Relax, Zinad replied. He just wanted to reward Cherry with hard work for the rest of her life.
"Tonight don't forget to go to bed early, don't work anymore, okay? Tomorrow morning I'll pick you up at home, we go to college together, how?" Zinad is still fine, so he wants to pick up Cherry in the morning.
Being Cherry is indeed worth it if you still do not believe what you get from Zinad. He is so loved by many people, until college alone someone willing to finance him until graduation later.
"Thank you, brother!"
"I really owe you a lot. I promise, I won't let you down at any time!" Cherry became excited, happy.

At night, Cherry could not sleep because she would register for college tomorrow along with Zinad—, a woman who had been considered her brother.
"Sir Zinad is very good, in this world is indeed Brother Zinad and his grandmother is the best," murmured Cherry.
Geck, tok, tok…
Door knocked.
"Whoa, who's coming at this hour, anyway?" his gerrick.
Actually this Cherry has a lover—Max who is the same age as her. Cherry and Max begin dating from middle school with childhood love. Their relationship is actually just friends but friendly. However, Cherry thinks Max is her lover.
"You?" Cherry opened the door.
"What's wrong?" ask Max.
Max observed the entire body of Cherry who was still wearing a plain white T-shirt and pants. "Hey, don't you have a job tonight? I'm ready to drop you off, but you—" Max looks up at Cherry from top to bottom.
"I'm off" replied Cherry, folding her hands together.
"Well?" max's eyebrows up next door.
Back Cherry talk. "Tomorrow I want to go to college, and I don't seem to want to work at that place anymore!" emphatically.
"Weh, why?" max asked suspiciously. "Do you have any money for your college tuition, honey? College is expensive. Hmm, how are you capable?" that mocking tone made Cherry sick.
Cherry has long wanted to stay away from Max because the relationship between the two has begun to be unnatural again. Max also turns out to be nothing like he used to be. Then, that night was the right night to decide everything for Cherry.
"I want us to break up" Cherry said curiously.
His decision was not carefully thought out by Cherry. However, he is tired and does not care anymore about any response Max about him.
BLAM!
Cherry closed the door of her house with a loud push. During her work nights, her boyfriend always earned money from her. Love has begun to fade when he knows, that the lover only uses it.
"Woy, what does this mean? You threw me away?"
"Cher!"
"Woy, Cherry!"
"Hey, open the door!"
"What the fuck? Poor people have doubts about going to college,"
"You can't, hahaha! Just wait, see what happens. You will sell yourself again!"
No matter what the guy says. Cherry still does not want to see the lover who has become her ex. He has suffered enough to be used by Max in the name of love.
"I've been looking forward to this for a long time. I don't think today came and went well" murmured Cherry, wiping her chest.
"He has changed. I don't even know who Max was before!"

The expected morning has arrived. After breakfast, Zinad comes to pick up Cherry to go to college with him. Previously, Cherry has also asked permission to the store owner for permission first.
"How are you ready?" zinad asked, wearing his sunglasses.
"It's ready, brother," said Cherry, tidying up her clothes.
It was very obvious that there was nervousness on Cherry's face. "Sister, I ... I .. but, I was so nervous today. Hmm, what if I can't? Moreover, the in— major" greeting from Cherry paused for a while.
In accordance with the wishes that Cherry would take according to her ability. He entered the vocational business just as Zinad did. "We'll just sit here, you'll bring a drink, won't we?" ask Zinad kindly.
As the two of them sat next to each other, Frans' lover from Lui approached them. "Eh, Cher, are you here too?" sweep it in a friendly manner.
"Frans, you're a business major too, are you?" ask Cherry back.
"May I sit behind you?" Frans asked permission from his lover who put on an unpleasant face.
"Please" Zinad replied briefly.
"I can't believe you went to college, Cher. I thought ... You'd end up in High School only!" frans felt close.
"You guys if you want to talk later. It's a class, it can't be an unimportant chat here!" ketus Zinad's.
Lui is like that. He just didn't want Cherry's education to be interrupted because of someone else who wasn't important to him. Because, Cherry is like her own sister who must be guarded until it can be successful.
"I'm sorry, he was like that" Cherry whispered in sign language.
"Let's just calm, I don't have a problem!" frans also uses a signal.
No doubt, this Cherry is indeed very diligent in doing anything. In fact, he had missed the class, but was able to follow the material that had been left behind.
After class, Cherry told Zinad to continue working at the florist again. Still, Cherry does not want to lose money that is not how much.
"Sister Zinad, I say goodbye first, yes. I have to go to the flower shop, you know," said Cherry.
"I'm taking you, yeah. All right, I also want to buy flowers for my friend who's having a birthday" Zinad said, patting Cherry on the shoulder.
"Em, may, Brother. Come on, let's get there. Later I will arrange flowers for Brother's friend with special," chirped Cherry cheerfully.
They passed through Lui and Frans. Sontak makes Lui surprised when she sees Cherry in the same campus as him. Makes him not believe if the florist can go to college on that elite campus.
"Isn't ... who just passed it was Cherry, huh? How come he's here, anyway? Did anyone order flowers from her?" murmured Lui astonished.
"Why should you be surprised, dear? Your best friend is also in college here. Even he and I were in one class this morning" Frans explained.
"What?"
No wonder Lui was so surprised. He did not expect that his childhood friend could attend business class, where the cost of studying in the department was very expensive. Lui knows what Cherry's brain is capable of.
"Darling, didn't I hear wrong. You serious? Cherry—can go to college here?" tanya Lui still could not believe it.
"Yes, he was with his older brother named—Zinad" replied Frans.
'Hum, it's just fitting that he could go to college at this expensive campus. It must have cost everything, yes, that woman. Why, anyway, the woman was willing to finance the college of someone else who is not important like Cherry that!' sulut Lui in the heart.
He was very upset to see Cherry be able to study at the same campus. This Lui is an enemy disguised behind the word friendship. Both of them have known since childhood. However, Lui's envy is what makes her hate Cherry's luck.
"Darling, why are you so upset?" ask Frans. "Hey, shouldn't you be happy, since your best friend is also in college? You can go and go home together, right?" continued.
"I want to go home!" sulut Lui precedes Frans to walk.

Elsewhere, Zinad was talking about many things about the famous campus. He said that Cherry could get in there thanks to her father who became the third largest donor on the campus.
"So, Daddy's the biggest donor, but still the third? Who is first and second?" ask Cherry. "Surely a great man!" guess it.
Zinad smiles. "The two donors were one of the Smiths. A family with great influence in this city. Actually, I was betrothed to their only son. But I refused," he explained.
"Why refuse?" ask Cherry again. "Aren't you guys gonna look good later, brother?"
"I love others. Plus, her only son was so annoying. I don't like him, if you want—I'll ask Dad to arrange that match with you" Zinad replied.
Cherry immediately raised her hand, then moved her own. "Hey, why am I?" of course Zinad's words took Cherry by surprise.
"My father adopted you as the second daughter in my family, Cher. If you want, I'll tell you to arrange a delayed match for you" Zinad continued, patting Cherry on the shoulder.
"No!" reject Cherry. "I'm really grateful that Father Brother has adopted me. I just want to be his sister, brother! I don't want to be the wife of a rich man. To be honest I want to focus on learning first—," Cherry is like a child who whines to her brother.
"Good, that's my brother!" Zinad grinned, he grabbed the shoulder of his adopted sister.
