THAT TASTE EXISTS

EPISODE 8 ACCEPTS REALITY

As you know, now I live with papi Ricky and mami Heni, in their house.

My parents' house was rented, the rent was the same and the mami was saved on my behalf. For my future needs, they said.

All the necessities and expenses of my life, papi the same mami who is responsible, because they say I am his son, so they are responsible for all my needs.

Praise God, I am so grateful to have parents as they are, who are so kind and treat me like their own child.

I've been able to accept the reality, losing both my parents. I don't want to fall into sadness. I have to be strong, I have to be strong. My life has to mean. Like I promised my parents, I want to make them proud.

The school gave me permission to follow up. The opportunity I was given was not wasted. I studied hard and hard. I gave up all my skills in working on unas matters.

Maximum effort will get satisfactory results. I graduated High School with the highest grades. Some of the top universities in Surabaya offered me merit scholarships. I am still confused about making a choice.

"Van... Have you decided where you want to go to college?", asked Mami Heni.

"Vania's still thinking, mi. Which university offer, huh? ", i asked back.

"What did you take the major for? economy?", asked mami again

I nodded, "Yes, mi".

"Try browsing to find out. You can compare the advantages of one university with another, especially for the majors you want. All who offer scholarships to you are universities that already have names and favorites, so mami sure everything is good. Where are you left, where is it", my mom gave me input.

During college, there were some guys in class or upperclassmen who tried to approach me, but I refused subtly. So if until now I am still alone, it is not because I do not sell yes ! he he he....

I rejected them because I didn't want to date. I want to focus on college because I want to finish my education quickly. I want to be able to work quickly, so as not to burden Papi Ricky again, although papi never objected.

Months and years, without feeling 8 semesters had passed, I graduated from college, got a Bachelor of Economics and I graduated cumlaude.

There is a sense of pleasure and relief, because I can achieve the goals I want. Thank God all this could happen because you intervened in my life.

Papi and Mami attended my graduation. I could see her rubbing water a few times in the corner of her eye. I could see Papi smiling with foggy eyes. There was joy in my heart, my adoptive parents were moved by my success, and they truly loved me.

After the graduation ceremony I invited papi sama mami to visit my parents' grave.

Arriving at my parents' tomb, I knelt and prayed, not to forget I also told the story, "Pa, ma, today Vania graduated, Vania already has a degree in economics, Vania graduated cumlaude lo.... This is also thanks to papi sama mami who always supports Vania, they love Vania as much as papa and mama. Pray for Vania yes. I love you so much pa, ma....I miss you ..", I kissed my parents' gravestones with wet eyes.

"Papa mama you up there must be smiling proudly, dear.just as we are proud of you, son', the gentle voice and embrace of mami Heni gave me peace.

"Great papi boy, papi boy must be strong. The spirit yes, dear. ", said papi Ricky as he hugged and kissed me on my forehead.
