, "I do not know sir, even though I have ideals, will that be realized?".
Pak Suryono replied, "Why are you unsure of that?".
Pak Suryono replied, "Why are you unsure of that?".
"My parents are just ordinary peasant workers in this area and they will not be able to finance my higher school anymore, maybe I will only have an elementary certificate Pak. Is it possible I will be able to achieve those ideals?!? Answer Nadya in a tone of disappointment. Simultaneously all the students began to bowed disappointed.
However, Pak Suryono just smiled at Nadya's words and said, "Are you desperate? do you want to be a farm worker like your parents? do you not want to make them happy, raise them up? ". Hearing the words of Pak Suryono, Nadya was just paused and looked down.
"You should not give up. Never make that shortfall your excuse for despair because it will not change anything adds hardship, there are many ways you can go if you want to learn and work. All your hopes, dreams, and dreams can come true if you remember these words, Try, Learn and Pray. First, try to keep learning diligently and diligently, if you have tried and learned leave it all to God because only God determines. You are very sure if you can apply those things in your life, you can certainly achieve what you want and never be a desperate man in the pursuit of ideals, "he said emphatically.
Nadya who had despaired, began to think of Mr. Suryono's words and make it as a motivation for his dreams accomplished.
After school, Nadya began studying diligently and diligently, but Nadya never forgot to help her farmer parents. It is always done to become a habit.
Until the time of primary school was over, Nadya got the highest score and got the first rank in school. Nadya's parents are very proud of Mr. Suryono's meaning
"You are great Nadya !!", said Pak Suryono to Nadya.
"Thank you, sir," Nadya replied.
"It's for you, Nad. Bapak sure you will win! ", Said Pak Suryono while giving a piece of paper.
The paper is a careful cedas contest intended for children who will continue their junior high school education with the prize of full scholarship to be borne by the government plus a complete uniform prize with school supplies starting from books, bags, shoes, uniforms, to stationery . Nadya was anxious to follow the race, but he hesitated
"I doubt it, because the rival must be a lot and from the elite schools, sir. Can I win? ", He asked.
"You sure! You must be, one to remember, Try, Study, and Pray! "Mr. Suryono replied firmly and confidently.
After getting motivated by Mr. Suryono, Nadya was studying hard and with a greater spirit than usual. until the race Nadya can answer all questions posed to him clearly and precisely until he entered the final and eventually became the first champion of the quiz contest. Thanks to that, Nadya can continue her education in the elite Junior High School she wants with a full scholarship borne by the government. Because of his habit of studying hard, his education from high school to university is now all received from a full scholarship.
But Nadya was never arrogant. With a smile, in his heart Nadya said, "All this I will not get if not for motivation Pak Suryono. The dreams, hopes, and ideals I had thought would not come true and I was desperate enough to be realized, whatever I should give as a token of my mercy and thanks to Pak Suryono. He is the figure of the teacher who became the inspiration for me. Really he is an unsung hero. "
Nadya never forgets all the services that Mr. Suryono has given him. now, it's been a long time since he ever saw the motivator's figure. When Nadya is still undergoing Sarjana education, in fact Nadya really miss Pak Suryono, eagerly Nadya met him but Nadya did not have time to contact him because of his busyness to his college duties.
Nadya tried to contact Pak Suryono again but there was no answer and that was the only contact Nadya had, never giving up Nadya had tried to meet Pak Suryono but he was moved for a long time. really Nadya no longer know how to meet him.
Year after year Nadya went through until now he has become a successful person, working as a director of a company now he can boast both his parents, raised the degree of both parents. his life is very happy.
The rain began to stop slowly, suddenly Nadya's telephone rang that made his mind go straight to a telephone he had not previously known. Then Nadya picked up the telephone.
Nadya, "Hallo?"
"Hallo is this really the number Nadya Dwi Nurlita?". he said.
"Yeah right, this is who?" Nadya replied curiously.
"This is me Nad, Siska your elementary school friends, still remember not?" He replied.
Recalling Nadya, "Siska? Oh yeah I remember, you are my buddies during elementary school "Answer Nadya
"Yeah right, you how are you Nad?" He asked.
"Alhamdulilah Good Sis, what about you?"
"I'm also good Nad, I hear you're successful now" he said
"Ah not really why Siska" Nadya replied with Nada shyly.
"Nadya you still remember Mr. Suryono not?" Ask Siska.
"Of course Siska, where might I forget him" answered Nadya.
