Echoes In My Heart
Wonderfully
After having breakfast together at a restaurant near the beach, the groups had gathered in their respective buses. They will continue their journey to the second tourist destination, Ratu Boko Temple. The distance from Parangtritis Beach to Ratu Boko Temple will only be reached within 1 hour drive. Ratu Boko Temple is open from 6 am to 5 pm, this area is located on a hill with a height of ±195m above sea level.
“Good morning all,” greet Mr. Asep from the front.
“Good morning,” answer all groups on bus one.
“After breakfast, we will now go to the second tourist destination, Ratu Boko Temple. The journey to Ratu Boko Temple only takes about an hour. So enjoy this second trip,”, said Mr. Asep while brushing his smile.
In the history of the site Ratu Boko is actually not a temple, but the ruins of a kingdom then often called Kraton Ratu Boko which is the palace of Roro Jonggrang's father. Kraton Ratu Boko occupies a fairly large land consisting of several groups of buildings and most of them are currently only ruins.
One hour drive, the group entered the entrance gate of the temple area on foot as far as 100m. Because the road is a little uphill many children who ask to carry their parents. Echoes do not forget to capture the moment when going through that path. There are two gates there, the inner gate and the outer gate. At the inner gate they can see 5 gates lined up parallel to the outer gate and equipped with 3 stairs with ornaments and sculptured with flowers and embroidery patterns. Then they went to Batukapur Temple, Pembokoran Temple, Paseban, Pendapa, Keputren and there is also a Cave located on the hillside of Ratu Boko area. The tourists who are visiting this area can enjoy the beauty of the historical heritage of Indonesia. It looks like children are so fascinated by the scenery presented by the Ratu Boko Temple area. Although a little tiring, they momentarily forget their fatigue that is replaced with an interesting natural treat. Not to forget, each group took pictures together. Alana and her family did not forget to capture the moment.
As they were walking around the temple, Alana accidentally saw Rani approaching Gema who was resting. Rani gives him the bottle, but Gema refuses.
“Mas Echo, surely you are tired huh?” asked Rani in a spoiled tone.
“Eh, Rani. No, I'm not tired, it's still the first day, not how tired,” replied Gema while fiddling with the camera.
“You're thirsty huh? Here's the drink,” said Rani while thrusting her bottle at Gema.
“I've brought Ran, you're the one who drank,” said Gema while rising from his seat.
Alana who was watching the two of them instantly turned her face away. He was so unhappy with Rani who always followed Echoes wherever she went. Alana was looking for another place, she fiddled with her phone. Sometimes he took pictures of himself and shared to his social media account, not forgetting he immortalized the beauty of the Ratu Boko Temple area. He also took photos with his family. They also seemed happy to see all their employees smiling to enjoy this tour. 3 Hours later, they had to return to the bus to continue their journey to the restaurant for lunch. Next to the Breksi Cliff as a third tourist destination located in Sleman, one of the tours that are now a prima donna for tourists. Breksi Cliffs are deposits of volcanic ash eruption of Mount Nglanggran in Gunung Kidul which is an ancient volcano that produces hill morphology as high as 30 meters. Here there is Breksi Cliff Park which is a former place that is transformed into a holiday destination that attracts the world. Some carvings become favorite spots to take pictures for visitors.
The troupe was again presented with a sight so unfamiliar in their eyes. Mr. Alex who was the first time to that place was really fascinated. He praised the tour package made by Gema. It was seen that Gema was photographing the group and Mr. Alex approached him.
“I agree Sir, all Indonesians must come here. The natural beauty of Indonesia is not all exposed. I can only help make the tour package only Mr. Alex,” said Gema. They also walk around the cliff area.
Seen from a distance Alana, Alka, Meta and Bu Anne were taking pictures in one of the stairs at the corner of Breksi Cliff. The other groups were enjoying the beauty of the sunset, the children were still cheerfully as if they forgot their tired because they were too fascinated with the natural treats of Indonesia that not everyone knew about. Breksi cliff is not used as a rock climbing area, because the cliff is carved into decoration for photo spots. There are carvings of puppets, dragons, and stairs that are used as a place to take pictures. Usually this place is also used for art performances, prewedding, and even weddings.
Not feeling the twilight began to approach, Echoes do not forget to capture the orange color in the sky. Then he immediately directed the group to continue the journey to the restaurant. The group orderly entered the bus one by one. The bus was traveling at a moderate speed until half an hour later they had arrived at the restaurant. Dinner with the main menu gudeg typical of Jogja was served for the group Alana Jaya Tekstil. They orderly take food and sit down to enjoy their food while accompanied by Javanese gamelan music that adds to the typical atmosphere of Jogja. Alana seemed confused to choose a seat that looks full, even at her family table was enough for 4 people. Echoes watched Alana who was flailing to the right and to the left. He approached her, and invited her to sit at his desk.
“Alana, you don't get to sit down?” ask Echoes with his plate.
“Eh, Echoes. Yes, the table is full of all,” replied Alana while looking for an empty table.
“Come with me, you eat at my table how?” take Echo to her seat. Alana agreed and walked with the Echoes. Instantly he widened his eyes because Rani was seen sitting with Mr. Asep and others at the table that Echoes towards.
“This is your table?” asked Alana who was reluctant to look at Rani's face in front of her and Rani was surprised when Gema invited Alana to sit at their table.
“Yes, sit down and eat here,” Gema pulls the chair for Alana and she sits in front of Alana.
“Thank you,” said Alana while looking forward to enjoying her dinner.
“Sama-sama,” replied Gema did not forget to singleness smile to make Alana a little nervous to be near him. A pair of cynical eyes were watching them, he was annoyed while stirring up his food.
(Mas Gema does ngajak the girl sitting at our table, I would like to sit together mas Gema, uh first tuh chick, Rani's mind is upset).
