The Poor Girl's
Can't!

Elin confirmed all Nita's words. A year he helped trade but there was no improvement at all, this made Elin's determination.

What is the use at home help trading abah small business and lack of capital. Doesn't the business need a large capital if you want the business to be large.

His determination is unanimous, he will go whether or not the permission of abah or mother.

Elin exited the room looking for her brother and mother, wanting to convey her intentions. He looked like he was sitting in the middle room. Elin approached, she would convey her intentions to you first, after which she would tell you.

Abah is wiser to take a stance on this, he is sure that you will not be emotionally responding to his request later in contrast to his mother. Elin sat down in front of her brother and started to open her voice.

"So, Elin wants to talk about something." Said Elin slowly.

Abah confirmed his sitting position and began to attach his hearing. This girl looked serious, like she was going to say something important, so she focused her attention on listening to Elin's next words.

"There is a large PT. who is opening a job vacancy, Bah. PT. Indoraya. PT. Indoraya is a big company, the salary is also big. Brother Danu also works there." Elin begins the explanation by telling a little about the company he will enter his application.

Elin wanted to be enamored with this company by mentioning a big salary, he thought. But he was wrong.

"Elin wants to apply for a job at this company, Elin wants to take advantage of the High School diploma that Elin has. Allow Elin to work for this company, Bah." Elin Pinta.

"Don't you let me work, why ask for permission again?" Abah did not understand Elin's intentions.

"If it works out of town, can you allow Elin?" Said Elin carefully.

Abah frowned, "Can't!" answer me firmly.

Elin let out a long sigh, rightly guessed. It will be difficult to persuade you if you firmly reject his wishes. Even so he continued to try to persuade abah.

"Please, Bah. It's for the good of all of us. Elin wants to improve our economic situation. If Elin works, Elin will have an income. Salary that Elin can make additional business capital abah, abah business can be more advanced later." Persuade Elin.

"Anah will not give permission if the place is outside the city. You can't be exchanged for money." Say it with emphasis.

"Although outside the city, Elin was not alone, there was an older brother. Elin also left with a friend not alone. This is an opportunity for Elin, please give Elin a chance to have more experience." Elin pleaded.

Abah shook his head. Elin did not understand his brother's way of thinking, obviously his intention was good to improve their difficult life, but why it was difficult to understand that. Wanted him to scream, wanted him to rebel, but all was on his mind. He can't do that.

"Why can't it?" elin asked, wanting to know the reason for banning it.

"You're a virgin. Girls aren't good at traveling long distances with no one watching. If anything happens to you, you won't know because it's far away. Abah can't pawn a girl just for money."

"Change calm down, from here Elin took a bus directly to Jakarta. Until there Elin down at the terminal, later the brother who will pick up Elin to the terminal, Bah." Elin assured abah.

"It can't be." Abah insists.

"Elin is leaving, please pray for Elin. Forgive Elin." Elin then left abah.

Elin stepped out of the house, sitting in her usual spot spilling her sigh. She called Nita, saying that she had already made the decision to leave.

*****

This morning Elin looked neat with the knee-length shirt and skirt she was wearing. Today he will take care of the files needed to apply for his job.

Elin came home in the afternoon after she finished taking care of everything she needed. Tomorrow before leaving, he would take all the letters he had taken care of that day.

At dinner, my mother and brother asked Elin to cancel her departure, but Elin remained steadfast with her stance.

"Bo pray Elin to make things easier, Elin needs prayer and the blessing of my brother and mother. Forgive Elin for not being able to obey your mother's and abah's will. Elin wanted to try new things that could do good to this family. Elin can't back down, Elin's taken care of. It would all be for nothing if Elin canceled." Said Elin.

"Emak will always pray for you, but that doesn't mean you can leave. You can't stay calm as long as you're far away. You're a girl, there's a lot of crime everywhere, you're worried you're okay." Mak.

"Good prayers, Mother. We can't prevent him from making a decision, let him try. Hopefully with Elin working her life is better. Who knows if she'll meet her boyfriend there." Abah.

"alright. Elin take care of yourself. Later there do not be weird, in the city a lot of bad people. Be careful about choosing friends. Do not be influenced by bad things. Mum let you with a note, you should still be a good child," said the mother.

Elin nodded, "Elin must take care of herself there, Elin will always be a good boy, Mommy." Elin

"House will be deserted without you." My mother began to speak sadly.

They hugged, Elin was relieved at last his mother and brother were devastated. No matter how hard the parents, if the child pleads for good, the parents will be devastated.

That night Elin slept quietly, she could not wait for the morning. He would try his luck pitting fate into the capital with a million hopes.

At dawn, Elin blinked. He got off the bed to the bathroom to clean his body and commute to do his duty. Finished with his activities in the room, Elin prepared his personal needs to be brought.

The clock shows at 10:00 am, he was already at the terminal with his mother and brother. Elin introduced her brother and mother to the Ica family who also helped deliver Ica to the terminal. There was a conversation between the Ica and Elin families.

"Children today are different from what we used to be, sir. Not children obey the will of parents just the opposite. I'm also not willing to let go of my daughter, but still we can't prevent her because this is her will and most importantly it's a positive one," ica's father chimed in after hearing her objection to Elin's departure.
