SAVIRA: The Dream Pursuer
SATU

It's just an ordinary story, not a love story, not a story of most teenagers in general. However, only the stories of the life of an ordinary girl struggle amid the economic downturn of the family, in a twisted debt circle, and in a society that upholds the social caste.

This is the story of a girl who pursues a dream that is considered too high, and will not be able to reach her. However, he will never give up on his dreams.

SAVIRA vows to keep fighting for her dreams for the happiness of her family.

...****...

This morning, the sun was shining brightly as if giving a new spirit to those who never tired to fight. The same thing with Savira who is ready to take his final level education at a school that is not too far from where he lives.

To set foot on the path to where he learned, to walk confidently leaving the old hut that witnessed his survival.

Savira studied in a school that is arguably quite elite based on scholarships that he got since long ago, although not infrequently he was often insulted because of economic limitations, but Savira never complained, he said, and always promise not to complain.

School starts from 7am, until 2pm. After school usually Savira will continue to work part time at the cafe in front of his school until 8 pm, his salary is not big, but he is not, but at least enough to buy food and repay a little debt both parents, as well as daily snacks his two little brothers.

Savira does work to pay debts and home needs, but that does not mean that Savira's parents are only on foot, they also work. Savira's father worked as a rickshawman, while his mother was only a laundry worker in large houses not far from where they lived.

"The virus!! " the call broke his daydream.

"Why Sar? " ask Savira.

Sarah Ayuna, the only person who wants to be friends with her. Relax, Sarah sincerely friends with Savira, never look at the caste that stretches between them, not infrequently Sarah often gives toys for Savira's two sisters.

"This, yesterday I just came home from semarang, souvenirs for lo same family lo, hopefully like ya! " he cheerfully handed over two paper bags to Savira.

"Well, thanks Sar, I'm not good with you, "

"Sans only time Vir, you are rich as anyone. "tuturnua while shaking his hands.

Savira only smiled in response. After a silence, no more conversation, both of them were busy looking at the sky above. Now it is a break, and the habit of the two of them always in the park to enjoy the cool breeze under the shady tree.

"Vir, is having a brother delicious? " ask Sarah gets full attention and Savira.

"His son, why? "

"Gue also wants to have a brother Vir, but I'm busy continuing to work together, so the house is really sepiii, "

Savira smiled for a moment, clearly understanding the condition of the friend, Sarah was only a child born in the midst of her sparkling treasures, but minimal togetherness of the family. "If you want, you can play at my house. Ayu and Dino must be cool if you visit. "

"Ga neuropoxin? " ask again.

"No. Mother and Father will also be happy if you want to come, "

"Okay!! This week I went to your house, "the spirit. Savira only replied with a light nod.

Kriinnngg~ kriinnng~

The entrance bell resonated throughout the entire school, the next lesson sign began, disperse all the students who were still gathered in various places to enter the classroom, sarah and Savira walk hand in hand to class.

When entering the classroom, all eyes looked at them, just a glance, because it was common to see the closeness of Sarah and Savira. The rich and the poor, the beautiful and the geeky, that's what they call it. Savira is not geeky and she is also beautiful, it is according to Sarah, it's just that the style of dress that is not fashionable in accordance with financial support.

"Vir, you still work at that cafe? " ask Sarah as they sit on their bench.

"Still, "Savira replied as she opened the book for this hour's study.

"Lo ain't tired, Vir? "

"Huh, if asked tired, yes definitely tired. But what else, it's one way that the debt of the Father with Mother paid off. You know the income of the same father Mother will not be enough." explained Savira sober.

"And I've told you, debt problems can I help pay off. "

"Ga needs Sar. At the same time, I also have to change your money, "

"You need to change, too, papa. "

"Ga papa Sar, I still can, anyways I just keep the cashier, no tired times really, "

"Geez! You are so stubborn! "

"Hahaha, don't sulk ah, I just don't want to be mistaken for your benefit, "

"Who thought that too. I want to help you know, "

"Support me enough Sar. That's enough, "

"Yes, yeah. " Sarah relented, indeed, if she argued with Savira it would never win. After that there was no more conversation between the two because the teacher who taught had come.

Kriiinngg~ cryinnngg~

The bell rang, a sign that all activities were over today. After the teacher said hello and left the class, all the students flocked to go home with different goals, some were hungry to imagine the lunch served at the dinner table, there are also those who immediately play with friends, some are working, one of them is Savira.

"Sar, I'm first yeah, it's not good if I'm late. Assalamu'alaikum " Savira said, waving to Sarah.

*CAFE*

"Ouh, Hi Savira!" greet one of the waiters who is serving customers, call it Wawan.

