Kisah Selembar Uang Kertas Pecahan Seratus Dolar


Kisah Selembar Uang Kertas Pecahan Seratus Dolar


Dia adalah seorang anak susah yang terlahir dalam keluarga miskin, ayahnya wafat pada saat usianya tiga tahun, ibunya mencari nafkah dengan mencuci pakaian orang. Maka dia sadar kalau dirinya harus bekerja keras.

Pada usia 18 tahun, dia berhasil masuk perguruan tinggi dengan nilai yang tinggi. Demi mencukupi biaya sekolahnya, ibunya pernah menjual darah, namun dia berpura-pura tidak tahu, sebab takut melukai hati ibunya.

Dia sendiri pernah menjual darah secara sembunyi-sembunyi tanpa diketahui ibunya, mengangkut batu sampai tangannya berdarah, juga menjual koran, demi sedikit meringankan beban ibunya.

Pada masa liburan musim dingin tahun kedua, dia pulang ke rumah dan melihat ibunya sedang mencuci pakaian orang dalam cuacasangat dingin, kedua tangan ibunya sampai pecah-pecah karena kedinginan. Ibunya berkata: “Pekerjaan lain sulit ditemukan, jadi hanya bisa mencuci pakaian, sehelai pakaian upahnya satu dolar, semua ini adalah pakaian orang kaya, mereka takut pakaiannya rusak kalau mempergunakan mesin cuci.”

Hari itu, ibunya menerima upah kerjanya dan berkata dengan gembira: “Anakku, ibu mendapatkan upah 200 dolar.”

Sambil berkata ibunya merogoh kocek, siapa tahu di dalam koceknya hanya tersisa selembar uang kertas pecahan 100 dolar saja.

Seketika ibunya menjadi panik: “Ibu kehilangan 100 dolar.”

Tanpa berkata banyak, ibunya dengan tergesa-gesa ke luar rumah. Di luar rumah sungguh gelap, angin juga kencang dan turun salju, ibu menelusuri jalan pulang tadi untuk mencari uangnya. Dapat dilihat kalau 100 dolar itu adalah sangat penting baginya.

Itu adalah biaya hidup ibunya selama sebulan, itu adalah uang makannya selama sebulan.

Ibunya sudah ke luar rumah, dia juga mengikuti ibunya ke luar rumah. Di luar sangat gelap, ibunya mempergunakan lampu senter untuk mencari uangnya. Tanpa terasa air matanya mengalir turun.

Benar! Itu adalah upah ibunya mencuci 100 helai pakaian. Dia mencari di halaman rumah, juga mencari di jalan, tetapi tetap saja tidak ditemukan. Jika pun ada, mungkin sudah pun dari tadi dipungut orang lain.

Ibunya bolak balik tiga kali untuk mencari uangnya. Dia berkata kepada ibunya dengan hati pilu: “Ibu, tidak usah cari lagi, nanti sesudah hari terang baru kita cari lagi.”

Namun ibunya tetap bersikeras ingin mencari, cahaya dari lampu senter di kegelapan malam seakan menikam lubuk hatinya dan membuat rasa sakit tiada terhingga.

Dia lalu mengambil 100 dolar dari uang biaya hidup yang diberikan ibunya dan meletakkannya di halaman rumah. Dia beranggapan kalau ini adalah jalan terbaik untuk membebaskan ibunya dari kegalauan.

Ternyata dia mendengar ibunya berkata dengan senang: “Anakku, uang sudah ditemukan.”

Dia berlari ke luar dan ikut bergembira bersama ibunya. Dengan gembira ibu dan anak kembali ke dalam rumah. Ibunya berkata: “Anggap saja tidak ditemukan. Mari, ini untukmu! Kamu harus makan yang lebih baik, lihat! Kamu terlalu kurus.”

Beberapa tahun kemudian, dia tamat kuliah dan mendapatkan pekerjaan yang baik. Dia lalu menjemput ibunya untuk tinggal bersama di kota, sejak itu ibunya tidak perlu lagi mencuci pakaian orang.

Uang kertas pecahan seratus dolar itu, dia tidak pernah merasa rela untuk mempergunakan dan terus disimpannya. Itu adalah uang kertas pecahan seratus dolar yang dicari ibunya semalaman, melambangkan kehangatan dan perasaan penuh kemantapan.

