Honey, Are You Sorry??
Episode 2 "I chose to work "

After Graduating High School I feel like a new person, new here in the sense of "resignment".why resigned??? because MONEY is so important for me to find right now, not to spend it on college but to survive and help my parents' economy.

it just so happened that my two brothers were still in college, so they couldn't make money. My father still kekeh told my brother to continue his studies because they are the pride of my Father, a clear proof of the success of the father in educating children.even though I, his last son was not as lucky as my two brothers.

" i'm sorry La, I don't seem to be able to finance your college.because the situation of the Father who has been like this. is not as strong as before in making a living...your income is now just enough to finance both my brother's college and our meals a day - day, you can no longer find extra money like La used to" my father said with a very sad face.

" Sheila knows sir.this is not what you want. After all Sheila is okay - what if you do not continue to college..hehehe" I replied with a smile, trying to look strong in front of the Father, even though in my heart crying. My dream of becoming a French translator had to die.

FLASHBACKS

*Either why I so admire the country of France.initially when I was a child I like to join \-follow the Father watching the ball. precisely the time is going on the world cup.Every night Dad always standby in front of the TV.

then I asked "What are you watching?? like a lot of fun??" I asked who was 12 at the time.

" l... football world cup, you know football???" answer Father teasing me.

" know dong sir...who played ball kicked \-kick that right???" polo answer.

suddenly you laughed at my innocent answer. while rubbing my hair Father said "smart yes son Father...sini want to watch not?? exclaim loh.." invite father.

without refusing to let me sit next to you watching the match between France and Germany at that time. And somehow the game seemed so exciting and fun, I was very interested to continue watching, until I forgot that the clock was late and Dad told me to sleep.

since then France with its rooster logo caught my attention, I began to often collect newspapers - the newspaper of Mr.'s subscription containing the profile of the French team players or news - news about the team. then when growing up I began to often search about anything that smells French, whether the country is famous for romantic with the Eiffel Tower is so phenomenal, its traditions, the habits of people, to the style of 'kiss' his that so hits HAHAHA*.

after your apology for not being able to pay for my college.I decided to ask permission to you want to find work, so that you can save for later can pay for my own college, at first you forbid because you feel guilty but I tried hard to convince him and finally you allow.

" if you really want to work, you must be able to take care of yourself, La.you must focus on your goals what you want to work for. lest you do not even reach your goals, that will make you regret it because you are young, and the money can dazzle the eyes.always do your best for your future, because you are the key holder of your success..." said Father trying to advise me.

I understand why you say so, which is clear you must have eaten a lot of sour salt life, so you know very well what the cruel world outside. You are only trying to fortify myself so that you can be more vigilant and not follow the flow of negative and misleading.

Today I was planning to apply for a job, I had already asked \-question about the job to my relatives and neighbors.and I got info about the vacancy at one of the fast food restaurants. I don't know why I feel so nervous, oh yeah of course, it's a big transition in my life, where I used to be a student who only learned and studied and now I want to apply for a job to make a living, of course it makes me nervous, moreover, I have absolutely no idea how the world works.

" wow you are so beautiful La.." praise Mama who seems so stunned to see my face that uses makeup.ah I became add PD if this, I said in my heart.

" the spirit yes dear ngelamar his work...Mama doain you are accepted, amen" said Mama while kissing my forehead, then I leave because my ojol has come. "bye Ma.." I shouted.

**SHEILA*****RASTY PREDIPT**....

my name was finally called. ahhh.my eyes are getting deg \\-degan, my hands are very cold but I try as hard as I can to look good \\- fine, just fine, there's no way I'm making a bad first impression.

" lunch sir." I said as I opened the door, not forgetting to spread my smile.

" day..please sit.." pointing at the chair in front of him.

" your name is Sheila Rasty Pradipta huh???" continues asking.

" yes sir my nickname is Sheila." I replied.

" my name is Anthony, you can call me Tony.." and Mr. Tony continued the job interview session like how it should be. And even the good news I received, I ACCEPTED the job. Oh my God I'm so grateful, the shadow of me getting money every month is already ringing in my mind. At least, my life could be a little better.I can save for my tuition later, I thought.

I will be in training for 1 month wearing a black and white uniform, only after that I will be given a uniform.

next month I will have my own income, the greatest achievement of my life all this time.phases that were unimaginable to me before. With all the events that occurred, I was even forced to be strong, I was forced to be strong, he said, although I do not really understand the bitterness of the world.all this is like a door to a new world that makes my feelings nano \-nano, between curious, afraid, excited and challenged. I hope this is a good start for me.
