Long Journey of Tough Women
02. Between Comfort and the Future
Sometimes we are too comfortable in the zone where we exist so do not think even reluctant to get out of it. Do not be complacent, because comfort that does not bring change is the same as sowing corn and hoping to harvest rice. Eda Sally

It didn't feel like time was quickly passing and Yuana was about to finish her education in Elementary School. Only a week later Yuana will take the National Examination.
Yuana, who is basically smart and often ranked first since grade 1 Elementary, makes her more confident that she will finish her school with a satisfactory grade. He studied hard and made good use of his time.
While being engrossed in learning, suddenly the door of his room was knocked.
Tok to tok.
"Yu, is it time for dinner, son? Comeing! My brother's father is waiting for you." Mother said reminding.
Yuana immediately stopped her studies and left the room following her mother to the table.
After she finished eating, Yuana would immediately get up to go back to the room to continue studying, but was soon detained by her father.
"Son, I'd like to talk to you for a second. Uncle Jack called Dad this afternoon. Uncle asked about your school and when the exam ended."
Yuana just silently listened to her father talk. But then he asked out of curiosity.
"Well, why did Uncle Jack ask about Yuana's school?"
"So this is Yu? Uncle asked father that if you don't mind, you go with uncle to Kupang and continue school there. At home, there are only Aunt Grace and Nita. Uncle's often on duty out of town, so they're lonely. After all Nita is your age and needs a friend. I talked to mom. Now I want to hear your decision and his opinion, brother Joshua."
Yuana was just speechless hearing everything her father said. Of course he was surprised. In his life he never thought to be far from Father, mother, and brother Joshua who always loved and cared for him.
Everyone listened to Joshua's words. Mother certainly did not want to. But he realized, that if Yuana goes with Uncle Jack, of course Yuana's school fees will be handled by Uncle Jack. Because Uncle Jack also holds an important position in his office, even has several businesses in the property sector.
Yuana could not hold back her tears. He looked so sad and just silent. He knows it's heavy. But he must also do this to ease the burden of his parents, and also wants his ideals to be a successful person achieved.
after a while, Yuana wiped her tears and said:
"Well, Yuana agreed. Yuana's going with Jack's uncle if that's the best."
Although only 12 years old, Yuana already has a mature mind because from childhood he never had time to play around. And now he realized, his parents would not be able to send him to college.
"Son. Forgive the father and mother who could not provide a proper education. I know you're smart. Mom doesn't want you to leave either. But I do realize that your future is more important than anything. You can come see Joshua's father, mother and brother on holiday."
Yuana was already unable to hold her heart. He ran to the room and cried. He wants to reject all of this. But he realized that this was the only way he could achieve his dreams. He could not bear his mother had to sell all day in the market. He will also miss Joshua who always loved and spoiled him.
Yuana fell asleep because most of them were crying.
