That morning we were both preparing to leave for Nice by hotel car, the distance between Paris and Nice took approximately 9 hours by car.
"Ri is very fond of me, finally we will go to the old city that you said is good, all I want to find souvenirs for Rai and Mother."
"Yes, baby, I'm happy if you're cool, then we'll go for a walk in the flower market while looking for souvenirs."
"Lho Ri, the time of the flowers will wither if we take it back to Indonesia."
"It's a pity just his name is a flower market but the contents are not just selling flowers." Riri said while laughing at me.
"Oh I thought the flower market was just selling flowers hehehe."
The car continued to drive towards the city and unconsciously I fell asleep until Riri woke me up.
"Wake up is over." Riri said, waking me up.
"Lho Ri I'm sleeping? Sorry about the trip so far away too."
We got out of the car and into the old city that amazed me.
"Woaaaaah cool her old town Ri, her buildings are colorful."
"Let's go around looking for souvenirs for your family."
Finally after a long time around then we bought some goods and olives for my family's souvenirs we bought olives because said Riri Nice famous for its olives.
"It ate first yuk Riri laper."
"eat? Come on who's afraid, Adit was also the roving abis laper earlier." I said with a laugh.
We went to the restaurant in the market and then sat at one of the empty tables, then Riri ordered lunch in the form of beef whatever the name was, I feel like my tongue is stiff when I have to mention the name of the food.
"Where are we going?"
"Sea, baby we're not going all the way here to the sea."
"How many more hours drive if we're going to Ri sea?"
"Deket dear, in front of this old city is the sea, because Nice is a combination of land and sea."
"Are you serious? It's not wrong to bring us here."
After eating we went to the sea that Riri said was located in front of this old city, and it turned out to be true, it made me even more amazed at the beauty of the city of Nice.
"This is called Promenade des Anglais which means the streets of England because it used to be said many English people who like to vacation here, because Nice is famous for its warm weather."
"Well cool Ri, along this road on the edge of his surrounded by the sea, fortunately I bring you a tour guide if not like I can stray hehehe."
"Adit if you say do not carelessly later rough actually just know you."
"Yes sorry but the time went with you I can stray anyway, we took a photo yuk Ri use my phone to capture this moment of ours."
"Come, I'll ask for a picture of him to update me on my sosmed."
I also opened the small bag that I brought to put my wallet and mobile phone, but it turned out that my phone was not carried away and seemed to be left behind in the hotel.
"Wah Ri, I think I forgot to bring a cell phone, as I recall before leaving I charger in the hotel room."
"It's okay, there's still my phone."
After taking some photos we enjoyed our togetherness in the sea of Nice until the afternoon arrived.
"With home, then night until the hotel, our trip will be 9 hours."
We were both about to get to the parking lot where the hotel driver parked his car but on the way I saw a grandmother who seemed to have difficulty crossing the road, without a second thought I helped the grandmother cross to the other side of the road.
"Merci jeune homme." The grandmother said as she shook my hand.
Because I did not know what it meant to just smile at the grandmother, until she finally left and I returned to the road again.
Arriving across the street I was surprised because Riri was not there, maybe Riri did not know that I crossed to help the grandmother first because Riri was walking in front of me.
Oh God it seems I was lost, I also went around the place to look for Riri but did not meet him either, I looked for where our car was parked but it made me more lost and more away from our original location.
It's late at night and I haven't found Riri anywhere, how can I get lost in a country of people, I can't reach her because my phone is left in the hotel, going home to the hotel I don't know the way because the distance is very far.
My stomach was hungry, I opened my wallet and it was only Rupiah because the French currency I gave to Riri after shopping for souvenirs.
I also walked to the beach where we were and finally I was able to return to the beach.
I was pensively in that chair hoping that Riri could find me, my stomach was getting more and more sick from hunger, before long I saw a girl passing by in front of me, he was Indonesian and I greeted him.
"Hello miss are you Indonesian?" Saying to him.
"Yes right, what's wrong?"
"My name is Adit, I'm lost because I'm separated from my boyfriend, can you help me?"
"I'm Rinjani mas, I'm also looking for my new boyfriend here first, and he's also lost like mas Adit."
"Mbak Rinjani can take me to the nearest police station."
"It just so happens that I want to go there too, let's go together then."
Thank goodness I survived meeting this girl, suddenly on the way my stomach rang from hunger.
"Lho mas Adit hasn't eaten yet?" Ask Rinjani.
"It hasn't been out since noon."
"Then let's eat before the police station."
"No need I don't want to take nicotine."
Finally, because Rinjani forced me to accept his offer, we headed to the restaurant nearby.
"Bak Rinjani didn't eat?"
"Just like, I was already."
"Previous, if you hadn't met you I didn't know how I would have been tonight, would have been starving on the side of the road."
"Yes mas together, oh yes mas Adit work or vacation in France?"
"I'm on vacation with my girlfriend and we're staying in Paris, just today we took a walk here, if Rinjani is on vacation too?"
"I work at a pastry shop near here mas, today my girlfriend plans to fly from Indonesia to Nice to spend her vacation time with me but she got lost like this."
After we finished our meal we went from the restaurant to the police station, but we just got out of the restaurant suddenly there were two large high-bodied strangers calling us.
"Hey wait." Said one of the strangers.
For fear that they would do evil to us, Rinjani and I ran away from them, but I could not believe that the two strangers were chasing us.
PS (the story of Rinjani can be read in my other novel with the title Rinjani).
