PASSION

Part 2

After she done to prepare herself, she went down to the kitchen and had breakfast with her parent. Dafune always eat Pao de Queijo as her breakfast because she really like it, she such a Brazilian. As a Japanese descendant, she sometimes had a Japanese style breakfast too like rice with ikura. Ikura is red caviar. Dafune and her parent had their breakfast together. During this time, Dafune father always ask Dafune how her condition in college. They always emphasized to get a good grade and always warn if she ever gets a result that they not like or did not meet their satisfaction, Dafune will be trouble. Luckily, Dafune always got a good result as she is pretty smart too. She also like to argue with anyone if she found something not right in her eyes. That's why her parent told her to further her study in Law. However, she did not like law and did not want to be a lawyer. She wanted to be a fashion designer as she liked to see pretty clothes. She also good in drawing. Sometimes, in her leisure time, she will draw some clothes secretly to make sure her parent did not know about this. Dafune did not have the courage yet to say this as she know her parent will really mad about it. Thus, she chose to keep this thing quietly. After they done having a Breakfast, Dafune went to the college with her driver. Meanwhile, her father went to the law firm that his father owned while her mother worked as an accountant at a well-known company. Yes, Dafune family can be said rich. However, Dafune sometimes her life was stressed as she was controlled by her father to against her dream to be a fashion designer as for them that job cannot bring a fortune to this family. For them, a good job is a job that meet with Asian stereotype.

Dafune arrived at the college. The first thing she went to the locker first. She usually met her friend at the lockers. Dafune u used the locker to put her other clothes that she brought from her home and also her makeup kits. Not to forget, her law books which are so heavy. At this locker, Dafune would have a conversation with her friends before she went to the class. They always talk about trend, gossip about celebrities especially Kpop celebrities and sometimes about their academy matters especially about their assignment. "Girls, how about the progress in our assignment that Mr Bolsonaro asked. Remember, he so strict and always ask to send his assignment on time. I think, I had found some information for my parts and now I am in the process to extract the information and write it. How about you, Taeyeon?' asked Dafune to her friend. "I'm same with you." Taeyeon replied. "Girls, I need help as I did not understand some things in this assignment".Sooyoung said. Okay, Sooyoung, we can have a discussion after we finished our class later. Where do you guys want to do this discussion. I think we can do at the college library, it is quite comfy," Dafune said. Sooyoung and Taeyeon nodded and "we agree with you" they said.

"Really,Boer! you want to be a pro wrestler?" "Don't be kidding! You? A pro wrestler? In you dream" "A pro wrestler in Brazil? HAAHHAHAHAHA. It is like a pig might fly for me" Some voices were heard by the girls. The voice came from the male lockers. "I don't care what you guys are thinking. In fact, thanks for your 'support'. It wants me to prove that you guys are wrong." Said the guy that called as Boer. His eyes were fiery like fireball and at the same time his eyes shine brightly. Dafune amazed. For her, that guy's eyes showed a very strong determination to chase his dream. Dafune hope he can have the spirit like him. The guy named Boer was a thin boy but he so tall. He has brown eyes and an oval face. His hair was a little bit spiky. The reason why Boer's friend said that he cannot become a pro wrestler because he is thin. However, Dafune who do not know everything about pro wrestling as she never cared about sport and so on. She might know Ronaldo because Ronaldo already become a celebrity via sport and he also have the most follower in Instagram. He might know Dwayne Johson as he is an actor in a well-known movie which is Fast and Furious movie but she does not know who is The Rock even he is the same person like Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montanna.

Talking about Fast and Furious, there is one of it series that they shoot in Brazil which is in Rio de Janeiro. Dafune did not like that series as it shoot at the favelas which show that Brazil is a poor country. For Dafune, it is so stupid to only show favela in Brazil without showing any beautiful place at this breath-taking country. Why they did not do the shooting at the Ipanema which show how beautiful beaches at Brazil or why they did not shoot at Sao Paulo., the biggest metropolitan in South America. Dafune asked this question when watching that movie. She knew that media have a very huge influence to people mind. Not everyone know how exactly Brazil is, therefore these people rely on the fact and information that conveyed by the media. The word is sometime a cruel place, the dominating power always looked good and become famous around the world. Brazil is in the South America continent and sometimes the world seemed do not care with this continent. This continent become famous only in football but for other matters, this continent is always to be overlooked. Unlike the North America which people looked that continent as a developed continent because of the USA and Canada and also Europe. Yup, Dafune lineage was also from a prestigious country which is Japan but for her, it is not fair because sometime media always potray Asian as slanted eyes people or sometimes India. Dafune think there are many parts of Asia such as South east Asia which also overlooked from the others. Sometimes, people had a stereotype that she talked like anime girl that have a cute voice because she is a Japanese even it is actually opposite. She does not have a cute voice at all and in fact she more proficient in using Portuguese rather than Japanese. She also had the Brazilian Portuguese accent not the Japanese. Well, she was born and live in Brazil. Therefore, she hates negative stereotype about a race or a country as she like to see it with her own eyes.

