The Meaning of Loyalty

Great true story for our example all that I got from the list next door (this story was once aired on MetroTV). Hopefully we can take a lesson.

This is a true story, he is Bp. Eko Pratomo Suyatno, Director of Fortis Asset Management who is very well known in the Capital Market and Investment circles, he is also very successful in advancing the Mutual Fund industry in Indonesia. What he said was very true. Please read and be appreciated.

Judging from his age, he is no longer young, who is already in his old age and is even approaching evening, 58 years old Pak Suyatno is filled with taking care of his wife who is sick, his wife is also old. They have been married for more than 32 years. They are blessed with 4 children.

This is where the trial started. After his wife gave birth to a fourth child, her legs suddenly became paralyzed and couldn't be moved. It lasts for 2 years. Stepping on the third year, his whole body became weak and even felt boneless, his tongue could no longer be moved.

Every day Pak Suyatno bathes, cleans dirt, feeds, and lifts his wife onto the bed. Before leaving for work, he put his wife in front of the TV so that she wouldn't feel lonely. Even though his wife couldn't speak, he always saw her smile.

Fortunately, Pak Suyatno's place of business is not so far from his house that he returns home to feed his wife during the day. In the afternoon he came home to bathe his wife, change clothes and after sunset he accompanied his wife to watch television while telling him everything he had experienced during the day. Even though his wife could only stare but couldn't respond, Pak Suyatno was quite happy, he even teased her every time he went to bed.

This routine was carried out by Mr. Suyatno for about 25 years. He patiently cared for his wife while raising their 4 children, now their children are adults, only the youngest is still in college.

One day, the four children of Suyatno gathered at their parents' house while visiting their mother. Because after their children got married, they already lived with their respective families and Pak Suyatno decided that their mother would take care of him, all he wanted was one, all the children were successful.

With a careful sentence, the eldest son said, "Sir, we really want to take care of you, since we were young, you saw you taking care of you, not a single complaint came out of your lips, you didn't even let us take care of you.

With tears in his eyes, the child continued the words: "This is the fourth time we have allowed you to remarry, we think your mother will allow it. When will you enjoy your old age, by sacrificing like this, we can't bear to see you. We promise we will take care of the mother well in turn ”.

Pak Suyatno answered something that his children didn't expect at all: “My children… If marriage and life in this world are only for lust, maybe you will get married .. but please know that having your mother beside me is more than enough, she has gave birth to you. For a moment his throat choked, you who I always longed to be present in this world with full of love that no one can be appreciated with anything. "

"Try asking your mother if she wants things like this? You want you to be happy, can you be happy in your heart to leave your mother with your current state, you want a father who is still given by God to have health care for others? How about your mother who is still sick. "

For a moment the children of Pak Suyatno burst out crying. They saw small beads falling in the eyes of Suyatno's mother. With sadness she looks into her beloved husband's eyes.

Finally, Pak Suyatno was invited by a private TV station to become a resource person and they asked Suyatno why he was able to survive for 25 years caring for his wife who couldn't do anything.

It was at that time that she burst into tears with the guests who attended the studio, most of the women could not hold back the emotion. That's where Pak Suyatno told me .. "If a human being in this world glorifies love in his marriage, but doesn't want to give (giving time, energy, thoughts, attention) it is futile."

“I chose my wife to be my life partner, and when she was healthy she patiently took care of me, loved me with her heart and heart not with her eyes, and she gave me 4 cute children. Now he's sick from making sacrifices for our love together. And it is a test for me, whether I can hold the commitment to love it as it is. Even healthy, I don't necessarily look for a replacement, especially if he is sick ... "

Life is a constant struggle, you don't have to cry yesterday.
