After working at the cafe, Felicia returned to her house by taking a Transjakarta bus, which happened to be the stop there from the Matching Point cafe. The cafe where she works after every class.

Felicia immediately got into the bus which was taking her home. It is quite far from the bus stop to her house, about half and four miles. But this transportation is the cheapest. So that she can save money.

About thirty minutes later, Felicia arrived at the bus stop closest to her house. She got down from there and came out after tapping the card on the automatic door. His long legs took a leisurely stroll down the main road then into an alley. Not far from the alley entrance, on the right there is a small gate inside which a small building stands there. Surrounded by a hedge and a few trees around it, it is like securing the house from the crowd. Although their neighbor's house was quite close, it was only fifty meters away.

Felicia opened the iron gate which was full of rust slowly because there was a squeak sound that was quite disturbing to the ears. Especially at night like this. She also stepped back through the yard that looked well-groomed. Most of the yard is still of fertile red soil. Only a path is made using rocks that connect from the fence to the terrace of the house.

Even though it was dark, the door to her house was still slightly open. Interspersed by the sound of sewing machines that sounded as soon as Felicia approached the door. She opened the door slowly, revealing the figure of a middle-aged woman who was now sitting on her sewing table chair with skillful hands pushing the cloth over it.

"You're home, Fel?" asked the woman with her gaze still focused on her work.

"I am." Felicia walked over to the woman and greeted her politely.

"Go eat first before resting," said her mother.

"Mama, don't sleep late at night, okay." Felicia tried to remind her mother who likes to forget time when working, just like herself. "For the research cost, you don't need to worry. Felicia got a lecturer project. At least a small fee."

"Oh, yeah? Thankfully. But I used to work until night. After all, I have an appointment with the customer," Emili said again, as stubborn as Felicia.

"Okay, Felicia went to the room first."

The brown-haired girl immediately entered her room which was quite spacious and simple. There is only an old wooden wardrobe there, a small bed and a study table which is concurrently with a few make-up arrangements.

Felicia lay back on the bed which was soft enough to unwind after a long day of studying and continuing to work. The girl looked at the ceiling of her room decorated with tumblr lights for the sake of beautifying this simple room.

At least she and her mother don't need to think about a place to take shelter anymore, because her father has built this simple house with his income. Felicia felt lucky to have a father who loved his family so much that God loved her father even more.

There wasn't much Felicia expected. She just wants to graduate immediately and work in her field. She wanted to save money to continue her studies at a pharmacist again. She wanted to raise the rank of her mother so that no one would underestimate her family. Moreover, the family of her father who until now blames Felicia and her mother for making her father have to work hard until he had an accident. Even though who wants to lose their father and husband in their life? Although exchanged for assets of whatever size, family is the main thing.

Slowly Felicia closed her eyes, trying to release all the fatigue in her head.

Today nothing special although some people test their emotions. The girl tried to be strong even though she had to limit herself from those who tried to knock her down. She only needed to cover her ears from the bad words of others about her, her two hands wouldn't be enough to cover those people's mouths.

The longer her body relaxes. Her silent surroundings dissolved her even more in dreams. The dream that she will fulfill with all the hard work she has put in. Even tonight she might wake up again in a third of the night. Routines she has been doing since her father left. In order to get closer to God who has given her strength until now, praying. She is also used to getting up at three in the morning to finalize lessons for the same day plus working on entrepreneurial proposals and looking for thesis proposal materials.

All the busyness that Felicia has at least will make the girl not have time to think about the bad words of people who don't like her. Because she is busy realizing her own dreams.
