Papi won't let his daughter go on vacation. Though tears have flowed. He ran sobbing to his room.
"Buy papi! bummer!!!"
Mardo hit his pillow. It's free, Papi won't change his decision.
While Mami could not help and change her husband's decision.
If Papi says no, it's forever unchanged. Hard papi.
Full of sadness he told Vana.
"I-I can't come with you guys on vacation. My dad won't let."
Vana fell silent, trying to comfort Mardo.
"Patience, we'll find a way to get Papi to let you, I'll tell Richi first."
Vana closes the phone. He's confused. It is precisely Richi invites to go on vacation because Mardo. All this time where Richi ever take his friends on vacation. Richi became generous because of Mardo. What makes Vana, Zam-zam, Rossy, Betty, Sarah Lee and Halima anxious. Excitement, dimmed for a moment.
Richi is dizzy thinking about how to convince Mr. Wijaya. He couldn't sleep all night thinking about the man. He and his friends went to the office and went home. Precisely Papi was increasingly was, his daughter went on vacation with boys. They're all the same age. Papi doubts they can take care of each other. Mardo for Papi is his little girl who can't be far from him. Mardo's safety is paramount.
There is no other way but to ask Papi to talk to Mr. Wijaya.But the problem is whether Papi wants to? Who knows it worked. He should try it. The next morning Richi approaches Papi, who is having breakfast.
"Pi, can you help Richi, right?"
The handsome and dignified man looked at his son.
"Please what? papi's origin could be Papi's help."
"It could be Pi, it's easy."
Richi recounted his turmoil these few days. Papi was shaking his head. This is not a matter of vacation, but a great responsibility to the children of people invited to go. Papi tries to clear the moral burden of taking people with him. But Richi can be sure that he and his friends will take care of each other. A disaster or anything can happen and befall anyone if it is fate. Even in bed.
Papi's speechless. Richie said what he said. Don't be afraid of something, as long as it's good. Death can happen even when you are asleep. Finally, Papi smiled. He will try to talk to Mr. Wijawa, later in the afternoon they have a schedule to play tennis.
"Thank you Pi."
Richi stood up and approached the handsome man and kissed him.
"I'm counting on Papi."
"Ready!"
Papi smiled and ruffled his beloved son's hair. In the evening Papi told that Pak Wijawa allowed his son to go on vacation, on the condition of keeping his daughter during the holidays until returning to the exotic city.
Richi can hardly believe it, "Serius Pi? Mardo allowed his papa to go on vacation?"
"Alhamdulillah, yuhuu! mardo finally got permission to go on vacation."
"Horay!"
Everyone was shouting with joy. They finally went on vacation. On Sunday tomorrow the boys leave by boat for Merauke city. Fill and spend time during school holidays. With close and familiar friends. Richi is so happy. His smile was broken and his eyes were shining brightly.
"Mardo, I will show you my beautiful world, I love you."
Richi biting her lips held back a smile. His face gushed into redness, he blushed slender.
"Thank you Papi."
Somehow Papi did. Could Papi have said the same thing? that if there really is misfortune and so on, it could be anywhere. Even in bed. What an amazing word. Makes nothing to be afraid of in this world.
In the morning everyone packed up and rushed to the port. A large, sturdy and towering ship was leaning. Several crew members worked to arrange and put goods into the ship. Passengers take turns to board. A group after a group. They carry goods and bags containing necessities while on the ship.
Once on board the passengers find a comfortable place for them. The journey to the destination is not short. Eat for days. The ship's owner had thought about it. There are many places for passengers. There is a large room that can hold hundreds
passengers. Large sofas are scattered to relax and enjoy the view. Cafe, retail, where to watch movies and sports venues.
Above the pier on a corner there are Betty, Rose, Sarah Lee and Halima. They agreed to come to the port together. The girls wear brightly colored t-shirts and jean pants. Halima is also cool. On his neck hangs glasses. I don't know where he got the idea of carrying those glasses. A step further, Sarah Lee commented.