Setelah beberapa tahun kemudian, dia mengungkit hal ini dalam suatu kesempatan, sambil tersenyum berkata kepada ibunya: “Ibu, saya yang menaruh uang kertas pecahan seratus dolar itu di sana.” Namun yang mengejutkannya adalah jawaban ibunya: “Ibu tahu”.

Dengan heran dia bertanya: “Bagaimana ibu bisa tahu?” Ibunya menjawab: “Uang yang ibu dapatkan selalu diberi tanda, ada tulisan 1, 2, 3 di atasnya, sedangkan uang kertas itu tidak ada tanda, apalagi ditemukan di halaman rumah. Ibu tahu kalau itu adalah uang yang kamu taruh karena takut ibu galau. Dalam hati ibu berpikir, karena anak ibu demikian sayang pada ibu, maka ibu tidak boleh mencari lagi, jikalau sudah hilang dan tidak akan ditemukan lagi, kenapa tidak membuat anak ibu tenang hati saja?”

Dia lalu maju memeluk ibunya dengan mata berkaca-kaca.

Sungguh ibu dan anak yang bertautan hati, mereka selalu meninggalkan cinta kasih terhangat kepada pihak lain. Benar sekali, walau pun miskin, namun dengan adanya cinta kasih, maka mereka merupakan orang paling kaya di dunia ini.

Pencarian sehelai uang kertas pecahan seratus dolar ini melambangkan dalamnya kasih sayang antara ibu dan anak.

because..



Moving on from the ocd habits and rituals.
Moving on from the fears and anxieties that haunt my everyday living.
Moving on is the only way to get better and the only way to live, because living in fear and anxiety isnt a life. Its being alive, but not living.

and hopefully..

welcome september

Got this from random blog..


1. fight for something worth it..

2. Too bad people don’t fall in love at the same pace, at the same time, for the same reasons, and it’s too bad that those emotions don’t move simultaneously. But each bit of madness moved at its own pace, one not dependent on the pace of anyone else. It wasn’t like tandem skydiving, where you were connected as you fell, where you were forced to fall at the same rate and use the same parachute. Falling in love is a solo act. I knew that, I just learned the hard way. You just jump and hope that your parachute will open. Sometimes, you look up and realize that you were falling by yourself, the object of your desire still on the plane, not interested in jumping and watching you descend into that scary place alone.





3. I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it, too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don’t like, I’ll tell them.





4.Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before finding the right one, so that when we finally find the right one, we will know how to be grateful.




5. You can’t design your life like a building. It doesn’t work that way. You just have to live it and it will design itself. Listen to what the world is telling you what to do and take the leap.





6. Sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be.


 


7. People say that it’s the bad memories that cause the most pain, but actually, it’s the good ones that drive you insane.

I feel like I’m waiting for something that isn’t going to happen Featured on Best love quotes on Tumblr | 



8. If you want me in your life, put me there. I shouldn’t have to fight for a spot.





9. There is a difference between love and like, and wrong and right. Never run if you’re not ready to step. And never forgive if you’re not ready to forget.




10. Don’t need someone that sees what’s good about me. I need someone that sees the bad, and still wants me.






11. She’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if she can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if she admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you could break. Don’t hurt her, don’t change her, and don’t expect for more than she can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when she makes you happy, yell when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect girls don’t exist, but there is always one girl that is perfect for you.


12. It’s not about the labels or becoming official. It’s about getting to know someone well enough to develop genuine feelings for them. It’s about being understanding and forgiving when situations are at their worst. It’s about loving someone, not for what they have to offer, but for who they are. It’s never about blaming your significant other for not treating you like how you want to be treated, it’s about how hard they try to keep you around.







13.We all want to believe that love is this magical thing that fixes our problems and makes things perfect. We look for the love that we see in movies and fall for all of Hollywood’s lies. But the truth is, love will never be like that. Love is something you have to work at and fight for. It’s not always pretty and it’s definitely not magic, because not even love can keep two people together if they don’t try.



14.Love, being in love, isn’t a constant thing. It doesn’t always flow at the same strength. It’s not always like a river in flood. It’s more like the sea. It has tides; it ebbs and flows. The thing is, when love is real, whether it’s ebbing or flowing, it’s always there. It never goes away. And that’s the only proof you can have that it’s real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy.



15. Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.
