The Soto Seller Story

Sore itu sehabis pulang kantor saya mampir ke kedai soto ayam Madura, di jl Ry Halim Cililitan Jakarta Timur dan saya memesan satu mangkok soto ayam dan duduk sambil membaca koran,menunggu macet yang belum juga terurai
Maklum nasib karyawan selalu terjebak macet saya suka sekali soto apalagi di musim hujan ini,

Tiba tiba datang seorang ibu dan dua anak yang masih balita dengan penampilan sederhana masuk ke kedai " pak berapa harga semangkok soto ,? Tanya ibu tersebut , 10 ribu Bu..!! Jawab penjual soto sambil tersenyum.."
" Kedua anak saya ingin makan soto,tapi uang saya hanya 7 ribu rupiah,maaf pak apa bisa di buat 2 porsi walau hanya kuah dan sedikit soun saja,ga jadi masalah,tanya si ibu sedikit ragu-ragu,. Ooh.. mari Bu silakan duduk ..!! Kata bapak penjual soto, lalu tidak sampai 5 menit 3 mangkok berukuran besar sudah dihidangkan di depan,
" Tapi uang saya cuma 7000 pak,? Tanya ibu itu sedikit ragu ragu..!! Sang ibu masih punya harga diri untuk meminta penuh..
" Oh nggak apa apa Bu, ibu bertiga makan saja,dan simpan uang ibu.."
Ibu itu tersenyum sambil membungkukan tubuhnya.
Saya tersenyum kagum melihat kebaikan penjual soto.. sayapun lanjut meneruskan makan saya dan tak lama si ibupun dan kedua anaknya beranjak pergi,sambil mengucapkan terima kasih yang tidak terhingga kepada bapak si penjual soto,

Kemudian seorang pemuda sepertinya keturunan Tionghoa yang dari tadi duduk cuek di pojokan,yang sambil main Smartphone nya,tiba tiba membayar kepada si penjual soto dengan uang pecahan 100,000 dan kemudian pergi begitu saja..
" Mas ini kembaliannya " ujar si penjual soto "
" Saya makan satu mangkok soto dan satu bungkus kerupuk sama teh manis ya,dan sisanya untuk bayar si ibu dan dua anaknya tadi" ya bang , kata pemuda itu ,sambil menghidupkan sepeda motornya,dan beranjak
pergi sambil merebus hujan,

Saya benar benar terpesona dengan kebaikan kebaikan yang dihadirkan Tuhan di depan mata saya,
Si ibu miskin yang tidak meminta minta,si bapak penjual soto yang baik hati serta pemuda yang pemurah,dan saya sendiri ikut kecipratan karena melihat kejadian itu,

Jika sejatinya semua orang tidak menggunakan hukum dunia untung rugi tentu pintu pintu kesempatan keberkahan akan banyak dibuka oleh Tuhan,
Jika saja setiap orang lebih dahulu memberi bukan meminta dunia punya banyak warna yang indah..

Selamat siang.

That afternoon after returning home I stopped by the Madura Soto Chicken shop, at Ry Halim Cililitan JL East Jakarta and I ordered a bowl of Soto Ayam and sat down while reading the newspaper, waiting for traffic jams that had not yet broken down
Understandably, the fate of employees is always stuck in traffic, I like to take a ride especially in this rainy season,

Suddenly came a mother and two children who were still toddlers with a simple appearance going into the shop "what price of a bowl of soto, sir? Asked the mother, 10 thousand ma'am ... !! Answer the seller of Soto smiling ..."
"Both of my children want to eat soup, but my money is only 7 thousand rupiahs, sorry sir, can you make 2 portions even if only the sauce and the little glass are not a problem, ask the mother a little hesitation. Ooh ... let's ma'am please sit down ... !! Said the soto seller, then not until 5 minutes 3 large bowls were served in front,
"But my money is only 7000 sir," asked the mother, a little hesitant ... !! The mother still has the pride to ask full ...
"Oh, it's okay, Mom, the three moms just eat, and save the mother's money ..."
The mother smiled while bending her body.
I smiled in amazement at the kindness of the Soto seller ... I continued to continue eating and soon the mother and her two children left, while thanking the countless thanks to the father of the Soto seller,

Then a young man seemed to be of Chinese descent who had been sitting indifferently at the corner, who, while playing his Smartphone, suddenly paid the seller of the soup with 100,000 coins and then left just like that ...
"This change," said the soto seller "
"I ate one soto bowl and one packet of crackers and sweet tea, and the rest to pay for the mother and her two children," bang, said the young man, turning on his motorcycle, and moved
go while boiling rain,

I am truly fascinated by the goodness of goodness that God presented before my eyes,
The poor mother who did not ask for her, the kind-hearted father of the soto seller and the generous young man, and myself were sprayed by the incident,

If in fact all people do not use the laws of the world for profit and loss, surely the door to the opportunity for blessing will be opened up by God,
If only everyone gave first instead of asking the world to have many beautiful colors ...

Good afternoon.
