Struggle

“Be an optimistic girl, don't be pessimistic. Sure you can!” Jasmine continues to cheer on her best friend, Vanny.

Vanny, is a talented girl in mathematics who is currently in quarantine representing the school following the elementary school math Olympiad, senational. Every day, Jasmine prays and cheers Vanny who is working hard to boast of her school and the province. Vanny smiles and will rack his brain for the sake of his loved ones and loved ones, many lessons that are difficult for him. But he never gave up.

“Number of numbers..” In the middle of the night, Vanny is learning, suddenly an SMS ringing is heard.

“Oh From Jasmine,” Vanny smiled at SMS Jasmine, whose content, “Hei my best friend, what are you doing? I'm sorry I SMSed you in the middle of the night. Spirit yes, 2 more weeks is already a race. Keep working hard, we are here praying for you!” Vanny replied with joy despite the drowsiness to attack him. Finally, Vanny fell asleep because she was tired of learning, yes that is the daily life of Vanny every day.

“Hoaahh...” Vanny yawned hard, he immediately took wudu and performed tahajud prayers. He held prayer beads and prayed to be able to boast the name of his province, especially Jasmine.

“Today is Wednesday, another 1194 days are days.. 1194 for 7. 170 remaining 4. Wednesday plus 4 days…. It's Sunday! Mmm.. The sum of 1 plus 2 plus 3 to 61 is. 62 for 2 31 times 61 so…. 1891!” Vanny smiled happily working on the provisions he brought a month ago. Minutes by minutes passed, Vanny worked on the problem with precision even though slow. Drips of sweat flowed down her face, but as Vanny remained excited, her work there was only praying, SMSing with Jasmine, studying, studying, and studying!

“Vanny remember tomorrow has a race, remember yes you must be optimistic do not be pessimistic, keep the vitamins drunk tuh. Don't forget to pray tomorrow! In the morning you have to study again! Have you taken a shower yet? Have you eaten yet? Later sick loh.. If sick can not race, if not the race can not win, if not win can not be welcomed the same governor loh. Mmm... Everything has been prepared, right? Pencil, eraser, pen, type-x, same ruler already brought right? Tomorrow the writing is checked again neat and clear yes. Bla bla bla...”.

That day, the quarantine study is closed all day Jasmine calls Vanny, Vanny listens while studying. Jasmine spoke at length, suddenly the connection was cut off and Vanny did not notice it. “Vanny, sorry yesterday my pulse is up and has been filled, uh you have prayed not yet. What more?” Jasmine again called Vanny who was making sure of the item she would bring later.

“Waalaikumsalam.

“Hehe sorry, you're the spirit yes!”

“Yes, pray for me to be champion,”

“Sip now you again what?”

“Salat is not yet?”

“Already,”

“Ohh..

“Chooking,”

“Then eat?”

“Not yet..”

“Eating later there is no energy the same can not think. If you can't think many empty ones are just as wrong, then you can't win. If we can not win we will be disappointed, you have said we will not be disappointed. Continue later can not meet the governor,” Jasmine's mouth slurped at length unceasingly. “Iya deh boss..”

The race has begun, second by second passed, minute by minute passed, hour by hour passed. It's been 3 hours Vanny passed to do about it. Quietly and solemnly Vanny worked. There was no sound in the big room. Until finally, time is up. The announcement is tomorrow. That very day, many BBM, SMS, MMS, phone, FB, IG, Twitter, Wetalk, Line, and other SOSMED contacted Vanny. One by one Vanny responded, with great patience.

“It seems, they expect me to be a champion. If I hadn't been a champion, they would have been disappointed. Oh, God gave me the right path.” That night, Vanny looked at the sky filled with flickering stars, she smiled reading a sleep prayer and smiled.

“Medali bronze ... Bla bla bla bla who got gold medal bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla....” MC just spoke at length staring at a paper until finally heard the name Vania Sarasati, the, long name Vanny. No matter what medal he got, he immediately advanced to the front of the stage.

The feeling of pride and pride is in Vanny's heart, he managed to get the gold medal with the highest score. Not in vain his struggle can get a champion so far. It has been 2 years that he has learned to mean it just because of that. All cheerfully cheered Vanny. All applauded with a proud smile. Vanny could only shut up and smile, when Vanny came home to be greeted by many people. As there, all of Vanny responded one by one silently.
