Merantau To Riau Islands

Merantau To Riau Islands
Welcome to Batam and Metropolitan City



Why would Nana want to wander?" though his parents were quite able to finance his college.


His parents owned a fish pond, rice field, and ampera restaurant that was run by his mother. His brother also routinely sent every payday. 


Is it because her parents counted the same children?" Answer, no. Rather, because Nana is like her brother, the type of child does not want to use the money of parents that much, let alone a widow mother left dead Father.


Money can be sought, want to find it yourself, not ungrateful, but, want to be independent, looking for yourself, utilizing the power of tasting his own efforts, of course it feels different than tasting anyone's efforts.


Though Nana is still the responsibility of the parents until she married after that the responsibility shifted to her husband. Yeah, so, what's wrong?" there's no harm.


Today, all genders are given equal rights in work, children, women, teenagers, adults, and their parents are already working for several reasons.


Want to connect, seek life experiences, responsibility for the family, looking for supplies for children's education and investment in old age so as not to expect more to children. Indeed Children have responsibilities towards their parents, especially Boys have responsibilities towards their parents at any time.


Moreover, the boy prioritizes responsibility for his new small family of parents. If a daughter depends on her husband's permission. 


But, again I argue, while young and healthy, content to build a business like learning from artificial to burrow. Working and studying including worship doing it gets rewards.


"Just do a good job, yeah, hehe!"


Save for an old age investment, God willing."


Arrive at Hang Nadim Airport Batam. I called Bang Faisal.


After waiting for the pick-up queue, I dyed, I monologued.


"Where are my things?" as it turned out, Bang Faisal had already taken my things, because every bag and box had written my name.


"Assalamualaikum, Bg." 


shaking hands, "Where are you saying, it's been a long time waiting for me?" 


"Waalaikumsalam, Tidings of Alhamdulillah, well, yes like this, no really, Abang came here an hour ago when you were already on the plane."


"Kok, you know I'm on a plane, you're here."


"Yes, you know, according to the time of departure, you uploaded to the application with the blue logo."


"Oh, yes, yes, hehe."


TAXI CAB


In the taxi, the driver asked us a lot, a driver could not rely solely on the car and driver to find passengers. It should be friendly, talkative plus package to make it easy to find passengers.


"Where are you from!" driver said


Bang Faisal, "I'm from MKGR, pick up my sister, from the field."


The driver, "Who's here from the field?"


Nana, "just yourself."


Driver, "to Batam want to work or what?"


Bang Faisal, "he said he wanted to work, looking for a fee for college."


Many more conversations we had in the taxi, Bang Faisal was always talking to anyone not to forget the driver said.


His son was also killed with his father working also said the same thing looking for tuition, his wife and other children in the village could not come because the other child was still small. Not to forget, exchange no. Who knows, it might help to get a job.


Looking out at the traffic jam, many sights I saw, buskers, beggars, selling a variety of snacks while carrying snacks there are also while carrying his son whether anyone buys it either no, Bang Faisal told the taxi to stop to buy their snacks even if they buy one, two, or three, it means a lot to them. Like they are in every city.


Inadvertently my eyes looked at the writing Welcome to Batam And City Metropolitan, the name is beautiful, according to the scenery. Ah, my traveling soul is struggling.  "Later, I'm playing here Ah."
