Aldo Churches in South Korea

"Hey, Mousou Wota!" exclaim Kimi. "The immigration authorities should call me. They say your fate has been determined: you must return to Indonesia. So you can not expect you can be sent to the tour committee to Japan. And that too has become the procedure and the rule, they say."

Well, Aldo's fate is already determined. It's only in Korea, at least, until the Christmas break is over. Two days after Christmas, he had to be deported to Indonesia. There is also no hope that Korean immigration authorities will bother to send Aldo to the tour committee to Japan. 

Aldo became languidly staring at the cross engraved on the altar of the church of Hannam First Presbyterian Church. In fact, to be honest, this man hopes that Korean immigration will meet with the tour committee. So, at least Christmas and new year holidays are not in vain. His dream to Japan and meet Minami Takahashi was fulfilled. 

But what power. The decision of the Korean immigration authorities is like that. They are representatives of the South Korean government. She can what? Time to fight? Well that could be big news, both in Korea and in Indonesia. It could be that the netizens will be so rude to fuss a story of a young Indonesian who was so strong against the Korean immigration just to be able to meet his idol in Japan. That crazy thing. 

By the way, about the church where he was going to celebrate the Christmas Eve service, Aldo was quite amazed. The church, located on 726-39 Hannam-dong, Seoul, is quite unique. At least for Aldo. The church building is like an office building with a cross like an upside-down sword that is a sign that the building is indeed a church. Although it looks narrow, the fact does not make people so flocked to visit the church to celebrate the birth of Christ. 

It turns out that Christmas celebrations in Korea are not much different from the atmosphere of Christmas in Indonesia. The arrangement of the show is also different. Here, Seoul means, there is also a candle light service. The length of worship is also not much different, which is about an hour and a half. It could even be two hours. The difference, perhaps much more pronounced, is that it is the language. Aldo's head was dizzy seven circumference saw the hangul strokes in his show book. So little Latin writing. At least on the front page, in the name of the church and its address, plus big words: "CHRISTMAS NIGHT MASS 24TH DECEMBER 2014". 

"Hey, Mousou Wota," exclaimed Kimi who patted her on the shoulder from behind. 

Snorted. "Stop calling me that. I have a name. My name is Marcellius Aldo Timothy Tanuwijaya. Just call me Aldo."

Chuckles. "Whateverb. I'd rather call you that. And try you shift a little, I'd rather sit on the sidelines."

While Aldo shifted to the right, another member of the Kimi family came in and sat to the right of the man. Everything compact said to him: "Jeulagaeun krismas doeseyo" which was soon converted into "Merry christmas" due to the protest of their eldest son, Kim Sarang. She said: "Eomma, Appa, Succhan, this guy doesn't speak Korean. Don't forget that."

Eomma immediately said, "You seem to care so much about Aldo-ssi. You like her?" 

"Eoseo-who's right, Eomma? He is younger than me. Prestigious dating a younger man." protested Kimi, to which Eomma immediately replied, "But your Eomma is much older than Appa," and the offended party chuckled. 

"Hey, Mousou Wota," the reprimanded Kimi who immediately grinned the concerned. "Yes, yes, gomen'nasai, Aldo-kun. I wasn't intentional."

"What purposely? I think you have a great hobby to cheat on me." Aldo murmured. 

"Just kidding" Kimi said. "I think you're also the most sensitive Indonesian I've ever met." When he was grinned again, Kimi immediately said, "OK, okay, I'm sorry. I'm tired of hurting you too. It's Christmas Eve, too. We should share Christmas, right?"

Aldo began to slowly smile.

"Well, that smile is so good. Besides, I've seen you restless and moody. What was? You're moody about not being able to understand Korean in the slightest?"

"Yes one of them because of that. But what makes me so moody is that I failed to go to Japan. I think the immigration authorities here want to bring me together with the tour committee."

Kimi somewhat chuckled quite loudly, so her Appa had to reprimand her. "Joesonghamnida, Appa. This guy is funny."

"You're funny too. Still fortunately you are not immediately repatriated or left to wander in the streets of Seoul which is unusually cold, uh this even hopes to be delivered to Japan. What do you think they are your servants?"

"Well but..."

"If you still want to go to Japan, how about going there with me? It's planned next summer I'll visit there."

"Seriously? You want to pay me there?" Aldo was enthusiastic. 

"I never said it was free,"

Aldo's lips bent down. 

Kimi chuckles. "But as before, the pay is not money. I don't have a double eye either."

"Yes, yeah, I know. Instead, in Indonesia later, I have to be ordered and treat you to anything."

 Kimi. "It's good that you remember."

"By Japan, it's okay to be your maid" Aldo said with a faint smile. 

"So wait for me in Jakarta next month. Maybe I'll be in Jakarta around the end of the month. I hope you don't change any of your personal contacts, honey."

Suddenly Aldo's stomach became heartburn. In addition, the man caught an aura that he was so familiar with. Beside Kim Sarang, it looked to her sister who was looking at them with a slightly strange look in her eyes. In Aldo's mind, may Kimi's sister like me again?

Before Aldo passed her to Kimi, the woman was seen conversing with her sister. The conversation began with the sister who poked Kimi's arm after the word 'honey' was triggered from the lips of the woman. 

"Mwo ya-what the hell, Succhan?" kimi's response was grim. 

"What did Eonni say to Aldo Oppa? Use the word honey all over again. Don't tell me that Eonni likes Aldo Oppa too?" kim Min-soo complained that his tone sounded so upset.

"Yes, nongdam-iya, my dear sister," Kimi said. "And I told you, I'd never like this michin paen." The woman pointed towards Aldo who was frowning. 

NB:

* Yes, nongdam-iya: I was just kidding.
