My dream, my life

Rela Merantau For the Solicitation of Science

Mr. Mieta has got a location for Mieta to take an English course. "Teh, I already got the location of the English course in Kampung Bahasa, Later rather unfortunate we go to the train ticket buying station to leave on Saturday. You have a survey online, Saturday departs around 2 pm, later nyampe there around 2 am. You also have paid the place of the course so that later you will not be looking for another course there. So, later there just come to the dormitory".

Mieta was a bit hesitant to go to Kampung Bahasa because it would be the first time she went further after living in Depok for college.

"How long will I be there?" Ask Mieta to her Father. "Klo's still at home, 3 months there. After that you can go home and work again."

*** At Cicantik Train Station

"Mom, you want to ask, if the train to Barujaya Station what time is it?" Ask Mr. Mieta to the Ticket Sales Officer at Cicantik Train Station to make sure what he has seen online is true and there is no change in schedule.

"It's 2pm sir. How many people?"

"For 2 people, I plan to go to Barujaya this Saturday. Can you buy a ticket home on Sunday?"

"Could Sir. It costs Rp 300,000 per ticket."

"Enh, too. On Sundays, the train from Barujaya station to Cicantik what time is it?"

"Yes sir, because you buy it right closer to H day, unless you make a ticket purchase 1 month before the departure date, usually can get a cheaper price. For Sunday trains from Barujaya station there are 9 am and 2 pm."

"Yasudah, I bought a ticket Cicantik to Barujaya departure at 2 pm for 2 people. Return from Barujaya to Cicantik for 1 person."

"Ok, I repeat sir. 2 Tickets from Cicantik Station to Barujaya departure at 2 pm and 1 ticket from Barujaya to Cicantik at 9 am, Right Sir?"

"Yes, right, ma'am."

"Price per 1 ticket is Rp 300,000 times 3 to Rp 900,000."

Mr. Mieta spent money for the payment of 2 Cicantik Tickets - Barujaya and 1 Barujaya Ticket - Cicantik for Rp 900,000.

"Nih hold the ticket has a teteh 1. Watch missing. Simpen in a place that is easy to find so that the right to leave is not a waste of time looking for tickets"

"Ok, I put it in my wallet" Mieta replied.

On Friday, Mieta was relaxing in her room, suddenly her phone rang and Mieta picked up the phone. A man's voice on the phone :

"Hallo Good Morning Ma'am. Is this true with Mieta's mother?"

"It's right sir. I'm sorry who is this with you and where?"

"Include Mom, I am Riko from Bank Jaya Bersatu. Mieta's mother passed the entrance test to Bank Jaya Bersatu, therefore tomorrow is scheduled to do the MCU test. Will you be willing to spend your time tomorrow?"

"Where is Sir. I think I did not pass the test, so I have bought a train ticket to Kampung Bahasa, Barujaya East Java, Sir."

"If Saturday can't, I can MCU on Monday only. The plan is how long is mom to Kampung Bahasa?"

"The plan is 3 months sir. I want to study English there. How about Sir?"

"I'll give it back to Mom, whether you want to continue or not. Because if it's too long for 3 months, we can't wait either"

"That's it, sir. Yasudah, because I can't do the MCU test, so I can't cancel sir"

"Do you want to cancel? Don't you think about it, Mom?"

"Yes right sir, I cancancel because I have bought the ticket for departure tomorrow".

Mieta thought about the money that her father had spent Rp 900,000 to buy tickets to Kampung Bahasa and Mieta also wanted to learn English to improve her English skills.

Then Mieta told her Father that she got a call from Bank Jaya Bersatu for the MCU test that she refused. Mieta also told the reason Mieta refused to test the MCU because unfortunately her father had paid a ticket of Rp 900,000 which for Mieta was a large enough nominal and especially Mieta wanted to improve her English skills. But Mr. Mieta turned out to be very angry with his son who made the decision without discussing it first to his parents.

"The money can be sought, but the job will have to wait for another call. You got the call and you refused! Next time don't do it again!"

"Yes sir." answered Mieta in a low tone.

Mieta felt guilty for her decision that she took on her own without discussing it first to her parents. Although Mr. Mieta was angry with Mieta, the departure to Kampung Bahasa was still done.

***On Cicantik station

"Mr wants to go to the toilet for a while. Be careful the stuff is afraid there is a pickpocket". "Yes sir" Mieta replied

Mieta takes a picture of the state of the station and uploads a photo in her WhatsApp application :

"Bismillah... Good luck to your destination, Aamiin Ya Robbal'Aalamiin..."

Then Mieta's friend (Azzam) replies to Mieta's Status on WhatsApp: "Where are you going?"

