Inspirational Contemporary Creative Nonfiction

I am a resident who lives near a public trash can, Here you can find residents as officials who are silent with the establishment, officials who process trash in suits and ties and whose women dress elegantly in white shirts and shirts with black blazers as if to signal a different association. Her children look elegant. However, the scavengers are far from established.

Indeed, trash cans smell of garbage, especially near public toilets, it's impossible to smell good. Can you imagine how it smells? Outside or in the trash can area, that's true, but it's different if you come, stop by and visit the homes of the residents, there you find the smell of a house full of fragrances and the arrangement of a luxurious and elegant home, and mine is no exception.

The garbage cart puller there has a classy luxury car and is clearly the opposite of reality. It's ironic because everything is clearly different when you have a piece of diploma paper in the formal sector then you will enjoy beauty even though not everyone has it or is lucky. It is 180 degrees different from those who do not have a diploma or enter the formal sector of their institution.

It is true that God is fair in creating classes so that the poor need the rich for the sake of their lives as well as the rich will need help and energy from the poor. Once one of the Hadiths that I studied in a hadith when I was a child believed "You only get help and sustenance because there are weak people from among you." However, the reality is different, as if the rich become arrogant and arrogant with their wealth, thus marginalizing the existing poor. Fortunately, I saw scavengers who incidentally are not well-off people who seem to be carrying out what has been stated in the Hadith "Indeed, Allah helps this community because of their weak people among them, namely by praying, praying, and their sincerity." that's just my assumption, whether true or not, patience is the key to the test that God gives to his creatures.

The place is an arena for seeking fortune and even so there is rarely competition and conflict between them. The Integrated Garbage Treatment site, which is quite far from the city centre, is also dirty and full of rotten doors, and even then, it turns out that there is a beauty from the incarnation of a goddess who descended from heaven and turned out to be lost at the garbage collection site. The scavengers who each deposit plastic and various recyclable wastes. But she, the young girl who is not even 17 years old, has to live hard by scavenging. She was forced to leave her hometown because she was lulled into a promise to be hired as a maid in order to support her elderly mother and younger siblings who needed money for their education.

But the reality is different. It turns out that the person who promised to give him a job is a pimp. He must abandon the norms and ethics that he has embedded in his life. But he rebelled and ran away from reality and turned into a disease of society. He was stranded living on the streets, armed with faith he picked up mineral water bottles, cans and all items that could be recycled to garbage collectors.

Indeed, her body is dirty but her beauty never fades how women are busy going for manicures and pedicures or injecting serum for the beauty of their skin and face or scrubs while she scrubs with dust and garbage, as if the bacteria or bacteria that used to break down trash are reluctant to take care of her clean body. Beautiful. Even though it looks a bit shabby, dull and dirty, it doesn't make her body sick. It's strange to see him struggling with trash every day.

Garbage park is like a dry paradise, all enjoyed in a maze thread. She remains steadfast in her beliefs and purity even though many people sometimes tempt her. She still holds the norms and ethics where her religion teaches her how to behave. She is a teenager who has to give up her youth to have fun. It is hoped that good fortune will lead him to a reality for a better fate.

One day the head of TPST saw him scavenging, and then was tempted by the beauty that Sunarti possessed. A trick was used to get her by starting to send food through a person instructed by Pak Narto to mention the official's name. However, she only accepted and gave it to others. And that was known to him, but he did not stop to be able to have and enjoy her ripeness. Various ways have been done, starting from going to a shaman to peel her, but the results are still nil.

The various tricks performed by Pak Narto clearly did not work for Narti because he is a being who, despite his deprivation, still obeys the Creator. He is not deceived by the world's material because what he does is achieve sincerity to God. Until finally, He gave up with her firmness

When he has free time he collects children to teach them about reading and writing even though he only graduated from junior high school. Understandably, when he continued his education at SMK when he was in grade 2, he had to be willing to leave it because he had to support his mother and younger siblings because he had to struggle due to the death of his father. When he had just entered grade 2. Conditions that maybe some people were impossible to live with but not in a literal way, there were people who came to his family to offer jobs but that was not the case so he was thrown here where bitter and bitter is felt in this life of course it will bear fruit.

The honesty and sincerity that she has done for the community has been appreciated by many residents who are not far from the waste processing site. He saw it as something good and was forced to give up his masculine side in the name of benefiting society. He invited his wife and child to help her to eradicate illiteracy in that area. She also understood this and from the start thought that Pak Narto was her own father because if you do the math, they are almost the same age.

She is a portrait of how to behave because we have to benefit others no matter how little we give, alms don't have to be in material form but can be in other forms, similar to what she does, being a teacher, ustadz, ustadzah, sensei, Laose or whatever it's called don't have to go through formal education and teach in formal education too.

She only had Junior High School education, but she was able to change the world of people's thinking about the old-fashioned meaning of education with academic assessment. She was able to overcome the arrogance of education which never touched the realm of the society in which she lived. He emphasizes that being smart does not need to go to school, because he often collects the books he picks up when he collects waste and becomes a reading garden which is clearly beneficial for himself and his students. Thank you for what She does for the benefit of education.

After I read this story, there are lots of messages that can be taken from this story. The message of the story is that wealth and status do not guarantee happiness and morality, as seen with the officials who are corrupt, while the scavenger, who lives in poverty, remains pure and firm in her beliefs. Despite her difficult circumstances, she still helps others and remains devoted to her religion. The story highlights the importance of values such as honesty, sincerity, and humility in leading a fulfilling life, rather than material wealth.
