A Blessed Journey: The Struggle of a Devout Molen Seller

Binjai City, North Sumatra—(08/02/25) Amidst the bustling streets of Binjai, as the city prepared for the vibrant Lunar New Year celebrations, a man stood in a forgotten corner, battling the harsh realities of life. The contrast between the festive atmosphere and his solitude, between hope and hardship, painted the backdrop of a deeply touching story—a drama of life unfolding on the streets.

Jesica Thamrin and her team, walking through the city, stumbled upon a scene that tugged at their hearts. On the dusty roadside, an elderly man stood beside his modest molen cart, patiently waiting for someone to stop and buy his goods.

With gentle steps, Jestham approached the man, greeting him with a warm smile. A brief interaction began. The man, a husband and father of five, shared his life story, filled with twists and turns. From dawn till dusk, he roamed the streets with his molen cart, moving from one spot to another, yet never forgetting his duties as a devout Muslim. Amidst his busy schedule, he always found time to pray, even leading prayers at the mosque before sunset.

The man recounted the ups and downs of his trade—sometimes his goods sold out quickly; other times not a single item was bought. Yet, he never gave up, always fighting for his family waiting at home. He expressed his deep love for his family, especially his wife, who had sacrificed so much to raise and educate their children. Just speaking about it brought tears to his eyes.

The Molen Seller Works Hard and Devotes Himself to Worship

Jestham was deeply moved, as if her soul had been touched by a miracle. Without hesitation, she bought all of his molen, allowing him to return home early to embrace his family. Tears of gratitude streamed down the man’s face as he felt blessed to have encountered Jestham’s kindness, as if an angel had crossed his path.

At that moment, memories of his mother’s advice and love came flooding back, filling him with a sense of divine blessing, as if his soul had been illuminated by a heavenly light. Witnessing the man’s sincerity, resilience, and love, Jesica Thamrin not only purchased his goods but also gave him a little extra money, like a drop of dew in a barren desert. The man accepted the gift with teary eyes, overwhelmed with gratitude and thankfulness.

This story is a reflection of life, showcasing the strength of love and responsibility of a father and husband. His determination, patience, and unwavering spirit to fight for his family serve as an example worth cherishing. May every effort made with sincerity and prayer be blessed and rewarded by the Creator. Keep going, sir! May every step you take be filled with goodness and blessings, and may your kindness and loyalty to your family inspire countless souls.
