Indonasia Diary

Period of struggle was over now; it was time when Harza could call himself a self-dependent guy. But it was not that easy. It took 4 year for him to reach here. During the time, Harza swept roads, wiped glasses of cars and worked as porter too.

Harza went Jakarta in search of his dreams. He was not finding it easy in country side of Indonesia. Lack of opportunity took him to a big city, but bigger were the challenges too.

This struggle made him a real man and now he had a general Merchant shop in main market of city. It was time to celebrate success with family. He was returning home after 4 long years.

There was a big welcome for him and people were anxious about his story. He told them about Jakarta and various other things but kept silence about the time of his struggle.

Mother was happy to see his son, She had already seen a girl for him, and soon Harza was married with Ayu. Along with Ayu, Harza returned back to Jakarta. Ayu was a lucky girl. Her feet gave wings to Harza's business; business was growing day by day.

Both of them were happy and decided to sell land and leave village permanently. Ayu was an orphan so she was quite interested that Harza's parents should live with them.

They did the same and now they had felicity of parents along with them. One day Harza read that foreign investment in retail is coming to Jakarta. Less educated Harza was not bothered about the news. But soon he was going to be affected.

After one year, a big glass showroom was there in front of his small shop and his regular customers started to go there for shopping. Sales were being very bearish, even he was unable to bear daily expenses of livelihood.

Harza was working hard to make money for his family but it was difficult & he was still unaware about the sudden change.
