Dewi, the Short Hair Girl

            My friend, the best friend I have ever known. I call her Dewi. She is a submissive girl. She is girl who rarely leaves the house and always follows to the rule of her father. Everything is controlled by her father and his appearance as well. Indeed, sometimes this life must have rules, but not all existing laws must be obeyed because sometimes the rules should be implemented. As I suggest my friend to pick and choose the best hair style for her.

            Dewi is a submissive girl; always do her own household, feed her father’s pets and sometimes buy food for other family members. She was the third of four children. She has one older sister, one older brother, and one younger brother. Sometimes she also brings her young brother who was still in elementary school. Her job is so much at her home. Therefore, sometimes it can be difficult to set the time. Dewi is a tall and thin girl. She has brown eyes and long curly hair. Her body is typical for us, tall, skinny and long curly hair.

            I think she looks old with that hair style, I ask her to cut the long hair. I want to see her different from her previous appearance. I always saw her came to campus with a rush, that what made me think it is better if she cut her hair. I see that she has not proportional body. A small face shape is not suitable with long hair, plus she has body that tall and thin. When I told her, she thought it too; she wanted to cut hair and smoothed it. However obstacle for her father. Her father did not allow her to cut her long hair. Her father thought that girl’s hair is a crown of the girl. Yes indeed, girl is identical to long hair. But now, the world is growing, she must have beautiful hair. Beautiful does not mean long, but orderly and clean.

            Dewi kept thinking about a solution that I gave the hair cut. Finally she cut her long hair was. After she cut her hair, I also see the work of an employee of the salon for her. For me it is not too short, she cut it to shoulder. The curly hair was also straightened. What happened? Upon arriving at her home, her father did not scold her, her father praised Dewi. Like me, I saw her younger, fresher, and more beautiful. Agree with me, my classmates more like her with the short hair.

WITHOUT MUCH TALKING

            Rule is a set each person’s behavior in doing an act. All things must be related to the rule. From the smallest instances, such regulation in the family. Every family has different rules. There is a prohibition to leave the house until night, but some are allowed and do not care about the circumstances. In my family, there are rules that are very applicable. No one has dared to violate the rules. Father is the owner of the power of all, he controls all things in our small family. We have always tried to follow, either because of respect or fear to him. I had an experience that made me pause and bury all, because the commands and wishes of my father.

            When I was still studying in senior high school, I had a dream of becoming a professional architecture. Because I feel, it is still rare woman became an architect. I dream high, can make housing patterns, and working with contractors to further advance the business and my work. In addition, it may be my hobby, sketching and designing things. Other than that, I really like to imagine about design of house.

            When I pass the national exam, all students must be busy for desired college. Like me, I followed test in order to learn about the technical architecture. Test ended and just waited for the results. When the announcement is already came out and my name was listed there with a very satisfying for me. Just imagine, I was following the rules, that re-registration at the university. I can relax, because I already can university which I want.

            However, I had never thought before, my father told me to follow one test at other university. I know I am not too smart in this area and not confident speak in front of class. Being public speaking is something I had never imagined before. Because I know I not confident person. Instead of speaking in front of people, in front of the class I have to prepare mental from far-away days. This was the command of my father, so I have to follow his order. Finally I followed the written test and interview. Surprisingly, I passed. Although the value in this test was not better than the previous test in architectural engineering, I was still grateful to have been accepted at college.

            Now I am here, to leave all the dreams I have ever dreamed, trying to understand and accept the situation. I felt very heavy and hard to believe it all. It is all a lot desire and dreams, very complex things on my mind. I know, parents will never drop his daughter. They always want the best for their children, in any way they do what to make their children happy, comfortable, and successful and appreciated by the public. However, do they know what is needed by their children? Do they want the same thing with what their children want? And do they know, their children can do well or not? Until now I have never asked this to my mother or my father. I can only think and ask my heart, though I know I will never know the answers to those questions.

            Denmacika Widiary is one student of English Education Department. That is me. I felt I was scared and could not finish my education. I am unsure of myself, because I never thought to learn the English language better. But what can I do now? I had the choice to try to meet my father’s wish. May God give all of the funds easy for me? Currently I am thinking to get through this all as they are, without having to fight the currents flowing there and loved this lesson. Tried and tried to do it, as much as I can to complete it all. Motivation of the family, that is what kept me here to accomplish all of this to its conclusion, and with good value because I do not want to make my parents disappointed, especially father.

            So until now, I only keep silent, without much talking, protesting and revolting. I think, it is just stupid thing that could damage the relationship between parents and child, because it is a parent’s duty must to follow the rules and make him proud of us. For what fun and fulfill her desire in the beginning, t is good to be able to accomplish ll of this. That is what was in my mind; so far I was able to survive in this class. While walking slowly, but I assure you, I certainly could pass as normal and good. Hopefully there are no barriers or obstacles that are dropped.

MY TWIN

Now, I am nineteen years old, exact I will soon be twenty old. Age that could be considered mature, but it is true maturity cannot be measured simply by looking at age alone because I know, sometimes I like a child. I can still tell myself I am not mature because until now, I am hard to make a choice. Whatever is it. Because I think choosing is the most difficult and confusing action. Maybe this is characteristic that I want to change.

I have best friend, her name Ida Ayu Madriani Dewi. Two years ago, exactly the first time we studied in the same class, I do not know her because I was shy and had low self confident to talk to new people. Yet somehow the beginning, I knew her and talk to her. First time, she looks like a calm person. Why is that? Because she did not say not so many joke. I think maybe she was also an arrogant girl. Other reason, I also consider her moody, not because she was arrogant, but because sometimes I see her calm an sometimes ambitious.

As time went on, I with her in E class together. We always do assignment and travel together. Therefore, I know her family well and vice verse. I know that she respects to her parents. She is also diligent in her house because everyday she can do household alone, such as sweeping, watering, and feeding her father’s pets. Although sometimes she likes to put it off. It is clearly seen that she is a girl who loves her family.

After I know about her life, I am familiar with her character that I think is not good, she has no discipline of time. If I make an appointment with her, I must remind her. As I know, she is very sluggish. She thinks all things are relaxing without having to rush. I find out she is not calm girl as I have ever thought of before. She is talk active person, if she talks about her story, maybe my time will run out just to listen to her story. Also, she was a moody. Sometimes she is diligent, but sometimes she likes to delay the work. But behind it all, she is a loyal person. Loyal to her family, friends and boyfriend. I know that because I feel it. She will never leave her friends when her friends not good condition. She was able to maintain her relationship with her boyfriend for five years. It is not a short time. It needs patience and loyalty.

When I firstly knew her, I was shocked. Because many characteristics that I have same as hers. Not just one character, nut almost the entire of my characteristics are owned by her such as, delay to work, always feel relax, and moody. 

This is very interesting friendship because I feel I have twin. Our characteristic have not too much different. I hope, we still can be friendship.