Then, the girls and the boys went to their classes. The class began. It is like a normal student thing where Dafune just heard the lecture teaching and wrote some notes so she can memorize and understand what the lecturer is teaching, however, sometimes she may lose what she had to write as some of the lecturer speak so fast. Therefore, Dafune asked her friend help if they got the missing information. That' how the girl study as they help each other in getting the good result. These girls become friend due to this and they also have a similarity which is they are Asian. Sooyoung and Taeyeon are actually from Korea but their parents moved to Brazil when they were kids. However, it does not mean that Dafune only befriend with Asian, she also nice to other. Sometimes, a classmate will ask Dafune or her friend as they know these girls can understand what the lecturers are teaching, they always share their understanding with others as for them sharing is caring. Then, after the class end, they went to the Cafteria to have lunch. Even they are Asian descendant, Dafune and her friend had their lunch like Brazilian which they eat rice with bean and meat. Howver, it is not so different with Asia because Asia also like to eat rice. Dafune think Brazil is a unique place because it have the western culture and also the Asian Culture that combined into one and become Brazilian culture. Not only that, Brazil is a multiracial and diverse country. That's why sometimes people think Brazilian is unique because they have a lot of mix. Even they have a lot of mix, Brazilian are proud to be Brazil which can be seen if they are what their nationality, they will only answer Brazil. Unlike certain people where they like to say that they have 50% that country, 20% that country and so on. After finished their lunch, they went to their next class/ at 4 P.M, they usually finished their classes. Then, they will return to their home.

However, they just decided to have a group discussion on that day. Thus, after they finished their classes, they went into the university library to do the discussion. The library has four floor and third and fourth floor are social zone. This mean that they can be a little bit noisy in their discussion. Therefore, they chose the third floor. They went to the third floor via lift and then choose the suitable spot. They choose the spot that near the window so they can have an outside view while having discussion. After done choosing the spot, they started their discussion. They will utilize the time properly as they do not like to procrastinate their time. For the girls, procrastinate is a drag and if they can finish the task earlier, they will do it because they think they can rest and do the thing they like for the remaining time without pressure. The girls choose the library as the places is very comfortable to have a discussion. They do not like to have discussion at a café because for them café is more suitable to eat. Besides, the library in Universidade Paulista also have plenty of references book to help them in their assignment. They usually borrow the book from the library to help them in their assignment. Yes, they have the Internet but they felt the information from references books are more reliable than the internet. After their discussion ended, Dafune noticed the Boer guy from the window. He seemed rushing to go somewhere. "Girls, do you remember that guy?", pointing at Boer. "Yes, we reme,ber" , Taeyeon and Sooyoung replied. "Do you girls know about pro wrestling? I only know that usually muscular men playing this sport they throwing each other"said Dafune. Taeyeon said "I have heard that pro wrestling is fake." Sooyoung said. "Fake? Can you explain it" asked Dafune. "It meansthat all the action is totally fake like they have fake punches, kicks and all the grappling and throwing" Sooyoung explained. Dafune said, "ohhhh. I see/ why that Boer guy really want to be a wrestler even it is fake. It is weird, you know". "Don't ask me", Sooyong answered. "I heard that pro wrestling once became famous in Brazil in the 80s. I think it called telecatch. Howver, when people knew that pro wrestling is fake, people stop watching it. However pro wrestling is still popular in this world especially in USA. I think you know Dwayne Johson right? He actually a wrestler under the ring name of the Rock before he become the famous actor." Taeyeon gave some story. "Really, Dwayne Johson is a wrestler before. How can I never know about this. Whatever. The thing is the pro wrestling is fake and now it dead in Brazil but still that Boer guy is really determined to become a wrestler. where is the fun in watching the "fake"stuff, why he do not like other guys at his age which like football or esport. Football really famous in Brazil and people really respect football player meanwhile E-sport is growing and become famous around teenagers. Thus, for Dafune to become a pro wrestler is a weird one. However, Dafune respected and admired Boer for his determination and PASSION.
