There is a Father...

Can you imagine for a very touching story about a father that has a huge sacrifice but no one knows about it?? Until someday...

There is a father with a wonderful wife and children. This old man is an ordinary man, he is even a stubborn guy that most of the times becomes a boomerang for him. His attitude and thoughts, somehow, are uneasily accepted by his family and others. Conservative, high ego, etc... And as the consequences, he lives in not a good economy condition. Too much struggle, often meets deadlock, BUT... he doesn't give up. Always try to find way, even it is sometimes useless. Asks for loan from nearest friends, and most of the time failed his family. Fortunately, he has a very patient and lovable family.

When his son was in college, he did all the way to support the college fee although it was very hard. But, what the family have learned so far - Where there is a will, there is a way... and God will help - has become a great foundation for the family to move on with heads up high.

Until his eldest son finished his study in university, he began to take a bit rest with his eldest son supporting the family right now. But, his attitude, somehow, doesn't change. Still conservative, hard to be advised, etc. He thinks that he is a "know-everything" man. But, in fact... hmm... a big bull shit. Nonetheless, his family, most of the time, doesn't really care about what he said and all the crap came out from his mouth. It was like - there is no way to change his attitude, no way to get into his mind and wash his brain to think clearer, and speak humble.

Time goes by, until one day, everything revealed. All his bad are vanished with a fact that have been covered by him for a long time. Doesn't matter anymore with his attitude and thought. He showed what the real LOVE is.
So, it's like this... When his first son went into college, he pawned his wedding ring into a pawn company. He was to pay it's interest every three months to avoid the ring to auction. Nobody knows about this. Along this time, when his wife asked about the ring, he always said, "Yes, I keep it well. My finger's getting fatter. The ring is a bit narrow."

Until, one day... for about 5 years have been keeping the secret... He talks to his son about this. Nothing can come out from his (the son) mouth now. This somehow melts his heart. While he open his wallet and show a paper of receipt, the father said, "It is Rp 400K left to redeem the ring. Can you help me to get this wedding ring back? I love your mother and all of you. And nothing in my heart and my mind to let this ring off, moreover to let you all down. It was very hard to take this decision at that time. One of the hardest part in my life. But, I'd rather to lose the ring rather than to lose my family and failed my family."

His son cannot hold the tears dropping... He was amazed to his father...
