After getting off the ship that had taken Salsa away from the family and moved to the opposite area, he immediately continued the journey to the destination, namely the house of Ilham who Salsa himself did not know the area..

for the first time Salsa has gone so far. With so far traveling and driving a car, Salsa is still not used to cars. He felt better riding a motorcycle than riding a car, more making Salsa feel drunk and dizzy.

According to him, riding a motorcycle is more fun and can be enjoyed because it can directly look to the right and left without being blocked by window glass as well as cars.

Salsa is still very rural and not used to riding a car, because let alone ride a car, in the village is very rare four-wheeled vehicles that pass in the area. It was only natural that Salsa would feel drunk.

"Salsa, aren't you drunk?". Ask Salsa.

"Om yep". With a little embarrassment Salsa answered the question from her omnya.

"If you want to throw up, you say yes"

"yes om. But hopefully Salsa doesn't vomit".Salsa replied hoping that she wouldn't get drunk.

A few minutes away, the car stopped at a large mall, Salsa was confused. He doesn't know what he wants. When it all went down, salsa also came down from the car.

The mall is very large, the building consists of 3 floors looks very beautiful. Salsa doesn't know what's in it. He was still looking at the building. He was amazed because the first time he came to a super luxurious mall.

"Let's go to the mall first, we're shopping". Take Aunt Irna to Salsa.

"What do you want to shop Aunty for??".

"Shop clothes for Salsa, Salsa bring only a few clothes. School will need a lot of clothes". Reply tantenya. And Salsa just followed her steps towards the mall

Usually he just came to a market that sold all the goods. Everything is mixed between clothes, fish, vegetables, and basic food. Everything lined up side by side. When looking at the mall that Salsa sees now everything looks different.

The goods in the mall were only clothes and a very luxurious place to eat. Salsa was stunned and could only look one by one at the places he passed by.

There was no stairs when he wanted to go up to the 2nd floor, there was only an elevator that ran automatically, while Salsa never took the elevator. Seeing the people around him all look relaxed when climbing the stairs of the elevator.

"Hey, you've never been up the stairs, have you?". Ask Ilham to Salsa who looks confused.

"hehehe.. Iyya om. tau itself is in the village there is no such place. The only thing that exists is the market". Answer plain salsa.

"Let's go up. lead up". invite her while holding Salsa's hand so that she does not fall while climbing the stairs of the elevator.

with a trembling feeling Salsa tried to set foot on the first staircase. He was very shocked because the stairs were relentless.

About 3 and a half hours on the way from the port, finally arrived at a house large enough when viewed from the outside.the high stilt house that became the traditional house of Sulawesi in general.

The house is the home of Aunt Irna's brother, his name is Adam. They stopped there to tell them they had come and arrived safely. They were greeted warmly in the house.

"Is this what Salsa is called?" The man asked as Salsa stretched out her hand to shake hands.

"Yes om, I am Salsa" Salsa replied by continuing the salaman to his wife.

The wife of Om Adam is called Aunt Fira. He has 3 children. Two women and one boy.The first child was named Intan, while the second child was named Indah, his youngest son was named Zidan.

They look like a happy family. When he saw Adam's family gathered, Salsa immediately remembered the people in his house. He thought if he was there for sure he would feel happy to be reunited with his happy family.

They were not in the house for long. After a few minutes of rest, they immediately continued the journey to the house of om Ilham and Aunt Irna. somehow their house Salsa still did not know.

"Salsa let's love we go home".take aunt irna on Salsa who looks very tired.

"How much longer to Aunt's house?". Salsa asked because she was already sleepy and felt her body ache all over.

"So soon, son, at least about an hour and a half we've arrived". Replied aunt Irna while stroking Salsa's head and leading her to walk to stay strong.

"Yes, come on. Salsa is tired".

"Yes, let's get stiff in the car with Fifi's mom". Fifi's mother took Salsa up in her car so she could rest in the car.

Salsa immediately boarded the car in which there was already Fifi's mother and her two friends.

Adam and his wife and children also took them to his house.

Along the way Salsa could not sleep. He just stared around the road that looked very dark like the forests in his village.

"Is it like my village which is still very little home? will my school be the same as my school in the village?'

many questions were on Salsa's mind but he did not dare to ask the people. He was only able to ask in his heart, and only the morning could answer him..

He was just patient between questions and answers that he still did not know. He just looked around the street.look right and left.

Fifi's mother and her two friends were engrossed in a story with a dialect and language that Salsa did not know at all. Salsa was only able to hear without understanding what their story meant.

"We've reached sa". Fifi's mother's voice disperse a little Salsa daydream.

"Ooh yes, Mom". Salsa replied while getting out of the car.

"Be careful.the path is dark.you heart2 fear there is a hole".

"Yya Ma'am. Om Ilham's house is here Mom?". Ask Salsa curiously.

"Yes, his house is in the middle of there". Fifi's mother answered while pointing to a house between two adjoining houses, the house was of medium size.

The house is in front of an elementary school, and behind it is a Junior High School. Salsa does not know if the school is a Salsa school or not. He also did not dare to ask.

After going through various Sulawesi-style processes, Salsa finally entered into a new house. The house he will be in for several years. The house will be a substitute for his home in his hometown.

After a while he entered finally Fifi's mother and Adam's mother came home. After that Salsa chose to rest to relieve his fatigue.