"That's Richi and Sulaiman."
Betty pointed at the two men who got out of the car. They were dragging a big suitcase.
"Hi, Richi ! we're here!"
Betty and the others waved. Until Richi sees them and joins soon.
"Mardo, Vana and the others haven't come yet."
"Now that's Husen Rumadau and William."
"Mardo hasn't come yet?"
They looked at each other, Mardo and Vana had not yet come. All were tense, afraid that Papi Mardo would revoke the permission he had given. Change ones mind.
"Let me call."
Zamzam mediates while running to a public phone. He called Mardo's house. Mangara who raised and said that Mardo had departed between Papi and Pat. Soon Zam-zam tells me that Mardo's on his way. They were quiet hearing it. Sure enough, not long after a car entered the dock. Car door open.
"Mardo!"
His friends screamed and waved. Mardo turned and waved back. He came out the right door. Along with Vana also came out from the sebrang. They both waited for the suitcase. The driver came out to help lower the. Papi and Pat also came out looking at the atmosphere of the harbor. Then look at Mardo and Vana. He breathed.
"Be careful, son, you are also Vana. Pay attention and take care of each other."
Still terrified of letting go of her daughter. But Mardo quickly convinced.
"I'll take care of myself as best I can of Pi, Vana too."
Mardo kissed Papi's hand, as well as Pat's sister's cheek.
"Don't forget the souvenirs for me."
Patricia shouted and smiled sweetly.
"Yes, just calm down."
The two then moved to where friends gathered and waited. Richi welcomes and he does not forget to greet Papi and thank him for allowing Mardo to vacation with him. Papi nodded.
"Thank you for letting Mardo go on vacation with us sir."
A whistle was heard, a sign that soon the ship lifted the anchor. They waved their hands and one by one got on the ship.
"Bismil was bornohmanirrohim, this is my first time aboard a ship, my heart is pounding so fiercely."
Mardo once again turned to Papi and his younger brother Pat. He waved his hand. Their suitcases have been taken care of by employees who will serve and help the children. Zamzam led his friends into the ship. Next the boys. Richi and Sulaiman most recently. While Papi and Pat take a walk watching everything in the harbor. Mami said that someone was selling tuna so Papi bought it. Mami will cook grilled tuna.
After shoving the suitcases and belongings in the room, Mardo rushed out. The big ship started moving. Little by little the ship moved away. The figure of Patricia and Papi and everyone became small. Mardo held onto the wall of the ship and leaned there. Sad to leave Papi and Pat at the dock.So at home Mami worried about him. Never before has Mardo gone this far alone. It means no family with him. Papi assures me that everything will be fine. Their daughter is already big and can take care of herself.
Yup, this was my first adventure trip. It must be fun and a lot of experience.
Mardo, smiling, he believes this holiday trip will not be in vain. It will take a lot of interesting experiences. He did not know at the pier Pat was sulking because he could not take a boat ride.
"But, if Pat will be as big as brother Mardo can also go on a boat ride."
"Of course, as long as someone takes care of you."
Pat smiled, Papi asked him to find tuna order Mami.
Mardo was choked, the dock was no longer visible. All these days are waves and waves. Are they in the middle of the ocean? Once again Mardo stared at the pier. All it looks is the white foam that slaps the ship. As far as the eye can see only the ocean surrounds
"O Lord, I am now in the midst of Your great sea."
Mardo clenched his lips feeling both astonished and scared.
"Hei Do, we're going to yuk's room."
Mardo looked at Vana who was looking for him.
"Yes Van, you go first. I'll be here soon."
Mardo replied with a smile, asking for his friend's understanding.
"Ok, well, this is the first time he has boarded a ship, he must be amazed."
Vana nodded her head. Mardo was still looking at the sea foam, which was against the wall of the ship. The sound of crashing waves that slap has its own sensation.
