He's Mine (Sharing Love)

The Plan to America

"Sister. Brother Ara."

Ara turned her head, as her father, Abhimanyu called out to her.

"Yes, what's up?" Ara answered her father's call, while walking closer, to where her father was sitting.

Abhimanyu, patting the chair beside him. Giving a sign that, Ara was asked to sit down as well, so that she could talk to herself more comfortably and calmly.

Ara also according. He sat down beside his father, and was ready to listen, to what his father was trying to say.

"In a moment, Big Brother will move up to eighth grade. And it seems, time is fast the way."

Ara simply nodded, confirming the words spoken by her father.

"Is there any plan for school anywhere else? Or still at school?" asked Abhimanyu, fishing for what his son wanted, for his plan in the future.

"But it's still two years. Does Ara have to think about it now?" asked Ara, who did not understand yet, where the direction of the conversation they were in at the moment.

Abhimanyu let out a long breath. He was actually confused as well, to be able to convey something, which was still too early.

"Hemmm, not even Brother. But, Big Brother is getting older you know, there must be planning from far away, so that Father and mother, can also think of everything, to help the plan Brother."

Ara speechless. He was too small to understand and think any further, other than what he was currently living.

But hearing the words and explanations given by her father, Ara finally understood. He had to plan everything, so that his father could be prepared for the cost, mentally and whatever was necessary, because there was no way he could do everything himself, without the support of his two parents as well.

"If you can and can afford it, you'll try to get a scholarship to America. So Senior High School is there. Later, I'll try to make the cost. The school of the scholarship."

Ara stared at the voice of her father. He doesn't know yet, if there's a high school kid, who can get a scholarship and school there.

Ara only knew, if it was for college kids and she had thought of deciding to go there, if she could.

But this is his father's offer, what a comfort.

"Can Ara be Well?"

Finally, Ara asked her father, as she was not sure yet.

"There is Kak," replied Abhimanyu, then gave an explanation to Ara, about the scholarship he could get later, if he had entered the level of high school education.

And not just in Indonesia, but SMA to America there.

But, you must really maintain your achievements, language skills, and some conditions that must be done to be able to get the scholarship.

United States Department of State (U.S. The Department of State) is opening the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program for high school/degree scholarships.

This scholarship program (YES), is a full scholarship program that has existed since 2003, and has sent more than 700 Indonesian students and received 10 students from the United States.

Abhimanyu still explained some of the requirements, which must be done to be able to get the scholarship, when Anggi came and cut off their conversation.

"So I want to go to America!" anggi said, excitedly, upon hearing the word America.

"Why are you going to America?" ask Ara quickly.

"You'll meet Captain America!" anggi replied quickly, because he likes cartoon characters and hero movies.

But actually, Anggi does not know, whether all the characters he idolizes are in America or not.

"Sad. We're not there for picnics or play games."

Anggi seemed to frown, because of the words spoken by his brother.

"You don't go there every day, brother!" sahut Anggi, with his face still pouting.

"How do we live there?"

Anggi, Ara, even Anjani, who had just arrived, was shocked by the question posed by Abhimanyu.

"I mean Dad?" ask Anjani, who does not know what her husband is planning.

"Yes we all live there Mother. So Brother and Sister, can also go to school there. How's it?" replied Abhimanyu lightly.

"Dad" called Anjani, who still did not understand what her husband really wanted.

It turned out that yesterday, Mama Amel also made an offer to Abhimanyu, to manage the family-owned company Samudra, which is in America.

Papa Ryan can no longer handle all his companies. Due to age and health factors, which must be considered.

And the Eagle felt very confident that, the woman only wanted her wealth.

"But Well, in America it is not the same as in Indonesia you know," said Anjani, after hearing the explanation given by her husband.

"Yes must be Mother. There is America just like Indonesia. There's-there's just Mother. Isn't that Deck?"

Anggi nodded in agreement with his father's words. He was very enthusiastic, with the plan that his father had said earlier.

"Nanti Anggi want to see Mona Lisa!"

Anggi, back to wondering, if he was in America there.

"Gluck! It's weird to say it." Ara was grumbling, because of the words of Anggi, which he thought was unclear.

Abhimanyu just shook his head with a smile, looking at the behavior of his two children. Ara and Anggi.

In her seat, Anjani was silent, thinking about what her husband, who had plans to live in America, said.

And it's not just one or two days. But over a long period of time.

'In America it is advanced, in education, in technology and in business. But what about the development of free children there? Will Ara and Anggi not be affected?'

Anjani thought a lot, for the good of her children. He just wants their children's lives later, directed by the values and norms that exist in society.

Although Anjani is also aware if, it all depends on one's personality, and support from the family as well.

"Yes."

Anjani turned his head, as Abhimanyu called out to him.

"Not to think about. It's just a plan and an offer. It's still a long time, isn't it?"

Finally Anjani smiled, hearing the words spoken by Abhimanyu, who asked him not to think much about what he said earlier.

"Easy-after. Bye, Anggi. You guys, let's get ready for bed. Tomorrow, we're going to school. And most importantly, no one wakes up late!"

Abhimanyu gave orders and also requirements to his two children.

"Ready Dad!"

"Ok Well..."

Ara and Anggi, simultaneously answered her father's words, with different words.

*****

At Amel's mother's house, in her room Awan.

The music sound from Awan's mobile phone, playing slowly.

Songs by Ade Govinda and Fadly group Padi

I miss you, I'm sure you know

Without time limits, I was stuck

I asked even without a word

Endeavored

You are far in the eyes but close in him

I miss you

The clouds follow the lyrics of the song, as if to live once, if the song is for the story along with Ara.

Now, the clouds are daydreaming again, considering all the events that happened last afternoon. At the restaurant and cafe.

The clouds smiled to themselves, when reminded of the portion of food and drinks he ordered.

'Why do I completely forget, if there is Oma and also om Abi, who came together. Ah, it's really embarrassing.'

The clouds let out a long sigh, after saying themselves inwardly.

'Luckily, I was able to quickly order other food and drinks. With a reason if not ready in between. Hufh..."
