Lampung, Jakarta and Pare part 1!!

Chapter II

If I incorrectly accounted that I had gone to Lampung by four time include this time but It was not several moments before as That moment would be a first step my goal. On 23rd January 2014, I forgot a bit When We woke up but We still prayed first at 5.30 am. Continuously our trip, Taking schedule at 6 am was Our schedule. We predicted that we needed around three hours to go Bakauni Harbour and continuing to get in the ship reaching Merak harbour, it was probably two hours for crossing and three hours were needed to reach Pasar Senen. Totally, We took around eight hours and it was suit with our train schedule at five o’clock in evening. We would arrived three hours early. Bravo!! As predicted, Ariana took up us one by one, because Kak Andika stayed at night in his friend’s house, we promised to wait each another directly in Raja Basah station at six o’clock in the morning. Unmistakely, I suggested that He woke up lately because of him did not arrived yet until 6.15 am. He did not answer our calling at all. We surely were worried, Therefore, Ayu looked the busiest person when She tried a fall with calling her brother. Fortunately, He come to Raja Basah at 6.30 am through we had to look for a bus. With deeply considering, We made a decision to take Bus directly would go to Jakarta. Both We had spent a half hour and avoid a traffic jam were our considering. Because of me was growing to be old person, I forgot the name of Bus what we got in. Clearly, The bus looked clean, enjoyment so that it wa fixed with what we wanted. Approximately at 6.45 , We were continuing our journey after I gave many thanks to Ariana and her friend. This would be fine, we think but Unconciously We would get many trouble then.


We had been into the bus about ten minutes, Suddenly, The driver said to change the bus, so that we had to wait for the other bus in the edge of povement. It was beyond of our expectation. Careless!!! Ayu forgot bring her Tuperware. Predictly, Ariana kindly went back to her house and picked up to her , She even waited us until we got in into the other bus. She was An Angel!! I was in contravention of her a bit. We waited long time until nine o’clock and bus already arrived. I was shocked, truly, That bus was Pantas what was nation bus, it was not originally from Lampung, but from Medan. So that’s why When we got in just there was several free seat although I might be separation of seat with Vinna and let ayu and her brother sat in one seat. I did not want to share our story a lot as I felt queasy and dizzy into the bus. In addition, The bus was being driven slowly, It made us had to hold up patiently. I sat with weird man, He was looking at me along time, I thought that He would stole something to me so that I could not sleep wee as my habit. Running to go into the harbour, there were the intelligences checked what we brought. To save from drug and thief probably was the goal of this checked. The man was sitting beside me was asked some questions by them. Funny, He brought vegetable and a lot of rice, He said Those were for providing his life in Tanggerang because His friend promised a job for him so that He had to economize. The world was cruel maybe It was in his mind. 

At Mid night at 12.00 pm, We got in the ship at Bakauni Street, because We took Pantas so that We indeed to look for bus going to Jakarta. At the time, there was billow and It made us took three hours to reach Jakarta although We did not reaching Jakarta, I would like to tell you letter. Probably, The billow highly waved, beyond expectation, I was seasick. Although, I never got a seasick along the traveling ever had. Not only me but also Ayu vomitted along the ship was driving. Finally, We took a rest at mosque and slept there even though we had to go mosque and bathroom up and down. Disturbing!!! We arrived around 15.00 in Merak Harbour, Damn!! Traffic jam conducted!!! From Merak to Tanggerang distances were needed four hours. Automatically, We left our train . It was disaster because I had to but new ticket about 180.000 and It meanly was 360.000 for me and Vinna. Disaster, disaster, disaster!!! We did not run to buy y. Let note that We just had lower capital to go Pare. We did not seem as Ayu Which was a rich person where His father was a police. It was too hard to us. 360.000 could be used to our living cost almost two months as we predicted but We had no choice that we might but the train tickets and Krakatau would be scheduled at five o’clock in tomorrow evening. Suddenly, there was trouble appearing soon. Where we had to stayed at night? Ayu and his brother could not be relied on, they always too over every solutions to us. Because we had bee leader trip in several moment, they assumed that we were the leader and they were our following so that’s why The leader should avoid every mistake and the following just followed, That’s all!!.