"Hi brother, sorry Vira's late, hehe"

"Ga is late. Yaudah you keep going back, replace Sinta at the cashier! " pinta Wawan's.

Savira replied with a nod accompanied by a thumbs up, after which it went straight to the back, precisely the dressing room of the workers at the cafe, to change his school dress with a uniform that has been given when he first started working.

"Sinta, "greet Savira when she is done with her clothes and go to the cashier to change shifts.

"Oh, Savira. Have you eaten? Eat first or if you have not, "sinta said while serving customers who want to pay, there are also those who want to order.

"Not yet, hehe" he replied accompanied by an adorable grin according to Sinta.

Ouh yes, of all the workers in this cafe, just Savira himself who is still a final grade school, others are in college, some are not. From that, everyone treated Savira with affection, they also knew what the girl's life was like, although it was not detailed, at least if anyone asked, who was Savira? Or how's Savira? They already know the answer.

"Eat first there, later sick when late eating, "

"Emm, why don't you say Savira eats first? But this is Savira's ration, brother ... "

"Ga papa Iangg. "anxious Sinta while pinching the smooth cheeks of Savira who is not too thin, but also ga gembil.

"Jaudah, Savira ate first yes, ga lama, promise, "he said by showing the little finger the sign he promised. Sinta just nodded with her pretty smile.

Before long, after 20 minutes, Savira was already at the cashier, replacing Sinta who had to go to campus 5 minutes ago.

Time goes on, it does not feel the clock has shown 8 o'clock, time for Savira and all workers clean the cafe before it closes.

Half 9 over 45 minutes, Savira reached home, when she was greeted with a warm smile from the mother who was a healer for her fatigue.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mother. "he said, saying in reverence to the angel in his life.

"Waalaikumsalam son, how is it today? Must be tired, baby, "said the mother while stroking the baby's head.

"No, Mom. The fatigue was gone when I saw Mom, hehehe"

Nila just smiled in response to the words of her eldest daughter, had too often heard the princess say it, only to comfort her heart that always felt guilty for her three children.

Nila and Ridwan, parents of Savira, Ayu, and Dino. Initially the life of Ridwan and Nila is very prosperous, their lives are always fulfilled, Ridwan who works as an employee at a company with a large salary, making his family life happy. But unfortunately, when Savira turned 10 years old, there was a massive phk in the country, making many workers who became unemployed, one of them Ridwan.

There their lives become difficult, especially the wife who is pregnant with their third child, making the cost of life increase. Therefore, both Ridwan and Nila owe a lot, just for the sake of a mouthful of rice for the three of their hearts.

"Mother, Vira has brought food for Mother, Father, and sisters" he said, showing a plastic bag containing food from the cafe. "This is also a gift from Sarah. " So he handed me the two paper bags that Sarah gave him earlier.

"God, very good with Sarah. Don't forget to say thank you all for sending greetings from Mom to Sarah's son, baby. "

"He'em, "Note Savira.

"Yes, you clean tea there, and we eat together, "

...****...

After dinner that can be said late last night, Savira returned to the room, the room is not spacious, nor is it made of concrete like his house, only the house is very simple, but the house is very simple, made of old-looking plywood.

Only, now there are lights that illuminate, because of his salary also Savira can pay for home electricity. If in the past, the beginning of the move, this house is only in the light of the era, so if you want to learn even, you have to sit close to the lantern, so that it looks clear.

Currently Savira is making his schoolwork, not difficult, because Savira himself is a student who achieves in school. After 15 minutes, the task was completed. He kept his to-do book, and also directly prepared the books for tomorrow's lesson.

Feeling not sleepy, Savira also chose to open his laptop, just to find scholarship info for the majors he wanted. This laptop is not he bought, but a birthday gift from Sarah last year, it has been explained, no, Sarah is indeed a stingy child, especially for the friend who he already considers the family.

"Emc ... Seoul National University, "he said, read the name of the univ who is opening a scholarship for outstanding students.

"But this is in Korea, far away if you have to go there. Not to mention the cost of leaving, hemm... "

Move his finger tapping his chin thinking about how much the overall cost would be.

"20 million is at least the money that must be there, even though the shelter is provided, but I still need a grip while there, "he murmured. "Even if I collect the monthly stipend from the current scholarship, my combined salary won't be enough, "

He took a deep breath, his net staring at the calendar, "5 months away from the graduation exam, if you really want to take this scholarship, at least before the graduation exam the money must be there right? "

Close your eyes for a moment to relax your brain, after which one decision you can make.

"Huh, well it seems like I have to work harder and save more for now. I will prove to the world, however, that I can be one of the great doctors. If I have success later, Father, Mother, Ayu, and Dino I will invite to Korea to live with me. "he said with a smile when he imagined it would happen.

"Spirit Savira!! "
