Charm White Elephant Part 01

I and Wapta have now arrived in the city of Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, a country called the White Elephant.

Deep in my mind I never thought, the day I met, really painted a happy smile. I can't help but explain, look at this foot that has been resting in the land of the White Elephant.

When it comes to history, I'm silent about a thousand languages, why is Thailand nicknamed the White Elephant? Obviously, I don't understand the reason.

The question is burning in my mind right now as if to dwell longer, more tired whatever, I want to think about it, but hindered by the science and reality that exists, want to ask, I want to ask, but with whom do I ask?

Wapta is also not very familiar with history, I briefly know him from himself who does not like to tell stories, even listen to stories.

Wapta is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, but rather he prefers to watch Korean dramas, singing makes me like a person who listens unclear.

I don't understand why he likes korea, especially k-pop bands as a guy I have to respect him, that's what he likes. There are many more, I did not mention.

Just a prejudice that is not necessarily the truth, I better try to question it. Who knew Wapta could answer my statement; “Wapta, do you know why Thailand is nicknamed the White Elephant?”

“I don't know, does it bother your mind, Nar? Don't you think about it, forget it.”

I shut up, Wapta excitedly pulled my hand. We have both arrived in Bangkok, this is my first experience, traveling to other people's country, it is far from exhausting.

Thailand is still in Southeast Asia. Don't call me a fad because this is the first experience that even this shaky leg is trying to adapt to a new environment.

Tiredness dominates all feelings. The feeling of wanting to lay down the body into a soft bed, sleep soundly. The breath at that time accompanied the murmur of the heart to want to rest.

Arrive at one of the hotels not far from Bangkok, the hotel was named Gaam Hotel, a fairly cheap lodging according to Wapta.

Bangkok's currency exchange is called the Baht, the money I never held. All this time I have always held rupiah money, before we have exchanged currency tools.

This is really the first experience I feel now is not in my own country, but the country of people who are considered very indulgent because they see the beauty that is in it.

When booking a hotel room, I stared quite amazed at Wapta, he spoke very fluently in thai.

The language I learned, to the point that I bit my finger, slammed into something that calmed me down. Because it was so difficult for me at that time to understand and master the language.

Two rooms have been booked Wapta, we both headed to our respective rooms. Not far away, the room is close.

I saw that Wapta had entered his room. While I'm still unlocking my room. When the room key opened, I stared at the room for a moment. Silent in front of the room door, after being satisfied to stare unmitigated again, at that time I immediately ran quickly to the bed, laying down my body to it.

Obviously it feels, I feel comfortable there is a blast of cold coming from the AC is able to make me breathe more and more relieved, relieve fatigue before.

After waking up. I feel like my whole tired body is gone. At that time, I picked up a notebook, then wrote my imagination that was coming.

This is what often happens to me, writing the imagination that sometimes with a flash comes, then a moment is lost. Sometimes I look up, looking for inspiration so that it keeps coming into my mind.

Writing is my hobby for a long time with something I could never imagine, my words are arranged by themselves, this hand moves to write it.

“I understand a little meaning about the tiredness of the journey, after the tiredness of it I rest and when the tiredness is gone, I feel a comfortable feeling, is sadness too? Feelings are still feelings, I feel sadness is also the same.”

The writing I'm writing in my notebook.

I quietly rubbed my face, then took a deep breath into my palm, rubbing it back into my face.

Inspiration came as if the sweetness of honey, so I did not expect. Though I have a light question in my mind.

Whether all the words I have just written are true or not at first glance my guess is not a wise man like the people out there, but I am just a bunch of forgotten dust, even being stepped on I'm fine, even if the pain is probably my fate.

I didn't want to think about it much, I closed the notebook, then put it next to the sleeping light.

At that moment, I paused for a moment to open the window. There, the city of Bangkok looks so beautiful.

At night time that I can not explain in more detail, I always try to learn to write want to explain what I see using majaz-majaz to seem beautiful, but again I have tried.

I had a really hard time doing it, even this feeling as if it was inviting me to give up.

Even now the memories of the past still haunt me, disturbing my thoughts and feelings.

“All I can do is reflect on the past that has passed far, I am indeed weak when I remember all the bitter memories, for some reason I can only be sad, even I don't think I can explain any longer to others.”

I muttered inwardly, staring at the lights that shone brightly in every store building and tall, sturdy building before me.

What exactly is this feeling? Until now I still did not understand about the feeling, what I was staring at right now was millions of luminous lights illuminating the night. Look, those lights are coming from the windows of the building and so on.

I forgot to tell Wapta that tomorrow is our quest to find my grandfather's place to live.

***

That morning. Still dim sunlight, Wapta knocked on my door, then after I opened he took me around exploring, exploring the city of Bangkok.

“No, I don't want to!” my answer is concisely continue to look at him seriously, “Didn't I have said before I came to this country just to meet grandfather, so I don't want to waste time in vain.”

“Come, Nar! When else can we come here, I want to know more about this country, accompany me.” Wapta tried to persuade me with his honest reasoning making me want to know as well.

Knowing history, wanting to know more about the country my grandfather was in, who knows on the way later I met one who might be a close friend. My fascination with Thai language is also enough to make me more fighting spirit to be able to master it. Honestly, that's the hardest language for me to learn.

“Alright, I want.”

“Yeah!” Wapta cheered cheerfully.

With that both of us have agreed to explore the city of Bangkok. Given a day that is still too early, then each of us prepare for each other.

***

He said Wapta was good while exploring the city of Bangkok, making the city of Hua Hin as the end point of our trip.

