Good luck with my work
Grace Princess Hadisasono was born from a simple family even to eat is still difficult. His father was just a bus scalper at Terminal Tertonadi whose income was erratic. While his mother was only a farm worker who did not get a job every day. If the time of the planting season then he will work as a worker to plant seedlings. If the harvest season, the profession changed to a rice barley winnow behind the threshers.
Grace's father had indeed abandoned his gambling hobby but was still often drunk. That's what often makes him ashamed to have a drunk dad. Not infrequently the results of his work a day was used for his own pleasure. So do not be surprised if this family has difficulty meeting the needs of life.
Grace had not attended school for a year after graduating from Junior High because she was hit with a fee. That's actually his father did not want to send him to Junior High.
"Until you cry blood, I will not send you to Junior High. Enough to SD. The girl was at the end of the kitchen. No need to go to school." those were his father's words after he graduated Elementary.
Grace's mother couldn't do anything about her husband's decision. Can only be quiet. Because he himself was also never given the opportunity to go to school by his parents, especially his mother, Grace's grandmother.
"Here son... School is okay too. Sorry, I can't help. You know for yourself we're having financial difficulties. Let alone for school, to eat is still difficult. Just accept your father's decision" Grace's mother said to appease Grace.
"No... There's still hope. If so, I no longer want to worship. Let alone. I have to find money for school." murmured Grace.
Grace, actually a very good boy. Even if the place is far away. He will still walk a journey of 6 km to his place of worship.
In the village is the season of sugarcane harvesting. Any person who can cut sugar cane about one inch in length as much as 100 pieces in a bundle is valued at Rp. 250;
When she heard that, Grace excitedly collected the piece of cane. Get 4 ikat. That is, Grace only gets Rp. 1,000 only.
"If you only get Rp. 1,000, where is it possible to pay for school? How to buy a uniform? yggggggg..... Why is my fate like this???" upset Grace laments her fate born to an incapable family.
Meanwhile her older brother could get a chance to continue school. Moreover, it can be entered in State School 1 which was then a favorite school.
"why am I treated differently? Why can't my sister go to school, can I? I really don't know your way of thinking." Grace protested inwardly
Until finally he was helped by a priest to continue to the level of Junior High. But after sitting in the second grade of Junior High, Grace decided to return to her home. I want to help my parents at home. Even though Grace lives with the Reverend who helps her, Grace's parents are still helping with school fees.
Grace's parents had to pay for her school. It is impossible to just drop out of school.
After graduating from Junior High, Grace decided not to attend school. Although he was disappointed that his ideals would definitely not be achieved. Grace wants to change her family's economy. Grace wants to succeed. But dashed hope.
"Grace, you want to work?" ask Grace's father.
"what's work?" answer Grace.
"Working as a Household Assistant... My friend needs..."
"Yes already.want dehhh" agrees Grace. "From home." continued Grace with no choice.
Grace works as a Household Assistant, a friend of her father's. His boss owns a shop in Terminal Tertonadi and his father Grace recognizes him. Grace took care of her employer's two young children. The big one is 9 years old and the small one is 4 years old.
As it turns out, life as a maid, is not comfortable even though the boss is a friend of his father.
Unbeknownst to her father, Grace's and her friends' clothes were placed in a small closet next to the porch. Sleeping on the floor without a bed.
Indeed, his employer is notoriously not good in the eyes of complex neighbors. Grace thought about getting out of the place and looking for another job.
1 Week later at Grace's house
"Well, how's Grace doing?" ask Grace's mom to her dad who just got home from work.
"He's fine. Don't worry. My employer is my friend." replied his father
"All right then.." said his mother.
"God, protect Grace, be Grace, and give strength to Grace." she cried in prayer.
Back to Grace
When her employer's store had no guards because her employees had resigned, Grace replaced her temporarily. But because of Grace's intelligence, only a few days could she memorize the prices. Grace was transferred to the store.
"Grace, from tomorrow you move in the store ya.." orders the boss.
"Ready boss!" he replied with relief that he no longer took care of the children. Because those kids are tough too. Fight it. So Grace is happy to be moved despite sometimes having to get Sif at night.
However, an unpleasant incident occurred due to a misunderstanding. Grace was slapped by her employer in front of her father. His father was angry too. Grace is his favorite child.
"Grace, grab all your clothes and go home. Don't work here anymore!" father's orders.
Grace only lasted for one month. He also became unemployed. Bored. Confused because there is no activity. There are activities only when the neighbor has a celebration. As a youth member, automatically get involved in it.
After some time at home, she got an offer to work in Surabaya to be a Household Assistant at her cousin's house. Because he had never been to Surabaya, his other cousin drove him because his brother also worked there as a Household Assistant as well.
"Grace, even if in Surabaya with you, you must still work well. Take care of yourself because Surabaya is far away. Keep association. Don't embarrass the family. Maybe we rarely communicate." Grace's mother advised.
"Yes mother... Don't worry." said with a sweet smile and a hug.
"Don't forget to pray always." Imbuh Mother
Grace nodded her head to answer her mother's concerns.
Grace also departed among Grace's older cousins using a bus headed Solo-Surabaya.
While in Surabaya, he got the task to take care of the children and clean up.
Day after day he went through. Likes and sorrows go through. Although working at his brother's place but still must be consistent. Wake up on time. Work must be clean. Can't just go out of the house. The feeding and drinking schedule of the child's milk should be appropriate and timely.
