In the Name of a Mate
Chapter 19: Born To Dream

For some people the value may not be important, even sometimes considered too ambitious if you want to get a perfect score. But isn't this about the meaning of effort? The effort to achieve what is desired. Value for some people is like a gift from the results of his efforts that are not in vain, and of course to create a happy smile from the closest people. But it does come back to yourself about the importance or not

"That grade gives you a lot of things, one of which you can get into any university you want" Bilal started following the steps of the girl who walked slowly towards the back garden

"What's important to me? I'm not going to go to school and in the end the girl is just going to be her husband's housemaid"

"Why is your mind that narrow?" Bilal asked in disbelief

"What's your motivation for getting good grades then? To do the exam well. If you don't care about your grades and your future, then why are you fighting for this test?" Bilal continued, he wanted to hear what answer the girl in front of him would give at this time

"Because I want to graduate from this school, that's all" Bela replied briefly and clearly

"That cannot be called the reason for such a high value. Don't you have dreams or dreams?" Ask Bilal again

"Why do you get caught up once in my personal business? This is my life and not yours!" Bela replied firmly, he was about to leave again but Bilal's next sentence stopped his steps

"All children are born to dream. They must have had a wonderful childhood dream when they saw adults working on their interests"

"You know what kind of person like you who lives at the expense of parents means the hardships of life?" There was a harsh tone from Bela's mouth, she looked back at the man who had met her twice without any incongruity

"Life isn't just about money, what makes you think it's like this?"

Bela shook her head to answer the man's question

"In fact, life is not as smooth as my childhood thoughts when dreaming, it turns out that the more age, the game of life is more clearly visible. It's not all about money, but everything needs money" she said

"Because that's why you should try to achieve it?"

"I lost the motivation to continue the dream, who would I be proud of, even if I got a perfect score?"

"For you and your parents, of course. Who else?"

"What old man? I've considered them non-existent" Bilal so considering since their meeting, the words of the girl in front of him at this time always showed great disappointment to his parents

"Why not do it for yourself?" Ask Bilal at last

"I knew this before you told me. I've thought about it first. But to get there is not an easy thing, I am well aware of how I am doing now. They even had to steal to survive. Let alone discussing college, how I asked if they were never even home, when he came home from work just angry and hit each other"

"Now there are many scholarships if you want to try, don't you think about that?"

"Even if it costs money at first?" Bilal was silent, because it was true. To follow OSEK and registration at the beginning of course requires a fee

"I can't steal..."

"Do you want to work at my dad's cafe?" Ask Bilal at the end. At least than by stealing he can get results from the lawful road

Bela was a little speechless, she looked at the man for a while then took a breath and turned her gaze in another direction

"Why do you want to help me?"

"Because I don't want many people to think as narrowly as you think" Bilal replied as he was

"The world is cruel, everyone knows that. Life is full of mirages that look beautiful but in fact not like that, everyone also clearly knows it. But some succumbed to the cruelty of the world and were affected by its pseudo-beauty"

"You understand what I mean, right? You just have to choose to give up and get dragged or fight and stand firmly on your own feet"

"God made this world cruel that you might draw near and ask him. God only wants you to hope for him, not for a deceitful world. God is jealous. She's where you complain that if there's no one you can trust, she's that close, but we're sometimes away on our own. You feel alone, right? But you forget that God is always with you" continued Bilal, he looked at Bela who was silent thinking of something

"I just offer, the choice remains in your hands" Bilal said. He was preparing to leave because he had to pick up Layla at his school too, his sister did not bring a motorbike because of the sudden strike

"Wait, where's your dad's cafe?" Bilal smiled faintly, he wished the girl thought about his words

"Meet me at the patrol station yesterday tomorrow week if you're interested, the location is close to there. I can help you" he said before leaving

Bela was speechless staring at the man's departure, she took a deep breath and put her head up.

"Have I gone too far from you until my trials were this heavy, O God?. In my blood flowed the filthy blood of the illicit money I was forced to use to survive, could this filthy body be close to you who is almighty?"
