"Where are you going to college, Yu?"
I took a deep breath hearing the question. This is the hardest choice I have to face. Although I have a side job but it is not always all my wishes can be fulfilled.
Because this year if I stay determined to continue my education to a higher level, it means Zahra's education will be neglected.
My sister's age is almost four years old. Midwives in Posyandu often give my mother input so that Zahra is included in an extraordinary school. Because children with special needs are required to get more attention from the surrounding environment must also be supported by adequate education.
"Dark! Even nagging," said Risty who nudged my arm.
"I don't think I'm going to go to college" I replied, looking at him for a glance.
"When it's a pity, your test scores alone are very satisfying," he said sighing.
I also smiled thinly. Want how else the situation that does not support, my mind.
"Where will you work?" ask the Princess.
I thought for a moment. "For a while I'll still be a partimer at the Kartika hotel. And I heard there was also a job opening, but I was lucky and could be one of the employees there," I explained with confidence and a smile, hiding the real sadness I was feeling.
Sad because our lives will soon be separated, of course, because of the busyness of each. Both of my best friends, Risty and Putri will continue their education to college while I work to earn money.

School education for children with special needs in fact is not cheap, now my savings money has been used for the admission fee. There is still a little but a little.
Because I often read articles related to what Zahra experienced. Behind the lack of a child with autism, they also have advantages of themselves. And I hope it's in Zahra, too.

I am now twenty years old, in accordance with my plan once I graduated from SMK, I just filled a job vacancy at the Kartika hotel.
It took me a lot of struggle to get into that hotel in contract status. Stages that must be passed so much, namely starting from the competency test, diligently entering without a hole of absence is also required to maintain the appearance to always look neat.
Perfectionist, that word I can describe. Because the more gradually Kartika hotel has leveled up to become a four-star hotel. And I heard that the head of power at the center has turned to Mr. Kevin, who knows his full name who I don't know.
I stared at myself in front of a mirror in the employee's locker room. I have now served as a room maid with the status of a contract employee.
I've been here for a year and a half, and I hope to change or increase in years I can move up the ranks to become something, which obviously let my salary get higher, able to buy this.
I now clucked a moment after turning my only lipstick on. Tandas, stay as authentic as the one attached to the deepest base.
I said, "Fate!" After throwing electricity just like that, to get into the garbage basket.