All is not as expected. The Rice cooker button is broken. Ironing clothes. The child is fussy even though he himself makes the child fussy because of his fussiness.
Being scolded, satirized, depressed was already his food. Sometimes he vents his frustration at his young son with his bullies. Well, for entertainment too.
During her work with her cousin, she also never got word from her parents because Grace did not have HP.
Occasionally her older cousin who is both a Household Assistant invites to go out and introduce her to her friends.
"Out yuk... Invited the same kid alley ahead streets to the mall." invite his cousin
"But who asked permission?" answer it while grinning.
"yes" answered his cousin
They went out to Tunjungan Plaza by taxi. Eventually they met and met.
"Adi"
"Grace" shook hands with his sense of embarrassment. The first look was less effective for Grace.
They went around the Mall until 21:00, finally coming home.
After the meeting, Grace gets a greeting from Adi
"Grace, greetings from Adi." chirped Yuni, his cousin
"How much tie?" answer it lazily
"ihhhh" Yuni's grin
"She's what" sewot Grace
"That's a greeting from Adi."
"Lazy" Grace replied as she turned her face
From the outside of the window, Adi looked to her friends as instructions told her later tonight to call by showing the thumb and pinky fingers opened while the index finger, middle finger and ring finger folded the command mark to receive the phone.
"Grace, get that phone call later malem.." Yuni ordered.
"Malesss ahh.... Mending me watch TV. Nice show. Korean drama just came out. The man is handsome like an angel descending from heaven." - Funny.
"Dasaaar" yuni
Grace is still hoping to continue school. She prayed for the chance to go to school again.
"But this has already closed school registration where it might be able to enter this year. Yes next year? Did it take 2 years? What is really, is this brain still able to function properly to remember mathematical formulas?" murmured Grace with her despair. Disappointed, of course, when he saw the school children had begun to crowded through his place of work. There was no feeling the crystal grains began to fall on his cheeks.
"When God can I make my dream come true to school again??" he murmured inwardly while watching the school children passing by in front of his place of work.
"If I had a rich family. Had my father not sold his land for gambling. If my father hadn't been drunk. If my father had a decent job, of course I wouldn't be like this." he continued, hoping there was hope.
And the crystal grains kept dripping down his cheeks.
Suddenly there was a leg start coming towards him. As quickly as possible, Grace wiped her tears. He did not want others to see his sadness.
"Doooooorrrrrrr !!!!!! Late morning. Watch out for the devil." chirped Yuni
"yes, it's you..." Answer with ngasal.
"Work.work..."
"iya ahhhhh... Bawel really have a cousin." he added with a little annoyance.
"Mba, after the show at your house. I plan on not coming back here again" he said as he turned towards Yuni.
"Have you thought carefully?"
Grace replied, nodding her head slowly.
"Yes if that's your decision." Yuni continued.
After 3 months of work, Grace decided to return to her village with no hope of continuing school. He also did not know what to do while at home. Had to be betrothed by his parents with a young man who has a large land. But Grace refused.
"Until that person comes, I run away from home... I don't care. Even a small child was also asked to marry like a behavior." murmured Grace who still had a glimmer of hope that she could still continue school.
Grace was also briefly favored by a young man from another village but Grace refused. First, because of different beliefs. Second, because he smokes.
Not a spiritual or holy-sentence. Grace does have her own criteria when it comes to her future. Grace continues to keep her commitment and her future is long
"I still have a chance at school. I want to enjoy my teenage years with school. No one can take away my future." continued Grace, who gave her spirit to herself.
After a few days at home, the Reverend, who had helped Grace during Junior High, again offered Grace an offer to continue school again.
"Grace, you want to go to school again?" Ask Reverend.
"Yes sir... I want. But is this closing school registration, sir?" Grace Sahut
" There's a hostel, but there's a C package program. You want?" Obviously priest.
"That's so good sir!!!" grace answered excitedly even though she didn't know what the Package C program was.
"Dad can't cost you. If you want to go ahead please but I don't have any money to charge!!!" saute Grace's father with a ketusnya.
"Quiet sir. There is no charge. So you don't have to worry... Okay Grace you're ready. Monday morning I will take you to register. I'll pick you up at 07:00 in the morning. No need to bring a lot of clothes. Once a week you can still go home on weekends."
"Good sir. Thank you very much sir." he replied enthusiastically.
"Either. Saturday you can go home and come back to the dormitory on Monday. There are rules to be obeyed" the pastor said with a smile
"Finally able to go to school again. yes.. yes... yes... hore.... hore" he murmured while showing a happy expression and jumping up and down.
His mother who saw only shook her head to see the behavior of her youngest child.
"Grace.. When you're in the dorm, you take good care of yourself. Do not be easily influenced by men. Keep your honor as a woman. Don't disappoint mom. Learn what you really want." advice Grace's mother
"Yes mother." she replied with a hug.
"Come, pack your things." added his mother
Grace also obeyed her mother's order to pack her things.
His father and mother Grace was forced to let go of Grace without worrying because the pastor had explained that there are strict rules especially regarding the association of the opposite sex. The boys and girls dormitory is separated. So there's nothing to worry about.
*God gives tests according to their respective portions. Try to face the test and conquer it. Don't dodge. Because exams are not avoided but faced. God gave His way so you could get through it and you could finally say, yes!!! i can!!!*
