The Story Of Euis
Women Don't Want High School
Euis was looking at the blue sky that accompanied his journey to school, At that time he was still sixth grade Elementary.
Blue sky with warm wind as if greeting Euis who was in the back seat of a motorcycle driven by the Father.
Her hair seems to be dancing because it was blown by a gust of wind this morning.
Today Euis was lucky because you want to buy animal feed to the city, so that Euis can come to the front of his school.
If not with the Father, he had to pedal his bike for miles in order to go to school.
Not yet began to learn his clothes have been hunted wet because of sweat due to pedaling his bike.
But today he doesn't need to feel his uniform wet like it used to be.
Arriving at school Euis immediately kissed the hand of the Father.
" Later in the afternoon you pick up, you just wait "
" Yes sir, be careful to bring the motor Mr. " said Euis while waving to the Father who had gone away.
In class, almost all of his friends were busy doing homework.
Some of his friends who are aware of the arrival of Euis look sumringah.
Just sitting down, Dedeh, his best friend, was about to cheat on his homework.
" See your math PR answer dong "Dedeh smiled broadly.
Euis is indeed one of the smartest students in this school, he is always ranked number one every year.
He even donated a few trophies to his school.
Unlike most of the other clever disciples Euis was never stingy with the knowledge he had.
If any of his friends ask to be taught with pleasure he will teach him.
Even if the friend just wanted to cheat without asking to be taught, Euis would also give the answer to the question voluntarily.
No wonder Euis became famous in class, even one school knew who Euis was.
His friend Ali once asked why Euis was never stingy about giving answers to his friends.
And casually Euis replied "Yes I want if there is yes ask to be taught I am just happy because it means he wants to learn, but even if friends only want cheating yes I love it, I just love it, there is no loss for me either"
" Later if you become ranked 1st what? "
" Yes impossible, if he could be rank 1 He would not cheat on me" Euis smiled showing off his rabbit teeth.
That made his friends salute Euis.
From a young Euis really likes to learn, he thinks learning is very exciting and fun.
If there is anything He does not understand, Euis will ask his teacher until he finally understands.
His learning spirit is so high, Euis never once absent from school.
Want hot or rain though he will surely come to school.
Everything went well until finally when Euis graduated from elementary school and wanted to continue to Junior High, his parents forbade him.
" Why can't Euis go to school? the Euis Temens all went to school at Junior High " Said Euis in tears.
The father who was feeding the chickens responded to Euis's question lightly.
" It doesn't have to be the same with everyone else Euis "
" If so continue why A Asep can go to school until now already in High School? "
Father put the feed dsn wash his hands.
Euis followed the Father into the house, He wanted to know what reason you did not want to send him to school.
Even though he has a large chicken farm in his village, there is no way you can not send three children.
Father finally sat at the dinner table and there was Mother who was picking cassava leaves for their dinner.
" Why, sir? Euis sampe kesel so ? " Mom wiped the rest of the tears on Euis' cheek.
" He wants to continue his school to Junior High "Say Mr while sipping his coffee.
Mother took a deep breath "Yes sir, her son wants to go to school if not allowed "
" Any girl if school doesn't have to be so high for what? "
" Why is it Sir? " Tanya Euis was astonished.
" Because you'll end up in the kitchen too, just like your mom. Unlike men who must go to high school in order to be established and support their wives and children "
The tone of the Father was very firm when saying it, as if no one was hurt if the woman heard his words.
" The important thing is that you can read, write and count it is enough for you "
This was the first heartbreak Euis had felt during his lifetime, and ironically it was because of the words of his own Father.
Father who greatly admired Euis, who was very responsible and affectionate to his family.
It turns out that without Euis knowing, you have a very conservative and unreasonable thought.
Euis, who was only twelve years old, felt he had no future because he was not allowed to continue school.
So far Euis has felt to give the best in his school grades by being the highest-rated student.
And it turns out that something proud does not make you proud.
The mother who saw Euis pecking and holding back her tears felt very sad.
Euis was too small to know that reality.
How sometimes women are seen as having no important role in life.
At the hug of his daughter and Euis's cry broke.
His words not only broke Euis' heart but his dreams.
From childhood, he dreamed of becoming a doctor.
In the eyes of Euis the doctor was a very noble job, because it could save others.
He always dreamed of being a doctor in a big city, wearing a white suit and when he walked everyone greeted him.
Euis was too much watching soap opera, he did not know if not all women can be doctors.
Precisely not all women can pursue their goals or even be able to go to high school.
And unfortunately Euis is one of the unlucky people to pursue his ideals.
Since that incident Euis was angry with the Father and did not want to be near the Father.
If there is a Father in the kitchen Euis will rush away, Father does not know if Euis is angry.
But the Father has with his stance, he will not send his daughter.
Euis stared at the form sheet on his desk.
The form is an SMP registration form that should be filled out by the Father.
But the paper is still clean without any scribbles.
Mom tries to cheer Euis up by cooking Euis' favorite meal.
But only this time Euis was not happy to eat a plate of white rice with a bowl of sour vegetables and some pieces of anchovy.
Though it is his favorite food, Euis can even add rice many times if you eat with the side dish.
