" Assalamu'alaikum" I said slowly as I entered the house
" Wa'alaikumussalam "replies Father and Brother Munggaran who were sitting in the living room while reading the newspaper
" Who's home, Ul ? " ask Dad to me
" Bareng Thoriq Yah" I replied
" Thoriq is your best friend ? " ask Kak Munggaran while looking at me with a glance
" Yes Brother "
Hearing us talk, Grandma from my father's side came straight to us.
" Why ? " tanyanya
" This said Aulia she went home with her little best friend" explained Dad.
" Oh ! Where does he live ? " ask Grandma to me
" Near this house is Grandma !" answer me
" Who...! Very lucky you Ul "cock Kak Munggaran
" Good dong, so there's something you need "dad's timpal
" Hehe... Yes Yes Yes ! " reply with me while smiling

After lunch and rest for a few minutes, I went out on the porch looking around.
The wind was blowing all over my face. Peace... ! Truly peaceful... !
Bondowoso is a very peaceful city compared to Sidoarjo. Yes.. , because in this place noise is very rare, very much different from in other cities.
When I was engrossed - excited to see - look around, suddenly I was surprised by the voice of Thoriq who called me.
" Aulia... ? "
I turned my head and found that Thoriq was smiling. He came out of his yard and approached me.
I returned his smile as well, saying
" Eh, Hy Riq ! Come in here "call me kindly
" It's really fun, Ul, look at the atmosphere of Bondowoso. Hehe ! " thoriq said with a small laugh and sat down next to me
" Yes Riq, so peaceful "my chimps with a smile
" Yes.., Bondowoso is different from other cities Ul ! Oh yes, for a moment you want to not walk with me while looking at the atmosphere of Bondowoso city closer ? " said Thoriq
I was immediately tempted by Thoriq's offer, but there was one thing that worried me. I'm afraid I wasn't given permission by my parents, let alone this is my first time to Bondowoso.
I just turned my head while looking at Thoriq with a glance, then turned my gaze in the other direction and fell silent for quite a while.
" Aulia...? " the call of Thoriq breaks my daydream
" Eh, Iya Riq "reached me and looked at her straight away
" Why...? Wanna not ? " he asked while looking at me with a serious face
I took a deep breath and tried to calm my mood. Then I said
" Hm... How about Riq ? I'm afraid I'm not allowed to be with my parents" I said slowly
" Aulia, just calm down ! It's me, it must be permitted to "reply with Thoriq casually
I just fell silent.
' Yeah... True also what Thoriq said, Thoriq has long been trusted by both my parents and Kak Munggaran to always look after and accompany me when I myself ' thought I
" Thoriq Aulia said, just go with him. My father permits you "said Father who arrived - suddenly appeared from the door
" Assalamu'alaikum Om" Thoriq said politely as he kissed my father's hand
" Eh, Hy Riq, you've "replied Dad while gently patting Thoriq's shoulder
Thoriq just smiled knot.
" Oh yes Riq, wait a minute ya "my words and only reply nod by Thoriq
πΊπΊπΊ
Arrive - arrive...
" The man who was your best friend Ul ? " ask my aunt
" Yes Tan "reply me with a smile and nimblely make a dish for both men :)
" So much, are you guys dating ? " say
" Uh... Not really Aunt. Since childhood, we have been fighting "my objection
" Oh, your hearts ! " said Aunt cynically as she passed
I just shook my head and tried to be patient. For some reason, I began to feel the unpleasant atmosphere in this house. My Tante attitude was not warm at all when I saw the closeness of me and Thoriq.
πππ
" Hello Well, Riq ! The dish was tasted first yes. "my words while putting two glasses of warm tea and setoples of taro chips typical of Sidoarjo City.
" Eh Ul.., don't bother" said Thoriq
" Gapapa Riq, see I bought taro chips typical of the city of Sidoarjo yesterday. Have you never tasted it again ? " clearly me with a smile
" Nah, let's taste Riq, it's far away you know Aulia bring your favorite food here "tip Dad with a big smile
" Geez... If so thank you, Ul "reply Thoriq with a smile knot
After we talked for a long time, it did not feel the time had shown at 15:00. After performing the Ashar prayer, Thoriq and I walked - the road saw the city of Bondowoso.
Along the way, I carefully listened to Thoriq's story about the town of Bondowoso. Thoriq told me a lot about the city dubbed 'Horse Poultice' this. He also revealed some reasons why the city is quite cool, he said it was all because Bondowoso City is between the North Kendeng mountains with the peak of Mount Raung, he said, Mount Ijen and so on to the east and the foot of the mountains of Hyang with the peak of Mount Argopuro, Mount Krincing and Mount Kilap to the west. While in the north there is Mount Alas Sereh, Mount Biser and Mount Bendusa.
I was amazed to hear all the words of Thoriq.
" Whoa...! It's amazing! " i said with great enthusiasm
" obvious! So when - when to go on an adventure with me" said Thoriq
" It must be exciting ! " return me
We continued walking while enjoying the beautiful afternoon in the city of Bondowoso. With a breeze that blows like a breeze that instantly makes me bewitched with the beauty of this city.
" Oh yeah... If we are from here, guess how long new nyampe in the plaza Bondowoso "question to Thoriq
" About 39 minutes ? " answer
I just nodded.
Because we were equally - as crazy as adventurers, we ended up just walking to the plaza Bondowoso.
There must be many readers who think
' Not tired yet ? ' . The answer is no ! Because Thoriq and I enjoyed every step of our foot and what we went through on the road.
Sometimes I meet people who are adventurous, but they want to quickly get to the destination. And that's why they don't enjoy every precious moment they encounter. Of course, believe not believe because it also makes them tired quickly.
πππ
" Aren't you tired of Ul ? " ask Thoriq to me
" No Riq, are you tired ? Want to rest first ? " return me
" Not Ul, just don't have the same heart as you. A long way to the Bondowoso square" Thoriq said as he looked at me seriously
" Oh my goodness, Riq, what a gap. I am ordinary ! " my ideal
" Seriously ? "
" Ih, seriously ! Gini yes Riq, I have one key so we do not get tired quickly when adventuring "strictly me while looking at Thoriq's face
" What is that ? " task Thoriq with a curious look
" Nah... If we do not want soy sauce, we basically enjoy every step of our feet. Enjoy everything we meet on the road. Never go fast - fast to the goal ! Because believe me with all that, which will make us tired quickly "clear me while looking fixed Thoriq's face
" Who...! Like a reliable adventurer, you are very cool to say ! " thoriq said with admiration
" Hehe...It's Riq, but I've never been home.Newly this time "my timpalku with a grin
" Be calm, Ul, I will not let your knowledge return is just a science. Anyway, later you have to come with me on an adventure " cried Thoriq
I just laughed in response to Thoriq. That day, for the first time I went on an adventure with my best friend. Enjoy every step of our foot and what we encounter on the road.
