"Of course, I want. Anyway, I have to bring a graduation announcement when I go to city A so that people do not look down on me". Qiara said excitedly. 

"That person? Who?". Demian asked in surprise.

Heard Demian's question. Qiara was silent then looked down regretting what she said.

"I mean ... The person who will stay with me later. My aunt has a child who is very annoying and likes to make fun of me, so I said so". Qiara replied while excusing the real answer. 

"Wahhh ... Good then. Yes, you have to study enthusiastically. In order not to be underestimated by him". said Demian excitedly too.

"Okay". Qiara replied. 

Since that night, Qiara asked Alya to stop coming. So, he is free to study with Demian in the city library every day.

With Demian's help and patience guiding her in studying. ever since then, Qiara had hopes of being accepted into Alexia. 

Not only that, as they often met without feeling the feeling of love grew bigger in their hearts.

Unfortunately, love that feels like chemistry and physics is very difficult to solve or understand. 

Because Qiara was busy preparing for the test, she forgot about Julian. Even though she realized that in a moment Julian would pick her up because Renata repeatedly reminded her of it. 

Not felt, the day of the long-awaited announcement came after Qiara took the online test a few days ago.

Anxiously, Qiara opened the announcement on the Alexia website through an independent channel which was also done online because of the large number of participants.

Not long after that, Qiara tapped the participant's number, so the result would appear. Instantly she felt that it was difficult to breathe and her heart stopped beating, so that her tears were pouring out unbearably.

Just then her cell phone rang and it was from Demian. After seeing the caller ID, Qiara controlled her emotions then stopped crying for a while so that Demian wouldn't know that she was sad. 

"Hello Demian". Qiara greeted him after sliding the green icon on her cellphone.

"Qiara, how is the announcement? I heard that today the announcement will come out?". Demian asked in an impatient tone. 

"I ... Not accepted". Qiara replied while holding back her tears as hard as she could. Because she didn't want to appear weak in Demian's mind.

"Really? Then ... You have to try even more. But, are you okay? I hope your enthusiasm will not be slack because there are many more ways to stay in college. Even though at Alexia you are not acceptable, you still have a chance at another university, right?". Said Demian while encouraging Qiara not to give up and keep his spirits up. 

Demian's injection of enthusiasm naturally made Qiara's heart feel better. Maybe this is the power of love. 

"Thank you! But I just want Alexia. Even though other people think I'm crazy because I dare to dream of studying at Alexia while I'm just a student with the lowest rank. But I still believe that I can definitely enter there. There will definitely be another path". Said Qiara who also encouraged herself again. 

"I see! This is her name Qiara, who doesn't give up easily when she has a desire. I will always support you! Because I trust you!".

"Thank you". Said Qiara ended her sentence. 

After that Qiara hung up the phone then continued crying slowly so that Renata didn't hear her crying. 

The next morning. 

Outside the house the car with the driver was parked, which Julian sent to pick up Qiara. 

Renata smiled when she saw Qiara come out of the room carrying two of her suitcases. However, Renata's smile immediately disappeared when she saw Qiara's pale expression. She immediately remembered Qiara's words last night, not wanting to leave the room because she was not feeling well. When she wanted to give medicine, Qiara said she had already drunk it so she felt better. But this morning, Qiara still looked sick.

"Honey! Are you still sick? If so, you can just postpone your departure for the City of A. Julian will certainly understand". Renata said after placing her palm on Qiara's forehead. 

Renata knows very well how Qiara is when she is sick. She was spoiled and always wanted to be hugged when she wanted to sleep at night, so she was worried if Qiara was far away from her when she was sick.

"Qiara is getting better, Ma. Besides, it is impossible for Qiara to keep her promise after several times delaying Qiara's departure". Qiara replied, trying to paint a smile on her lips. 

"But ... Your face is still pale dear, your body is still hot". Renata replied with a worried expression. 

"Mama ... Qiara is fine, or Mama is not willing to let me go? Didn't Qiara ask Mama?". Qiara said in a soft voice. 

"Mama has no right not to be willing to let go of you because you are no longer the responsibility of my dear Mama. Your obligation is to obey your husband and have your place beside your husband. If it is about Mama. You don't need to think about it! Because Mama is used to being alone. Here too many of our neighbors are close. Mama and even their children often stay here?". Renata explained as she hugged her daughter who was honestly very hard to let go of.

"Mama ... Don't forget to eat! Don't work too hard and you have to call Qiara often. If you miss telling me, Qiara will come home to see Mama!". Qiara said with tears while hugging her mother tightly.

"Honey ... Don't cry! You have to be happy and believe that Julian is the best man who can make you feel comfortable and safe". Renata said as she wiped her daughter's tears.

"Yes Ma". Qiara replied.

"Okay, it's time for you to go. Come on Mama, accompany you to the front!". Renata said while releasing Qiara's hug.

After that she took Qiara's arm toward the front of the house where Julian's car and driver were waiting for her.

"Ma ... Qiara go first!". Qiara said as she got into the car with a heavy heart.

All the neighbors also accompanied her to go. 

"Be careful on the road, honey! Don't forget to call Mama when you arrive!". Renata said as she waved her hand. 

From inside the car, Qiara nodded her head with tears flowing. 

"Where is Qiara going? She was picked up in a luxury car?" Asked one of Renata's neighbors. 

"She wants to study in City A and that is her aunt's car. Because she will stay at her aunt's house".. Renata replied nervously because she didn't want to tell the truth that her daughter was married.
