My Mom Dear My Mom is Poor

Chapter 23

Melati cheers with her best friend Nana, while reading a letter stating that she has officially graduated High School.

"Yeayy finally the time we've been waiting for has come, Mel." Nana's chirps also look very excited because she is also declared a pass.

"Yes, soon Na, we'll live free in the city." Replied Melati who was smiling widely.

"Have you told your parents this plan Mel?" Ask Nana later.

Getting such a question, made Melati instantly speechless, then she immediately shook her head slowly.

"Not at all???" Asked Nana who seemed unexpected.

"Yes, not yet!"

"But why?"

"If I tell my mother now, I'm sure she'll cry and hug me and ask me to stay here." Answer Melati listlessly.

"Eeemmm was right too, almost everyone in this village knows, if your mother loves you so much even seem excessive."

"At last there are also those who realize that, realizing that if my mother is indeed very excessive to me, I also do not know why it could be so. She even used to ignore Rio just for my sake, so sometimes I felt sorry for my sister." Reveal Melati while smiling softly with the look of her eyes that block empty forward.

"Eeemm then when are you planning to tell them?"

"I thought, I'll tell you this later, after I actually graduated and got a scholarship to a public university in the city."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! If that were the case, then my mother could do nothing but allow me to leave." Answer Melati again.

"Eeemmm" Nana was finally only able to nod her head without understanding.

"Then, what about you?" Now Jasmine asked her best friend.

"I told my mom, and she agreed as long as I could get a scholarship, too." Answer Nana lightly.

"Eeemm I'm sure you'll get a scholarship, too, because you're no less smart." Melati finally smiled.

"Yes, but still my cleverness has not been able to beat you who is always the champion in the class."

"I'm just lucky, maybe God knows I need more scholarships in school, so I can win."

"True, too" Nana chuckled.

Since then, Melati and Nana have been studying and searching for information about the University they dream of. And almost every day Melati and Nana spend time in internet stalls (warnet) which is located far enough from their home just to apply for college scholarship lines online.

Time after time passed, and right now, were the most thrilling moments for Melati and Nana, as they looked forward to the final announcement of their intended campus. Every day Melati became often sat in front of the house, only to wait for a courier from the post office who came to deliver an announcement letter.

Until finally, on a sunny morning, from the front of the house there was the sound of a bicycle ontel.

*cringg*

"There's a letter." Courier.

Coincidentally, Aryo was sitting in front of the house while enjoying a cup of coffee before he went to work.

"Who's letter?" Ask Aryo wonder.

"It is meant for Melati Utari."

"Oh yeah, he's my son, just give it to me." Said Aryo who immediately grabbed a white envelope given by the courier.

The mail courier leaves, while Aryo, his forehead starts to shrivel as he reads the name of a prominent university in the city. Not wanting to be greedy curiosity for too long, Aryo immediately opened the envelope without permission first to the owner.

"What is this letter? Why the University?" Ask Aryo in my heart.

With no hesitation Aryo began to unfold a piece of paper in the envelope and read it slowly, a few seconds later, Aryo's eyes appear perfectly rounded when reading the description if Melati his son, who is still alive, pass to enter the University through the path of achievement.

"Huh?! So he already enrolled in college? In town?" Mumbled Aryo again.

Before long, Husna who had just returned from the market, continued to move to pass Aryo, but his steps were immediately stopped by Aryo who felt a little annoyed because he felt ostracized by his own family.

"Heh wait!"

"What's wrong?"

"Here, look at this!" Aryo handed over the letter to Husna.

"Do you know about Melati who has applied to study at State University in the city?" Aryo asked with an unhappy face.

"No, I don't know either! What is the contents of this letter?" Husna was confused.

"So, you don't know yet?"

Husna shook his head.

"Then, just read it yourself!" Ketus Aryo's.

Husna immediately read the contents of the letter, as well as Aryo, both eyes of Husna seemed so wide-eyed when he knew the facts that were very surprising. Namely the fact that his favorite daughter was accepted to study at a campus that was very far from where they lived.

"Ti,, no, this is impossible, this must have been a misdeliver."

"Submit what?! Didn't you read the name of the recipient?! Melati Utari!" Answer Aryo.

Husna without saying anything more, immediately rushed into his house, to come to Melati who was studying in her room at the time.

"Darken!" Call Husna.

Melati turned her head and slowly closed her book.

"What's wrong mom?" Ask as if nothing happened.

"What's this?" Husna asked with an unusual look.

Melati also grabbed the letter and immediately read it, in contrast to Aryo and Husna who seemed so shocked and shocked, Melati actually immediately jumped in joy in front of Husna who at that time felt very sad until both eyes began to glaze over.

"Yeahy! I passed the path of achievement, thank God thank you," said Melati who kept jumping up and down in excitement.

While Husna, at that time he still looks silent and even stunned to look at his son who looks so happy.

"Darken!!" Snarl Husna then.

Melati was startled and spontaneously fell silent, yes, her whole life, it was the first time Husna had snapped at her.

"Mom yelled at me?!" Melati asked unexpectedly.

"Don't discuss anything else, now let's answer what the letter means?!" Ask Husna in a high tone.

Husna seemed so shocked, not that she was not happy to see her daughter graduate to go to college, but this was more to her feelings of being completely unprepared to be away from Melati, her beloved daughter.

"Have you really enrolled there?!" Husna's eyes began to glare at Melati.

Melati also nodded slowly while starting to lower her head.

"You could have signed up without my consent, not even told me at all!! What's on your mind, Melati, why would you dare to take such a step by yourself?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I'm afraid if I say this before I sign up, I'm sure you won't agree and you'll ban me. That's why I registered secretly online and intended to tell mom after I received this announcement" explained Melati who kept her head down.

Husna was silent, now his tears began to drip on both cheeks, he was disappointed, the child he had loved, he guarded, and he was united, acting as if he did not need himself anymore.

"Do you know the distance from this village to the city is very far?" Ask Husna lirih.

Melati.

"That way, you'll be snoozing around town and not sleeping here for long enough."

Melati nodded back in confirming.

"You also know that if you really love you, you can't be far from you. Life in the city is so hard, what if something happens to you and mom is nowhere near you? How can you face everything alone, how can you be without a mother??" Husna cried even more as she revealed her heart.

"Mom, understand ma'am, I am no longer a child, ma'am, I am an adult and I have the right to decide my life. I want to study at the best campus and that's just in the city, in this village where there's a University. If there's even a border on the village, and it's also a small university."

Husna was just silent and kept crying, he was really not ready if Melati left.

"Mom, please support my wish, this is for my future too ma'am. I promise I'll be the kid that always prides me on, I promise you." Persuade Melati who began to grab both hands of her mother.

Husna also began to look pusar into Melati's face.

"But I can't get away from you, son, I can't calm down when I imagine you're living alone in town." Husna lirih.

"I promise I'll go home every college break, Mom, and I'm not alone there, because I'm with Nana, she's signed up there. After all, the University where I will be studying later is not an ordinary University, ma'am, it is the best University in the city and is very famous, mother would be even more proud if I studied there" Melati replied with a smile.

"really?" Husna asked as she began to wipe away her tears,

Melati widened her smile and nodded her head quickly.

...Seriate......
