Worthwhile Feminism
Have you ever seen this
case?
It often happen everywhere
but rarely in my eyes.
One day, I went to kota
malang at cock-crowk, I'll attend one islamic meeting. I got a move on
attending it, merely not to make me and my father late. But admittedly, the
tire of our motorcycle was leaking after we had 10km journey.
Under the dark of sky, we
searched tire repair while walked. You surely know that it was so earlier,
there were no any tire repair opened. I asked to villager where the tire repair
was. She said that there was one tire repair around 1km. I and my daddy
contiued our searchings, we arrived to one house with sign 'tambal ban' in
front its house. We knocked at the door and shouted out to call the
householder, but there were no any answer. Yaa, they still slept probably.
We continued our
searchings again meanwhile I felt discomfort to my eyes because of dust. We
walked again until we found wooden house and there was sign 'tambal ban'. I
knocked and shouted. After a long time fortunately there was an
middle-aged woman appeared from that house. She aggreed to repair our
motorcycle but she said to pray shubuh in advance. She asked us to sit at
wooden seat and tried to clean it. I permitted to minimarket searching medicine
for my eyes. Returning from minimarket, I was very shocked. Why? Because the
middle-aged woman repaired the tire by herself. I thought that still there was
her husband but astonishable that woman who opened and also worked that tire
repair.

She's hero
for her family
|
She told about her life to
me. She lived alone aside this avenue. She came from Jakarta, she moved to
Malang because she was expelled by government Jakarta due to cleaning
environment Jakarta (re : penggusuran rumah). Marvellously, she had 4
children and all of them are studying until college. She also told how she
wanna open that tire repair merely because she wanna help everyone who undergo
leaking tire at midnight. She grateful to have ability repairing tire of
vehicle because it's worthwhile for everyone.
How nobly this woman. She
come from low level of living, she's one of another people who don't get lucky
in this world. She must survive by herself alone to fill necessity for her
family. She courages to live aside street and repairing everyone who need her
aid. Even so earlier or midnight, she wanna help everyone.
Readers, she's tangible
form of worthwhile feminism. She do what's actually man do. She can use
feminism in right way, she uses it to survive. Woman is marvellous, woman can
do everything. Here, we see poor woman who has magnanimity that we must make it
as example. She lives not only for herself but to help another people even just
through repairing tire.