According to Wapta in the city of Hua Hin there is a beach that is so beautiful. There is more nikmah atmosphere, the haw is comfortable. Before leaving, the showman Wapta told me a little about the history of Hua Hin.

Clearly, it seemed like he had changed from before. I wonder not to ask for the change in attitude shown. Along the way we took a look at the city of Bangkok first.

Down the city crowded with people. Wapta when riding a public transport car, you name it as soon as he recounted the history of Hua Hin city which he said used to be Hua Hin city was just a fishing village, but later on in magic became a city, the city, then in magic again become a tourist spot.

I laughed when I heard him tell a story. Is that really so? Juggling. Haha, while listening to him, I was just being gutless. Meanwhile, Wapta just kept talking without end I guess.

The me that I am now is different from the me that I was before, not the same as you imagined. But, speaking of me is still irregular, that's what I have a hard time controlling. In fact, my writing is still messy.

Over time, now I just sit still, enjoying the trip to the beach. The tour of Bangkok has ended, there have been many places we visited, it feels amazing.

With a bottle of my favorite drink accompanying this trip. The rest is just an explanation of my drink is orange juice with an orange bottle. Yeah, you know that? Right, guys? If you do not know, it is for what also mentions the brand later counted ads.

On the way, there were many voices that I heard, but unfortunately I could not understand the language. It's so hard to feel.

I don't know, the sound is like the wind blowing on a tree leaf, producing an incomprehensible sound.

“This ... makes me dizzy, it sucks why I can't master the language that others can,” my murmurs noticed around who seemed to be chatting with each other.

Then an old man appeared to approach me. He said, “? (kinghx cologna)” paints?)

In my mind hearing the language was nothing but this; it was nothing like this;

“@£÷&$&@£×£#&×¥.” I can't understand what Grandpa said. Obviously I'm not Thai, but I'm a foreigner who doesn't know about it.

I was so angry that Wapta whispered something into my ear, “Jawab only ⁇ (pord)”

I heard the whisper, at that moment I immediately said it, “ ⁇ (Pord) ..”

Then the old man sat down next to me, gave me an expensive chocolate bar, Yes, expensive!? You know that, as before the brand is not mentioned later calculated advertising.

The old grandfather spoke to me at length as if to tell me something, I heard all that, just muttering, felt a little dizzy.

The stars are going around in my head, the moons are laughing at me, the planets are spinning compactly with the stars, the two celestial bodies are compact to make me dazed. Ah, this is so annoying!

I complain inside. Surely, no one would be able to hear it, except for the one who could read my mind or stare at my strange expression, since long ago even when I met Aiban I could not hide the facial expression.

I admit that the one who is able to heal sadness is a truly powerful person in this world.

***

When I arrived at Hua Hin beach, what was tired in my mind was now gone. In fact, all the things that were bothering my mind were gone already.

The clear view of the ocean as if erasing the traces of the mind that was being muddled, somehow? Thats odd.

Wapta invited me to play in the middle of the sea. There we played each other splashing water. It's like a child, I laugh every time I shake water on his face.

Just for the current explanation in the middle of the sea is shallow with a water level limited to the chest, we freely play there, indeed now the sea water is receding, the sea water is receding, even small waves continue to hit the rocks produce small bubbles used by the waves. Yeah, thats. Clever mood.

At that moment, Wapta ran towards the beach laughing leaving me alone in the middle of the sea. I was obviously wondering why he left me. What reason? I stared enough and laughed.

When away from me. I am still in the middle of the sea. Wapta yells very loudly, “ ⁇ (kun rakhun network)!” Hearing that, I was clearly confused as to what Wapta said. Actually what was the meaning of his words that seemed to make me not understand was made by him.

“Basic! Potatoes can speak thai language, as if screaming,” my murmur in the mind. Yeah, that's how it is. Because of the limited knowledge I have, then shame makes me condense frustration, I don't know.

I felt like I had read it in a dictionary that day. Never mind, I don't want to care about it.

There are actually many places that we have not visited at this time, just through time.

I approached Wapta who had just shouted indistinctly, staring questioningly; “Why? Why did you scream that way?” ask me to Wapta.

“No, nothing, I just want to scream and make you curious,” replied Wapta who looked strange. Look, he's like a man who's lying.

I don't know. I don't want to guess. He may ridicule my appearance.

It is better to eat. “I know, you must be hungry. Yes, we ate!” I took her by the hand to one of the restaurants.

Wapta looked breeding, we also changed clothes, before the clothes we wear were now wet to play in the middle of the sea.

Fortunately, before leaving Wapta told me to bring a change of clothes for later at Hua Hin beach. Thankfully, we brought complete preparations before leaving here.

After changing clothes, the two of us met each other. “OK, which restaurant are we going to, Nar?” ask Wapta to me who also I do not know where to go.

“Leave it to me, I guarantee you my best choice!” I said as if I was proud of myself, even though I just did not know which was the best restaurant, just based on my thoughts.

That is me who does not want to be looked down upon, still forced even though the reality is not so.

Wapta knows very well about me. He just laughed saying you've never been here how do you know exactly this place. Haha, it's true what Wapta said.

I kept laughing, Wapta seemed to laugh listening to him, although he did not like it, he sometimes said so, my smile might be visible. I have trouble hiding my facial expression.

Wapta, do you know that I love you, love you all about you, love and continue to love.

On Hua Hin beach, it seems like there are many restaurants until I am confused about which one to choose, yes, Railway Restaurant only. At the restaurant it was probably more convenient for me to make it the place we ate.
