The Angel's
1. Decisions

"May I'm confused!!" I said pulling my hair in frustration.

"i think Le should continue Le's education. Age is not a problem, there is my friend who is 18 years old just entered High School" he said rubbing my back slowly. (Le is a call to an aunt)

I looked up at him in the head, who was looking at me right now. My age and May are only 1 year and 3 months away. I'm older than him, but he's more mature than me.

"i also want to continue High School, but are you and Mom going to allow it? They want to see me work immediately." I said looking down lethargic.

"tell 'em. Le said that if Le wanted to go to school, he would work while he was in school. Le will make his own money for Le's school fees later, but that means Le can't send money to Nini" he advised.

"i'll think, I came home” I said the baranjak left him who was still sitting on the Ranggon.

(Ranggon is a shack-like place made of bamboo arrays that are linked to each other, with the parts of each wall made half-closed and the roof sometimes made of wood)

...

After a long time of thinking things through, I have decided to continue my education. Besides, it's true said Mei, age will not be a problem. My principle now is to continue to study with earnest, diligent and God willing God will open the way for me later. Marriage that has been a consideration in achieving my dream immediately completed for a while, I believe if I succeed later will certainly be many people even men who want to accept me. Amens..

Yes, now I will not be too focused on finding my soul mate and fearing that my age will be too old to get married if I have to continue school, because now I have to be able to live alone without relying on others.

"how's Le?" ask Mei, I'm in her house right now.

"i'm continuing the school. Doa'in ya May"

"yes, I must be doain kok Le" he said passionately while sharing a sweet smile due to dimples on his left cheek.

"have you told Nini?" continued. I looked down and shook my head.

"i'm afraid they don't agree" my great-grandson.

"they certainly agreed" he said then hugged me tightly.

...

"Mom" call me.

"hm" he replied, who was still focusing on the television screen that was displaying Dangdut broadcast.

"i'm Mah, seriously this" I said.

"i want to go to school, right?" Mom looked at me right away.

"why?" tanyakanya.

"yes peeper, I don't want if the gini continues. I want to change the fate of our family." I said lowered my head.

"but I'm the same you don't have any money to pay for it"

"Key promised not to ask for money. Key just wanted permission, and "my word hangs.

"dan?"

"maybe Key can't send Mom money" I said withholding tears. I don't know why I always cry when I face problems about education. But I tried not to cry in front of my mother. I don't want to be considered weak.

"can you?"

"god willing can be Mom. As long as there is a will, there will be a way"

"well, Mother allow it. Who will you stay with?" my mother asked with a face that was beginning to worry.

"maybe for a while I'll stay with Pri mas and his family. After that maybe I will contract or spend." I replied.

"it's important that your heart is there, take care of yourself. If that's your decision, I'll support it. Sorry Mom can't please you Key" My mother's tears melted as she hugged me.

"it's not Mom's fault, sorry Key, all this time Key has always been difficult for Mom" I said with tears that could not be held back.

"then Daddy?" ask me after taking off our embrace.

"let me do the talking" he replied.

****

The day of my departure for Jakarta has arrived, everyone supports my decision. At first they refused but eventually they became supportive of me after hearing my explanation. Mas Pri also allowed me to stay contracted for a while.

I immediately boarded the trip that my family ordered. I waved my hand as the travel car started to drive away from my home residence.

This is the beginning of my story, I do not know what will happen in the future, but I Keysha Tiarani very sure there will be happiness after the struggle. I will continue to fight for the future to change the fate of my family. I don't want to be a farmer or a maid.

My eyes began to feel heavy until I finally fell asleep.
