"That's right, they don't think about how their child feels and their child's will first and decide what to-"

The sound of a cellphone ringing tone stop what I am saying, it is true that it is Mother who is calling, because I was still carried away by my annoyance that I forgot to ask permission to go play with my friends. I give signal to my friends like telling people to shut up. My friends also understand the hint.

"Yes ma'am, yes I'll be home soon, all right." I said with a sour face.

I immediately said goodbye to my friends. Under that orange sky, I took an online motorcycle taxi to go home. Even on the street I still feel that feeling of annoyance I really want to scream but I'm too embarrass to do it. I'm afraid people will think I'm crazy, even though I'm actually quite crazy now.

It is time for the announcement of the entrance selection for college, I am so excited to open the results in front of the laptop screen that is lit in the family gathering room. Even though it is just me alone in the room. Again, I am struck by a feeling of loneliness because a very precious moment, my parents not even at home. They must be taking care of the forest where there is no bright spot. When I enter the major that my mother and father suggested, I don't know how I could go about it. I'm too fed up with the word forest. Even hearing the meaning of my name I do not want to accept that fact. I slowly click on the website page that displays. Once open I could not hide my shock face.

“H-HOW COULD? AHHHHH I'M SO HAPPY!"

Can't guess what the result will be. I get into the major I want. At the same time my mother and father also come home, I tell my parents the results with great joy.

"Mother and Father have decided to enter you into a private college with a major in Forestry." My father said with a straight face.

"HAH? You both know the agreement is not like this, I have accepted and took pains to get all of this." I shout with a raise voice and tears that is already falling, now those tears don't know whether they are sad or happy.

"Mother and father understand and really appreciate this, but what you and father decide is the best for Forest." My mother said while trying to stroke my back which was trembling with tears.

"That's for your good not for me." I go straight to my room crying that I can’t hold back anymore. I can't figure out how they can do that. I hate the forest even more. I want definitely go through the lecture half-heartedly at this rate.
