Cooking Oil for Rp1,000: Happiness Doesn't Always Come with a High Price Tag

Medan, North Sumatra - (06/26/25) Who would have thought that Jestham's act of selling cooking oil for just Rp1,000 would go viral while warming so many hearts? In the now-trending video, Jestham offers cooking oil at an unbelievable price—only a thousand rupiah—to various people, from online motorcycle taxi drivers and package couriers to street vendors. Their reactions ranged from shock and disbelief to joyful laughter. "Want to buy cooking oil for a thousand rupiah?" Jestham casually asks while holding out a bottle of oil. Immediately, many assumed it was a joke.



One of the funniest moments was when a delivery courier got flustered after being asked to pay Rp1,000. "Seriously, Sis? How can it be this cheap?" the courier asked while checking his wallet. Jestham simply smiled knowingly before handing over "change" that wasn’t just cash but also heartfelt blessings. "Here’s your change, Bro—a blessing from God!" he said, leaving the courier stunned before breaking into a wide grin.



Equally amusing was the reaction of a siomay (dumpling) vendor who initially thought Jestham was joking. "No way cooking oil costs just a thousand!" he protested with a laugh. But when Jestham insisted and even returned the money, saying, "This is a blessing for you," the vendor fell silent before thanking him with teary eyes. This simple yet touching moment left netizens emotional.

What made Jestham’s act even more special was the "surprise" behind that Rp1,000. Instead of taking the money, he returned it while spreading positivity. "Here’s your money back, and you can take the oil for free. May your business thrive!" he told a baffled ride-hailing driver. The driver’s skeptical expression instantly transformed into a beaming smile.



Jestham also managed to astonish a vegetable seller. When handed the Rp1,000 oil, the woman was confused as Jestham returned her money. "Wait, Miss, you're giving the money back?" she asked. Jestham laughed and replied, "Yes, Ma’am. This is a blessing for you. Stay healthy!" The woman immediately hugged the oil pack in gratitude.



The heartwarming yet hilarious act concluded with Jestham offering the oil to a young man. Though hesitant at first, the man burst into laughter when Jestham said, "Here’s your change—it’s a blessing!" Thumbs up, he exclaimed, "Whoa, never expected such a lucky break!" while capturing the moment.



Through this story, Jestham proves that happiness can come from simple gestures. It’s not just about material gifts but sincere surprises that make others feel valued.
