"Emmm, ma'am, I'm sorry" said Marlina, lowering her head. She did not dare to tell her mother about her not going to college anymore.

"I'm sorry for what, what's wrong, son?" tanya Bu Harti looked worried.

"Mom, actually I'm not going to college anymore from today" explained Marlina without daring to look at her mother.

"God, why, son, is there a problem in your college?" ask Miss Harti surprised.

"The campus side asked for the administration that has not been paid for these 2 months Ma'am" Marlina explained.

"Sorry mother Lin, I know that you have not paid tuition, but I also do not know what to pay with" said Ms Harti sadly.

"Udah ma'am, it's okay. While I quit college first, later if we have a fortune I can continue to college again" said Marlina approached her mother.

"I'm sorry, son" said Ms. Harti.

"Mom doesn't have to apologize, I'm not wrong. Later I want to come to the market mom help mom sell, it can be" said Marlina.

"May son, thank you you for being a good boy" said Ms Harti and hugged her son.
