My First
On first January 2012 I prepared my bag, my mind, and my heart to
face my journey. At five I already to go, and waited my neighbor in her
terrace. I spend much time to greet my family and my neighbors family,
before me and Tita, my neighbor got in mini bus that would go to Train
Station in Madiun. Honestly, I felt nervous and afraid because its my first
farthest trip, fortunately Tita said if she ready to helped me.
At six I and Tita arrived in Train station, after that we had praying
maghrib in the masjid. Before we went to railway coach, Tita bought some
snack and medicine. In the coach we sat in seat and had some snack while
waited the train set out. About twenty minute later the train set out, its six
pas a half.
Because I seat near window, I could see scenery around the railway
track. Suddenly, when I had a talking with Tita, I felt sick in my stomach. Tita
lubricated oil carefully on my stomach, and gave me a medicine. She said,
you have to drink it after that get sleep. We have been trough east Java.
And I replied, ok thanks, please bring my ticket. She said of course she
would keep it.
I woke up at four pas a half and my stomach felt better. I couldnt
imagine if I could sleep tight in train, and you know tita laughed because she
heard if I was snoring when I slept. She said if we had been trough center
java. I felt excited and looked at the window, its dark outside. Tita gave me
some snack, bread, and medicine; she told me to drink the medicine after
ate the bread. The sun rose and the sky came bright slowly, we had still two
stations until in Bandung, yes our destination was Bandung. At six we arrived
in Bandung train station, my aunty had waited me and Tita.
Tita said if she had to go, because she had promise with her friend.
please, wait a minute. I have to find my aunty first, ok? and she said ok.
She asked have you called her?. I said yes, and told her if my aunty in
south gate. Tita showed the way to the south gate, she accompanied me
until we met Aunt Ana. Before she left me with aunt Ana, she greeted aun
Ana and I said thank you to her.
That was my first farthest journey, I was very excited. I would live in
Bandung for several mount and help my aunt. I was grateful because I went
with tita who always helped and carried me.
