Cerpen Segelas Susu

Suatu hari, seorang anak lelaki miskin yang hidup dari menjual asongan dari pintu ke pintu, menemukan bahwa dikantongnya hanya tersisa beberapa sen uangnya, dan dia sangat lapar. Anak lelaki tersebut memutuskan untuk meminta makanan dari rumah berikutnya. Akan tetapi anak itu kehilangan keberanian saatseorang wanita muda membuka pintu rumah. Anak itu tidak jadi meminta makanan, ia hanya berani meminta segelas air. Wanita muda tersebut melihat, dan berpikir bahwa anak lelaki tersebut pastilah lapar,
oleh karena itu ia membawakan segelas besar susu. Anak lelaki itu meminumnya dengan lambat, dan kemudian bertanya, ”berapa saya harus membayar untuk segelas besar susu ini ?” Wanita itu menjawab: ”Kamu tidak perlu membayar apapun”. ”Ibu kami mengajarkan untuk tidak menerima bayaran untuk kebaikan” kata wanita itu menambahkan. Anak lelaki itu kemudian menghabiskan susunya danberkata :” Dari dalam hatiku aku berterima kasih pada anda.”

Sekian tahun kemudian, wanita muda tersebut mengalami sakit yang sangat kritis. Para dokter dikota itu sudah tidak sanggup menganganinya. Mereka akhirnya mengirimnya ke kota besar, dimana terdapat dokter spesialis yang mampu menangani penyakit langka tersebut. Dr. Howard Kelly dipanggil untuk melakukan pemeriksaan.

Pada saat ia mendengar nama kota asal siwanita tersebut, terbersit seberkas pancaran aneh pada mata dokterKelly. Segera ia bangkit dan bergegas turun melalui hall rumahsakit, menuju kamar si wanita tersebut.
Dengan berpakaian jubah kedokteran ia menemui siwanita itu. Ia langsung mengenali wanita itu pada sekali pandang.Ia kemudian kembali ke ruang konsultasi dan memutuskan untuk melakukan upaya terbaik
untuk menyelamatkan nyawa wanita itu. Mulai hari itu,Ia selalu memberikan perhatian khusus pada kasus wanita itu.

Setelah melalui perjuangan yang panjang, akhirnya diperoleh kemenangan.. . Wanita itu sembuh !!.
Dr. Kelly meminta bagian keuangan rumah sakit untuk mengirimkan seluruh tagihan biaya pengobatan kepadanya untuk persetujuan. Dr. Kelly melihatnya, dan menuliskan sesuatu pada pojok atas lembar tagihan, dan kemudian mengirimkannyake kamar pasien. Wanita itu takut untuk membuka tagihan tersebut, ia sangat yakin bahwa ia tak akan mampu membayar tagihan tersebut walaupun harus dicicil seumur hidupnya.

Akhirnya Ia memberanikan diri untuk membaca tagihan tersebut, dan ada sesuatu yang menarik perhatiannya pada pojok atas lembar tagihan tersebut. Ia membaca tulisan yang berbunyi.. ”Telah dibayar lunas dengan segelas besar susu..” tertanda, DR Howard Kelly.

Air mata kebahagiaan membanjiri matanya. Ia berdoa :”Tuhan, terima kasih, bahwa cintamu telah memenuhi seluruh bumi melalui hati dan tangan manusia”

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
