College Or College Ah?

Bali I'm coming!

In the morning Iyas picked me up, though still with his pillow face. He seemed unwilling as I was about to get out of his car shortly after we got to the airport.

"I'm coming in, right? Who knows you need me" he said.

"Need? Make what?" ledek.

"I want to check that you are ready all or not" he replied.

Iyas went in and we gathered in the lobby. He chatted with Aji, Nirwan, Gian, Agung and others. Meanwhile, I was busy checking out the documentation team's equipment.

Until the teachers arrived.

"Eh yas, nganter here?" ask Mr. Yana.

"Yes sir, noganter Raina" he replied.

Brother Iyas chatted with the lecturers until it did not feel like we finally had to do boarding immediately.

"Yu get ready" asked Nirwan.

Before entering, I came to him and pinched his stomach skin.

"Sick ih" grunts.

"I'll miss you for days" I replied.

Brother Iyas spontaneously wanted to hug me, but I held his hand.

"Then in a public place" I said.

He smiled because he realized there were many people around us.

"Jaudah, let me know if you can. When I get there I want you to focus, right? Don't think too much of me" he said with a laugh.

"Hahaha GR, am I really going to think that much? Big brother who will keep thinking of me" ledekku.

"That's for sure, don't forget to sleep properly and eat well" he said.

I left him slowly, my steps away from where he is standing now. He was still there until the moment his face was covered by the crowd.

.....................

He said farewell is a ceremony to welcome the days full of longing.

I can't wait to welcome him.

Not because I want to leave you.

Because I want to end the ceremony immediately.

Then we can meet each other.

Hugging as usual.

I know this won't last.

His name was separated for sure only temporarily.

That is forever my love.

Become immortal just for you.

The seat to my right was occupied by Gian. Somehow the next door is not even Nunu but Afrani. Yes the Rani.

Gian and I realized how awkward we were at the time. Even though Rani was sitting in the corner by the window, I still felt uncomfortable.

Especially when imagining having to room with him for a full week.

"Do you want to take off? Pray, baby, hope it's good?" kak Iyas wrote in his message.

"Yes my dear, see u soon. Miss u already😭" reply.

Gian peeked at the contents of our conversation back then and then he mocked me in a loud voice.

"Heuh just wanted to split a week just so much" he said.

Rani was aware of the commotion we were making and she was seen wearing her headset.

Gian even deliberately made more noise by chatting loudly with Nunu. They are busy with their world, lucky that time behind all the passengers are their friends. The rest were just a few other passengers.

"Rain, I bought a jacket yesterday at Rainfa. It's a good 30% discount" Gian said.

"Yes the first month he said it would continue to discount" I replied.

"It's great that Iyas can make his own outlet" he said.

"Yes, it's not pure he himself, the same brother Dhika and two of his friends is so if not wrong" I explained.

.................................

We were not at Ngurah Rai Airport. The number one busiest airport in the world. There are many foreign tourists wandering here. I reached pangling after realizing that this was still in Indonesia.

Me and my three best friends waited for a suitcase while sitting around. I also had time to send a message to Brother Iyas.

"I was in ngurah rai, huhu i'm so excited" I said.

Soon, I had my suitcase taken and we were asked to go to the travel bus that was waiting for us.

"The bus number is the same as the group, right? We go straight to the hotel first" cried Agung.

"Ready" we answered in unison.

The journey to Jimbaran is very beautiful, we passed the first sea toll road made in Indonesia. With the appearance of the sea around him.

Along the way are also many statues that look very majestic. The majority of residents in Bali do embrace Hinduism and make Bali feel very different nuances of the city with what we have seen so far.

I remember when the plane was about to land earlier, the statue of Garuda Wisnu Kencana looks to be the most prominent building. In Bali itself there are regulations regarding the construction of houses and hotels and all the buildings to be made there. There is a height limit to be adhered to. So that makes Bali look very neat from the air.

"The GWK statue is not yet so, later if it is 100% sure it is the most visible from the plane" Gian said.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Arriving in a hotel room...

I rushed to occupy the single bed available there. While Ega must accept his fate one mattress with Rani.

Fortunately Ega did not protest and accepted his fate with a chest of air.

"Rain, where are we going?" ask Ega.

"You don't know, I'm not on the show team. Don't see the rundown either" I replied.

"Eh yeah well, I should have called the event team first" he said.

Before long, the force roomchat rang many times.

"This time we go to the office of tourism and culture office yes. Meet in the lobby in 15 minutes" said Agung.

Me and Ega rushed into the bathroom to wash their faces and tidy up. However this is a visit to a formal institution, we must display a good and neat image of students when visiting there.

After me and Ega finished, Rani then went into the bathroom and closed the door very hard. Maybe he's upset that Ega and I haven't talked to him since.

"Please lock the door and take the key with you" Ega shouted just before we left the room to get to the gathering place.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Actually I didn't mean to silence Rani, it's just that Brother Iyas asked me not to try to talk to her first.

"I know you will definitely be good with him, but for the sake of maintaining your mood so as not to fall apart during this field lecture mending you do not touch him deh" said Nunu suggested.

Arriving in the lobby...

"I'm missing such a beautiful time. Must have made up first?" nunu said as I sat next to him.

"Wash your face equally different" I replied.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

We also arrived at the local Tourism and Culture Office, it felt very comfortable when it got a good and friendly reception there.

