Busyness of Worldly Activities?
Everyday, people especially for they who live in Jakarta
must have felt like the picture above, leaving early in the morning or doing
anything in a rush if we oversleep. Sometimes we feel that the time which is
given to us as much as 24 hours still feels lacking and if given time more than
24 hours for sure we choose the time more than 24 hours. The above figures are
often encountered. Actually I've wanted to write since two days ago but due to
lack of time and opportunities, besides I also have to share my time with
family and my little angel, the most beautiful gift from Allah SWT named Dhisa Ezza Radhiya Putri, which is mean
"the daughter of Andy and Nisa whom expected to be solehah, intelligent
and virtuous ".
Subhanallah, thank you Allah SWT, you give health to me today so I can write on a Garuda Indonesia 608. Then, when I looked to the seat next to me there is a passenger who got ill (fever) and really sorry for him, and as I looked at the aircraft windows I can see the clean white clouds and the houses which looked like just dots and hardly noticeable. So how about humans? Certainly unseen at all.
When I was at the top and looked down I felt great and high, and when I was on the ground I felt big and tall if I look at the smaller things than me (the definition of small that I mean can be size, position, knowledge, wealth and handsomeness or beauty).
But when the plane shaked because of the bad weather, all sense of feeling high and feeling great were just gone, because everything belongs only to Allah while I am just a humble servant, sinful and not infallible.
Alhamdulillah, then I stopped writing for a while due to receiving the delicious food and my favorite chocolate ice cream but pity the passenger next to me, that young man was feverish he can’t enjoy the ice cream. Thank you Allah SWT and thank the stewards and stewardesses Garuda Indonesia for giving me good food with hospitality and the video I listened to while I was writing.
Back to the theme, worldly activities
My name is Andy Kurniawan, 32 years old at the time of 2012. I am the eldest of two brothers. At the beginning I write this story, I think I want to hide my identity but it seems not right or I was afraid to lie to God and all readers, May Allah SWT give inspiration and enlightenment in this paper. Amen.
I've worked for 8
years in a government agency. I got the knowledge about computer science and
Alhamdulillah I am capable of making computer application (programmer).
Programmers are very independent and their interest at the computer sometimes
unwittingly makes them selfish, they feel like they are very expert in the
field of computers, and arrogant (I felt it). When I first time got to my
workplace in Rangkas Bitung, I felt the obvious difference compared to what I
felt first time in Jakarta. The office building had not completely built. And
when I entered the office environment the land were still earthy red and had
not been asphalted. It’s very contradictory to all that I received before I
work in Rangkas Bitung. I used to work in an apartment and now I work in remote
areas and distances between Jakarta and Rangkas Bitung are about 3 hours drive if using a car or bus. My
first experience in Rangkas Bitung is being pickpoketed when I took the train
for the first time to Rangkas Bitung. A hunch that I felt when I was about to
left was to buy cigarettes and split the money in two pockets of my jeans. In
the right pocket there is a money of 300 thousand rupiahs and in the left
pocket there is a money of 70 thousand rupiahs. I've never been to Rangkas
Bitung and have never had the experience of riding the train, when the train
was crowded and I was leaning back and holding my pants pocket, over time I was
in the middle of a railway carriage, and there was many people were going to go
out of the train and they jostle. At that moment pickpocket’s hands grope into
the pockets of my jeans and reached 300 thousand money. It happened so fast. At
that time I freaked out and just a few minutes away to got to the Rangkas
Bitung station. I was very angry, upset and confused at that time, because I
only had 70 thousand rupiahs left in my pocket. Initially, I intend to see the
location of my office and search for my homestay but after that incident, what
I thought is I have to go straight home. At that time I asked Allah SWT so that
I could return home safely. Alhamdulillah, I could got home safely.
When I was in Rangkas Bitung, I noticed the condition of
the office building that has not been ashpalted and the computers were only a
few units. I was entrusted to make the application in Rangkas Bitung. I worked
several months without salaries and if I remember that moment I felt like I was
dropped by God from the palace to the village because when I worked in Jakarta
everything is available and the money is sufficient, the problem is just about
the lack of time that I have. Otherwise, when I was in Rangkas Bitung I had
more spare time but I had no money and facilities. But I am still grateful that
I felt I was safe and did not need to look for job again because of being a
Civil Servant.
My daily activities are making computer programs and
working with computer programs. Unconsciously, I always work alone and only
busy with myself and less socializing with my office mates. But I feel happy
and excited although not on the payroll, maybe because I had the time and job
which is match with my interest.
After a while, I was transferred to Jakarta because I was
needed there. So I back to my busyness and ignoring the time and I felt like
the time passed so fast. Early in the morning, I had to be set and were
immediately confronted to the work and make the application, besides the
problem of some employees were not really understand about computers. I felt
like I was losing my spare time and in many times I pray right before the end
of praying times. I also often late for lunch.
I often go out of the town; Bandung, Cianjur, Palembang,
West Nusa Tenggara and other cities. My time was spent for worldly activities
only and I always in a rush to make the application. Sometimes I had to sleep
late night, and even in some nights I hadn’t slept at all because the
application must be completed at that time. When my wife was pregnant, I was
with him just only for few days because I often went out of town for job
purpose. Prayer is only a mere duty, life is just to make money and the
pleasure and satisfaction of a job and job targets that must be met. Apparently
Allah the most seeingful didn’t leave me alone gripped by excitement and bustle
of the world. I often feel the emptiness and felt like there was something
missing, although I had a steady job, money and position probably has no equal
with me because the only one who expert in computer was only me. My arrogance
and the feeling of having everything controlled my life at that time. Until
then, I’d never asked about the money of my wife and I never tried out to ask.
The habit of going away from home at that time makes me forget and fall asleep
and I felt as the busiest man in the
world because at that time I solved out almost all of the problems.
Allah warned me with smallpox when the pregnancy of my
wife was at third month. I reluctantly had to took a rest at home and had to
sleep alone. I felt the heat at a certain time, in the afternoon or in the
morning. And felt the itch that are not measurable as the smallpox had been
out, and I wanted to scratch it so much.
Because I was usually busy with my activities and had a
wealthy life, the excess money made me to be extravagant and consumetive. I do
not understand the value of money and the importance of money at that time. The
point is, if I wanted something then I bought it and I was not so concerned
with the business and needs of others. When I got ill, I felt like in bondage
and I thought why Allah SWT wicked me because of this ill I can’t work and
itching due to smallpox also makes me miserable, besides my wife couldn’t be
with me.
