Sekar ayu or often called ayu. A young woman who has just finished her education in high school. Choosing to pit his fate in the big city.
Only armed with money earned ayu from his scholarship and the prize of the champion following the race during the school ayu set aside his money for savings. Ayu also works to help her neighbors to sell food at school. There is no shame or prestige.
Both parents are not people who cannot afford, even more than able to finance or to give anything their children want. It's just that both parents are more fond of Yuda, Mba Ratna, and her youngest brother Anton. Ayu as in a threshing child.
Both parents have a lot of land, rice fields, even houses that can be rented. Ayu tries to fulfill her own life needs. Even if ayu wants to buy something ayu must find it yourself. I once asked to buy a bag with both parents. Because the bag that ayu has is torn. Not the bag he got but the Wring from the mother-aminah.
Different when the three brothers asked to buy shoes or bags. Both parents will buy it right away. What child's heart doesn't hurt if both parents are loving.
It was that made ayu determined to leave his home, and chose to complain his fate in Jakarta.
Ayu really wants to continue her education, but both parents ayu forbid it on the grounds "make what high school if later only at home so the wife takes care of the house and children later. From your college mdingan you father marry with jurat Gunawan." Said the father-rohman.
Of course ayu did not agree to it. Mas Yuda and Mba Ratna can continue their education in college. While he is not.
After finishing school and getting his diploma ayu directly looking for a job in Jakarta through online through his old school hp. Alhamdulillah his ayu get a job as a waiter in one of the cafes in Jakarta.
At dinner with her mother and sister, Mayu expressed her intention to work in Jakarta.
"Mom, sir mayu get a job in Jakarta. Ayu please permit. Ayu hope father and mother allow ayu to work there." said ayu to both parents while playing a spoon.
"You're serious, yu!! Why you should go to Jakarta to work. Until you accept Gunawan's proposal!" Said Mr. Rohman.
"But ayu wants to work sir. Juragan Gunawan already has four wives. Then ayu should be his fifth wife. Ayu does not want to sir."revealed ayu when he heard his father's words.
"Then you go to Jakarta to work? What do you want to be? Midfielder, beggar, or want to be a whore?"snapped by Rohman.
"I have been accepted to work in Jakarta, sir. If the father and mother allow tomorrow ayu to leave for Jakarta."ayu replied calmly.
"You.." said Mr. Rohman who was restrained because his wife stopped him.
"Already sir, just let ayu to Jakarta. Later if he is difficult will definitely go home alone. If I come home we just mate with the photographer Gunawan". The words of Aminah's mother cut off the talk of Mr. Rohman.
"Aaaaarrgh. And yu yu, you will not give a penny for you as long as you are in Jakarta."
"Yes sir, ayu it's okay that important mom and dad allow ayu work in Jakarta." Answer ayu
"Yes there, you get ready for your needs while in Jakarta" said Aminah's mother.
"Good Mom. Thank you for your permission" replied ayu while standing up.
Ayu walked towards her room to prepare the items she would bring to Jakarta. There are not many things that I carry. Just a shirt and some documents of his diploma. Which ayu put into a bag Sling bag size.
After ayu tidying up the items that will be brought later. Ayu rested herself on the bed. Due to drowsiness, ayu also fell asleep soundly.

"Let's go a little bad, ma'am. Because tomorrow Iu just got to work." Answer ayu honestly
"Have you got a place to live there?" Ask Bu Aminah.
"Already Mom. A place to stay." Sayu
"Yes, take good care of yourself. Don't embarrass us." Said Mrs Aminah.
"Yes Mom. God willing, remember mother's words."
Ayu served the food Aminah's mother had made to their table. Do not forget also the dining equipment ayu put in front of each chair. Ayu prepared a glass to drink them. Father who likes black coffee, mother who drinks tea, and his sister Anton a glass of milk.
Father, and Anton enter the dining room, then sit in their respective chairs. Mother brought food for her father and son. Ayu takes it for herself. They eat in silence, because the father is among those who do not like to eat while talking. And we are used to the rules that you have set.
After eating ayu take care of all the dishes and purify them. Put the dishes - dishes that he had washed on the dish rack near the sink. After all sorted ayu, ayu headed to her room to get ready to take a shower. After taking a shower, start preparing yourself and all his needs.
Ayu stepped her feet towards the living room while carrying the goods she carried. Mom and Dad were sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Mom, sir ayu say yes first". Saying ayu while greeting both parents.
"Hmmm... Careful." Answer father Rohman
"You, depart well what's yu?" Ask Aminah's mother
"Ju took the bus, Mom. From here ayu ride ojek. Ayu had a message ojek online" said ayu.
"Yes be careful." Answer Aminah's mother

" Greetings wa'alaikum." Answer Aminah's mother
Ayu walked towards the ojek that had been waiting for her. "Destination according to application huh sis?"tany Abang.

Motor that carries ayu road to the terminal. Because riding an ayu motorcycle taxi is not afraid of getting stuck. The motor can slip there slippage here. Arriving at the terminal ayu to the ticket counter to buy a bus ticket. After paying and getting a ticket ayu walk to the bus that will take him to Jakarta.
"Bismillah" inner ayu
I chose to sit by the window. Shortly after the bus ride began to walk towards the city of Jakarta.
