My name is Avita, I have just turned 18, and I am in grade 3 at Permata Asih High School. I am known as a model student because of my intelligence in class and in school. I have a dream to continue my studies in Germany and become a reliable architecture graduate. But everything was shattered after I overheard my parents' conversation that night. Yes, they thought I had slept that night, but I overheard their conversation when I wanted to go to the restroom, and they both didn't realize that I had heard everything they were talking about.
Instantly lightning seemed to strike me. My heart was very hurt, and I could not contain my emotions. I ran to my room while tears kept running down my cheeks. My dream for 3 years to make it come true seems to have no hope anymore. Then, why am I studying all this time if, in the end, I'll be matched with someone I don't even know at all." No, I can't continue to be sad like this. I have to be strong, and I'm sure Vivi, you can definitely go through all this well. You still have hope and shouldn't give up just because you hear the matchmaking that mom and dad are talking about. Pretend you've never heard of it, and it's just a bad dream for you.
No, Vivi, you still have one dependent and can't give up so soon. I have received the application form for a scholarship to study in Germany from the principal, and I can't just ignore it. I will make all my dreams come true. I believe I can do it. No matter what happens in the future but I will never give up. I will study in Germany and become a graduate of excellent architecture.
Another one of my dreams is to be able to study with him in Germany. Yes, he is a person I greatly admire, senior Rey. Reyhan Syahputra, a student of Mathematics and Natural Sciences class XII - A, a student council president, managed to attract my heart at that time. On the first day of MOS, I got lost in a class that was none other than his class. He asked me what I was doing in his class, and then I confessed that I got lost trying to find another class for my first Student Orientation. Unexpectedly, he was a student council president at that time and immediately showed me the real class.
I followed behind him, looking at his tall shoulders. Not only that, it turns out that he also participates in the same extracurricular as me, namely painting. Yes, unexpectedly, we have a similar talent that makes me admire him even more. He is also a model student in his class who has captured the hearts of many students with his charms. Day after day passed until it was time for his graduation announcement. I felt very sad at that time because I would lose the person who once filled my heart. However, at that time, he approached me and said that he wanted me to follow him to study in Germany to continue his hidden talent.
My heart seemed to stop beating at that time. What exactly did senior mean? Is he trying to come after me? Does he want to express his feelings to me through this message? I felt so confident at that time that I didn't think long about applying for a scholarship to study in Germany just to be with him to achieve our dream of becoming an architect. He once told me that when he taught me painting techniques. He dreamed of becoming a famous architect and then channelled his talent into painting so that his drawing skills continued to be honed.
Hearing his story made me even more excited that I could achieve my dream and walk with him to realize our dream of studying in Germany and becoming a famous architect graduate. He said one thing I will always remember when I was separated from graduation was that he would always wait for me to beat his drawing skills and compete with me to become a professional painter. He advised me not to give up on realizing my dreams. My life seemed to be lit up by his presence. Her gentle and kind figure has filled the void in my heart. It made me understand the true meaning of life.

General Ferdi, that's what I call every day. Receiving four stars on my shoulders, serving the country, and protecting this motherland is a great honour and pride that I have today. Leading combat troops, formulating military strategies and carrying out military operations have become my main meal.
One day after receiving a will from my grandfather, it was as if something had stuck in my heart and poisoned all my thoughts. I was betrothed to a young girl who was still in high school? Haha, that's ridiculous, isn't it? We are an age gap that should not be married, and you could say matchmaking with uncle later. I don't even know the girl, never even met, then how can we get married?
But the will that grandfather gave to the family is inviolable. Whether you want it or not, you must continue to carry out his mandate so that he can sleep peacefully by his side. Perhaps, this is indeed destined for me and at the same time to let go of my single life. Yes, you must wondering why I don't have a partner? I once had a person I loved very much, she was very beautiful, gentle, quiet, and kind. To me, it was as if no other girl could match the perfection she had.
I fell in love with him at first sight when I visited a village on duty. I saw him treating a small child who was lying weak in a clinic. He took care of him with great care and compassion. He was also very friendly to all the villagers. there. Truly, an experience that can't be expressed in words being able to serve in the same place as him at that time.
After trying hard to get to know her, I began to slowly pursue her heart until she accepted my proposal. Really, it's a special happiness for me to be accepted by the girl I like. Everyone will feel happy right? If they can live together with people they love? Yes, that's how I felt at that time. Really, the world seems to belong to only the two of us.
After that, we got engaged but it seemed that fate didn't want to unite the two of us. On the way to the engagement building, he was called by the Almighty to accompany him by his side. Really, my heart was broken, hurt, disappointed, and full of emotions when I really, really want to blame my bad fate at that time. Why? Why can't I live a happy life in peace with the person I love? Instead I became the cause of his death? Yes, that's what I thought at that time. heard of his passing for good.
What made me most unwilling and resentful of my destiny was that at the time of the accident he was the only one who died while his parents and other relatives who were in the car at that time were still in good health. Truly, fate wanted to play a game with the person I love the most. I feel very hopeless, feel like I've lost something so precious after I worked so hard to get it.
After that incident, I was hit by endless sadness every day. From that moment on, I didn't want to know women anymore. I just focused on my work until I forgot one thing: at my very mature age, it's time to have a family—a happy little girl. But my heart is still very sad, and I can't accept a new person in my life. I still can't forget her presence which brings my life full of joy and laughter from her.