"Thank you for visiting, thank you for choosing Bali as your study area. Hopefully Bali can give you lessons related to science and life sciences of course. Welcome to Bali City, until you meet on another occasion" said Mr. who welcomed us.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

Our journey continues to the Bajra Sandi monument. We conducted visits as well as interviews with officers and residents there.

We also had time to take class photos and class photos there.

I also took a lot of photos and videos for our report later.

Although tiring, it is very exciting to be able to visit historical places in Bali.

Day

Me and the documentation team were sitting next to my room, where there were gallons of water and lots of plugs.

We discussed about our duties tomorrow, seeing from the rundown of the event, we will go to the Kintamani area. Then cross the Batur lake and visit the Trunyan Village Traditional Cemetery.

"Tomorrow we are full until afternoon loh, if there are any obstacles cepet share in the group yes. The camera has to be full battery!" hasan said the head of the documentation team.

After finishing the discussion, I returned to the room and saw Ega was busy playing mobile phone while drinking in front of the mirror table.

"Busetdah, not sleep" I said.

"I've tried it anyway just not sleepy" he replied.

Meanwhile, Rani has fallen asleep on the single bed that should have been mine.

"Wake up Rain, tell him to move" said Ega.

"Do not pity me, let me check with you? It's okay, right?" I said.

"Judah is better" he answered.

Ega told me that from earlier my phone rang, thank you I left my phone that I was casing in the room.

I saw Brother Iyas calling me five times. I haven't been preaching since I said that I arrived in Bali this afternoon.

I called him at that time too.

"Oh my goodness, you're just ko ngabarin anyway?" his gerrick.

"I've had a discussion with my team and I've been staying" I said.

"Pantes is very difficult to connect, how was his first day?" tanyakanya.

"Okay, everything's good. I was happy that we were welcomed by the Tourism Office" I replied.

The conversation continued for almost five minutes. Brother Iyas asked me to go to bed immediately with all his lectures asking me to yield to Rani.

"Yes I'm afraid, this is me sleeping with Ega" I replied.

"Good, don't waste energy on him. Yes, I closed. Sleep on!" concluded.

The next day...

I woke up at four in the morning, because a lot of things were bothering me all night. I saw Rani not sleeping and daydreaming. Sometimes he would go into the bathroom and come out again and go in again. I don't know for what reason.

The sound of a running tap made me unable to sleep, not to mention that I was already thinking about solid activities for tomorrow.

Looks like Rani also just really fell asleep around 3 am. Finally, I got up and took a shower and prepared my camera and my little carry-on bag for the day.

An hour later, I pushed myself out of the room.

After I heard the voices of some of my male friends who were chatting in the waiting room next to mine.

"Have you woken up Rain" said Agung.

"Yes haha again diligent, Hanifa's room where the hell is it?" my many.

"To the right of corner number 8A" replied Aji.

I also intend to wake Hanifa and Nunu to their room. Apparently, they have not woken up at all. Iria had a shower.

"Woy get up, 5 o'clock!" my yelling.

They still didn't move at all. Nunu instead comfortably snorted.

I took the water in a glass and splashed it on their faces. I finally managed to wake them up.

"Are you here?" tanya Nunu was astonished.

"I woke up an hour ago and took a shower. Wake up at 5 o'clock" I said.

They were shocked to realize my words and ran to the bathroom.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

We started our journey to Kintamani.

Reading from the results of my search on the internet, Kintamani is one of the highlands that has a fairly low temperature and cold in Bali. There is a famous special animal, the Kintamani dog. As far as I know, there is also a restaurant with a very beautiful view and overlooking the Lake and Mount Batur.

Arriving at Trunyan indigenous village ...............

I'm very curious about the Trunyan Traditional Cemetery. After reading the brief explanation in my guidebook on the trip, he said all the people who died would be naturally buried in Trunyan without being buried in the ground.

His body will only be placed on the ground and then closed in such a way. The question that came to my mind at that time was, was there no foul smell? How many human skulls are there?

One lesson from yesterday I can take from my trip to Bali this time is, people who are mentally not clean like women who are unfortunate, can not enter certain places. Including this traditional Trunyan cemetery.

My female friends who were unable to attend were also just waiting in the village without being able to cross the lake by boat to the cemetery.

How amazed I found tens or even hundreds of human skulls neatly arranged on a high mound of land. And what caught my attention the most was a tall and very large tree towering as if covering the entire area of this cemetery.

Trunyan, taken from two syllables. Tru means tree and Nyan is the name of the tree, most sources say frankincense.

This tree is believed to be hundreds of years old. Looking at the roots and branches of the tree that have spread everywhere. I am interested in hearing the explanation from Mr. Adat Elders who had explained the origin of the tree and the burial place.

I also just realized, from earlier I did not smell at all unpleasant odors or unpleasant smells coming from the corpse. My sense of smell was normal and not disturbed at all.

Mr. Chairman Adat explained that it happened because of the Frankincense Tree. This tree absorbs all kinds of smells in this cemetery area so we will not feel disturbed even if there are bodies that have just been buried there.

Nunu was astonished after seeing how many items that seemed personal scattered on the ground. After he asked, the Customary Chief replied that all people who died fairly in the sense that not the victims of accidents buried here can bring the items he liked during his life first.

"Ah, pantes earlier I saw jewelry even until dinnerware loh" I said.

"Yes Rain, he said that there are coins and favorite clothes" Hanifa replied.

I am so happy to be able to set foot in Trunyan, at least there is new knowledge and knowledge that I can tell my children and grandchildren in the future.
