Dream of the Village Girl

Chapter 1 Desire For College

Rain still remains faithful to accompany the village community where I was born from the Maghrib to Isaiah. As if providing comfort to release fatigue after various activities carried out by the village community. Likewise with me and my family in the simple living room we gathered while accompanied by bananas and cassava and ginger tea that can warm the body from the constant taunts of rain reluctant to subside.

Almost every night after the Isya prayer, I have the name Naura Eka Febriana who is usually called Naura and my family consisting of my father, mother, sister named. Naya Dwi Handayani and my younger brother Ananda Tri Diansyah always gather to tell us what activities have been done by each of us, it also aims to always maintain communication between fellow members in my family. Although, I am from a simple peasant family, but my father and mother always taught us to be grateful for the sustenance given by God and always pray and strive to - Him

" Nduk soon you will graduate from High School, after graduating what are your plans?" My father opened up a conversation between us.

" Yes, sir, Naura's plan is to continue her studies sir." Answer Naura

" The tuition fee is very big, Ra" said the mother in a sad tone. " How did you find that school, Ra?" continued the mother

" It's not a school called Mak, it's a university or a slang campus Mak." My sister Naya gave an explanation regarding where to get an education to college.

" Oalah Nduk, yes it's natural that your mother ndak ngerti our people just finished until SMP doang, hehehhe," said the father smile - smile. We could all just shut up and look at my mom and dad.

"But even though we only graduated from Junior High, Father and Mother hope that you can continue higher school." Continued the father, even though the father and mother of a simple family and do not have a high education but the father's thoughts are not like the people in this village.

Yes, although now it is modern times, but the mindset of the people in my village is still traditional where they think that the girl does not need to continue higher school. Free high school - high later if married will follow suit and end - end to the kitchen as well. Because the nature of the woman is only three, namely to the kitchen, well and mattress.

" Naura has asked with Missi Pak, Naura's homeroom teacher, she supports Naura's desire to continue to College. He said it would be a pity if Naura just finished high school because Naura is a smart child. Continuing next week from the school will enroll students who want to study where the school works together with the campus to provide fee waivers during the education period. Then if we succeed we can get a scholarship from the campus, sir. In addition, Missi will also help Naura to take care of all the needs in the admission to college. And if he graduates he will also help find Naura a place to live in the city during college later sir." Obviously Naura was at length.

" When you graduate, is it free for Ra?". Ask mom.

" If for the beginning of the semester has not been Mak, we still pay tuition money but lighter than the general path of Mak. If Naura manages to get a scholarship in the next semester all costs related to the lecture can be borne by Mak. So we're just thinking about the cost of our lives Mak." Naura

" It's good, brother, also want dong. Kan Naya wants to be a dress designer." Naya said

" The designer is opo after all Nduk?" asked the father

" Oalah the tailor anyway, if the tailor just do not need to get to college anyway. You just ask to teach it the same as Anum." Says

" Beda dong Pak is the same as Anum, if this designer is the person who designs, creates, and develops clothes Pak. A designer must also have high creativity and visualization skills, sir. So the result will be unique from the others sir. If bik Anum will sew clothes with existing patterns." Clearly Naya while advancing her lips slightly forward.

" Ooooo" the father simply exclaimed as his mouth formed the letter O.

" If your mind wants to be what is Nda?" ask mom while watching her youngest child. Because Daritadi Nanda just silence and be a generous listener.

" Nanda actually wants to be an agricultural engineer, sir." Nanda replied embarrassed - ashamed because he thought his mind was too high and it would be a burden for father and mother.

" You've been an engineer every day to help you out in the fields." Says

" Beda sir, sir,if Nanda studied at the farm Nanda can manage the field of the Father to be more optimal again because Nanda learned how and tips in farming to produce a more satisfying harvest Pak there is a knowledge, sir." Obviously Nanda. Although Nanda still sat in the 7th grade of First High School but her knowledge of agriculture was quite extensive.

" Therefore, yes whatever your minds, Father and Mother will try to educate you until it is finished. As long as you also have to really try and study hard and do not forget to always pray so as not to disappoint Father and Mother." Said my father advising us all.

" Yes Sir." Answer us simultaneously

" And remember we are from a family that can not afford so you do not have a high lifestyle because you feel highly educated. Be humble and simple." Tympal mom

" Good Mak. We will always remember the advice of my father and mother." Naura is voiced by Naya and Nanda

" It's 10 o'clock in the night that you go to sleep,"

They also left the father and mother of the living room to their respective rooms.
