Kringg....Kringg.
An alarm clock rang out loud inside the room trying to wake the girl who was still struggling in the subconscious. An outstretched hand tried to turn off the sound that disturbed his sleep and continued to sleep.
30 Minutes later the alarm went off again with a louder voice upsetting the master and seeing the clock on his phone showing 4:45.
“Hem... five hours less, working time yes..”.
The thing he hated the most, getting up early. For some reason during whatever he sleeps he always feels tired and lack of sleep like a person who stayed up last night. Inevitably the girl tried to fight drowsiness and lethargy, with half conscious the girl chose to take a bath with cold water to make her more awake.
After the sound of water gurgling stopped the girl came out with a fress face and tidy clothes she took back her phone and played her faforit Japanese songs from kokoronashi, orion, amanojaku, lemon, lime, orange and many more mood swings.
Accompanied by music makes the cosy look more lively but the strange lonely feeling feels more obvious. Although briefly before the busy sounds come from neighbors one by one, making the atmosphere feel more alive.
With the accompanying music, the girl began to be busy in the kitchen heating used food yesterday to serve as breakfast. She sang with her fales voice. How else, this 23-year-old girl who is single since birth does not have singing talent.
After breakfast and check again the bag that he will bring to work afraid to forget something. It seems that it is settled, seeing the clock shows 5.36 girls are ready to go to work.
Down the narrow streets and alleys, there were not many people he had seen. It is very rare to see people leaving for work at this early time. But this girl quite enjoyed the cool morning atmosphere, the fresh air that she breathed and enjoyed the discoloration of the sky on the horizon.
“New day begins...! New problems, new memories, and maybe new pleasures. Fighting (Hwating) Amel.” This was a word he always said every morning to himself.
Amelia Putri Purnama is a 23-year-old factory worker who wanders into a city of people. While waiting for public transport on the side of the road, he thought back to his last conversation with his mother last night.

After dinner Amelia intends to continue the unfinished work. Suddenly, there was an incoming call. The word ‘Mamah’ is listed on the screen call, seeing who called him was forced to interrupt his plan.
“Halo mah.”
“Kaya ordinary smoothly-fluent aja why.”
“Gini mel, your sister said she wants to enter SMK XX she wants to major in multimedia. You know your sister once she wants to be persuaded, if she is not in follow definitely kalo kalo ga uring-uring.”
Amel just silently heard the words from the other side of the phone without any intention of interrupting.
“Mah. Mamahh will know that the school itself is very expensive, why did not enter my school which used to be in geratis at most just buy uniforms.”
“Ga can mamah same father you have tried to persuade your sister but she keeps kekeh if she does not want to continue school, after all in your school there was no multimedia department.”
“Mah denger UMR salary there is quite big.” After getting silence from the other side of the phone.
“Where do you know?” Amelia thought she never told UMR or her salary to her family.
“Neighbors mamah right his son work in the same rich city you, even can buy motorbike, pay off home installments, until help bank installments.”
But they don't know that instead of Amelia not doing what her neighbor's son is doing, she's doing her best. But his salary during this time not only for living expenses, and parental remittances, he also tried to raise money to continue college.
He accidentally saw a scholarship program to Japan. Provided he can speak English and Japanese for the first 2 years his tuition fee will be free and if he is good enough he may be able to get a full scholarship.
If successful he can not only continue his studies, he can also find a job there and send much larger money to his family. He never said because his parents always think college is something that can not be achieved by middle and lower families like them. Time and again he was desperate to pursue a dream not only cost constraints but lack of support from his family that made him desperate.
But he could not say what he was thinking now because he thought everything was a futile act. He tried it but always ended up disappointed.
“Do I have to step back again in time...!? Nothing, it will be now or later
also will remain the same, why not meet the most urgent for now.” Thought in the heart.
“Iya mah, amel will be fine. Later Amel send the money maybe no later than the end of next month.” Amelia tried to answer as calmly as she could as if she was doing fine and all her messy thoughts were not hers.
“Ya already so later mamah phone again. Don't forget to eat the same rest.”
“Iya mah, already yes nelphone her amel still no work.”
Actually after the phone was closed he no longer intended to continue his work. Amel prefers to read novels online to improve his chaotic mood now.
