SEC16 W5: “My... Romeo and Juliet”

God tests us with something we love, so don't love it too much, because when we lose, we won't be trapped in prolonged sadness. @sofian88

I immediately burst into tears when I remembered the story of Grandpa Leman and Grandma Ainon who died right in the month of Ramadhan two years ago. For me, there is nothing that can be called a love story in this century beyond the love story inherited by the couple Grandpa Leman and Grandma Ainon.

Of course.... in this case my Romeo and Juliet was given to Grandpa Leman and Grandma Ainon, where their love story has opened my eyes and mind about the true meaning of love, about how love should be. One word that I heard directly from her was "This is no longer about my ego and your ego but this is about maintaining feelings." The point that Grandma Ainon wanted to convey at that time was that to love is to give in, then you will forever be loved.

Starting from a remote village corner around 71 years ago, Grandpa Leman, who was still 19 years old at that time, worked as a tree cutter on land owned by a merchant in the village where Grandpa Leman lived, every day starting from 7 am to 4 pm Grandpa Leman working to cut down large and small trees that belonged to his master.

Grandpa Leman had only been working as a tree cutter for five days. His parents were very satisfied with the results of Grandpa Leman's work. Apart from being diligent and a worker, Grandpa Leman was also a man who was honest and religious, so his master was amazed by Grandpa Leman's character.

On the sixth day of Grandpa Leman's work, the master ordered his daughter to deliver provisions and lunch every day so that Grandpa Leman would have enough energy to work and Grandpa Leman would also focus on his work because he no longer needed to cook or think about the supplies and food he needed every day. the day.

Two months passed, Grandpa Leman was still working on his old farm, but now he was no longer as a lumberjack, but as a foreman who was very much loved by his master because he always produced very satisfying work results.

Grandpa Leman's story is not about his job as a lumberjack or being entrusted with being a foreman on his master's field, Grandpa Leman's story is about a love story that has grown since the first day his master's daughter delivered supplies while Grandpa Leman was working and the more interesting story is that it turned out to be his master's daughter (Grandma). Ainon) also had the same feelings towards Grandpa Leman so that Grandma Ainon never missed a day to deliver provisions and lunch to Grandpa Leman while working on his father's farm.

Grandpa Leman's sturdy body and handsome face made it difficult to turn Grandma Ainon's face towards him. I can say that Grandpa Leman was the perfect man in the eyes of women at that time.

Long story short, Grandpa Leman and Grandma Ainon got married, they built a simple hut in the field that belonged to their parents or Grandma Ainon's father, they focused on taking care of the field and building a happy household together.

Grandpa Leman really loves Grandma Ainon, 71 years of marriage they have never hurt each other, Grandpa Leman always praises every dish that Grandma Ainon cooks, even if it's just boiled bananas and vice versa.

71 years into their marriage, not a single word has come out of Grandpa Leman's mouth that has hurt his partner, they have always lived in harmony and loved each other.

At 71 years of marriage, they were blessed with 6 children who had good character, because the two of them loved each other and were able to inherit pious and pious offspring, making almost all the residents in their village jealous of the harmony of Kekek Leman and Grandma Ainon's family.

Once upon a time, his wife's leg twisted due to the bumpy contour of the ground in the field where they were working, resulting in Grandma Ainon no longer being able to walk and being permanently paralyzed, that's where people thought that Grandpa Leman's love story was being tested and people thought it was a love story. They will often have time because Grandma Ainon, who is paralyzed, can no longer provide what Grandpa Leman needs.

All the residents' presumptions about Grandpa Leman's loyalty were refuted by Grandpa Leman's own behavior, even though Grandma Ainon's paralyzed condition did not change Grandpa Leman's attitude and attention towards his wife, in fact their love story was more romantic than before, before going to work in the fields Grandpa Leman always bathed and fed her. His wife came first, even during the day Grandpa Leman came home to feed him lunch and dinner, this was done every day until his wife died two years ago.

None of the work related to taking care of his wife was left to his youngest son who still lived with them. Grandpa Leman always did it himself, while his other 5 children were already married and lived far away from them.

3 days after his wife died, Grandpa Leman gathered all his children and left them with a message not to hurt each other's siblings, especially their partner who will look after them for the rest of their lives.

In a meeting with all his children, Grandfather Leman also said that he could not live without his wife by his side and he said that he wanted to be with his wife soon, all his children sobbed with every word that Grandfather Leman said.

The next morning, the children found Grandpa Leman's body lying stiffly on the bed with a smiling face, Grandpa Leman confirmed what he said last night that he couldn't live without his wife, all the children sobbed and hugged Grandpa Leman who was already lifeless above. bed.

"This story was quoted from several residents as living witnesses who saw first hand the love story of Kekek Leman and Grandma Ainon, this story was also corroborated by her youngest child who confirmed all the stories that were believed to be true"

We hope that every couple is Romeo and Juliet who loves their partner with all their heart, without anyone getting hurt by each other.

That's all for my participation this time, and on this occasion I will also invite my friends @sailawana, @marito47 and @alee75 to take part in this challenge.

hopefully it will be useful and thank you for everything.

May every day we pass be a goal for goodness and happiness together.

Best Regard
