One day, a father came home from work at 9:00 p.m. Like the previous days, that day was very tiring for him. When he got home he found his 8 year old son who was in grade 2 SD waiting for him at the door of the house. Looks like he's been waiting a long time.
"Why have not you fallen asleep yet?" said the father to his son.
Usually the child is asleep when he comes home from work, and only gets up when he is ready to go to the office in the morning.
"I'm waiting for Papa to come home, because I want to ask how much is Papa's salary?", Said the child.
"Why, don't you think, how come you ask Papa's salary? Do you want to ask for more money? ”Replied the father.
"Ah, no pa, I just ... just want to know ..." said his son.
"Okay, you can count it yourself. Every day Papa works about 10 hours and is paid Rp. 400,000. Each month an average of 25 working days is calculated. So how much is Papa's salary for a month, hey ?! ”Asked the father.
The child then ran to get a paper from the study table while his father took off his shoes and took a drink.
When the father went to the room to change clothes, the son followed him.
"So if one day Papa is paid Rp. 400,000 for 10 hours, that means that one hour Papa is paid Rp. 40,000 dong!"
"You are smart, now sleep huh ... it's already night!"
But the child didn't want to move. "Papa, can I borrow Rp. 10,000 or not?"
"It's late, son, why ask for money at night like this. Yes, tomorrow morning. Now you sleep "
"But papa .."
"Yes, now sleep" the voice of the father began to rise.
The little boy turned to his room.
The father seemed to regret what he said. Shortly thereafter he approached his son in the room. The child was sobbing while holding Rp.30,000 in cash.
While stroking the child's head, his papa said, "I'm sorry, Papa! Why do you ask for money at night like this ... I still can do it tomorrow. Never mind Rp. 10,000, more than that is fine. You want to use it to buy toys right? "
“Papa, I don't ask for money. I borrow ... I'll return it later when I save again from my allowance. "
"Yes .. yes .. but for what ??" asked the Papa.
"I'm waiting for Papa to come home today from 8 o'clock. I want to invite Papa to play snake and ladder. Just one hour dad, I beg you. Mama used to say that Papa's time was very valuable. So I want to buy Papa's time. I opened my savings, but there was only Rp.30,000 in cash. Earlier Papa said, for one hour Papa was paid Rp. 40,000 .. Because my savings was only Rp. 30,000, - and that was not enough, I want to borrow Rp. 10,000 from Papa. "The father was silent.
He was at a loss for words. He also hugged the little boy while crying. Hearing the words of his son, the father immediately fell silent, he was immediately touched, lost his words and cried ..
He then immediately embraced the child he loved while crying and apologizing to the child ..
"Forgive Papa, dear ..." said the Papa.
“Papa has made a mistake. All this time Papa forgot what he was working hard for. Forgive Papa, my son, ”said the Papa in the middle of his crying voice.
The child was silent in his father's arms.
I want to ask you at this time ..
Really, what is your reason for working so hard and seeking your career success?
For a lot of money? Or really for your family?
Often times we are so busy that we forget that at the end, it is the family that counts.
There is no point in you being successful but in the end your family has left you or your relationship with the family has been damaged.
In fact, fortunately the child talks and communicates with his parents to express his feelings.
Often times, children tend to be quiet and don't even talk to their parents about their condition at all.
When asked, they just answered "Nothing"
How can you solve a problem if you don't even know where the problem is?
This often occurs in children and especially occurs in children in adolescence.
They feel neglected / abandoned, unloved, disrespected by their parents.
The next question may be quite heavy for you ..
"In your opinion, you better love your child or your child feel loved by you?"
"Why have not you fallen asleep yet?" said the father to his son.
Usually the child is asleep when he comes home from work, and only gets up when he is ready to go to the office in the morning.
