Chasing Dreams & Love
4. The End of School Examination
2 Weeks have passed today is the last day the national final exam is held. Ana seemed resigned to the results of her test later, because to be honest since the discussion with mama that night he was unable to sleep and lost focus on learning but as much as possible to keep learning he did not want 3 years in vain just to think about the thing is.
“Ma, sister depart first.” Ana shook her mother's hand a little forcefully.
“kak not having breakfast first? It's a pity already mama ready kok.” Mama caught up with him worried.
“nothing ma, later breakfast at school with Sinta and Widya aja. Departure yes ma assalaamu’alaykum.” Ana hurriedly closed the door of the house.
“iya wa’alaaykumussalam dear, be careful on the road yes son hope the test is smooth.” Shouted mama Ratna from inside.
*Pardon mom yes son, you know if you are selfish too impose your will. But I think Rama is a good boy, he can make you happy. And I hope you can be more open with the man who will be your husband. Mama is afraid that you are too indifferent to men and do not think about getting married - Mama Ratna
Not surprised by his son's attitude, Mama Ratna felt familiar with the change in the attitude of her daughter. How not if suddenly have not graduated from school has been offered to marry even then with a young man who is 5 years older with his son, who is, even mama herself realized that she felt a little forced to her will she knew full well Ana had never been in contact with any man. At the big family event was almost never greeting with a male cousin and it was also a concern of his own mother so stern desire to change the attitude of his son like that. Even so, my mother still often slipped a chat about her proposal in the hope that Ana would accept it as soon as possible, not wanting to disappoint her mother and Mr. Hermawan.

“Hei Na, kok still diem anyway today was the last test you should be seneng dong.” Sinta welcomes her in class.

I'm not ready yet to part with mama and adekku.” Ana answered quietly and without power any tears wet her cheeks. “Mama said before my papa died papa had promised with his best friend to marry his children later grown up, like being one of the wills of the late papa.” Ana cries as she hugs her two best friends. “Ma-where maybe I can refuse this one mother's request, while my mother never even once thought to marry again, te-of course I know mama still loves papa very much. W-can I refuse papa's promise to his friend? How would you feel if I let them down?.” Ana has trouble regulating her own breathing.

“Yes Na, you must be very lucky Na who does not know the Dawn of Ramadan? I have become a successful and famous businessman in Surabaya, right? His parents are mayor too, right? Wow... really amazing Na you are so lucky.” Sinta excited.
Plakkkp... Widya patted Sinta's shoulder hard.
“Aaan sih Sin, Ana again sad to know do not talk like that. Even if the candidate is a successful and famous person but if not ready to get married, then what to be proud of.” Widya hugged him back.
Sinta was silent for a moment feeling sorry for what she said just now. Sinta and Widya are only able to calm her best friend by hugging and giving her a clover, they know Ana just wants to pour out her heart. Removing his emotions that have even been a few weeks he held alone afraid of hurting his loved ones. Unknowingly Sinta and Widya get carried away in tears, feeling the sadness of her best friend who surely they know there is no way out for Ana other than to follow the will of her late father.
