- Learn to swim while you have time, because one day we never know when we will be forced to swim
may 21st, may,
Saturday morning was not as bright as Risa's heart. While putting her clothes in a large suitcase, Risa is worried about what her parents have planned for her love life.
She must be willing to accept her father's decision to marry Rega. He could force his mouth to say yes, but his heart was very hard to rebel.
But seeing the sadness of her mother's heart, Risa could not do anything. For a time, Risa will follow the plot of her father and see the situation ahead.
He'll get the job he wanted all along. At least there was a little bit of joy in him. And if you think of Rega, it might just be his thoughts that are too negative on Rega.
"Don't forget to call my mom when you get to town". Hugging Risa tightly as if she did not want to be released.
Her mother strongly believed that this was the right decision for Risa's happiness even though her heart was heavy to let go of her child and remember how Risa cried in her arms.
What makes her mother feel calm is that she believes in Rega who will make Risa happy.
The bus horn Risa boarded rang three times indicating the bus will leave soon, all passengers gave up longing and haru with family.
Risa stared at her mother and father who were disappearing from her sight, unknowingly a tear dripping from the end of her beautiful eyes with her golden brown eyeballs. Sad to leave his mother, to leave his hometown.
He thought a small wallet from inside his bag containing a headset, paired on his cellphone.
While closing her eyes, Risa listened to the strains of country songs playing, slowly erasing her sadness.
The sound of music from his headset beat the strains of other music genres that filled the bus room played by the driver.
The bus is light but will arrive at the port exactly 2 hours after departure.
Buses with a load of about 30 people with all the convenient facilities such as AC, comfortable toilets, Telivisi and luggage large enough to store the luggage of the passengers make the trip very comfortable, 2 Hours does not mean anything to arrive at the port.
Every now and then Risa opened her eyes staring at the trees as if running on the left and right side of the bus. Think about how life is in the city. Think about what it would be like and what if it met Rega. There was a plan in his brain not to see Rega first. He will try to find a job with his own efforts. Yeah, he thought, it'd better be like that.
Risa then imagines finding a job to her liking. Imagine how he would look wearing a shirt, with an identity card hanging around his neck. Being in the room with air conditioning, greeting each other with other employees, going to lunch at cafes around the office with a variety of food menus that he had never met before, and the day when his work was appreciated.
He will visit tourist attractions, picnics, and all the pleasant shadows.
Risa smiled with her daydream.
The driver began to change the music into a film, a comedy film.
Some of the passengers were heard laughing, some passengers were seen closing their eyes either asleep or forcing them to sleep. Some are heard struggling to force the contents of his stomach to come out.
Slowly Risa forgets her sadness and enjoys the first trip away from her hometown.
The sound of the horn of a very large and long ferry was heard from inside the Bus, indicating that the Bus had arrived at the port.
Not only the Bus Risa boarded, but many other Buses arrived and entered the queue.
Risa stared at the stranger, this was new to her. It's new to go wandering away from the parents, riding the Bus across the island, and of course the new thing to cross with a big Ferry that he's never seen before.
Queuing buses slowly advance into the bridge area towards the Ferry boat parking area. Busy passengers seriously noticed the ABK of the ship arranging all the rigging that hooked between the ship and the port backrest, so that the buses could enter safely.
The passengers were slightly jolted as the Bus passed over the bridge between the Ferry and the port.
The bus runs very slowly following the cues of some ABKs.
Risa immediately pecked the music, took off the headset and put it back on.
He looked out at the bus, saw the ocean he would wander with the Ferry in front of him. Then gazed down, the ocean coming into direct contact with the ship.
Risa was very amazed to see the view of the sea water below which is very clear. The fish swam as if undisturbed with a huge iron floating around them. The small black fish and some colorful small fish, swimming in groups, swirling very beautifully.
What amazes him even more is that some children are really good at swimming among the fish. Children living around the port. Swimming around the ship is prohibited. It is dangerous to swim between large Ferry ships with sharp propellers. But of course the kids are better than the fish. They waited for the passengers to throw coins into the sea, and they simultaneously chased the coins that were sinking to the bottom of the sea.
After one of the lucky ones catches the coin, all return to the surface of the water waiting for the next coin. It was very comforting to the passengers and made the hearts of the children happy.
When the bus is parked according to the direction of ABK, the drivers turn off the bus engine and start opening the door.
Bus passengers began to scatter up the steps of the Ferry to the resting place that is provided a lot.
Risa who never had experience riding the Ferry did not show the slightest rigidity, she just tried to calm down and randomly follow the steps of people. The first person he followed was a middle-aged man, their feet stepping up the stairs towards the resting floor. Jostling towards a room containing about 6 rows of benches as at the bus stop.
Instantly Risa fell silent, she felt this place was not suitable for her then turned her body to look for the next place. An old woman followed him to a more enclosed room, this room reserved for people who wanted to sleep. The spacious room without a partition, people could sleep anywhere next to anyone, of course it was not suitable for him.
He followed a girl to a room that looked more comfortable with high sofas that were more closed. finally Risa decided to rest on one of the sofas at the back end while waiting for 4 hours of sailing which seemed like it would be very long.
