Degree And Guarantee
The departure of Andini

"Smooth... " The sobbing of a middle-aged woman filled the middle room of a house located on the edge of a mountain village so remote away from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

"Prophe Mih.. Later Pipih will find Andiri and bring him back home." His mouth was firm while tightly hugging his wife.

Deep in his heart held a sense of anger, disappointment and sadness raging into one. "Where are you Early.. " His murmured inwardly as he continued to hug his wife who was still crying thinking of Andini who had been three days away from home.

"Mimih doesn't want to know. You should see that guy this afternoon after school! So don't be late for home."

"Then I said I don't want to.. Dini wants to continue school to SMEA. Moreover, now Dini is still third grade Junior High, has not thought to.. " Andini whined at her mother while looking at her mother unable to continue her words.

Scroll of tears began to be seen in the corner of the eyes of the long-haired young girl wearing a red bando in the blue white uniform she was wearing. While wearing shoes, Andini waited for his mother's answer who still continued to be silent.

But Mrs Salamah ignored her daughter. Ms. Salamah focused on the frying pan that was in front of her. Every morning Ms. Salamah must have cooked to provide food for her husband's plantation workers.

Andini got up from the dining chair that was not far from Bu Salamah who coolly put firewood into the furnace.

"From school first Mih." While taking his mother's hand. After kissing the back of Bu Salamah's hand, Andini left for school on foot for about 3 kilos to get to the city transport terminal.

Every day Andini went to school after dawn considering the distance traveled by foot so far. Not to mention from the terminal to the school must take public transportation for 15 minutes. And this Andini did from the first grade of First High School.

Along the way Andini only bowed his face occasionally wiping his tears with the back of his hand. Tears that kept flowing soaked her yellow cheeks that witnessed Andini's sadness in the past week that continues to be persuaded by her mother to get married after graduating from First High School.

Andini the third daughter of husband and wife Pak Husein and Bu Salamah.

They include prominent families in their village.

Mr. Husein is known to be firmly authoritative so hesitated by the surrounding population as the chairman of the kuwu. While Bu Salamah as a housewife who is known to be friendly and kind, so many people like it.

Andini is the third child in the family of Pak Husein and even the first woman who managed to continue the school to the level of First High School.

Andini's ambition is so passionate about continuing school to High School of Economics. After that Andini dreamed of attending college in Ariyanti vocational.

Andini does not pay attention to all their peers already married even some who already have children.

"They have to continue school as much as possible." He muttered in Andini's heart as he continued walking without even raising his head. Just looking down while remembering her parents' conversation.

"White, still remember our cousin sister who was in town" said Mrs Salamah that afternoon while enjoying a cup of warm tea.

"Yes. Why are you suddenly talking about her Mih?" replied Mr. Hussein while eating a warm fried banana made by his wife.

"How about we just take the man he offered to our daughter Andini?"

"But Mih.. Andini is still in school. Haven't graduated Mih." Sahut Pak Husein while sipping warm tea that is already in front of him.

"Mimih knows Pih. At least we take it first. We asked him to wait for Andini to graduate. Isn't it only six months left our son graduated from school Pih. After all, all of Andini's friends in our village have all married Pih."

With enthusiasm Bu Salamah conveyed to her husband about her desire for her third daughter to get married soon.

"Don't let the people in our village talk about Andini who is not married until now. Mimih does not want our daughter to be called an old virgin." continued Salamah without waiting for a word out of her husband's mouth.

Mr. Husein could only look at his wife sitting right in front of him. Breath that comes out of Mr. Hussein's mouth.

"Dina.."

"Yes..!" Andini got up from her seat looking at the person who hit her shoulder suddenly, instantly disperse her daydream.

"Remain sure you don't want to go home yet? You haven't been home for three days. Your parents must be confused now that they have to look for you where."

Andini was confused.

"Let me here last night again Rim. I'm scared to go home, too. Pissing the same Mimih must have scolded me." Sahut Andini's.

His eyes began to glaze over. Unbearably her tears dripped.

Rima can only hug her best friend who has been known since they entered the same school.

"Rome.. You know I'd like to go to SMEA. Mimih the same Pipih even told me to marry a man of their choice." Andini continued to hold her tears in the arms of her best friend.

"I know Din must be heavy. I was also confused that I could help. I wish we could have another school. But I'm going to High School."

Andini grew sobbing to hear her best friend so confident will continue her school.

"Why are my parents not like Rima's parents, God." Andini's heart was full of sorrow.

"Rim, I envy your parents who want to understand and let you continue to school. I imagine marriage is like throwing up." Shuddering Andini rubbed his own shoulders.

"Hihi yes." replied Rima with a small laugh.

"Keep having children later can't say anything about Din." Continue Rima as if impressed heated up.

"Udah ah Rim's. Don't worry about it, I'm more afraid to know." said Andini while sitting in a chair.

Rima was sitting next to her best friend.

For a long time they were both excited by their own daydreams.

"Well..." Andini stood facing her best friend. "I have Rim's idea."

"Kamuuuu's... Just ngagetin." Half widened his eyes Rima stood looking at Andini.

Meanwhile at his parents' house Andini looks as if there is no life there.

"Mom.. Where else should we look for Andini. We've gone to all our relatives but no one knows where Andini is." Said Mrs Salamah who was in her parents' house.

"Andini must have gone home to Sal, I'm sure. But one message I don't get mad at Andini when she gets home."

Reply Ibu Imas full of affirmation. Salamah just nodded while wiping the clear circles that wet the corner of her eyes.

"There is nothing wrong as a parent to obey what the child wants. Moreover, Andini just wants to continue school." Connect Imas Mother while offering a cup of warm tea do not forget also with a snack cake as a complement.

"But Buu..."

"Already Salamah we follow the will of Andini. I'm sure Andini can definitely finish school. It is also not good to force her to get married if Andini refuses to leave the house for days. Wouldn't it be the pride of our family if Andini managed to continue the school to higher. Forget about marrying Andini. We are a pretty good family after all. Able to send Andini. Let Andini catch up with Surya. It's not good that Andini stepped over her older brother"

At length Ibu Imas advised his son.

Salamah remained silent, not answering a single word to her mother.

"There's a truth to what Mom said, too. Why don't I think Surya." In Bu Salamah's heart, she was rumbling while considering her mother's words.
