LOVE Plus Minus

"Cintya, do you intend to study medicine?" ask the principal.

Hearing that sentence, a new glimmer of hope appeared in my heart. Hearing the word medicine my heart is beating fast. Being a doctor was my dream. I saw me now wearing a clean white suit plus a stethoscope hanging around my neck. I look so beautiful, my face is more radiant exuding the spirit of life.

"Cintya, did you hear my question?" the muttering of the principal awakened me from the euphoria of the heart.

"uh. sorry sir. Did I hear wrong?" just polite.

"So like this. Our school will enroll some students through the invitation. One of them is you. After the Father and the other Teachers discussed, we agreed to register several candidates for the medical faculty. That's also if you are willing, if not do not feel condolent." explained the headmaster at length.

"Thank you sir, I will discuss with my family first sir." I replied later.

"alright. You can go back to class." said the principal.

"Excuse me sir, ma'am" I said politely as I withdrew from the room.

I left the principal's room with a mixed heart. The fact that I had the chance to pursue my dream really worked me out, but there was something that was troubling to this heart. Before stepping into the classroom I took a deep breath and threw it away.

"May there be a way." My mind knocked on the door but there was no answer.

Feeling unresponsive I decided to knock on the door again. But the result is still nil.

"Is the teacher angry?" many nervous.

Suddenly someone came and entered the classroom. Someone who acts like I'm invisible. The man, who else if not George. "oh yeah." My inner self who suddenly realized something when looking at the uniform worn by the man. Sport uniforms. I rushed in and grabbed the sports uniform from inside my bag. After changing uniforms in the dressing room I immediately ran into the field and joined the students from my class.

"Cintya. run." exclaimed Mr. Matrin the gym teacher.

"Sorry sir. I'm late." I said as I now joined the ranks with my friends.

"Just follow the warm-up move." the order ignored my apology.

"One two three four five six seven eight, two two three four." we counted while following the movements instructed by Mr. Martin.

After a ten-minute warm-up, Mr. Martin divided the entire student body into teams. The men go to play basketball, while the female students are playing volleyball. After playing a round most teams inhabited by students give up playing and choose to sit back and relax in the school park. While Mr. Martin was busy watching the students who play basketball.

"Cin, watch the basketball team" said Noni as she grabbed my hand and led me to the basketball court.

"Cin, you don't have a problem, do you?" asked Noni on the sidelines of our footsteps.

"Gue's fine Non." I replied briefly.

"Well, why are you called the headmaster?" ask again.

"Cintya, if there's any similar story I will. I am very worried about you, especially before George was also called to the Principal's office" said Noni honestly voiced her concern.

"Relax, I'm fine. The matter of meeting with the principal had nothing to do with him." I obviously was reluctant to mention the name of the man.

"Gue hasn't moved here when you get the same problem he's in, but I believe you're not wrong. Although you also never tell the real events to the cave." said Noni.

"It's so naive to be loe. What if they're right?" I asked Noni's opinion about the gossip circulating in the school.

"If they're right, aren't you in the DO of this school?" doni asked seriously now we are on the basketball court. We sat in the audience, enjoying the boys' games from our class.

"so that's why you're taking my side?' I answered Noni's other questions.

"Even yes Cin, even if you are wrong and hurt her mama George like gossip that is spoken of by everyone, I am sure you do not do it with clear reasons. So I stay on your side." explains Noni at length.

"My goosebumps." I joked later.

"Gue seriously Cin. Loe dikeroyokin the same whole school is not necessarily react, especially if one on one." he realized my attitude is always not dizzy with the ugliness of some students who bother me.

"Would you watch or talk?"tanyaku sharp.

"Also madam." she replied innocently with a shy smile.

Now Noni is enjoying a basketball game by students from class XII B. I was busy with my mind. About the dreams, hopes and realities that I had to face at the same time.

"Even if I discuss with them, the answer is definitely no." I murmured inwardly.

I really realized that the desire to demand education to the level of college would be very burdensome for my family. Let alone college, to be able to survive school to this day just a lot of things that we have to fight for. My mother was a dishwasher in a restaurant, while my father only worked as a builder to make my family face economic difficulties. My family had a good life once too. When you work in a big company, with a big salary. But suddenly he was in PHK, while since then also the wholesale obtained by the father's team is getting reduced. All of a sudden we had to slam the steering wheel, the car, the jewelry, the savings were all used up to connect life. It happened three years ago, when I was Junior High. At that time I almost dropped out of school, not having the heart with the struggle of my parents. But because I could not bear to betray every sweat that flowed through their bodies, I also decided to survive and learn to adjust to the condition of my family.

In our house teenage girls who used to be routine beauty care, now lost turned into cute girls. What has not changed from me is a reading hobby and a dream to become a doctor. While everything else has changed. I who since childhood used to be escorted by a private driver, now even more often walk everywhere to save rupiah.

"Non, come. You this, long time can kesambet. magamunin what the hell?" asked Noni to wake me up.

"uh.. is it done?" nervous said.

"From ten minutes ago. Loe, why, right? Buset dah Cin, I was afraid of loe kesambet earlier." said Noni.

"Hush.. don't talk carelessly, pamali." I replied reminding.

"Yaudah yok to class." take Noni again.

We left the basketball court and went straight back to class. While the other students, of course immediately stormed the canteen.
