by : Hartadi Amin.June 12th 2008, It was my first successful business in www.ebay.com. i was sold a buginesse keris to the buyer from Singapore, named mr. Sufian Bin Ahmad Saroom..
While that time, I get US$ 190 for this Keris, I need to share my happiness to my family (Child, Wife, Brother, Sister, and cousins).
My Mamiq (Fathers for Lombok people who had complete Hajj prayed in Mecca) have a small restaurant that selling Hot Sauce Chicken, etc. I was called mamiq to inform that we will have a small party there with all family, this is to celebrate my first sold in ebay.
He sounds very happy also to heard that we will visit his restaurant, he ask all the restaurant worker to prepare the food for us to come.
That was Saturday 8 pm, we start having dinner, Mamiq just sitting on the corner white chair that he easily watch all of us dinner and my child playing arround. I don't know if that was my last chance to see him.. before we come home, he pray for my Keris business said, that wish your business growing up also for me to be just the only one biggest sucessful Keris seller in my village... Mamiq.. thank you for that.
It was Friday, June 13th 2008 when mu uncle Muksin get married, i was in hurry to come to the wedding ceremony, so i just take the Peci (Muslim's cap) in mamiq's house. Mamiq try to give me the white hajj cap, but i didn't want to wear that. If I know that is his last request, then I will wear the hajj cap for him.
After the wedding celebration, i went to Sumbawa for working, I have chance to see good bye to mamiq pior to Sumbawa. Honestly I see something different on Mamiq's face at that time, It looks like a sign that he will pass away soon.
Monday, June 16th 2008, As normally activity, I'm going to have shower after 12 hours working, It was 18.45 after I wash my body and ready to finish my Maghrib praying. My handphone rang.. and it was from my sister Wiwik in Bandung, she said what happen in Lombok ? why everybody cry and screaming Mamiq..? I keep my mind stay cool.. Then i called my sister Ida in Lombok, she cannot said anything, just crying and said mamiq..mamiq... she looks uncontrol her self emotion.
Then I call my big brother Yadi, he is busy on the Emergency Room in Hospital, I can heard his sound very said but he kept strong. He told me what went wrong.. and ask me to be patient and pray for mamiq..
I was start spin my head, then call Pak Ding (my boss in Newmont) to drop me to the public transport to get soonest to Lombok for helping Mamiq.. His response is very helpfull. He drop me down to Benete to find the transport for me.
On my way to benete, my brother Yadi call that Mamiq has pass away from Heart attack, suddenly I was unconscious and keep crying.
I'm lucky having many good friend who care abouth me while this difficult situation.. Pak Ding, Pak Yunus, Mas Arif, Mas Anjar, Pak Cho.. thank you for help me during that time.
