Time goes fast, it does not feel it has been almost 1 month since Ara enrolled to get a scholarship x.
Tuti approached me. ";Ara, congratulations on my scholarship x. You're great, you know. Our friends are 1st class only 5 people who escaped. You're Amir one of them." Tuti congratulated me.
I was shocked and very happy. Absolutely surprise.
"Tik really got away? " i said in a tone of disbelief.
Tuti nodded. "Try yourself to the noticeboard on the right," said Tuti, pointing to one of the notice boards.
I rushed to the notice board.And it was true, there were my names, Amir, Icha, Suci and Kholid. I'm happy and very happy. I can use the scholarship money to buy books.
I am very grateful for being able to qualify for this x scholarship, because the ones that apply a lot and only a few people received.
"Ara, congratulations... You got that scholarship x" said Amir, surprising me from behind. Excited, I didn't realize there was Amir behind me.
"Yes Amir, I'm so happy. But you got it too, congratulations."
Amir laughed happily while nodding.
Not long after the other friends came to us and congratulated us.

After the last lecture was over, I immediately went home, I was waiting for an angkot. Only this time I'm alone, because the friends who are one lane with me have gone home first.
"You learn more diligently, son, "mom's advice to me while still hugging me.
I'm nodding. And Dad stroked my hair. Akju was moved and very happy. Besides I was happy for the scholarship, I was also happy because I saw my parents get along well and happy.
"Yes Ara...I hope that with you getting a scholarship you are more diligent in studying so that your college can be finished quickly.Yes usually graduate within 4 years," Dad added and gave me encouragement.
"Yes dad...Ara will try harder. I don't want to disappoint my mom and dad. Ara wants to make Father and Mother happy" I replied.
The economic situation of my family is fairly mediocre. Both my parents worked as civil servants in one of the government agencies. We are living happily .
Indeed, my father was tempted by a woman of his coworkers in the office, but thankfully now everything has returned to normal, and the father did not get married because he realized his error.
With me getting a scholarship means I can reduce my family's burden. I can help buy the college books and extra for the transportation fare to campus.
After finishing hugging her with mom's dad, I went into the room. I put my body in bed. Earlier I picked up the edelweiss flower that was on the table. I kissed her. My mind went to the guy who gave it to me.
"The story goes, the edelweiss flower is the epitome of true love, but is it really? Ahh. Maybe Pram gave me this flower because he thought I was nothing more than a friend. Hmmm, "my inner. I tried to wake myself up not to expect more from Pram.
I woke up from my sleep. I sat in my study chair and tried to write something in my diary. I wrote my happiness and gratitude for having escaped a scholarship.
I promised to go to college better, more diligent.
