The story of Mbak Sombret, Willing to Ride a Rp600 Thousand Motorcycle Taxi from Pekalongan to Solo to Accompany a Neighbor Departing for Hajj.

Dream - One of the customs of the community during the Hajj season is to accompany pilgrims who are about to depart for the holy land. Some accompany them to the local area, while others use group buses to accompany them to the hajj dormitory. This is also what the residents of Kulu Village, Karanganyar District, Pekalongan, Central Java do. Including Mbak Sombret, who accompanies her neighbor on a pilgrimage to Solo.

Not leaving with the group, Mbak Sombret is willing to ride a motorcycle taxi with a round trip fare from Pekalongan to Solo for Rp600,000. She did this because on the day of departure for the prospective hajj pilgrims from Pekalongan Regency, the accompanying bus from her village was already full.

Full Accompanying Bus

Quoting from the statement @pekalonganinfo, the crew of the fleet also did not dare to carry passengers exceeding the capacity of the seats. However, that did not discourage Mbak Sombret's intention to accompany her neighbor.

Finally, Mbak Sombret went to Kajen to meet one of the motorcycle taxi drivers who was waiting in front of the Kajen market. Then, she intended to hire a motorcycle taxi to take her neighbor to Solo. After negotiating, it was finally agreed that the round trip fare from Kajen to Solo is Rp600,000. At that time, Mbak Sombret brought a total of Rp1.5 million in cash.

After arriving at the Solo hajj dormitory, Mbak Sombret did not meet with the entourage from Kulu. Instead, she met with the entourage from Tanjungsari Kajen village.

"He conveyed that he was given pocket money from the Village Head of Tanjungsari, Uyun, amounting to IDR 100,000. After visiting the Hajj dormitory, Mbak Sombret returned to Kulu and arrived around 20:00. Even though Mbak Sombret falls into the category of less fortunate families in Kulu, the sense of solidarity towards neighbors is very high."

"So Netizen Spotlight"

That is what makes many netizens amazed by his sincerity. Many are praying for Mbak Sombret to also have the opportunity to participate in the pilgrimage to the holy land.
