Breaking the Promise
Unleash Angel

Six years passed, Angel eagerly accelerated his lectures by taking all the remaining courses, so that in the next semester he could start his thesis. Angel attended the private Higher School of Science Admiistrasi in Bandung. He was not accepted in the country because at the time of the simultaneous examinations, he fell ill and could not take the exam.

Aunt Ella was married a month ago. Finally, he found a suitable partner. Now, she lives with her husband in a different house, though not far from Hendra's house.

“Ngel, after graduation later, what do you want?” Ask Aunt Ella who was enjoying dinner at Hendra's house.

“Go, Bi.” Angel answered, chewing her food.

“There is a reference?” Ask Aunt Ella's husband, whose name is Dawn.

Angel shakes. “Scription also not yet, Mang.”

Amang, Angel's call to Dawn, which means Uncle.

“Amang has a friend, he said the company in his office would like to set up a branch in Jakarta. But next year, because now they are still focused on one headquarters located in Bali.”

“The company is good, A?” Aunt Ella asked her husband.

“He said, good. Managing government development projects. At this time his boss does not need a secretary, because he has an assistant. But maybe later, he needs. Hopefully, if the big boss needs a secretary, you have graduated.”

“Aamiin, hopefully, Mang. It's also Angel trying to quickly pass.”

“Aamiin.” Ella and grandma are in the ass.

Then, Hendra stroked his daughter's head.

“Daddy son, great.”

Angel smiling. He wanted to make his father proud.

“But, if Angel works with your friend, she should stay in Jakarta?” Ask Hendra who just realized the location of the company called Fajar earlier.

“Iya anyway, A. Far yes?”

Hendra nodded.

“Do not worry, A. In three months Aa dawn is moved to Jakarta and Ella is also in acc will be moved there. So if Angel is accepted in the company, Angel can stay with us. A is it A?” Ella's eyes were on her husband.

“Iya, right.”

Hendra's speechless. He steals the food slowly.

“It's time, you took off Angel, Ndra. He's grown up, let him flap his own wings.” Enin.

Angel looked at the sad face of his father. He did not dare to take this big decision himself, let his father decide. Even if he doesn't work in the place that Dawn says he does, he doesn't matter, the important thing is that his father is happy.

Angel slowly nodded her head. He also wants to try to be independent. A long-held desire.

“But if you don't like it, it's okay. Angel working near here only later.”

Hendra took a rough breath. Really, it's very heavy. She was never far from her daughter.

“Ya already, finish your college first. Later the time comes, I will make a decision.”

Angel smiled and nodded.

****

Time goes on, a year goes by. Now Angel is rejoicing, becoming a participant at the graduation of Bachelor of administrative science this year.

Hendra was accompanied by his mother sitting in the audience. He was proud to see his daughter sitting among the participants who passed it.

The spacious building was crowded by the echo of the MC voice that asked the students who graduated there to go forward one by one. Angel's name was also called. Angel wearing kebaya, wrapped in black graduation clothes and toga attached to his head was standing, too, then walked up to some people as the campus official for the symbolic submission of diplomas and shifted the toga rope in his head.

After all the names of jam participants are called one by one, then the MC again mentions the name of Angel as participants who graduated with cumlaude results.

the highest “IPK of the year is Angel Agnita Puteri of the administration science program.”

“Aa.” Angel closed her mouth with both hands, she was surprised and not expecting at all.

“Congratulations, Angel.”

“Congratulations, yes.”

“I've predicted, Ngel. Definitely you who can get the highest GPA.”

Say friends who sit close to him there. Angel also stood up while greeting the friends who congratulated him. Then, he asked the MC to stand in the pulpit and give a few words as an outstanding student.

Hendra was proud of his daughter. Angel waved her hand, as she passed the seat that her grandmother and father were sitting on.

Angel stands on the pulpit and puts her mouth close to the mic.

“Ekhem.. Alhamdulillah, Hmm.. I was groggy for not expecting to stand here.” Said Angel with slightly trembling legs.

Then, he continued his words, “before I thanked Allah subhanahu wata’ala for all his blessings and gifts. Thank you to my beloved father, who has given all his affection, taking pains to support his son to become what he is today. Thank you for being the best dad in the world. Thank you Enin, dear grandmother Angel, for her support all this time.thank you to the lecturers and everyone who made me able to stand here.thank you.” Angel shed her tears, as did Hendra who was far away there.

Everyone applauded, after hearing Angel's words. The room suddenly echoed with a boisterous sound of claps and whistles that were all aimed at Angel.

Angel's father also let out tears profusely, accompanied by the embrace of the mother beside him. He felt he had managed to educate his daughter well, according to his promise to the late wife before the wife breathed her last at that time.
