The Underwater Palace
Graduation Day
Smiles adorn this special day the cry of happiness is heard echoing in the field, the wishful thinking of the future is thrown from each person.
The excitement was more complete with a photo session together wearing a school uniform in the middle of the field.
Bagaskara (sun) was sheltering behind the clouds so that we could enjoy this atmosphere longer even though only for a moment the weather was not scorching but very warm.
“Aya. congratulations yes you graduated with good grades,” said Nia.
“Thank you to Nia. By the way you later after graduation want to say?” my many.
“I want to go to college to study midwifery,” Nia said.
“Wah ... Hopefully you can achieve your goals as you always tell me,”.
“Aamiin. What if you were Ya?” ask Nia.
“I look like I'll start looking for work,”.
“You don't want to go to university?”
I shook my head, “Pity you if you have to pay for my school continue,”.
“You want to work where the plan is?”
“In the factory maybe, I heard there is a factory that is open a massive vacancy. This is my chance to get in there,”.
“Let's keep frequent chat and call right Ya?” said Nia.
“Nia Definitely. You are my best friend.”
'I eventually graduated with satisfactory grades, ' I murmured inwardly.
I was both happy and sad, because I had to part with Nia and also my best friend Laras.
I got word from him that after graduation he'll move to Cilacap soon.
Now I have to face the rigors of life to make money. I actually really want to continue my education to a higher level but I don't think I will be able to because of the cost.
I paddled my bike casually towards home, when at home I showed my value to my brother looks happy because I was ranked 3rd.
“Alahamdulillah's. Where to continue? Let me find out the registration information,” said abah.
“Aya mau begawi (work) aja Bah,” sahutku.
“Why?”
“Aya dizzy if learning continues, mending work can be money,” sahutku who does not want to be a burden to abah.
“Ya already, but if you change your mind on (let me know) Abah.”
I'm actually still not sure about this decision but I also don't want to be a burden on the family, I also have no experience in working at all.
My HP rang apparently it was an incoming call from Laras.
“Halo Laras,” said I picked up the phone.
“Halo Aya. How ... How?”
“Yes value you, I'm sure it must be good.”
“Aalhamdulillah's. I'm ranked 3rd.”
“Wah ... Congratulations yes.”
“Oh yes yesterday you had time to say if you graduate later want to work right?” ask Laras.
“Iya why Ras?”
“Where do you work in the bakery mama I aja,” sahut.
“Serious?”
“Yes yes seriously Aya. Mama said I was there again need a cash register guard because the workers who used to stop for giving birth.”
“I want to. But I don't know how to use the cash register.”
“Quiet. There is Iyan he later taught. Count up let there be work she ha-ha-ha.”
“Ya. Tomorrow you just come there, after all the location is not far from your home,” continued Laras.
“OK. Again thanks Ras.”
I hung up, I was so happy to get a job close to my house. Compared to the factory, it is quite far away.
“Congratulations for your graduation.”
Atmajaya suddenly appeared beside me.
“Astagfirullah!” my peek.
Apparently my voice was too loud until it was heard by my brother who was in the kitchen.
“Why Yes?” ask abah.
“E-not Bah. There's a fall lizard (falling),”.
I'm used to Atmajaya's presence but I'm not used to her sudden appearance and talk.
“Other times if you want to appear in front of me don't always knock me!” my spoken.
“Then I have to be like what?”
“That there is a door why do not walk casually then enter through the door!”
“If it can come with a snap why should I walk with my feet?” saith.
“Ya-ya yes. It's hard talking to you.”
