When I Should Choose
Chapter 5 Determination
"DO NOT BE DISTURBED BY PEOPLE IN MEDITATION"
The inscription was stamped in front of the Holy room. Posts written with red markers on used calendar paper are reversed. I don't know what Holy's gonna do in his room. Heidy and Sesy who were intending to enter the Holy room were canceled because of the writing.
From afternoon until night Holy stayed in the room, he just went out to the bathroom and took food. Until finally it was getting night.
Tok.dok...
Sesy knocked on the door of Holy's room.
"Disturb me!!!" holy screams from the room.
Tok.dok...
Sesy was still knocking on the door.
"Woy can read no, I'm meditating!!!" shout Holy again with a higher tone.
"Woy Holy Brother I'm going to get a pillow!" shouted Sesy who was already emotional because from earlier he knocked on the room patiently but not opened as well.
Sesy as the youngest child in the house was indeed very sorry because he did not get his own room. Their house had only three rooms which resulted in Sesy having to sleep in either Heidy or Holy's room. And because Sesy often quarreled with her first brother, then Sesy preferred to sleep with Holy.
"I'm going to get a pillow to sleep in Brother Heidy's room" she cried again.
The door of the room is open. Holy gave a pillow and bolster to Sesy.
"Hehe's sorry Dek, I thought you'd bother me. I forgot that you need to sleep. Hehe," said Holy with a cry.
"Huu.. again think of a guy, to the extent that his own adek is eliminated," said Sesy with a probing tone.
"Ee.ng. I again think of a future that determines my life and death." said Holy with some hesitation. "You there, sleep well with Brother Heidy" said Holy again as he closed the door and locked it.

Holy picked up a notebook and a pen. He wanted to write down what he thought. But, fifteen minutes he passed by without writing anything. Until finally because of his dead-end brain he began to draw, he drew patterns of clothes that were in trend. His instincts were like telling him to draw it.
Starting from drawing dresses, blazers, and shirts. It didn't take long to draw those three patterns. Although still not neat, but he was happy because he felt he had the ability that he could do.
Now Holy made his choice to take a major related to fashion. From the age of 5 to 12 years he does like to draw and when entering Junior High School and High School he often helps his aunt who has a sewing service business.
Sometimes if it has entered a new semester and is approaching the Christmas and Lebaran holidays, the order that must be sewn will be very piled up. Then the aunt will ask for help from her nieces, especially the niece who is a girl.
Of the three of them Holy was the most eager to help if the tantenya asked for help. Starting from measuring and cutting cloth, even sometimes the tantenya who told him to sew on the sewing machine, with supervision of course.
Holy made his heart to believe what he would choose. Whatever he decides today he must be held accountable to the end. He should be proud of both his parents. And Holy was determined to find a scholarship to ease the burden of his parents.

The next morning Holy woke up very excitedly he felt a freshness like no other. The burden of his mind is over. He began his day by cleaning the house to the stall.
"Dad I'm going to major in fashion," Holy said to his father who was chopping chives vigorously.
"Finally you can make a good choice, my son. Anyway Dad will always support you" said the father with a thumbs up.
"Thank you Mom, thank you Dad. Thanks to you I can choose," Holy reply by hugging her mother back.
"Thanks to Artyo too, right?" seductive mother. "these two days you'll always go both."
"Yes dong Artyo is one of my helpers in times of distress, hihi. Oiya today I'm permission to go again ma'am!"
"Where else are you going?" asked Sesy who accidentally heard the conversation of Holy and his mother when going to school. "The paths go on, I've never been taught" complained Sesy.
"Schoolers do school work, they can't walk. Blee," said Holy as he stuck out his tongue.
"Be careful if you can both often fall in love" said the girl who is experiencing a period of love and already understand the meaning of falling in love.
Holy only listened to Sesy's words without responding. "Know what the child is about falling in love. I'm older than she doesn't know anything about falling in love yet" Holy thought.
Of course it happened because all this time Holy was only close to one man, namely Artyo. Some of the men who approached him never served him. But all this time he had never felt any feelings for Artyo. Only recently have different feelings emerged for Artyo.
"Have I just entered puberty?" think Holy again.
"Hayo, what are you thinking?" mother said with a little surprise. "There's a shower, get ready she said she was leaving."
"Eh, yes Ma'am. Okay, I take a shower, yes" answered Holy and left.
***
At the house Artyo apparently was the arrival of guests. The guest who came from far away, who turned out to be his father's old friend. They come to visit while visiting. For almost 20 years they have not met, but they still often tell each other.
His father's friend, Tomo, came with his wife and daughter. Before coming to visit it turned out they had been walking around in the city for five days and they stayed in one of the five-star hotels. The two friends talked to each other very loudly. Remembering the bad times in High School.
Artyo and Om Tomo's father realized they had something in common, both of whom had only one child. They just laughed knowing that.
Om Tomo's daughter is one year older than Artyo. She has a beautiful face with long waist hair. It looks polite and friendly, because during at home Artyo he more silent and play his smartphone.

Artyo was preparing to pick up Holy, but was prevented by his mother.
"Don't go first huh, it's not good for your father's guests to come all the way from the other island" said the mother.
"Why do I have to do Ma'am, if there's a guest Dad?" ask Artyo.
"That's her age, you can have a conversation with her" said the mother in a slightly whispering voice.
Artyo also obeyed his mother's words. He immediately told Holy that he could not leave today because of a guest, via WA chat.
***
It turned out that his father's friend who came all the way from the opposite island had a purpose and purpose.
Was it?
