Lumiatia

Beautiful views accompanied our trip. I'm fascinated by the painting of the universe on this planet. All I saw from the window was a panorama of green and colorful flowers. Real beautiful. It turns out the world is very wide. I, who was just a home child before, am now amazed at the beauty that nature has to offer.

I got a chair next to the window. My mom and dad sat next to me. The train has three seats on the right and two on the left. Our journey

it takes about five hours to travel.

Clearly visible bright blue sky. I looked at him from the window. Birds flew and a cool breeze blew through the slightly open window. I could only look at the sky and recall the events I had experienced before.

“I won't be long..” murmured me slowly with my palm stuck to the train window.

Then I spent my travel time sleeping on the train. With a break, maybe I will be ready to explore the city of Lumiatia before proceeding to the metropolis. Then I woke up. Shortly after I woke up there was the sound of a notification that the train was soon arriving in Lumiatia.

After we arrived at Lumiatia station. We went down with our bags. We immediately headed to an inn not far from the airport using Pinishi. Pinishi is a public transportation that uses a three-wheeled vehicle called Triklyo. The mainstay of Lumiatia is often found in public places, such as stations, airports, lodging places, and others.

As we boarded the vehicle I asked the driver.

“Kalo can know. What is this vehicle? I just saw it for the first time,” I was curious.

“Name Triklyo. A three-wheeled vehicle with one front wheel and two rear wheels like you saw earlier. First time here, huh?” his reply explained to me while riding and watching the road.

“Iya. Just this time,” I replied.

“Kalo so welcome to Lumiatia. A city that never sleeps. A crowded city but very safe. People say you can throw your money out the window and you can still find it the next day where you throw it. People also call it the second metropolitan city after Centra,” the driver explained to us.

I saw buildings behind the window. A crowded yet orderly atmosphere. There are many activities being done in this city. People dressed neatly and came out of tall buildings. The park is more spacious and beautiful and crowded with children. Interesting places to visit at all times. From the intersection I saw many children who were circling the city on bicycles.

Shortly after, we almost arrived at the inn. From here it has been seen a magnificent building that is nothing but an airport. There were already the sounds of the humming of an airplane passing above us.

We also arrived at the inn. My father paid the driver not to forget his tip. After that we entered the building.

Elegant chandeliers, walls filled with motifs and floors covered with marble. That's the first thing I saw when I entered the building. I was so excited to see the luxury in this building. In the front room of the building there are several women who stand behind his desk with the position of both palms and fingers touching each other. They welcomed our arrival.

“Whatever what they do there?”

In my mind was astonished. But I just followed my father and my mother to where they were. When we approached her, one of the women spoke.

“Welcome to Amethyst Inn. We will always serve you with a luxurious and elegant quality. We will also give you a fun and enjoyable experience

forgotten,” said one of the women.

Then my father replied to him again nodding a smile and giving a paper that I did not know myself. Then the woman gave him a key and my father rushed to the room.

“Come, Son,” said my father while holding the key that was just given.

We walked to the room. Then I asked.

“Woman who is it, Yah?”  many wonder.

“They are receptionists. Serving guests who want to stay here.”

Then my father explained all the ins and outs about the inn and its servants. I just found out now. So far there's a lot I don't know at all.

“Maybe I should go out and see the wider world.”

That word came into my head. I don't want to be a child. I want to get out there, see the whole thing out there. There's a lot I don't know.

When we arrived at the room corresponding to the one in the key number, we immediately went in and put down all our luggage. It feels so good. I who had rested before on the train did not feel like sleeping now, especially now it is still afternoon and the sky is very bright. After taking a break for a moment to let go of a little tired, I asked my father for permission to go for a walk out around the inn.

“Dad, can I go look around the city?” I wish I were allowed.

“You can be on your guard, right?” ask dad.

“Alright if that's what you want. Take good care of yourself,” replied my father who allowed me to go out of the inn.

I who was weaning then opened the door knob of the room and rushed away.

“Back before dark, son!” exclaim my father who raised his tone.

“OK!” I was ready to run to the elevator.

Then I ran towards the elevator excitedly. I want to spend my time getting to know this city a little bit. We stayed at this hotel overnight, then continued with our trip by plane tomorrow.

I entered the elevator. Shortly after the door closed, a waiter ran towards me pushing his food trolley. Then the door that was almost completely closed I opened again. But because the waiter was running fast enough, his feet tripped over the floor carpet and happened near the elevator door. I helped him and tidied up his little scattered baggage. Luckily it was just a spoon, fork, and apron and no one was hurt.

“Thank you very much,” said the waiter.

I replied with a smile. Then the elevator doors closed and moved down towards the ground floor. The waiter who was tidying up his uniform and luggage were slightly scrambled, then asked me.

“New first time to this city?” the waiter asked smiling.

“Iya. I am from the village and want to go to Centra,” I replied and returned his smile.

“That metropolitan city? You want to find work, huh?” the waiter asked curiously.

“No. We moved because of my father's job,” I replied while slightly shaking my head.

“Sweetest. I heard there's going to be a massive job acceptance there. If you're smart, you can be the manager of a big company,” said the waiter.

I just smiled and looked at the elevator position instructions now. We soon arrived on the ground floor. Me and the waiter chatted together and got acquainted.

The elevator did not reach the ground floor. The sound of an elevator bell ringing indicates the elevator has stopped on the destination floor. The elevator door opened and we walked out of the elevator. Before me and the waiter parted, he asked me what I was doing. I replied that I only wanted to see these cities for a moment. After that he thanked me for the previous incident and we parted and the waiter left me behind.

I who was still in front of the elevator was still amazed by the beauty of this building. Step slowly, watching the surroundings filled with marble and paintings. Then I reached the front room and saw the waiter again at the reception desk.

“Nak, you want to look around the city, right?” ask the waiter when I want to get through.

“Iya,” answer.

“Good. Come, follow me,” reply and take me out of the building to where Pinishi is waiting.

“You can use this for free. I asked my boss and he accepted my offer. You got special service for today, son,” said the waiter as he opened the door to me.

“Really? I owe you so much,” reply I'm surprised but happy together.

“No problem. Think of it as a return for helping me,” he said and smiled at me.

The first time I stayed here I was so grateful to him and so happy. I can walk around the city without much energy.

“Oh yes. Since you're just the first time, I told the driver to take you on a city tour and you could get off at the places you're going later,” the waiter added before I walked.

“Good. Thank you very much!” my reply is full of joy.

Then I was taken by the driver who would take me on a small tour around the city.

“Call me Goi,” said the driver to me.

“Malka. Greetings!” my reply.
