Chapter 1: The Unexpected Meeting
Sulis walked with heavy steps in the middle of the busy big city. He was tired after a long day at the office. Sulis tried to calm herself down by singing her favorite song. However, fatigue and boredom are getting harder to overcome.
Suddenly, a young man with a cheerful face and casual clothes flashed in front of Sulis. The man looked so attractive to Sulis with his cheerfulness. Sulis was curious about the man and decided to approach him.
"Have we met before?" asked Sulis with a curious look.
The man smiled and replied, "No, I don't think we've met before. I am Ahmad, nice to meet you."
Sulis returned Ahmad's smile and replied, "I'm Sulis, equally happy to meet you. What brings you
Ahmad explained that he had just moved to this big city to find a job and seek new experiences. He admitted that although new to the city, he felt enthusiastic and eager to go on a new adventure.
Sulis was intrigued by Ahmad's story and asked, "Are you not afraid or worried about living a new life in this city?"
Ahmad shook his head steadily, "Actually, of course there is fear and worry in my heart. But I believe that with determination and strong hope, I can overcome all the challenges that exist. A new sheet of hope always gives me encouragement."
Sulis was inspired by Ahmad's words. He realized that the fatigue and boredom he felt could be overcome by having strong hope and passion. The two of them continued to talk and share their stories about their lives and dreams.
In their conversation, Sulis also found that Ahmad had the same hobby as himself, namely painting. They agreed to visit an art gallery together on Sunday.
The novel "Hope Sheet" tells the story of Sulis and Ahmad's journey in facing the challenges of life and how they support each other to achieve their dreams.
A few weeks after Sulis' meeting with Ahmad, Sulis saw a large poster posted on his campus. The poster was titled "Sheets of Hope: Finding Positive Energy in Every Challenge of Life". Sulis felt interested to attend the event and decided to invite Ahmad.
as planned, the two of them met in front of the hall where the event was held. Sulis and Ahmad shook hands with smiles.
Sulis: Ahmad, it is very nice that we can be present at this event together. I'm very curious about what we'll learn about this Hope Sheet.
Ahmad: Yes, I am also very interested. I hope this event can give us positive energy to face all the challenges of our lives.
Sulis: That's right. We will learn a lot of interesting things. Oh, look at that poster! There is a schedule for the event. First, there is a motivational speaker who will provide an initial briefing on the meaning of the Hope Sheet. Then, there are group discussion sessions to share experiences and structure expectations for our future.
Ahmad: Well, that sounds very interesting. I really hope to be able to discuss with people who have different views and experiences. Maybe we can get new inspiration to achieve our dreams.
Sulis: Right. After that, there is a creativity workshop to hone positive thinking skills and find innovative solutions in dealing with problems. And lastly, there will be meditation sessions to calm the mind and gain inner peace.
Ahmad: A meditation session will definitely be very beneficial for relieving stress and improving peace of mind. I've wanted to try meditation for a long time, but never had the chance.
Sulis: We are lucky to have this opportunity. I'm sure this event will greatly benefit us. Come on, let's go inside the hall and prepare ourselves for the first session.
Ahmad: Well, let's start our new adventure towards a sheet of hope filled with positive energy. I hope this event will help both of us to achieve all our dreams.
