When I Should Choose
Chapter 1 The Holy Confusion
Holy is born of ordinary parents. His father owned a chicken noodle food stall and his mother always faithfully helped his father sell. With a chicken noodle gorobak in front of his house, their family can live well. Enough to eat daily and support his three children.
Holy has one brother and one sister. Her brother, 23-year-old Heidy, was very painstaking in taking care of her. Since graduating from college and got a job he often bought skincare to take care of his face. And inversely proportional to his somewhat tomboyish sister who is still sitting in the 1st grade High School. Although tomboy, Holy's sister named Sesy can be said to be very beautiful. His eyebrows were thick and neat as well as his eyes were round, all of which were genuine from birth.
While Holy? hmm.. arguably he is the second child who is very freeing himself in expression. She is a girl with a strong curiosity. If she was curious about one thing then she would ask until she found an answer that satisfied her heart.
This 18-year-old girl has an ordinary face that nothing can be highlighted. His eyes are round but not perfectly round, his nose can not be said to be sharp or can not be said to be pug, and the eyebrows are a little seen although less neat. But of all that the most visible thing about him is his confidence.
All of his stories began at High School graduation, Holy experienced confusion that made him very confused and confused. He must determine whether to continue his education in college or not. His parents who only rely on chicken noodle stalls convince Holy that they can afford to pay for his college, while Holy does not want to burden his parents. He had the thought of making his own business and had his own income.
The chicken noodle stall named "Yumyum Chicken Mi" is arguably quite rame every day there are those who eat there especially if it is lunch hour. The students and employees around his house will come to meet all the seats provided. From there, Holy's parents convinced Holy not to hesitate to continue his education in college.
"Dad, what would I get if I went to college?" holy asked his father as they were enjoying dinner.
"Of course you can get a lot of knowledge. You can choose what knowledge you want to get, for example you want to find knowledge to make a house can enter the architect, you want to make clothes can enter fashion design, for example, or you want to make a fuss you can get into politics" replied the father seriously although at the end he chuckled.
"Ah Dad mostly watch the news that every day is political," said the mother while pouring drinking water in a glass Sesy.
"Hmm if sister why enter Indonesian literature?" Holy raised the question of his brother who had finished his meal but still cool photos on his smartphone.
"Liar can make a good status and caption on facebook and instagram so that later paid the same Mark Zuckerberg hihihi." replied Heidy with flirtatious.
"Sih your dream." interrupted Sesy who was still busy with her food. And Heidy glared at his last brother.
Holy is still in confusion. He has ideals but his ideals only want to be able to make money on their own, but do not know in what way.

The next day on Holy Sunday began the day by getting ready to go to his friend's house which was not far from his house only about 500 meters. Name's Artyo. The most famous guy in his High School who is also the former chairman of OSIS. He was not so handsome, but he had such charisma that many women admired him. But not with Holy, they are just friends from childhood, they often play together, even since Kindergarten to High School they are always one school.
Holy came to Artyo's house, greeting Mother Artyo's father who was in front of the house with a cheerful smile and a raised right hand. "Hello Om Aunty, what are you doing?" the trite talk he often says even though he has seen what his interlocutor is doing.
"It's another chili seed, Ly," replied Artyo's mother.
"Hayo you want to help here?" artyo's father said while thrusting his hoe.
"Hahaha.enggak Om I nanem chilli-cabean aja later," replied Holy and immediately fled into the house and headed to Artyo's room.
Arriving in front of Artyo's room, Holy immediately entered and surprised Artyo who was cool to notice his cupfish that danced like a model in the animal world.
"What the hell Ly, you disrupt my quality time with Beti aja," said Artyo with a ketus.
"Tyo you have to help me right now! Should I go to college or work or make my own business? I'm really confused. You're good to have dreams of becoming a doctor and I'm sure you can come in because you're a pinter and your parents can afford it, too," holy said with a quick talk while taking a sitting position on Artyo's empty bed. "If I'm really mediocre, none of my school grades are really high and I like them. Most yes the history lesson was just like the story when told ngafalin ya can not."
"Holy try to slowly say yes... It's time to enroll in a public university for another week, but that doesn't mean you have to be stressed and rushed, think slowly. In six days you can survey what will make you excited about life."
Holy speechless.
"What excites me in life? I get excited when I wear clothes that match from toe to head. I get excited when I see others confident. I get excited when people thank me. Everything that makes me excited can it produce for me?" holy thoughts drifted into the middle of nowhere.
"What if these six remaining days you use to find the answer to your question? I'm your friend ready to help you." Artyo reassures Holy that he is ready to help her. Artyo himself has completed all his requirements and enrollment in the medical faculty at one of the top universities in their city. He was waiting for the next announcement.
Holy looked at Artyo in awe, he felt greatly helped by his suggestions.
They both plan everything to do tomorrow.