The freedom of Journey

Chapter I

At the time, When I read spectacular Novel which was written by Andrea Hirata, Laskar Pelangi, was starting was to get going about my dream. What I want to be? Or What I intend in the picture? , Those questions often I ask to myself. My parent hoped for being an employer going by the book quickly. I was difenetely sure that moment. Initially, I surely worked to put my assignment trough well and tried to set my passion against. However, After contemplating as an employee in PT Bagus Utama Karya and being contemporary employee in PT Pusri, I made a martyr of myself by learning English in The most popular English place ,Kampung Inggris Pare, when most people in my own country totally believe up to now that You can speak English faster just need approximately around three months. Therefore, I made a dead set at having time to learning English there hence wishing was able getting a better job after finished my courses there. With my sister, Ayu Virdinia and Andika will tried to change our life with English as key success one day. Surely, Our journey began!!.


On 22nd January 2014, We took a train to start our journey. Our transportation planning for declining our expanses took a train to Tanjung Karang station, After that My fellow’s friend would take up us staying at night in her boarding house. By the begin in the morning, She kindly would be picking us up to Raja Basah bus station where that place was notrious and horror as many thieves there. Next to , taking a bus to Pasar Senen was next agenda and finally, we would had taken a train to Kediri station where Global’s staff looked forward to us patiently and we continuosly will be picked us up to our boarding house. We cannot run to buy airplane at the moment. My parent and I had arrived at Kertapati Station At 7.30 am, It was too early actually as Train’s time table showed at 8.30 am. In spite of some reason, exchange of our ticket and traffic jam effected us to go to there early unusual. After changing our ticket, unfortunately, Ayu and her brother did not arrived yet although hereby the time was still at 8 am but we were worried a bit. We called Ayu along time but She said They would be there just moment. Until at 8.15 am , they did not show their face and we considered to leave them over until 8.25 am, If they did not arrived that we regardly had to leave them. Rather touching When my sister and I took leaving with my mother, Noted that My father had to work after took us up and I did not ask his permit because when he would be going to his office, unfortunately, I was making a line to change our ticket. Back to story, I hand it to my mother and tried to make sure to myself that this was the begining of m way to get success one day, I totally believed it. Allah would be with me and looked out for my mother when I was in Pare, I wished it. Meanwhile, After came in into the train, Ayu and her brother did not come yet, We deeply was worry, just five minutes left and this train would take off. We were busying calling time which we saddened leaving them as we were sure to change our life with English each another. Betimes, They came in into the train before its door would had been closed around three seconds left by engine driver. They fortunately were saved!!!. 

Along into the train, There was nothing special. Its impression came to my mind, probably because of me had often taken a train going to Jakarta although the economy class looked better than before when I went to Lampung. No seller, no smoke even thought there was AC so that It touched cold as cucumber. As usual, sleeping, Reading and talking were ur activities into the train. Approximately, We were end up at Tanjung Karang Station at 10 pm as predicted. We directly look for Ariana Who was Budi’s Friend, Actually, Budi was my friend where I knew him as Badminton Lovers’ Lampung. He could not pick up us as arranging his lecturer assignment so that this job was taken over by Ariana. Basically, Kak Daminan, Bolem offered their help but There was misunderstanding each another. They asked leding down in Pelabuhan Ratu and Budi said his friend looked forward to us in Tanjung Karang station. Finally, We finished off Budi’s offering. No need long time, Ariana and his friend arrived, because they just brought two motorcycles, we had to piked up in a row. Kindness, politeness and frindliness were Ariana’s Characters. Not only I already knew her just that time buat also She treat us a dinner ,fried rice even though that time had been almost mid night, she kindly served us well. Budi was Lucky had a friend seemed as Ariana.

 To sum up We were in Lampung now. We had passed a quarter of way to reach Pare!! .
