The Trip



August, 23 2014
No one on the bus. I walked between the aisle and sit in the front side. Is that real? I start my adventure today. Actually, this is beyond my expectation that I have my own trip. The trip just with myself. This decision I’ve made in early August when I almost finished my internship program. Yeah, since I have to work within four walls and have to faced computer every 5 days a week, my heart is always calling for my activities and for a new adventure. My aunt asked me to visit her in Gresik. Then I think that this is the best choice to have holiday before the class is started. But I won’t to spend the leftover holiday just visit my aunt, so I told friend of mine, Bayduri, that I want to visit her today. And here I am, in Magelang bus station, waiting for the bus drive me to my adventure.  
Then I have the day is going well. Bayduri picked me up and we spent this noon sharing each other. Long time I’m not see her. When she spent her holiday in Salatiga, she worked from morning until night and I followed internship program. So, our time wasn’t match. This time like redemption for the time we are not meet. After that, her aunt and uncle accompanied us went to Jatimalang beach. It was almost 5pm when we left the house. Poor me, I couldn’t saw the sunset. But it’s okay, the sand and the salt water substitute my desire to sunset. We have ronde and ate tempura after visited beach. Bayduri’s aunt treated us. Thanks aunt!
Bayduri and I were tired. After she took a bath, she got herself slept. I was watching movie, and arranged my next trip. I’m going to Sragen, visit my freinds and in the night I will catch the night bus to Gresik.

          Very early morning, at 3 m, I woke up Bayduri, I asked her to accompanied me waiting for the bus. She is very kind, accepted me in my short visit and understand my condition that I have to reach Sragen at 8am.
          This make me quite tired, because I changed bus in Yogyakarta and waiting for several minutes, and waiting for again when the bus reached Solo. Oh no, I have my stomachache! The waiting is like tormentor for me. I prayed to God in order that I can reach Sragen in time. Fortunately, at 8am I can reach Sragen, so my friend Yanuar can pick me up before the worship on his church is started. I followed the worship which teach me to keep mouth because our mouth is like two eyes of sword, can hurt anyone or can glory God.
          The following time in that day add my experience and my friendship. I’m be acquainted with teenagers there, Mbak Yossi, Hizkia, Daniel, dek Danang and the pastor’s child accept me. I also have conversation with Ibu pendeta more compared with my last visited. Beside that, Yanuar asked his friend to spend this noon together. His plan is to visit Candi Cetho in Karanganyar. It touched my heart, he told me that because I’ve ever told him that I want to go to Candi Cetho, then they accompany me. 

          After visited Candi Cetho, I stayed at pastoral. Boring with the activities, Dek Danang and I ride bicycle through an old sugar factory and train station. You know, for the first time I saw a train left the station. It was mesmerized me! 


Then I played with dek Adit and Alan, pastor’s child. I know that they recognize me as they friend. This time emphasize my thought that love isn’t always because of intimate relationship. I never meet them or know them before, but when Deni talked about them, it’s like I know them. Thus, I really really thank for Deni who introduce them to me. To Yanuar who accompanied me, accepted me and being my friend, without him I’ll be alone because Deni couldn’t act freely like when we meet in Salatiga, he is on his serving God. Thank Yanuar, you were sleepy but you accompanied me stop the bus, when I had to left at 11pm. Thanks for all my new friend.


Yanuar were tired, until he fell asleep in front of the pastoral door.

Saya masih ingat empat bulan yang lalu, Nela pertama kalinya memulai perjalanan yang sangat panjang. Kami ada pelayanan keliling Sulawesi Tengah. Dari perjalanan inilah, saya tahu kalau Nela anak yang kuat. Dia hanya mudah menjadi bosan dan selalu ingin melihat-lihat. Perjalanan pertama kami dimulai dari Bitung. Kami naik kapal ‘Sinabung’, yang bertingkat tujuh dan bisa mengangkut ribuan orang, ke pulau Banggai. Suatu pulau kecil yang sangat indah. Di sana kami mengunjungi teman kami. Perjalanan satu malam satu hari itu cukup menarik karena ini pengalaman pertama kami melakukan perjalanan lewat laut. Melihat orang-orang yang berjubel di koridor-koridor atau gang-gang di dek kapal, menggelar tikar, menggantung kain untuk bayi, tidur tanpa menghiraukan gangguan bahkan menjemur handuk. Dek itu pengap dan panas. Di bawah matras banyak hewan-hewan kecil dan anak kecoa. Air dari kamar mandi meluap ke bawah matras sehingga sela-sela jalan menjadi becek dan bau. Nggak hanya itu, setiap a...

WALITURA

Aku   kagum dengan mereka. Mereka tidak bisa mendengar, tetapi mereka memiliki semangat. Setiap dua minggu mereka akan berkumpul di lapangan Pancasila dan berusaha bersosialisasi dengan masyarakat. Mereka membuat banner, MMT kecil dan membuat tulisan “Belajar Bahasa Isyarat. GRATIS!”.  Aku kagum dengan mereka. Mereka tidak bisa mendengar, tetapi senyum mereka berbicara. Mereka mengajarkan kepada orang-orang yang tertarik kepada mereka dan tertarik dengan bahasa isyarat. Meskipun mengajarkan bahasa dengan cara yang berbeda juga merupakan kendala terbesar, namun mereka mengajar dengan sabar. Aku ingat ketika aku tidak bisa mengingat satu gerakan yang menggambarkan satu kata setelah berkali-kali aku diajari, mereka membuat gerakan yang mengatakan bahwa aku pelupa dengan gaya mereka yang kocak. Dan kami pun akhirnya tertawa.  Aku kagum dengan mereka. Mereka tidak mendengar, tetapi mereka sama sekali tidak malu. Dengan siapapun mereka akan berusaha mengajak berbicara...

Terminal Semester Ini

Libur semester ini, pemberhentianku adalah sebuah agen travel trans jaya. Dan pekerjaanku adalah admin dan cso salatiga. Cukup bergengsi kan? :D Tugasku adalah mengurus tiket jurusan Purwokerto, Surabaya, Malang, Kediri, Blitar, Jakarta, Pantura, Jogjakarta, Semarang dan Solo serta mengurus surat jalan dan menerima telepon. Pekerjaan   ini benar-benar membuatku belajar tentang banyak hal dan materi kuliah di kelas English of Office Administration jadi berguna bagiku. Bedanya yang   kulakukan sekarang   adalah versi bahasa Indonesianya. Aku belajar bagaimana cara menghadapi pelanggan, menerima telepon dan membuat pembukuan. Dan sekarang aku jadi terlatih bilang ‘Agen travel selamat siang, ada yang bisa kami bantu’, tentu saja dengan nada dan intonasi yang lembut. (oh tidak, aku pernah emosi dengan penelepon yang membuatku ingin berteriak kepadanya). Namun, tidak ada pekerjaan dengan gaji yang lumayan yang pekerjaannya seringan itu. Aku harus membuat tiga laporan k...
