Dreams of a Poor Girl

Chapter 16

Day after day passed, this was the time that Zulfa and all the students of class xii had been waiting for, namely the announcement of school graduation.

In his class, Zulfa was very anxious, waiting for the results of the test some time ago.

"Alright, kids. Now I will give you an envelope that contains a paper that says pass or not pass.

After you open the envelope, you can go straight out of the classroom and go to the classroom to see the real results" explained homeroom teacher Zulfa.

"Well, ma'am," the children replied in unison.

After explaining earlier, the homeroom teacher immediately distributed one envelope to the students in the class.

"Now, you can open the envelope!"

With trembling hands, Zulfa opened the envelope and saw the contents. On the paper it was written if Zulfa graduated, not wanting to be too wondering, Zulfa then dropped out of the classroom and headed to mading to see the graduation list.

He began to research one by one the names of students, until at the exact stop at the last sequence number. His name is written with a statement of graduation and gets the highest marks in his school.

"Thank God, O God. In the end, my efforts were not in vain. I can continue my education to go to college" said Zulfa with tears that run down the river because touched by his achievements.

"Congratulations, Fa. You are really proud, all your efforts are sweet," said Bryan who also happened to be new from seeing the list in the mading.

"Thank you, Bry. Brother Zahra must be happy to hear this news. All thanks to the do'a and the blessing of brother."

"Good luck in the next stage, Fa. Don't forget to keep up the spirit!"

"Yes, Bry."

After seeing the mading, Zulfa returned to his class. He still did not expect the results of his test.

"Fa, you're called the principal! He said he was told to go to his room" Widya said, who was ordered by the principal to call Zulfa.

"Yes, Wid. Thanks, yeah."

Zulfa rushed to the headmaster's room. He wondered why he was called there. Upon arriving in front of the headmaster's room, Zulfa sighed for a while then knocked on the door.

Tok tok tok tok

"Lake in!" sahut from within.

"Excuse me, Sir. You called me?" ask Zulfa after entering the room.

"Yes, please sit down!"

Zulfa pulled the chair in front of him, precisely facing the headmaster, but still blocked the table.

"I congratulated you before. Because you are a very accomplished student, you get the highest grades in school" said Mr. Guntur.

"Thank you, sir."

"I'm calling you here because there's something I want to say. You get a scholarship to go to college. So, I hope you use this opportunity well, so that you can scent the name of our school because of your achievements," explained Mr. Thunder.

"Good, Sir. I will do well, hopefully in the future there will be other students like me."

"Yes, you can go back to class."

Zulfa left the principal's room with a happy heart. Soon he will begin to reach his dreams and realize his ideals.

Arriving at home, Zulfa immediately headed to his room to change clothes. Then he approached his brother who was behind the house.

"Sister!" call Zulfa and sit next to his brother who is planting mustard.

"Lho, are you home at this hour?"

"Yes, Brother. Today's graduation announcement and I have some good news for Brother."

"What, Deck?" asked Zahra then paused for a moment while looking seriously at her sister.

"I got a scholarship to go to college because I got the highest grade in school."

"Alhamdulillah, my brother was very happy with him. Congratulations, yes! Congratulations on fighting for a bright future" Zahra said, hugging her sister.

"All thanks do'a and blessing from Brother. Eventually, I was able to realize my dreams and ideals. Pray that later if I succeed, I will give whatever you want, as a form of my thanks to Brother."

"That's a big brother's duty, Dek. Because now the brother who became a substitute father and mother. What you expect is only one, be a human being who remains humble even though you have succeeded and succeeded in becoming a successful person."

"Yes, Brother."

One week later.

Now Zulfa is preparing all the requirements to apply to college. When he was busy putting the requirements into a brown envelope, the phone on his bed rang.

"Assalamualaikum, Ma!" greet Zulfa after receiving a phone call.

"Va'alaikumsalam, Fa. You how are you?"

"Thank God I am good, Mom. Mas Iwan how are you?"

"Thank God I am good too, Fa. Oh yeah, I called you just to say that the form I brought. So, you just have to leave here and bring another requirement."

"Yes, Mas. Thanks for helping me."

"Together, Fa. Don't worry, just think of me as your own sister."

"Yes, Mum."

"As for the hostel, you calm down. I've got a place that happens to be not far from campus."

"How much does it cost per month, Mom?"

"For a while you don't have to think about it, let me take care of it. If later you're accepted to the college, you can think of the monthly."

"But, I've taken too much of Mas Iwan."

"That's okay, Fa. One day if I need help, you can change to help me."

"Yes, Mas. I will not forget the services of Mas Iwan, again thank you for everything."

"Yes, Fa. How many thanks did you say?" asked Iwan while chuckling.

"Hehehe, yeah I hung up. Want to prepare the same requirements as my needs."

"Yes, I'll see you on campus."

"Yes, Mas. Assalamualaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Fa."

After the call was cut off, Zulfa put his phone back on. He then continued his activities that had stopped because he received a call from Iwan.

Today Zulfa will leave for the city of P between Amir and Zahra. Before leaving, Zulfa took the time to buy necessities for there.

While on the road after returning from the store, Zulfa met Bryan who had just returned to take his papa to the garden.

"Where are you from, Fa?"

"From the store, Bry. Buy a bath for me to take to City P."

"You went to college there?"

"Yes, Bry. It's leaving soon."

"We're going to LDRan dong."

"You're like a kid, Bry. I went there because I wanted to start the fight to reach my goals."

"Yes, Fa. You be careful, yes! Take care of your heart for me!"

"Yes, Bry. Do'ain hope my efforts don't end in vain."

"Sure, Fa. Don't forget to always call me if you're not busy."

"Yes, Bry. I go first, yeah. Fear of waiting for Zahra."

"Yes." Yeah."

After the conversation, Zulfa rushed home for fear that her brother would wait too long.
