My Success for Mom's Dad
The sustenance will not be changed

The day passed so quickly. Today in the multimedia room students of class XII conducted a USBN trial for the first time. All students are excited to take part in the USBN test. 

After the first exam time is completed, students take a break in advance to prepare for the next USBN trial. 

"Ana," Call Nia's mother.

"Yes ma'am," 

Nia's mother suddenly called my name from the front of the counseling guidance room. I immediately headed towards Mother Nia. 

"What's wrong mom?" 

"It's not a break, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ask Nia's mother. 

"Yes ma'am,"

"Let's go into the counseling guidance room."

I followed Mother Nia into the counseling guidance room. After being invited to sit in the consultation room, I only realized that it felt like being in this room some time ago was different from today. Today was quite calm and without a sense of worry that churned in the heart. 

Nia's mother took some papers and asked me to fill the sheet immediately. No doubt it is a scholarship application form sheet to be able to enter the University that I want through the invitation line. 

"You fill in this data, and it's completed immediately. Where do you want to go to college?" Mother Nia said while giving the registration form sheet. 

"Yes mom, thank you. What can I take this home because the data I did not bring and do not memorize."

"Yes it's okay. You haven't answered my question, where do you want to go to college?" Nia's mother threw the same question for the second time. 

"I want to study at the Islamic University of Indonesia." My answer is clear.

"Good, you must be eager to achieve your wishes. I'm sure you can, because you're one of the exemplary students at this school." Nia's mother provided quite an interesting motivation this time. 

I could only smile and nod slowly at Mother Nia's words. Understandably I'm not too close to Nia's mother. moreover, Ms. Nia has never taught in the classroom and is one of the teachers who are kilers to students, especially those who are often late and do not comply with school regulations. 

After speaking about the scholarship at length. I left the counseling guidance room and headed to the cafeteria. Maybe with five minutes I can buy food or drinks to replenish stamina before continuing the second hour USBN trial. 

....

I approached Aida my best friend from the beginning of high school. Aida who was busy eating alone without a single person accompanying immediately finished her meal when she saw my arrival. 

"Aida, well, why is the food over!" My whine to Aida.

"It's my fault why I was left behind and suddenly disappeared time out of the multimedia room." Aida sulks because I left her. 

"This is serious. I want dong!"

"Yes, I'll tell you later. I'm hungry."

I left my seat and ordered a bowl of chicken noodles and ice that was quite legendary and quite attractive to students, especially if not ice sugar cubes. 

After ordering I immediately returned to the seat.

"Ana, here's your plan to list college where?"

I heard the question again, but this time it was asked by my best friend. 

"Where are you?" I deliberately thought long just to irritate Aida. 

"Where? You must have a purpose." Aida forced me to tell her the truth. 

"I actually wanted to study at the University of Indonesia, but I'm not sure because of my family's current economic condition. Moreover, dad is often sick, I can't possibly leave both of my parents for too long." I explained a bit of the feeling that I was currently worried about. 

"If you want to continue to the University of Indonesia is not a problem, you must be enthusiastic. Your parents must be proud to have a child as strong and determined as you." Aida comforted me with a little praise. 

"Don't be praised, I did want to go to college out of town but there are a lot of things I have to consider first. Maybe one or two semesters I'll hold on for the next you're not sure yet. My parents are elderly, often fall ill, economic conditions are arguably lacking. Moreover, the steps I have to take other than wanting to help the economy and continue education." I continued my words. 

"You know not the saying that sustenance will never be changed!" Answer Aida.

"Yes I know, why?" My toot.

"Rezeki will not be exchanged because Allah SWT has provided sustenance to each of His servants according to their respective portions so there is no need to worry. It means Everyone has different sustenance and we should always be grateful for what we have. There is no need to envy the sustenance that others have because the sustenance will not be exchanged so what we have right now is the best. Some of us may wonder why other people can get abundant sustenance, while others have difficulty. Everything that has been outlined by Allah SWT must have wisdom that can be taken so there is no need to worry." Aida explains what the saying means. 

I began to think that it was true also what Ida said there was all God who set the scenario of human life in this world. Everyone's level of sustenance is different and Allah has determined it after the spirit is blown. Although sustenance has been established, but God also sees how hard work or effort we do so that it can facilitate the path of getting sustenance.

Sometimes, good results are not always we get directly even though we have worked hard. In contrast to some people who may be able to obtain abundant sustenance more easily and quickly. But believe that everyone's sustenance will not be exchanged.

The provision will come to those who deserve it. Whatever effort is made if indeed the sustenance is destined for someone, then that person will get his sustenance from anywhere and anytime.

So there is no need to worry and envy the sustenance of others because indeed Allah SWT knows best, what is needed by His servant.

What must be remembered is one thing behind the sustenance that Allah SWT gives is one way to thank him and expect the sustenance of blessings and Allah SWT is to multiply alms. The sustenance that we have is not entirely ours, but belongs to others who are blessed, such as orphans, poor people, and so forth.

We should share with each other by setting aside some treasures for people in need. Alms do not have to refer to the nominal amount only, but how sincere and Istiqomah in doing alms.