"I just got word that he now lives a city with you, do you know where is Nadya?" Asked Siska.
Hearing the words Siska torn, Nadya very surprised "Is it true? I do not know Siska at all, I have not seen her for a long time! Do you know where is Siska? "She asked curiously.
"The news that I got in the bintaro area, and reportedly he was sick hard that was the reason why he moved there". Answer Siska.
Nadya was very surprised to hear that, "Huh? Sick? What pains? "She asked with anxiety.
"I do not know Nad either, maybe you can visit him. If you have visited him please greet me for him huh? "Siska replied.
"Okay, I'll see him! Please send her full address of Siska's address, and if I meet her, I will convey your regards to her ". Said Nadya.
"Okay Nad, I'll send the address, it's been Nad, I'm having business again, do not forget my regards for him yes". Said Siska ended the conversation.
After Nadya got Mr. Suryono's full address, Nadya rushed off to visit someone he had longed for. Feeling very happy he drove his luxury vehicle. As he passed he came to an alley that the vehicle could not enter, he came down and started walking and walking down the street until he came to a very simple house even like the house he used to be as a child. Seen a figure of women who are old enough. Apparently he is the wife of Mr. Suryono. Then Nadya came to him.
"Is this really the residence of Mr. Suryono?" Nadya asked the old woman.
"Yeah right, who are you and what's wrong with Mr. Suryono?" Asked the woman to Nadya.
"Sorry if my arrival is disturbing, I Nadya student Mr. Suryono while still in elementary school". Answer Nadya.
"Oh yes, please come in then. Sorry if the house is small and messy "Said the old woman while inviting Nadya into the house.
Nadya went in and sat "Mr Suryono where ya, I want to meet with him" Tanya Nadya.
"Daddy can not get up, so Nak Nadya just go into his room". Answer Wife Pak Suryono.
He saw a very old man lying helpless in a thin mattress that made Nadya's tears trickle, a figure Nadya longed for long before him.
"Asalamualaikum, how are you sir?" Said Nadya with a soft tone while sitting next to Mr. Suryono.
"Waalaikumsalam, Who is it?" Mr. Suryono replied in a weak tone.
"This is my sir, Nadya Dwi Nurlita. Your Disciple in elementary school ". Answer Nadya shaking hands with the old man.
"Nadya? Oh Iya Nadya is my favorite pupil. Alhamdulilah Nak you've been successful as it seems now "Answer Mr. Suryono with a smile.
"Mr Nadya missed, since long Nadya looking for father, Nadya try to go to your old house but it turns out you have moved, and it seems you have changed the telephone number". Say
Sorry Mother, I want to ask something allow that? ". Said Nadya.
"Say son, what do you want to ask?" Answer Wife Pak Suryono.
"If you can know, since when did Mr. Suryono get sick like this?". Ask Nadya.
"Actually, my father has been ill for a long time, but 10 years of his illness is getting worse, I can not stand the pain. Finally I decided to sell my old house for your father's medical expenses. However, despite being treated at the hospital, father did not heal. Now I can not bring father to the hospital, I can only treat it with traditional ingredients only ". Ucap Wife Pak Suryono while shedding tears, making Nadya also crying to hear the story of Mr. Suryono.
"If I may want to take him to a large hospital for treatment, I will pay for all the treatment that will be served by Mr. Suryono. Do not you mind? ". Ask Nadya.
"Is it really like that? I really do not mind at all ". Ucap Wife Pak Suryono with a happy feeling.
"True, I can not bear to see him in such pain, anyway he is one of the most important people in my life". Answer Nadya.
Not waiting for a long time, immediately they rushed to bring Mr. Suryono to the hospital for intensive care. Never Nadya forget to always take time to keep Mr. Suryono alternately with his wife. All hospital fees and treatment are covered by Nadya. Because this is all Nadya can give as a token of repayment to what Pak Suryono has given for him.
After almost a year he was hospitalized but his illness did not heal. Not to forget Nadya always pray for healing Mr. Suryono. Month after month passed, day after day passed. In the second year of the Lord's will, Mr. Suryono breathed his last breath in the hospital. It makes Nadya very sad and can not accept the reality.
However, the wife of Mr. Suryono approached him and gave him a letter from Bapak Suryono for his beloved son before he died. When the letter was opened and read Nadya immediately shed tears, sobbing. In the letter Mr. Suryono said
For my favorite pupils: Nadya Dwi Nurlita
