REQUEST My name is Lala, BMI Hong Kong from Blitar, East Java. Before leaving for work to Hong Kong, I actually worked in my hometown, becoming a TPA teacher.
However, because the salary was not sufficient to meet the necessities of life, I finally decided to migrate to Hong Kong. Moreover, hearing the story of my neighbor who worked and got a good employer, was able to send his younger siblings to a higher level, build houses for parents and others.
Not to mention the story of their activities while spending the holidays, which made me curious about working in Hong Kong.
Everyone has a different fate, including me. But all I have to be grateful for is being able to work here safely. Everyone needs a struggle, I work at home with other Indonesian friends. However, because he is more senior than me, sometimes his attitude "exceeds the master". More often organize, nag, and act like a boss.
If the work problem is not a problem for me, he works to find a face when there is a boss who is pretentious, I understand. However, sometimes I wanted to scream when he was apart from grumbling about my work which was always wrong. He even forbade me to pray, read the Qur'an, and other worship. In fact, she herself wears a headscarf when on holiday.
It is not the intention of the heart to vilify the veiled, but really who knows where the conscience is. When I prayed, he protested. He said I wasted time. Meanwhile, when I prayed at rest, he was busy with his phone.
When I recited the Koran, he protested saying that tomorrow I have to work in the morning, no sok Koran diligently. In fact, employers do not prohibit worship, the important thing is that the work is done. I later found out, he had amulet from his grandmother so that the employer will soften his heart. I was annoyed, sometimes wanted to protest, but he threatened me, telling my employer to choose me or him.
The employer is silent. Every mistake he did, the employer seemed to close his eyes. Sometimes I really want to find a smart person so that the difficulties I face can quickly disappear and find a stronger handle from him.
But will my worship be accepted, because I trust in other powers more than Allah? “Musyrik, Lala! You can't be like him! ” I thought.
What I am doing right now is to be patient with everything, surrender to Allah, my work contract which is only a few months away. Of all the problems I faced, it increased my maturity in thinking and acting. (As told to Rima / localhost / project / personal / ddhongkong.org / ddhongkong.org). *
