Her afternoon. Sheril and her grandmother were sitting in her living room watching their favorite show.
T-tok-tok ....
The sound of her door being knocked from outside. "Who is it, Grandma?" Sheril asked her to guess that her guest had come at this time of day.
"Let grandma see" said Mala's grandmother rushing to the guest room where the main door was.
"Assalamualaikum Granny," said the man made Mala's grandmother frown.
"We're on the school side, is Sheril Mehrunnisa there, Grandma?" Ask the woman who wears the clothes.
"Oh, Sheril's teacher. Come please come in," said Mala's grandmother let them enter the guest room.
"Please sit down, grandma will call Sheril for a moment," said Mala's grandmother invited her guests to sit down.
"Sheril, your teacher's coming. Let's make a drink for them, don't forget to serve a cake too yes" said his grandmother.
Sheril feels there's something from school. Because not usually his teacher came to his residence.
While putting tea and some pieces of cake into the tray, Sheril's heart still asked. Then he went to the guest room to serve tea and snacks for his guests.
"Please drink the Buk, sir," Sheril said with a friendly smile. Then he wants to return the tray.
"Sheril, sit here, son," said one of his teachers named Yusri. He was Sheril's homeroom teacher in Class 12 A.
Sheril obeyed Yusri's mother.
"If you may know, what did you and your teacher come here for?" Grandma Mala opened the conversation.
"Sorry before, Grandma. Grandpa exists?" Ask Yusri's mother again.
"Oh, it's in the back, let me call," said Mala's grandmother, wanting to get out of her seat.
"Let Sheril call him, Grandma" Sheril said.
"Yes, call, son, so that the family knows what purpose we came here," said Yusri's mother again.
Sheril is more curious about what Yusri's mother said.
......................
After Samit's grandfather sat with them. Grandma Mala asked again.
"Say teacher, what mistakes have my grandchildren made" said Mala's grandmother, a little anxious.
The three teachers smiled at the words of her grandmother Sheril.
"Your grandchildren made no mistake, only we came here to give Sheril good news" Yusri's mother smiled widely.
"Yes Grandpa, Grandpa. We are representatives of the school, we are very proud to have students like this Sheril. Sheril has won an international championship, which has been recognized by the ministry of government agencies, which is set as an official international agenda relevant to achievement" Yusri explained.
"Yes, therefore, Sheril is entitled to a scholarship to continue her education at the university that has been determined and has been facilitated complete with an apartment residence," said one of the middle-aged male teachers.
They talked long and wide.
"It is very dear if you do not continue your education, son, your achievements are very high, when else will you take advantage of this golden opportunity," said Yusri's mother assured Sheril, who is not a student, because he had received a direct rejection from Sheril.
"Mom, Sheril doesn't have anyone there, Sheril is afraid, and it's also impossible for me to leave my grandparents, they're old" Sheril said, lowering her face.
"Honey, this is for your future, you don't have to worry about grandma and grandpa here, you know, right, we're getting old, so this is your chance to achieve your goals," said Sheril's grandfather.
"Sheril. This is still in one country, not abroad that you have rejected the other day, the institution of achievement still gives one chance to you," said the teacher chimed in Yusri's mother's speech.
"But, Cake ... "
"Son, it's time for you to make your grandparents happy, for the rest of your grandmother's and grandfather's lives, we want to see grandchildren succeed" Mala's grandmother interrupted Sheril's conversation, he shed his tears.
"All right, Sheril wants to, Grandma," said Sheril lirih.
Ibu Yusri and the others, gave Sheril an explanation and briefing. After a little talk, they resigned themselves.
......................
Sheril could not hold back her tears as she said goodbye to her grandparents. He hugged the aged body. Sheril is deeply saddened to leave both the people she loves after her parents.
"Grandparents take care of their health, hiks-hiks ... " Sheril sobbed in the arms of the two old men.
Grandma Mala wiped away her grandson's tears. "It has. Grandma and grandpa will always pray for the best for you, take care of yourself, son," said the grandmother and grandfather and kissed her forehead.
Sheril was on the plane. For the first time Sheril will fly with a giant Bird in armor.
There are anxious and anxious feelings. His sobs still sounded faint. Yes, Sheril will leave her hometown to study as high as the sky, just like a giant bird on the overlap, which will soon spread its wings towards the sky, towards its main goal.
Sheril stared dejectedly as the giant bird began to spread its wings in the air. Her tears had already flooded her smooth cheeks. For the first time too, Sheril parted ways with two people who had raised her lovingly and affectionately.
Sheril doesn't care about the people around her who just keep looking at her crying. It just spills his sadness.
"Remove your tears" said a passenger on the plane sitting right next to her, giving her a handkerchief.
Without looking, Sheril rejected him subtly.
"Thank you, sir, you'll have your hands dirty, later,"
"No need to hesitate, just take it for you," he offered.
Sheril glanced at the man with a friendly smile, then took the handkerchief she had given her.
"Thank you sir, I'll give it back, after I wash it," Sheril said without a second thought.
"No need, just for you" the man said in a cold voice.
Sheril doesn't think long, how will she return it? While she knew him no, Sheril's address didn't. But it did not occur to Sheril at all because inside her chest still felt tight when separated from both her grandparents.
Now Sheril has set foot in the metropolis without anyone she knows.
The light of night sank. A beautiful girl stops a taxi to an apartment facilitated by the family of the university.
On the way to his apartment. A look at Sheril's smile, for the first time after crying parted with the person she loved so much.
With an astonished heart, Sheril gazed out the car glass. He looked at this metropolitan city filled with sparkles, which seemed endless. The skyscrapers make the city of Jakarta look colorful when night falls.
"A very beautiful city, now I see it live, not just on the screen" Sheril murmured in her heart. He smiled proudly at the atmosphere of Jakarta.
Without Sheril realizing that the taxi car in the overlap had stopped right at the address of the apartment in the business card.
Sheril immediately paid the taxi fare. After that, he immediately looked for the apartment number that had been listed completely on his card.
It wasn't hard for Sheril to find her apartment. After matching the apartment number, without hesitation Sheril pressed the password button and the door was immediately opened.
Sheril immediately entered and circulated her gaze throughout the apartment. Sheril checks in various corners ranging from bathrooms, cooks, clothesline and lastly is the room.
Seeing the mattress so soft according to Sheril, he immediately dropped his body on the mattress. His eyes looked at the ceiling of his room that nuanced gray, the design of the room was liked by Sheril.
So tired, Sheril just fell asleep.
