One August 2008, one,
at 00:01, half the earth was in the darkness of the night, silent, but in the
the silent ones, the angels of the Lord are ready to accompany his servant who is still awake
to draw near to his Lord. The servant who prayed for
the afterlife and a better world. Faithful servant waiting for answer
in the prayers he has recited.
“Kringg..”.
“Kringg.”.
“Kringg..” Phone in the middle room rings.
Dad, Mom and I went out into the living room. On the phone screen is a plus sign, it's a call
from abroad, my brother from Malaysia. We have asked for help from my brother who is currently wandering in Malaysia to see my SNMPTN announcement early. The internet is not in my village. Internet and smartphone networks, moreover, something that is still rare in 2008.
“Mak...” The voice across there sounds obvious, as this is one of the advantages of the operator
mobile with this home phone model. Our hearts are beating fast. Announcement
SNMPTN first time online, sister has promised to see it on the internet from Malaysia.
“Welcome you graduate in Doctor Education
Syiah University Kuala”
I can't believe it, the three of us looked at me. My eyes are glazed. God I bow down. My prayers are granted
by the Most Merciful up there. Dad stroked my back with love
honey, it's glassy. The hope for a better tomorrow for our lives is God-given. I kissed Mom's feet, because under the soles of Mom's feet hidden one
images of heaven, Nabiku's message. Heaven is under Mom's feet. Thank you for your mother. May I get the conveniences of life later, in every journey of life.
“Mak ….Father....”

The first day in August is a happy day for some of those who pass SNMPTN.
As well as a disappointing day for those who did not pass SNMPTN, a delayed failure. Through simple media, our SMS shared information about our graduation. We share our graduation information at
throughout Indonesia. Looking for friends, new friends for the next fight.
The news that I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the State University spread so quickly, throughout our village, Kampung Gunung Crying. This morning, when I saw the sun from the window behind the house. I saw that the tears that poured out of that mountain cliff this morning were tears of happiness. Tears of happiness
because haru. The mountain was happy. Mountain
crying for the first time without crying. He was happy after one of his blood spilled graduated medical school, prospective doctors, prospective successful people
which will help others a lot. Which will scent the name of this village, Kampung Gunung Crying.
“ Liel congratulations yes.“ Adi shook my hand.
”Do not grieve our struggle is still long. Friends.” I avenge his post. Adi did not graduate
SNMPTN in both options. I remember the sacrifice of cost and effort of the moment
we fought together first.
“Stay spirit. Determine next steps.” My Deuteronomy. Adi's eyes are glaring. I hugged her.
“I'll go to college Liel. I'm still going to college. I don't want to disappoint my parents” Adi said.
“Ya My Friend.” I was happy when Adi started to get excited. It is a family of farmers. But her mother was very

Adi's mother.
“I will take the entrance exam of the local path of the state university.” Adi said.
