Besties #4

We live in this word is not alone. We already have a family, families from our family, and families from our family's family. But had a family is never enough. There is no mortal relationship, include a family. May be some people feel comfort with their complete family, so do i. But when you got something wrong with your family, you'll feel uncomfort, no matter how rich your family.
When two person, who have a problem or problems with their family, meet up, it look like me and my bestie Ajost. We have a common situation but in different problem. May be we're too much spend the time together so we got a bad luck in the same time.
I stuck in the wrong situation, when i have to take a charge a responsibility to take care of my pregnant sister. I already have a thousand dreams and planing for my future. But i have to cut it off when my parents or 'family' ask me to quit from my job. I need some dollar, i am a student, i can cook, and there is a place for me in a restaurant's kitchen. Thats a huge opportunity for me to collect some dollar with my own hand. But my family didn't get it. They dont understand my dreams. They only want to know that i can graduate sooner. But experience is the best teacher. I want to have a million experiences include working in the kitchen and dreams to be a chef.
No, my father say that i can take a part time job wich is suitable with my major of faculty. I told him for a million times i wont get any single experience in graphic design if i keep staying in this town. But once again my family didn't get it.
So i just keep silent and sit down in my comfort couch while feed my pregnant sister. Where is her husband? He's exist but not in my sister's daily life. You can guess where is he goes.
My bestie have a different problem. He graduated before me but he never dreams to be an employe. He have a giant ambition to make his own photo studio. Actually his father is a bussinesman who already have a photo studio. But Ajost have a hard ego, he want to build his own with his sweat.
If i can describe from his situation, he just lost a direction. He do nothing worth for his carrier in photography. His activity make me bored, its monoton in every single day. He going different in the midle of 2012. He never call me to hang out, he never call me to watch a band concert in outside of city, or take a photograph of great panorama's landscape.
Since i've been bussy with my job in kitchen till i focus again for my thesis, he still do the same thing every single day. His parents ask him to looking for a job but he ignored them. Untill one day he decided to go to Jakarta and learn more about photography there. It feels like a beautiful goodbye for me. Because he have to do that to catch his dream, even its far away from our hometown. And i am lossing my bestie for a while.
