That night, Vienna sat in her room with her eyes glued to her computer screen. The sound of his heart pounding so hard that he could feel it in the middle of his chest. It's a highly anticipated night, a high school graduation announcement night, and Vienna is nervous about mixed feelings.

Along with her fingers typing on the keyboard, Vienna remembered the entire journey she had gone through during her three years in High School. He recalls his hard struggle to achieve good academic achievement, committed to his spiritual journey, and maintaining a balance between the two. It was not an easy journey, but it was a journey that made him develop into a better individual.

Vienna also thought about the support she received from her family. His parents were always by his side, supportive and encouraging. They understood the importance of her spiritual journey and supported her decision to wear the hijab. Those were the moments in which Vienna felt grateful for her family full of love and understanding.

In the group chat room of his friends, all the High School students from his school were also waiting for the announcement with enthusiasm. They give each other moral support and talk about their plans if accepted at a college of their choice. Vienna loves how they all feel like one family, supporting each other in these important moments.

Finally, the announcement arrived. Vienna held its breath and clicked on the link that led to the list of accepted names. His heart beat faster as he rolled the page quickly, searching for his full name. And then, there it was, among the list of accepted names, clearly visible: "Wina Pratiwi."

"Alhamdulillah" whispered Vienna with a trembling voice. Happy tears instantly slid down her cheeks, and she felt a deep sense of gratitude in her heart. He immediately sent a message to his family in the next room, informing them of his graduation.

Within minutes, Viennese mother and father walked into the room with beaming faces. They embraced it affectionately, and Vienna felt the warmth in their arms. "We're so proud of you, baby," his mother said, gently wiping away Vienna's tears.

"Now you will start a new chapter in your life" said his father, smiling widely. "And we will always support you."

At that very moment, Vienna's phone rang. His friends sent him congratulatory messages, and their chat group was full of happy emoticons and congratulations. Vienna was moved by the support of her friends.

Vienna then went back to her computer to see more about the course of study she was going to attend in college. He felt inspired and enthusiastic to start a new chapter in his life. Although the feeling of nervousness was still there, he knew that he had passed this test well, and it was the beginning of an exciting and hopeful journey.

After sharing the news of his graduation, Vienna left his computer and headed for the living room. Her parents, Ibu Siti and Dad Ahmad, sat on the sofa waiting with great anticipation. They could see the bright face of Vienna, and they knew that there was good news to be shared.

"Sister, how are you?" ahmad's father asked with a friendly smile as Vienna entered the room.

Vienna smiled widely and nodded. "Dad, Mother, I have to tell you something very important."

"What is it?" ask Mother Siti with sparkling eyes.

Vienna sat near them, her feelings still palpitating. "I was accepted to a top college, Dad, Mom. I succeeded."

There are no words that can describe the expression of happiness on the faces of Mother Siti and Father Ahmad. They embraced Vienna tightly and congratulated her sincerely. "Alhamdulillah," said Ibu Siti with a haru voice. "We're so proud of you, son."

"We know that you have worked hard for this" Ahmad's father added. "This is the result of your effort and dedication."

He opened the first message and a smile fell on his face as he read the words of congratulations from Amira, his best friend since childhood. The message read, "Congratulations, Win! I know you'll make it. We'll miss you at school!"

Vienna immediately replied to Amira's message, "Thank you, Mira! I will miss you all too. Let's plan a meeting before I go to college."

Then, he continued reading messages from his other friends. Every message radiates happiness and support. Some friends even sent them celebration emojis and photos of their time together in the past.

Vienna smiled and replied to Rizky's message, "Thank you, Rizky! I hope we can meet in college."

Meanwhile, their usually crowded chat groups are becoming increasingly lively. Their High School friends begin to talk about their respective plans. Some will go on to study at the same college, while others will split up to pursue their dreams.
