My Love Is Stupid's

Chapter 31

With determination and renewed vigor, Niko looked at Julien. "I don't want to accept someone's gift for free. You can buy all my works except my star ring design drawings", he suggested. "About your apartment in New York, I'm going to occupy it, but on condition that I'll work for you for two years after my graduation from GIA."

Julien rubbed his chin slowly. (Someone who has principles and self-esteem). Previously Julien only admired the design of this young man, now he also likes his personal. "Why don't you want to sell me that one?" tanyanya.

Niko answered calmly. "Because it belongs to someone." (it belongs to Fara).

Niko's eyes challenge Julien. "So, have we reached an agreement?"

Julien extended his hand. "I agree." Niko shook Julien's hand tightly.

At night, Niko looked at her two parents seriously after dinner. "I'm not going to medical school" he said calmly.

Papa turns away in disbelief. "What else is this, Niko? didn't we agree you'd be a doctor?"

"Sorry," said Niko sincerely. "I can't do it. I never wanted to be a doctor. It was my dream, not my dream."

"How dare you say that!" Shouted papa.

Mama moved to the side to calm her down. "Calm down, Pa. Niko, don't make your papa angry. Aren't you accepted into medical school? If you don't go to medical school, what do you want to learn?"

"I'll study jewelry at GIA." Niko looked at her parents without fear. "I'm sorry, pa, ma. I can't make your dreams come true. Thisismylife. And this time I want to pursue my dreams."

Papa looked at his son while smiling cynically. "If you go to college there, papa won't support you. Papa won't help you financially. Do you understand?"

Niko nodded. "I understand. I won't ask Papa for financial support while I'm in college."

Papa was shocked to hear his son's words. "If you want to go, go. Papa won't hold you back. Let's see how long you'll last there."

Niko took a deep breath. "Thank you, pa."

Chasing dreams.....

Part two: Fara Amalia Chef Pasta

Fara, 18.5 years old

Fara had no idea how much longer he could hold on. His feet were half dead. His hand carried a tray of used dinner plates that were of merciful weight. Soon his hands would catch up feeling what his feet were feeling. He's really exhausted.

Time shows at twelve o'clock. Fara rested her legs briefly in the kitchen chair. He saw that the other servants were busy cleaning tables and chairs. Seeing her comrades working hard, Fara stood back up and joined them.

As beautiful as he was to a new city, Fara's life did not go as he wanted. He never thought about how expensive the tuition fees that mom had to spend to finance it. Mama convinces Fara that she can go to college without having to think about financial matters. But Fara knew he couldn't do it. So he decided to find a job.

"But, what about your college?" ask mom disappointed.

Fara. "Until now I don't know what school to go to. Better to have the lecture postponed first, ma."

For the first time Fara and Mama did not agree.

"I know you want to help mom, but your job now is college" she protested.

Finally, Fara found a middle ground. "How about this. I'll be working for a year. During that time I will also save up to finance my college later."

"Are you sure that's what you want?" mama asked still 

Fara nodded. "I want to pay for my own college. I'm an adult now, Ma. I think I have a right to decide for myself what I want to do."
