With the earth turning so fast that time was not felt, a few months ago I entered the file on a radio station called Sahabat Radio Indonesia and today is the file selection day, he said, and thank God my file was received. Next are the skills and health tests I need to take.


I came to the radio studio where I tested. Once there, there were no people I knew. I sit in the middle. When my name was mentioned, I immediately headed to the front, where I was given a different test from the other registrants. I feel special even if it's just my feeling. I was given a test to talk in front like a TV presenter, I felt very confident with myself that I could because this was my ideal from the beginning.


With my confidence, I started talking like I was in front of a camera. Not a single piece of news I had ever conceptualized, but with confidence I was able to fabricate the news in such a sudden state.


After I was told to stop by the judges, the studio was very crowded with applause from the participants as well as other radio crues. I felt very proud, I gave a smile to everyone in the studio as a greeting to my shoes for their concern for me.


I went to my seat in the middle and the people _people beside me congratulated me for saying I was talented. I was so happy to get more praise and attention than I thought.


After the event was over, I was called by one of the crues from SRI. He invited me into a special room of broadcasters and presenters. In I was introduced to all the old broadcasters and also the main director of one of the private TV stations in Indonesia. I didn't expect me to be this lucky.


I was asked about my ideals and my last education, I told him that only a few months ago I became a bachelor of English education. She was so impressed with me, she offered me to be the new TV presenter at her station I'm happy to accept it, and starting next week I can come in the studio.


It turns out that the director of this private TV in collaboration with SRI (Sahabat Radio Indonesia) and the studio is adjacent.

My current job is very good in my opinion, all my family gives me very good support. I am very happy with my work, once again I come to meet the children of science seekers on campus and also at the Arfan seat.


This was the beginning of my success, indeed becoming an English scholar was my ideals from small but actually my main goal is to become a TV presenter.


I enjoy my job so much, my family always watches me on TV when I broadcast. Papa and mama in the village never miss my broadcast time, I always contact them when my schedule arrives because sometimes the schedule is changed. Likewise with my beloved brother_brother, Rifal brother, Reza brother and also my brother-in-law. They always watch my broadcasts, whether they are at home or in their respective offices and they always text when I broadcast. He was so proud to see me on TV, which is certainly seen by many people.


Apart from my extended family, lecturers_lecturers at the campus participated in watching me. This is my greatest pride. Aside from them, also my comrades_in-arms and my junior_junior in college always watched my broadcast.

Although I had promised that after I graduated from college I would soon marry Arsy's sister, but maybe God would not allow me to be with her. Time brings us together and time separates us. For about three years I had a special relationship with him but it did not continue. Prayers and blessings from my extended family have been poured out, but God has not approved of them.


I explained to my father and extended family that now that I have no relationship with Arsy's sister, she decided to leave me long before I was a college student. But I didn't get to tell you guys this.


Brother Rifal, my eldest brother was astonished to hear my words. She asked why when I graduated she still cared about me by taking her time to come on the show.? I say it not because of me but as a form of honor to you. I told them that she would soon be married to a doctor.


Papa did not seem to believe what I said, and I asked him to see his brother Arsy for more clarity and I told him that there was no compulsion for my relationship with Arsy's sister, we are both adults let us walk by ourselves. The soul mate is not going anywhere. If God allows him to come back with me, we must not force what God does not want, all with his permission.

At night I was sitting on my bed. I was very confused about papa's plan. The question arises in my heart, why papa really wants me to get married fast when I was young. My second sister Reza is also unmarried.


It was a beautiful day, wedding trinkets adorned my house. I saw myself sitting on a chair in a white dress and soon a man walked up to me with a familiar face in my eyes. This is the beginning of our happiness. He said as he took my hands and kissed me. The atmosphere at this moment is very beautiful, I look at the people\_people in front of me and not far from my sight, I see the smiles of strangers in my eyes, they are my parents. They were so happy to see me sitting on a beautiful iron chair.


Unceasingly\_hent she looked at me. I too was swept away with the look of his loving eyes with his handsome face. I moved my hand to touch her face, but suddenly I was surprised by a beautiful voice that made my hand movements stop. The sweet sound of the dawn made me wake up from my sleep. Oh, I was dreaming, though,


I raised my body from the bed to the place where I took the water and prayed. After I prayed, I prayed to God and asked for the best path for me. A dream that I didn't think was so, seeing myself sitting in a fancy chair with her.
