Chapter 6 ~ Strategy to Continue Life



The next day, the mother's sister came home to see the state of the house and the business we had. Uncle Emi's name. She was the figure where Yola, Mother, and Shakila leaned when Dad left.


Soon after Aunt Khanza came, he was one of the figures who was very instrumental also for Yola, Mother, and Shakila. He who embraces the three of us, he who best understands the feelings of the three of you. Aunt Khanza is also the person who prioritizes the comfort of the three of us.


That afternoon, we put up a strategy for how to move on with life after this? How can I, Mother, and Shakila still eat?


How can Shakila and I go to school?


Long discussion that day. Finally after discussing, the conclusion is that the mother still runs a workshop business assisted by her family, especially Emi uncle.


At first the mother was very afraid to carry out the task, but thanks to the motivation of Uncle Emi and Aunt Khanza the mother still dared to continue this effort.


Yola the figure of a little girl who at that time was still sitting on the Junior High School bench was able to help mother to manage the workshop with all she could, although sometimes just sitting guarding the cashier room while eating a favorite meatball nya.


Yola's days go by with school, lunch, keeping the workshop with mom, and studying.


---------


All preparations to continue high school at Harapan Bangsa Yola prepared in the midst of an atmosphere that he had to heavily undergo his.


"Would you like to be a doctor? Must be brave and strong to continue school outside the city ya." said mother


"We are born into our own world and die by ourselves. So have to learn independently, concerned, and strong from now on huh." Said mother next. This advice that Yola always remembers when she was afraid to face an atmosphere full of pressure.


During school at Harapan Bangsa High School, Yola followed Les at a tutoring place not far from her school.


Yola's days go by leaving school at 7:00 am until 15:00 he is at school. After school, Yola took full lessons for 6 days. Home until 19:00 at night.


At night at home, Yola does her homework tomorrow.


Monday to Saturday, morning to evening, Yola's schedule is filled with study and study. Because of the ideals of Yola and her family also wanted to enter the Faculty of medicine. On Saturday afternoon, Yola went home to see her mother and sister at home.


Every Sunday night, we spend time together. Starting from talking together, cooking together, and eating together.


The next day, when it was Monday at 4:00 am, Yola had to take a shower, and get ready. Because the distance traveled from the school house is 1 hour drive.


Yola took the bus at 5:00 in the morning. For 3 years Yola lived something like that. Afraid? actually, I was afraid to take the bus at 5.00 am and there were no other passengers on the bus. Just Yola and the driver. So scared, thinking about various scary things when on the bus. Depressed? Depressed must fight against fear to realize the ideals and learn to be better than many things. But as time went on, Yola became brave and courageous in carrying out anything. All the processes that Yola went through taught her lessons in each of them.
