Miss Yeti is No Ordinary PSK

Between Barriers and Opportunities

"Damn! This is totally unexpected. Why does the rain have to come at a time like this?" Mr. Ginting asked in annoyance, despite knowing if no one would answer him.

Mr. Ginting's journey is not without challenges. As the rain rained incessantly, he found himself having to immediately seek refuge.

The sound of the raindrop knocking on the hood of the car, made him even more emotional. But there was nothing he could do with just cursing.

Finally the man sighed, trying to ease his own emotions and resentment at the weather that indirectly gave him a hitch.

"I was anxious to get there and then express my feelings for Mis Yeti, but the jammed streets and fallen trees made things difficult."

"It looks like I need to find shelter first. Damn it, I hope it's all over."

Occasionally the wind roared and the rain grew heavier, forcing Mr Ginting to speed up his car to seek temporary shelter. He wanted to get into a cozy cafe that he met.

Imagining the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee hugged her as she wiped the raindrops from her glasses. The clattering of plates and the gentle chatter of people created a backdrop of comfort, giving him a moment to catch his breath and calm the mind.

"It looks like it's gonna be more delicious, than I'm just stuck in the car."

Finally, as the car walked further and further through the rows of trees, a loud crackling sound rang out in the air.

Kreak ...

Bruackkk!

A tree fell from the heavy rain, blocking its path. He was shocked and rubbed his face, grateful that he was not a victim or there was a victim on a fallen tree. Now, he had to twist through a narrow alley, his steps echoing in the damp wall.

"Huhfff .. thank goodness."

"I tried to call Biyan, ask her how things are going there."

Tut tut tut ...

The missed call. Mr. Ginting was still trying, but several times Biyan's calls remained unanswered. Finally he sent a message, hoping Biyan would read it.

Despite facing many obstacles, Mr Ginting's determination remains unwavering. He understood that just like a rainstorm, the obstacles are temporary, and in the end they will open to show the way forward.

Thus, with each pause to take shelter or twist, his anticipation to stand before Yati and express his feelings grew stronger, pushing him through the rain-soaked streets towards his final destination.

"Well, the rain's no joke today. I'm soaking wet going to the office."

"Yes, the rain is heavy. I also had trouble finding a taxi to take to the office."

"Especially the road to Bogor must be jammed ya kayak gini."

"Surely, the tree fell again. I think the trip to Bogor will be longer than usual."

Mr. Ginting overheard the conversation and the conversation of the people, as he arrived at a mini market because he wanted to buy a car tissue happened to run out.

And coincidentally, this mini market is also beside a cafe on the side of the road.

"Bro, horrors of the road to Bogor jammed because of the trees fell? There are a lot of cars that have stopped."

Again, Mr. Ginting heard someone talking while he was at the cafe. He understood that many passersby ended up trapped like him.

"Yes, I gave it up. The ends stop by the minimarket and go to this cafe for shelter."

"Well, really? Though I also have bad luck and really bad ngadepin rain."

"Yep, I saw it on the news. The road is full of fallen trees and puddles."

Not wanting to interfere or join the other passersby, Mr. Ginting immediately ordered hot coffee to warm his body.

The man also ordered some food, as it was about time to enter at night. So just fill his stomach that must be filled, mumpung stop and wait for traffic smoothly.

While waiting for the order to come, Mr. Ginting again tried to contact Biyan or some of his people. But all is nil!

"Rain is so good at home, right?"

"Rubber too. But my friend was telling me, he had to start a cafe to shelter in the middle of the road to Bogor. Lah, like this one of us."

"Seriously? So is it getting worse, or are there fallen trees everywhere?"

"Yes, he said all the streets were jammed and at the stop find shelter from the rain."

"Geez, good thing I finally broke in brenti earlier."

The man could only let out a long sigh before finally throwing it back. He also wants to be at home, but the goal is different this time.

"We can actually wait for the rain to subside before leaving for Bogor."

"Yes, but I'm afraid the jam will get worse later. After all, rain and fallen trees are unpredictable."

"But it's better than being stuck in the rain and traffic."

"Today, too. Until we can enjoy the trip without having to stress."

"Emangs. But how else, the important thing is safe and comfortable until the destination."

Mr. Ginting just shook his head, hearing all the people's talk and conversations.

After a few hours pass and the rain starts to subside, Mr. Ginting continued his journey with mixed feelings.

Streets that had been covered in puddles and fallen trees now began to look more friendly. He decided to continue on, feeling a gust of fresh air after the rain had subsided.

When stepping towards the car, he saw the road that had been closed finally opened again. The traffic had slowly subsided, giving him a hint of hope.

"I can't give up on the situation. It's just a small part of the journey I've been through."

Inwardly, he steeled his determination to continue on, not wanting to miss the opportunity to meet his Mis Yeti.

Although the sky was still cloudy, the sunlight began to penetrate the cracks of the clouds. Mr. Ginting felt like this was a picture of her own feelings.

Despite obstacles and obstacles, the light of hope remains at the end of the journey. Steadily, he continued his journey to Bogor, convinced that the time he was waiting for would come as the journey continued.

***

Amid the heavy rain in Bogor, Yati had prepared a banquet for Biyan. They sit inside a comfortable dining room, with the windows open so that the sound of rain enliven the atmosphere.

At the dinner table, delicious dishes were served lovingly by Nina's mother who had been helped by Yati.

"The rain is unpredictable, Biyan. But anyway, this is nature."

Biyan smiled at Yati's diplomatic words. The words seemed to insinuate themselves, indirectly. Or it's just the feeling.

" Yes, Miss Yeti. It's like an unexpected adventure. Thank you for letting me stay here."

Suddenly, in their silence, there was the sound of footsteps approaching from outside the room.

Clack

The door opened, and Yati's father went inside, followed by her nurse. Yati's father smiled, looking at Biyan who was with his son.

"Sorry to interrupt, Ms. Yati."

Ms. Nina, representing Mr. Wasito, who came to the dining table to make them stop the conversation.

"Emhhh, Dad, this is Biyan. Yati's old friend, first." The woman got up from her seat by introducing Biyan.

Biyan got up, bowed politely with the intention of introducing herself to Mr. Wasito.

"Good afternoon, sir. It's nice to meet you." The young man greeted politely and kindly.

Yati's father nodded in understanding, but he could only smile. Despite failing to see a smile on his face. But it made him feel happy.

"Together, Son Biyan. I'm Ms. Nina, Mr. Wasito's nurse. Sorry, he's having trouble speaking."

Biyan smiled clumsyly, but was quickly able to master the circumstances. The young man approached and crouched down in front of Mr. Wasito's wheelchair.

"Sorry, Sir. I, was forced to stop at the invitation of Mis Yeti because the time to go home the rain suddenly fell rapidly."

Mr. Wasito seemed to think. He never knew or knew a man or a young man who was close to his son.

The old man finally looked towards his son, but Yati who meant his father's gaze only shook his head a few times faintly. So no one knew if Yati had already given her father an answer.

'If he likes you, Dad's okay, Nduk.'

Mr. Wasito bathed himself, despite having already gotten his son's head.