"Do you know or do you want to know how to be proud? hahaha"

"Hadeuuhhh... want to go to Jakarta again, huh Ta?"

"Ngga, no more playing dlu to Jkt. Want to study outside of West Java?"

"Hahaha very much. Later also know"

"Yaahhh Mieta. Yauda deh klo don't want to tell, don't make it. Whatever's best for Lo Ta, I always support you"

"wkwkwkwk is very amused I read chat lo hahaha. ok deh, thank you ya".

Mieta's back from the toilet.

"Sir, I want to buy Manise's bread"

"Yauda don't be long2, soon the train will come"

10 Minutes later, the Mahabisa train to Barujaya station has arrived. Mieta ran over to her father.

"This is my bread 2 sir, 1 for me, 1 for you"

"So, just go to the door of the train over there that not too many people"

"Alhamdulillah..." Mieta was relieved that she was already sitting on the train. Then Mieta ate the bread Manise had bought. "This Sir, the Rotinya" Mieta gave 1 loaf of bread to her Father.

Two hours passed...

Mieta and her father slept on the train. Before long the sound of people crying and make Mieta and her Father wake up :

"Hiks hyks... Fathering... I got my spoon off there"

"Can't you just take it off?"

"So I rushed to run down the train to leave, keep slipping I off when I run. I'd like to take it but I'm afraid the train's on the road"

"Yuda now the train is running, Dad can't take his back. Later Daddy buyin again klo already nyampe Barujaya station ya. Don't cry anymore, in the car can't be noisy".

The clock shows at 1:30 a.m. The Mahabisa train has arrived at Barujaya Station.

"We just wait in the Lobby Station until dawn, Later if it's part, we just look for transportation to get there".

Mieta, who was still sleepy, wanted to wash her face so as not to get too sleepy.

"Sir, I'm going to the toilet first"

"The problem is not taken, just keep it here" ordered Mieta's father while pointing to the seat next to the seat occupied by his Father.

The time is so fast turning, Mieta and her Father have done the dawn prayer. Then they look for transportation to Kampung Bahasa.

About 1 hour drive, Finally they arrived at Kampung Bahasa, but had difficulty finding the "Ichigo English Course". Then there was a Father riding a Becak.

Bpk Mieta: "Sir, would you like to ask if to Ichigo English Course Place where is it?"

Kang Becak: the :

"You're going to the Exchange Place or to the Dormitory sir?"

Bpk Mieta: "To his Dormitory. Is the location different?"

Kang Becak: "Different Sir. Let me take there klo Bpk want, the location is quite far klo walk and bring a suitcase"

Mr. Mieta: "How much did Mr fare there?"

Kang Becak: "10,000, sir. Father & Mother My first passenger this morning"

Mr. Mieta: "It's like that"

Kang Becak: "Bapak equally Maknya go up first, Later the suitcase I help raise"

A few minutes passed, Kang rickshaw pointed towards Ichigo English Course :

"Well, this is sir heading towards Ichigo. The location where the course turns right trus straight there. Later on the roadside there is an Ichigo reading on the right. Now we turn left to the Dormitory".

"I hear, residents here also can speak English sir" said Mr. Mieta. "Ah not all sir. I can do a little bit too, sir. Indeed there are also course institutions that provide free English courses for residents who are around the course. Only people also have their own busy lives, so for those who seriously want to sir. I think this is just a pedicab sir, yes if not a pedicab, I have no income".

After turning through the alley, Mieta and her Father finally arrived in front of Ichigo Dormitory.

"Alhamdulillah has arrived Sir, This is his Dormitory. If the place of the course that I had pointed at was sir, Ma'am" said Kang Becak while pointing to the location of Ichigo Dormitory.

Kang helps to take the suitcase off the rickshaw and Mieta takes the suitcase into Dormitory, while Mr. Mieta waits on the front porch of Ichigo Dormitory. Ichigo Dormitory is a house that Ichigo English Course rented to serve as Ichigo Dormitory. After Mieta chatted with the house, Mieta came out and approached her father on the front porch of the house.

"Enakeun the atmosphere is cold. Hope you feel at home here. Later if you want to buy food, ask first to the person yes. If you can not go alone if you don't know the way" Advice Mieta told Mieta. Mieta can only answer "Yes Pak" in a low tone because Mieta is sad to be left alone in Kampung Bahasa.

Mieta's eyes glazed over as her Father said: "Yes, you are home now. You want to walk first while looking at the location, who knows there are better courses. If there's anything, call Dad". Mieta nodded her head. After her father came home, Mieta cried alone.
