Dream of the Village Girl

CHAPTER 5 Graduation News

A few months later

“ Thank God father, mother, Naura graduated and received college at the favorite and prestigious campus mak..” shouted Naura while running to the back garden approaching the father and mother who were weeding the grass. After approaching Naura immediately kissed the back of mother and father. While breathing is still up and down, he brings good news. “ see mak,pak Naura managed to enter college with the highest score sir. And Naura managed to get a scholarship on the campus.” Naura said excitedly as she showed the paper the result of her announcement.

“Alhamdulillah ya Allah.” Answer mom and dad simultaneously.

“not in vain your efforts nduk so far, I am proud nduk, so you managed to graduate college and get your bachelor's degree nduk.” Said the father moved while stroking my head.

“amin” me and mom guarantee.

After passing the School End Examination smoothly, and taking the entrance exam to college, I was finally able to pass. Out of 15 of my friends only 6 did not pass the college entrance exam. Among the 9 who graduated there are those who entered at public universities with different majors there are majors in Accounting, management, banking, and others. Only I majored in teacher education at a private though private campus but this campus received scholarships for poor but accomplished students who opened cooperation with top schools, including my school.

“ if so, let's go home, you will buy goldfish for us to roast and celebrate the graduation of Naura mak.” Bring father. It was still noon, around 13:30. But after hearing the news that I brought, my father and mother were eager to celebrate my graduation even in a simple way.

“ ayok sir,mak” said enthusiastically while holding the hands of mother.

“yuda later mom and dad will go to the market, mumpung still afternoon.”

“ yes sir,emak also want to cook yellow rice,biar afdol pak.” Answer mom

I was so happy to see the faces of my father and mother beaming happily, I was grateful to be able to make both my parents happy and proud. I will prove the words of my neighbors that ridicule and demean my poor parents. Although I am from a poor village and family, I am not discouraged to continue my education to a higher level. Not that I am selfish without thinking about my parents, but I am sure that the sustenance will be there as long as we are serious because God does not sleep and will always facilitate his earnest servants.

“ we go first yes Ra, Nay.” Pamit father and mother. “ be careful sir, mak” replied me and Naya simultaneously. Father and mother left the yard with their motorbike to the market.

“ Thank God, brother, our prayers are granted by God. Brother graduated school and entered college with high grades.” Naya said thankfully. We told a story while concocting spices in the kitchen. “ Yes Nay, my sister felt grateful to be able to graduate, especially said Missi this campus is an elite private campus, you know,and its students from the middle to upper class all.”

“ the sustenance, not everyone can get this opportunity, especially for those of us who come from the village.”

“ you too, as long as you are serious about learning God willing can go to college as well by getting a scholarship like brother.”

“ yes brother,Naya will try to follow brother.”

“ Ammiiinn”

“ Congratulations yes bro, finally we all pass also.” Galih said as he laid himself on his favorite couch, Yes they were Arlan, Denis and Galih were in the bascampe where they were gathered on campus.

“ yes, I didn't know you and I could graduate college too. Just waiting for graduation day,” Denis replied while pointing towards Galih.

“ you think I'm as stupid as Nis, until I will get a perpetual student title, you know, you're a basic rancid ya.”ucap Galih while poking Denis

“ lha, the reality is that, you almost every night go to the club, then when is your time to learn.” Denis Eject. Galih just grinned the horse that showed a row of white teeth while smiling pepsod*nt. Galih does have a habit of spending nights at clubs, but he does not do acts out of bounds, just drinking while having fun with women just entertaining. Arlan who was silent only paid attention to the behavior of his two friends. He is more focused on finding more info about the campus that will be the place to draw his S2.

“ already, you guys just focus on the next plan.” Arlan opened the sound

“ yes definitely dong, I will also take S2, it has been prepared by bokap, I just follow aja.” Denis.

“alright, to celebrate our graduation and our farewell.” Arlan.

Denis and Galih stared at Arlan's astonishment while frowning both of their eyebrows.

“ How are you talking Lan, where are you going?” ask Garih

“ yes it is during our study S2, we will separate because our campus is not the same. I already know where you're going to study?” arlan replied casually.

“ Where to?” ask Denis and Galih together.

“ Deh, you will also know later from each bokap”

“aaaahhh,your father Lan.” Dengus Galih was upset.

" Au ah, wherever it is that matters now I want to relax.” Denis said while stretching the muscles of his hands and feet. Seeing that, Galih is getting annoyed. “ suck you Den, why not curious.” Denis only replied by shrugging both shoulders while lying on a sizable sofa.

The three friends were finally able to take a break after fighting with their introductory thesis to get a college degree, unlike other students who only bought the thesis or booked the thesis with others. The three of them chose to work on his script with their own efforts and abilities.

“ Eh mbakyu, is it true that Naura passed the exam and was accepted on an elite campus?” ask Bik Warni to mother when new mother arrived at the sales pitch of mang Kasim.

“ Thank God Yes War, Naura passed the exam and was accepted at that campus.” Answer me while choosing vegetables to cook for dinner.

“ What is mbakyu sure, can lecture Naura?in that elite campus you know mbak, the campus for the rich definitely cost her expensive gito youho.” Say bik Warni ketus. He could be said to be his ally Bude Yati if he spoke of the origin of ceplos only.

“ God willing can War, because Naura also get scholarships for outstanding students, so during college the cost is borne. I only paid for Naura's living expenses while living in the city.” Obviously my mom is long.

“ Asal right aj mbak, because as far as I know the cost in the city is very expensive you know, do not later still half way already k.o first and worse even wrong way lho” bik warni

Astagfirullahalazim, my mother tried to resist emotions over scorn and insults bik Warni, “ Insya Allah can War,” said my mother regardless of the bik Warni. “ this how much is all mang?” when finished, my mother paid for her shopping.

“ everything Rp57,000,- mpok.” Answer the eunuch while receiving money and giving your mother groceries.

“ Already mpok, do not listen to Warni's talk, he was just jealous, I'm sure Naura can finish her lecture because Naura is a good child.” Bela mang Kasim's.

“ Is what the hell is this eunuch mang, who is envious?moreover envious of this mbak Tanti? Ogah lah.” Bik Warni said not to lose. Kasim's mother and mang just stroked the chest.

“ Yes already, I first yes War, let's mang?” pamit mother who was nodding the eunuch while Bik Warni just looked at her without looking at her.

Mother approached the father who was waiting in front of the market exit. “ How long Mak?” ask dad

“ Earlier in the field mang Kasim mother met with Warni sir, it could be that he immediately underestimated us to lecture Naura, he said, father know him if the talk was never filtered first from ceplos course” nagging mom upset.

“Ya already mak, don't listen. Let's go home.” Bring father. The motor left the market.
