WAITING FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL

Chapter 2: waiting for something special

Sulis sat alone on a park bench, looking at the trees growing lush around him. His eyes looked hopeful, as if he was waiting for something special. Suddenly, Ahmad came to him.

Ahmad: "Hi Sulis, how are you?"

Sulis: "Hi Ahmad, good news. Enjoy the atmosphere in this park. How about you Ahmad: Alhamdulillah good too. This park is beautiful. So green and peaceful. What's up, Sulis? It seems you are waiting for something.

Sulis: Yeah, I'm actually waiting for something special. I just sent a CV for my dream job. But until now there has been no news.

Ahmad: Wow, your dream job? This is very important to you, yes. May you soon have good news and realize your hopes.

Sulis: Yes, I really hope to get this job. I've waited long enough for an opportunity like this. I want to give my best and achieve my dreams.

Ahmad: It must be hard to wait, but believe me, if you have tried earnestly, the result will come in time. Don't be discouraged, Sulis. Keep being patient and keep hoping for the best.

Sulis: Thank you, Ahmad. You always give me encouragement and support. True to your words, I must keep trying and not give up. May this hope be real for us.

Ahmad: I'm sure you'll make it, Sulis. Your happiness and success should be earned. Stay strong and confident in your own abilities.

Sulis: I thank you for having a friend like you, Ahmad. Your support and motivation mean a lot to me. I hope we can support each other and achieve our dreams together.

Ahmad: Of course, Sulis. We will support each other and share our happiness. Come on, we keep fighting and nurturing hope within ourselves. Who knows, our dreams will come true sooner than we imagine.

Sulis: Yes, agreed. I believe with determination and hard work, we can achieve all our dreams. Thank you, Ahmad, for your spirit. Let us continue to hope and fight for our dreams together.

Sure, here's the connection!

Ahmad: Sulis, have you done anything other than holding Hmm, to be honest, actually I just started talking about other things. But it's okay, let's connect again.

Ahmad: Sulis, have you done anything other than waiting at home all day?

Sulis: Of course, Ahmad. Although I had to spend most of my time at home because of this pandemic situation, I still tried to stay productive. I have tried several new activities and explored various hobbies that I had never done before. For example, I started learning to cook even more and tried new recipes every week.

I also started gardening in my backyard. I grow a variety of vegetables and take care of them with care. This not only makes my yard look greener and more beautiful, but it also gives me great satisfaction when it comes to harvesting and cooking with my own garden produce.

I also spend time reading books. I have a list of books I've wanted to read for a long time, but there's always a reason to delay. This pandemic gave me valuable free time to really dive into the books. I found myself fascinated with the various stories and new knowledge I gained.

In addition, I also give my time to do physical exercise at home. Even though the gym and fitness center were closed, I still regularly exercise at home. I took an online exercise class and used simple tools that were at home to stay in good physical shape. I feel healthier and more energetic every day.

In addition to doing these activities, I also more intensively communicate with family and friends through video calls and text messages. Although I could not meet in person, interacting with the people nearby made me feel connected and not alone.

So, even though I have to stay home all day, I keep trying to make my time worthwhile and stay productive. I see this situation as an opportunity to enrich myself and develop new skills. I hope this pandemic is over soon, but I also hope that we can all bring positive learning and personal development from this experience.

Sure, here's the connection!

Ahmad: Sulis, have you been running social activities or suk Ahmad: Sulis, have you been running social activities or volunteering lately?

Sulis: Yes, Ahmad. In fact, I just took part in a social activity in the neighborhood a few days ago. We formed a volunteer group to clean and tidy up the long-unmaintained city park.

Ahmad: Ahmad: Oh, that sounds very good, Sulis! Tell me more details about the activity.

Sulis: Sure, Ahmad. So, we started the activity on Saturday morning. There were about 15 volunteer members who joined our group. We gathered at the city park at 8am with cleaning equipment and other cleaning tools.

Ahmad: It's amazing! What are you guys doing next?

Sulis: After we got together, we made a task plan. There are several areas that need to be cleaned and renovated, including garbage cleaning, replanting dead trees, and repairing damaged benches. We split the group into teams to work on different tasks.

Ahmad: Then, how long will it take to complete the activity, Sulis?

Sulis: We worked for about four hours. Although the weather was rather hot, our spirits did not recede in the slightest. Each team works hard, helping each other and working together. Not long after, the city park looks more neat and clean.

Ahmad: I am sure the local people are very grateful for your contribution, Sulis. Was there a positive reaction from them?

Sulis: Of course, Ahmad. Many people from the local community approached us during our work and thanked us for our efforts. They felt happy to see the city park that had long been abandoned to be beautiful again. Some even offer their help for upcoming volunteer activities.

Ahmad: That's very inspiring, Sulis. Do you have plans to continue social activities in the future?

Sally: Yes, of course. After the event, we discussed our plans for the future. We plan to make this social activity a routine activity. We want to focus on the maintenance of the city park and also conduct an environmental awareness campaign to the local community.

Ahmad: That was a great plan, Sulis. I am sure your efforts will have a positive impact on the community and the environment. Good luck in continuing your social activities!

Sulis: Thank you, Ahmad! We look forward to continuing to contribute to the good of society with these social activities.
