"You fit that shirt. If I don't look like that" Alfan said.


"Mas Alfan also looks good. It's called hanbok, Mas. It's like this wearing it. Let's take full pictures, the costume borrowing time is only given a duration of one hour."


"But not changing costumes anymore, right? Cook yes now in Korean costumes, keep changing Japanese costumes, then change again in Dutch costumes," Alfan protested.


"Please, Mas. I just want to wear hanbok!" seruku responded to Alfan's protest.


Alfan and I enjoyed our walk among the blossoming cherry blossoms. We also took time to take pictures. Because we don't know when else we'll go to this place.


We had the opportunity to enter the hanok, or better known as a traditional Korean house. "Truly similar in Korean drama" I thought. In the hanok, there are several pictures of kings who once led Korea. In addition, there are several types of musical instruments shown. And also a lot of information that I don't know about Korea.


After taking a walk to Korea, we went on a Japanese tour. Of course, we were just walking around in plain clothes, because Alfan refused to wear a kimono. "Ribet" said he. Even so, we still enjoy the atmosphere here.


Like the view in Korea, in Japan there is a cherry blossom tree that welcomes us. There are also traditional Japanese houses with wooden materials. At a glance, the house is very cool because of the many green trees that surround the house. We didn't have time to go there, because Alfan wanted to go to the next place immediately. But I had a photo with the statue of Doraemon and his friends like Nobita and Sizuka. When I was a kid, I loved watching the show that featured the blue and white robot cartoons.


Continue to the next place, namely to the Dutch garden. We were greeted with a vast expanse of tulips with a variety of colors that spoiled our eyes. Starting from the color red, white, yellow, purple, and many more types of tulips are here. At the end of the tulip garden, there is a very large windmill. The typical buildings of the Dutch city lined up, adding to the beauty and splendor of this Dutch garden.


Alfan was unceasingly photographing the beauty of the place we were visiting at the moment. I don't know what the photo was for, but I'm glad he enjoyed the view that this place offers.


"Mas, let's go skating" I asked when I saw many visitors skating at this time.


In this place called Snow World, there is a snow that looks like real. This snow is artificial snow that comes from foreign-made machines. Although the snow here is not the original snow that falls from the sky, but the air here is also no less cold.


A lot of kids and teens are skating, making me want to play too. In addition, there is also a typical house of the north pole in which there are also visitors who are looking around. No less funny, here is also a very large snow puppet. In this place, I felt that I was in another world because of the beauty of the place I was visiting right now.


"Emang you can ice skate? I can't, Fa. I've never tried skating before" Alfan refused.


"So we're just here to look around?" my door is eager to try ice skating like the ones in the dramas I watch.


"Well, if you want, I'll wait here. If you really want to, I'll hire an instructor to teach you. There must be an instructor here, too."


"I want to!" jeritku happy.


I also tried skating with a female instructor. Alfan himself chose a female instructor, because he said that men were afraid of unintentional abuse.


Many times I fell because I was out of balance. Alfan laughed and watched me fall. I felt pain in my hip from a fall. But over time, I was able to master it. I felt happy because without the instructor's help, I could go and stop easily. I saw Alfan was focused on capturing the moment I could ice skate.


Because the clock has shown at seven o'clock at night, we only look at the beauty of the lanterns presented in the garden lanterns. In addition, we also took the time to see a very beautiful and colorful fountain show. With my slightly pushy invitation, we finally got into the greenhouse. As the name suggests, when we enter, we are surrounded with different types of glass that reflect us. In addition, this place is filled with light that is reflected from all sides, making this greenhouse suitable for photo viewing. Me and Alfan did not waste to take pictures together in this place.


"We stopped by the Night Market first yuk, looking for souvenirs for our family. After that we eat, continue to go home," Alfan asked.


I also bought a lot of snacks for my mother at home. I forgot to buy a bag for my mom. Of course, the one who paid for my groceries earlier was not me, but Alfan. I also chose some sovenirs to take Alfan home. I also took the time to buy some clothes that characterize this tourist park.


"Mas, thank you for today. I haven't walked here in a long time. And it turns out this place has many new rides," I said thank you.


"Sama-sama, I am also happy to take a walk with you today. Even the memory of my camera is already full with the photos we took earlier."


"What do the pictures want?" manya curious.


"I'm picky first which is good, then I post on facebook and instagram me," replied Alfan.


"Wahh..what if I find out Elsa and Nela if I run out with Alfan?" my question is in my heart.


"I'd like to ask you for a picture of me. There are still photos of me not in the post as well. Fear later we are suspected of dating," I said reasoned.


"Relax, I know it too. You've got a boyfriend, how dare I post photos of the same boyfriend."


"Uppsm.. This Alfan mas if you like to make my heart dizzy." I feel bad because I still have Dito so confused to answer how.


"Shifa, if your mother gets angry because I gave you back too late what?"


"Let's just be calm, my mother is a good person. Mom won't be angry with you. At most I'll be asked all sorts of things."


"You're telling me to be honest with your mother, yes. I'm sorry to see your mother struggling alone since you were little. It must not be easy to raise you up like this. You must love your mother more, so that you may have His heaven" said Alfan, who suddenly lectured me.


"Yes-yes, Mas. After I graduate from college, I will also try to get a decent job so that my mother does not have to work anymore. Do'ain that I may make my mother happy."


"Well, that's dong, follow my advice that I often say. Your mindset must change, you must pursue your ideals as high as possible even though the ending you will be a housewife."


I did start following the advice Alfan gave me the other day. The more I met Alfan, the more Alfan had a positive influence on me. And one day, I will prove that I can also succeed like him.
