In the afternoon, I also take care of the items that I will bring later.Mom asked me to bring as necessary first and most importantly.Some said mother, can be followed.

I also arrange it in a suitcase that is not so large in size, while carrying a TV that is visible from inside my room.

"Is everything ready?" ask the mother who just approached me.

"Already ma'am, left behind the equipment that I used to use for bathing." I replied.

"Yes, later when it's finished, deliver the food that you keep on the table to uncle's house" said the mother.

"Mom was about to wash the mop," continued the mother.

"Yes mom....."

About 5 pm and half, I went to his uncle's house which was about 500 meters from my house.On the way I accidentally met with Ade my junior sister while in Elementary School,but now I'm the same she's not a school.

"Oh yeah, I happened to meet you" he said.

"Why is that why?" ask me.

"Emang true well, he said you want to go to the city? I accidentally heard it from Riki last night." she explained.

"Yes....."

"Who are you going to?" ask her back.

"Yes most use public cars.But, said my mother later I was among Neha's aunt.It so happens that she said her son and daughter-in-law live in the city that I headed." I explained.

"I don't think you're going to be that brave, you're the only daughter in your family."

"Yes how else, you know for yourself what my family's condition is like.I just want to ease their burden." said I.

"Hopefully it works, yeah,"

"Amen......."

We separated from each other and I continued on my journey.

When I got to my uncle's house, I placed the food box on the table in the dining room at my uncle's house.

"Where are they on? How does it seem like there is no one." I said while looking at the whole house.

I also decided to go straight home.But when I wear sandals, Santi's mother rebuked me.

"Eh Naima, I thought you were leaving" he said.

"Not yet ma'am, only tomorrow the day after I just left" I said.

"Santi also said, just started to enter work yesterday.Unfortunately he did not have to wait long" he said.

"Mom was worried if you had to wait for the call first, but fortunately not," he continued.

"Yes, because of that, there is a recommendation from the school as well.So the process seems to be made easier." I reply.

"So why don't you go with Santi to B****g ? He also went there with Risna" he said.

"Yes ma'am, about her I'm late in the list of her time in school.So hunted down in the registration closes," I explained.

"Oh that......"

"Yes mom......"

I also immediately say goodbye and choose to, passing the other way.Because I already want magrib, I decided to pass the faster road even though I have to pass a rather small road.

Actually, I don't want to take part in the factory that is now Santi's workplace,I wanted to be more independent and because I felt that one job with my friend or neighbor would be different, I was afraid to cause a dispute between the two of us.

I heard that story, though,from my neighbor's son Elis tea.He used to leave to wander with his village friends.Short story he even had a disagreement with his friend because often in ugly by his friend and in a fight that is not-no.

Therefore, my kepergia to this city I chose to keep it a secret.Although in the end almost everyone in my village knew that I would find work there.

Two days have passed, today is the day of my departure to start a new life.

Grandpa and grandma too, to the point that they deliberately stay at home to help release my departure.

I myself was escorted by my neighbor who had a motorbike to get to the bus stop that would take me to the city.

My feelings are now mixed and sad because I have to leave both my parents, grandparents and those closest to me.

"I say yes ma'am, do'akan me to be given smoothness" I said when greeting mother.

"Yes son, I will pray for the best for you" said the mother while stroking my head.

I could see clearly, the blushing face of the mother holding back her cries.

I also took turns saying goodbye to father and others.Maybe father also felt the same sadness with mother.However, he can still hide it.

My grandmother's cries broke as I greeted her, she continued to embrace me and was reluctant to let go of her grasp.

He also had time to give money worth Rp.50,000 into my pocket jalet.

"This is not much, but buy drinks and food during the trip later" said grandma.

"Yes grandma, thanks....."

I finally got on my neighbor's motorcycle, which was waiting for me from earlier.I also waved my hand, to all my family who gathered right in front of my house.

When I passed Riki's house, it turns out he was waiting for me on the side of the road.I asked to stop for a moment to say goodbye to him.

"Be careful on the road well, later when you reach me." he said.

"It must be....."

"This, I deliberately buy you some snacks for your friends during the trip later" he said while giving a medium-sized bag.

"Repot deh, I'm so bad."

"It's okay.Also this is all I can give you" he said.

"Yes already well, then I leave well.I'm afraid bi Neha has arrived first there." said I.

"Yes already....."

I immediately resumed my journey.Truely I was expecting Rafi's presence this morning, but I also knew last night when he called he was already on the way to B*****g to take the test.

I can't force him to come and deliver my departure, because he's also undergoing tests to get into the police force which can be said not easy.

We are both struggling together, to pursue our own ideals.I can only hope that whatever the result will be, it has been the best answer.
