Loving Brother Lift
Chapter 22

"Tomorrow I will ask, brother. The important thing is now that I focus on the exam first, so I can get good grades so I can choose any school I want." Nirmala takes the middle ground on her problems.

"OK then. You rest first, gih! Tomorrow has to be a test, so it takes a lot of energy. Don't get sick! It could mess up everything." Dimas smiled.

"OK on, brother." Nirmala thought there was a point to Dimas' words, so she chose to follow Dimas's words.

"Met bobo, yes!" Say Dimas before closing the video call.

"Together, Brother!" Nirmala smiled, she was still embarrassed to say such a sweet thing as Dimas just said.

Nirmala closed her video call, she smiled to herself remembering what Dimas had said earlier. He's gonna have a good dream tonight.

The next day, Nirmala underwent a Junior High graduation exam. He's working on the problem, according to what he's learned so far. Luckily, the problem that hit him yesterday, did not make him lose focus. He was even more eager to get high grades.

Every night, Nirmala always messaged with Dimas. Talked about many things, though more about what Nirmala had experienced that day. Until finally Nirmala finished undergoing all the tests held at her school. He re-thought his plans for a school out of town. He was still confused as to how to ask his parents for permission.

"Sister, where do I go to school, huh? There's a view, right? It's not far from my job." Nirmala asked Dimas, as they made a video call one night.

"Let's try to find the info. What school do you want? A SMA? A SMK? MA?" Dimas provides a wide range of top-level school options.

"That could convince Father Mother, let me give my permission to go to school there, what school? I'm so confused, brother. If only looking for a favorite, actually here there is also a favorite school. Why do we have to go all the way out of town? If Mom's dad says that, how's dong? I give you what excuse? Where am I going? More cost, will it finally? Duh, I'm so confused, brother!"

"Or mending you enter the boarding school." Dimas proposed an unexpected suggestion.

"Huh? The lodge?" Nirmala was shocked to hear Dimas's suggestion.

"Yes, mumps. So there are all the residences and schools. You can also study religion. I'm sure, Father and Mother would agree, if you want to go to the hotel. Tell me if you want to learn independently. If the cottage near the house, he was afraid to go home often without permission. If you go to a place far away you will want to run away also bother. Especially if you don't have money. Aye, right?" Dimas explained what was on his mind.

"Yes, too, but will I be accepted to the cottage? While my appearance is still rich. I can't even pay." Nirmala rubbed her face rough. He thinks Dimas's proposal is pretty good, but he also reflects on his abilities.

"If you agree, tomorrow I will find a cottage that will teach from scratch. That doesn't need special abilities innate from home."

"Judah if so, no papa, brother. Try to find it first. So tomorrow if I ask permission, I already have a picture, want to go where, what consideration." Nirmala finally agreed with Dimas' advice. Whatever he does, as long as he can get closer to Dimas.

Dimas sent some recommendation of a place of lodging to Nirmala. Not everything is close to the new Dimas office, but it is still within reach, not taking much time.

Dimas also gave a photo of a registration brochure to Nirmala, if indeed he was interested in registering at one of the lodges he proposed. It was Nirmala's turn to ask permission from her parents.

"Mom, if I go down, what?" Nirmala asked carefully. He wanted to know how his mother responded.

"Yes, Mom. I want to go to school in the cottage. Mumpung is still a school, so it's still easy to change, easy to learn religious science as well." Nirmala gave her reason just as far.

"If that's your goal, it doesn't matter. Good too, let you be a better person. Same mother I can't teach you religious knowledge, so yes if you want to go, on your own terms, I'll support you completely."

"Really, Mom? So, Nirmala can go to school while studying at the cottage?" Nirmala girang is not a kepalang.

"Yes, I can."

"Same father I'm not ashamed, right? His son's at school in the cottage? Not your favorite school?" Nirmala reassured her mother that she did not want her parents to regret her later.

"Ngapain shy? School in the cottage is good too?" Sukma reassured his daughter.

"Yes, too, Mom."

"Yaudah, tomorrow let me find a cottage that you might like. Which is near here, so if you want to visit, do not be too bothered. Don't have to wait for Daddy's cello either."

"Eh, no need, ma'am. I've got a view, which cottage I want to list." Nirmala refused her mother's offer.

"Where?"

"Just a second!" Nirmala turned on her phone, then showed a photo of a brochure sent by Dimas yesterday.

"Well? Far away, La?" Sukma was shocked, his daughter chose a place to go outside the city. It should be about a five-hour drive from their home.

"Yes, no papa, ma'am. He said, if you want to go far away. If you do not feel at home, you have to be at home. You can't go home alone. Trus if there is a problem is also not a little vague, especially if you do not have money. So I can't go away." Nirmala gave the reason, why choose a hyacinth in a distant place.

"But, if Mom and Dad can't always visit how? You know it yourself, right? Your dad doesn't have to have free time?" Sukma still objected, although the reason Nirmala gave made sense.

"It's no problem, Mom. The important thing is to send pocket money, hehe." Nirmala.

"Jaudah if that's it. Tomorrow I ask Dimas for help, let him visit the cottage, if you need anything. So I'm the same Dad went there only if you get an invitation from the cottage."

Nirmala smiled sumringah. Without him asking, it turns out his mother had mentioned Dimas' name first. Even giving confidence to Dimas, to be a representative, visiting Nirmala every time there is a schedule of visits.

"Yaudah, no papa, ma'am. Lala is self-taught, right. Let's not stick with Mom." Nirmala smiled, teasing her mother.

"The important thing is that you prepare yourself, living in a cottage is much different from home. You have to follow any rules in it. Including not using HP. It seems like every cottage has a policy, its students should not bring communication tools." Sukma reminded him, maybe Nirmala did not know that. Sure enough, Nirmala just kept quiet without a word.

"Huh? Can't bring HP? Trus, how can I contact Dimas?" Nirmala.
