Deborah I was traveling that night was not too full, but not empty. All the seats are occupied. I was the last passenger to get an empty seat. This is the second time I have met the child. A buskid boy without any musical instruments, including clapping hands. Approximately 10 years old. I love to look at him, he's not like most street kids. Dirty, smelly, and singing sober. There are unique things in him, his clothes clean, wearing slippers, his hair fell not climmy, and nails hands and feet were clean. Like a home child. Her mother really took care of her, I thought that night.
One thing that concerns me, it turns out the child is less normal. Her singing style is spelled with words trying her best to make what she says is clearly heard. Apparently lyric sholawat badar became his favorite song. Several passengers smiled at him. Honestly, I also want to laugh wide. I tried to suppress my laughter by looking away from the window.
After singing, there is still one thing he did. He advised us on the benefit of five things before five things. Subhanallah, he brought it with a passion, full of confidence and very earnest. Without embarrassment, though not a few passengers who smiled a knot. Masya Allah, he prayed for us all. My heart is so roomy to hear it. It's different when the prayer is a mosque committee that there is a purpose to ask for donations. The boy was so innocent.
As usual, the street children will charge for the entertainment they have offered. Not except him. He started from the front seat beside the driver. One or two people have passed without giving anything. Alhamdulillah the third person has given him money. "Thank you sir, may rizkinya nambah yes sir" spontaneous boy was praying for the father. Masya Allah shakes my heart. He continues to pray for every passenger who gives him money. Passengers who give only able to say amen while nodding with a smile.
Usually I always select every buskar city buster, at least look at their looks and sincerity in singing. It is common knowledge that children's singers are those who are used by parents to earn a living. That is one of my efforts to reduce the rise of street children. But not for the boy. My hand was light to give him money, and I intend to give charity. I did not miss the prayer.
It's a lot of wisdom that I can take. The boy has reminded me many things. The sincerity in working to search for shame rizki is important halal, effort to do good can be done anywhere and by anyone, and airy our chest to spread prayer to anyone. May Allah grant His grace and His protection to the boy from evil in the night. Amiin.
