Trapped In Two Choices

Don't want to disappoint

That afternoon after school Tania went straight to the supermarket, where she worked half the time.

Tania should not work this hi because it has permission during the graduation exam, but Tania was reluctant to go home she wanted to go straight to work.

Once in front of the supermarket Tania met the owner of the supermarket which of course wonder why tania there.

"Tania, what are you doing?" Ask the middle-aged man.

"I want to work today sir" Tania replied politely.

"Aren't you still a permit today?" Ask her again.

"Yes sir, but today Tania has finished her exam sir, so can Tania come to work today?" Ask her.

"Of course you can" replied the supermarket owner with a smile.

Tania was right away, permission to enter the supermarket, Tania immediately changed clothes with her work clothes.

That day Tania looked glum, and became quiet, not knowing what she was thinking. Friends at work too many who wonder why with Tania.

But they did not dare to ask directly because Tania did not look like usual.

Especially when Tania was serious about serving customers, Tania was famous for being diligent in her work, she never used work time to talk or play around.

Time just kept turning, Did not feel the time has shown at six in the afternoon.

Tania prepares to go straight to the place of changing clothes, changing her clothes with her school uniform, Because Tania happens to not bring a change of clothes.

As usual Tania walked towards her home which was not far from where she worked.

Arriving at home, Tania had seen her mother who was sitting on an old bench in their home

Tania approached her mother and kissed her hand. While revealing her smile, that smile was indeed forced by Tania.

She didn't want her mother to know that she was thinking about something. But not a mother her name if not able to see something different from her daughter.

The mother who had wanted to ask Tania, but immediately canceled it. And invited Tania to come in and rest.

Tania went to her room, took a towel and went to the bathroom in the kitchen.

As usual they will have dinner together, because at home there is only Tania and her mother.

Both of them eat, want mom to open the conversation, but mom does not want to disturb Tania's dinner.

After eating and washing dishes, the two sat in front of the 14-inch television.

"Tania" call mom.

Tania also turned her gaze from the television screen.

"Does anyone want Tania to tell me about mom?" Ask her mother.

"No Ma'am" Tania replied lying.

"Honey, I've been taking care of Tania for 18 years, I know whatever changes Tania makes." Said mother.

Tania just smiled at her mother, and clasped her mother's old hand.

"How was the exam today?" Ask mom again.

"Everything is going well Mom, I pray that Tania can graduate with good grades, said Tania.

"Of course I always wish Tania all the best."

"Son!" Call mom.

"Yes buk." Answer Tania.

"Where's Tania's plan to go to college?" Ask mom again.

Tania does want to continue her studies, but Tania knows that the tuition fee is expensive, and it will definitely add a burden for her mother.

But if Tania tells mom that she wants to work and does not want to continue college, she will be disappointed.

It seems Tania no longer wants to see the mother slam bones, this work is for her school fees, let alone the condition of her elderly mother.

"Why Tania just shut up"

Mother's question breaks Tania's daydream.

"Mom" called Tania hesitating.

"What's up, son, story with mom" said mom.

"Mom don't be angry?"

"Of course not, just say !" Answer mother.

"Mom, what if Tania doesn't go to college, Tania wants to just work, Tania wants to help ease the burden on mom." Tania.

"Tania, if Tania really wants to lighten the burden of motherhood, you have to go to college, achieve your goals of becoming a lecturer." Answer the mother with teary eyes.

"But Ma'am, Tania doesn't want her to push a bone anymore to make Tania's dream come true." Answer Tania.

Tania can no longer stem her tears, because indeed since from school she was restless thinking about the continuation of her school.

Tania hugs her mother, the only place she leans, a storytelling place, a tough woman who has been a mother and also a father for her.

Her taste, if only Tania could want to replace her mother to make a living in her old age.

But Tania does not want to disappoint her mother, who may be very hopeful that she can become a lecturer, as her dream so far.

But Tania thought, will she be able to ? Because college costs a lot, his mother is just a cake seller, and he is just a part-time worker.

But what could he do if later he had gone to college, various things were thought by Tania at that time, but he could not reveal it to his mother

It was only the sobbing of Tania that sounded, it might be difficult for people to understand with her sadness, but this was the overflow of feeling that existed within Tania.

"Tania, as long as Tania still wants to learn, and I'm still alive, believe me son, I'll do anything for Tania." Say mother.

His voice rattled, Because he held back the cry, he did not want to look weak in front of his beloved daughter.

" Daughter, find a campus that can realize your ideals." Say mother again.

Tania let go of her embrace, looked into her mother's eyes, old eyes that had been sleep deprived for her sake, eyes that might shed tears for her happiness.

Tania put both her hands, on both of her mother's wrinkled cheeks, looking at those two eyes.

"Mother, Tania promised to work hard, study diligently to realize all these dreams" Tania said.

Tears escaped immediately on the mother's cheeks, as did Tania, as if her hands were shaking.

"Tania won't disappoint mom, Tania will become a lecturer, Mom, and make mom happy." Said Tania again.

Tania hugged her mother tightly, in her heart she really promised to strive to realize all her dreams and make her mother happy.

"Son, no matter what happens to college until it's over, I'll be happy if you can succeed son." Say mother.

The two also dissolve in sadness, maybe after this Tania's mother will work even harder to collect tuition fees for Tania.

There is no harm in working hard for the happiness of her child, that is what Tania's mother thought at that time,

But will there be a way for Tania to enter the faculty, while the entrance fee of the faculty is very expensive?

Or will Tania promise to her mother only to keep a promise?
