Today the announcement of graduation at the school where Denia studied has been announced, Denia graduated as the best student with the highest score in her school who automatically got a scholarship to continue her education in the capital, Indonesia,of course the news makes Denia very happy, continuing education with a major that is very desirable in medicine, Denia aspires to become a pediatrician.
Denia returned home full of happiness, she could not wait to announce this happy news to her parents, Denis father was only a poor farmer, he was not happy,he did not have his own rice field or garden but only worked on the rice fields owned by the manager in his village, while his mother was just an ordinary housewife,Delia has 2 younger siblings who are still in the 2nd and 6th grade, Delia the first child who makes her mai does not want to have to help her family's economy, he said,the salary as a rice field worker was not enough to meet the daily needs of her family, who were forced to make Denia work as a washing worker in her village after returning from school.
"mother." cried Denis after arriving at his doorstep, a very simple house just roofed with leaves of grass and bamboo walls, the house of his grandmother, his grandmother's relics,only this house and land were the only treasures his parents had.
"why are you screaming outside baby, mom's in the kitchen" shouted her mom from the kitchen who was busy cooking.
Delia came into the house with a very happy face, in the embrace of the mother who had given birth to her"bu..Delia graduated with very satisfying grades" she said with the same smile and happiness."And other happy news Delia got a scholarship to continue Delia's education in the capital".
Hearing the news Delia's mother was happy as well as sad, but seeing the happiness of the daughter Delia's mother covered up immediately covered her anxiety,"mom was very happy listening dear, keep what your next plan is?"ask Delia's mother
Delia took off her embrace, her originally happy face suddenly turned moody, seeing the change in her daughter Delia's mother frowned, "why, is there something that makes you anxious?" ask Delia's mother.
"yes, mom..."Delia sighed "Delia did get a scholarship to finish but the cost of living and everyday if Delia later went to college was on her own, the scholarship only applies to the cost of education Delia only bu".
delia's mother held onto her daughter's shoulder, "we'll talk this over to your father after coming home from the paddy fields later, this is a very good chance, son, to change your fate, not like your poor parents.." Delia's mother's tears were unstoppable.
The evening after dinner the Delia family gathered in the living room, discussing the issue of the continuation of Delia's education.
"Depart, son, father let you know." said his father opened the conversation."the cost of father's will ask the boss to help lend him the money."
Delia and her mother looked at each other with a sense of happiness and anxiety in the hearts of both, "but that kind of money definitely needs a guarantee sir" said Delia's mother worried
"Calm mom, it's your business".Actually, Delia's father was also worried about it, he was not sure the jury would provide an unsecured loan especially with 10 million money he wanted to borrow, but saw his daughter, he said,he will try however Delia must achieve her dream only this is their chance to change fate.
A few days later after getting the money from her lawyer, Delia is going to the capital today, and her heart continues to wonder what kind of guarantee her father gave her,but until the day of his departure the father remained on the answer there was no guarantee, the defense just wanted to help them, but Delia was still hesitant and felt that there was something hidden the father to her,but all these doubts can only be saved.
...First day in the capital...
The days passed so quickly, it did not feel Delia had a month of college in the capital, in addition to college Delia also worked in the minimarket to finance her life in the capital , Deluan did not want to add to the burden of his parents in the village by continuing to ask for money, while there were still his younger siblings who were also still in school,Delia works as a shopkeeper in a fairly large minimarket in the city where she lives today, and is grateful to still be able to get a part-time job that is very difficult for students like her , but luckily he was met by a middle-aged woman who he helped while looking for a job,the middle-aged woman offered a job at the minimarket the child.Delia had worked in the minimarket for a week but never once she met the owner of the minimarket where she worked, it can be said Delia did not know her own boss.
"hi..ngemun aja.." the voice arrived - suddenly surprised Delia.
"iihh.kamu ngagetin aja.", said Delia.
"because from earlier I noticed that you just kept quiet, what the hell was going on." asked Zaskia, Delia's coworker...,
Zaskia was the first to be close to Delia in the minimarket where she worked, Zaskia a young widow of one child, her husband died while she was pregnant, and after her husband died she struggled alone to support herself and her son, Zaskia,Zaskia is 2 years older than Delia.sama from the village and migrates to the city but with a different purpose, the,if Delia goes to the city to continue her education then it is different from Zaskia who is forced to go to the city to find a better life for her and the child.
"Nothing, just thinking about my family in the village".
" don't think too much about it, make sure they're okay, all you have to think about is yourself, your future.."
"yes.you're right..."
"ok.i want to continue my work first, do not daydream later kesambet lo.." said Zaskia as she passed away leaving Delia.

"big sister is funny." said the boy with a small laugh, Delia who heard the voice in front of him was shocked and sucked, she looked at the boy carefully, looking at him,his eyes glanced right and left looking for the whereabouts of this child's family but no one he saw was looking for this child.
"Beautiful sister, who is accompanying you", greeted Delia rather surprised
