Tama And Ratna

60. Good Bye's

The journey to Balikpapan does not take much time. First check the departure schedule whether it is in accordance with the ticket or not to the travel agent where he bought the ticket as well as pay it off. Then Tama and Ratna went for a short walk around the city. Ratna wants to stop by the beach close to the port he said while looking at the sunset. Because they were asked to standby to the port starting at 9 pm so they can still be a bit relaxed. As Tama promised his wife. This trip will be a thin honeymoon. It is quite remarkable that the oar of two three islands is exceeded.

"It's a good place to be" Ratna said.

"You don't believe in the same. Here there is also a nice beach-good Deck," said Tama.

"But the other Mas. What I'm looking for is not the beach but the atmosphere. Anyway Mas promise yes we want to go to Parangkusumo after arriving later," Ratna added.

"Yes yes, go to Parangkusumo, go where else is up. All tourist attractions in Jogja we come if necessary," lata Tama.

"Curried."

"Yes there are many days, we can plan one by one not all at once," Tama told Ratna.

"If there is a weekend we plan to go for a walk, at least we can spend time together" Ratna said.

"definitely. They want to fix themselves. Mas feel what happened to you all this time because Mas is not good enough to take care of you," said Tama makes Ratna who sat next to him turn her head. She could see that sad look from her husband's face that some time ago was still sumringah.

"But I'm not that good either, why would Mas have to torture himself to keep getting better?" ratna asked, who began to wrap her hands around her husband's arms, and then placed her head on his shoulder.

"Because Mas is your priest, because Mas is the head of your family, Mas is also your paradise. If Mas does not continue to try to improve, Mas will feel embarrassed if Mas can not love the best paradise for you," said Tama.

"Then we fix ourselves together want to Mas? I don't want to be sad anymore every time Mas has to go out. I also will not be sad if Mas does not go home for days because of duty," said Ratna.

"It's not so, honey. You cry if you are worried that Mas is not at home that means you still love Mas. Just hold it, you just smile and pray Mas will always be okay carrying out the task so Mas can go home safely and greet you again. Let Mas depart with memories of your smile, create the spirit of Mas. Let Mas always remember there will be you waiting for Mas at home," Tama said making Ratna nod.

Sunset has been gone for a while. Now the beach is getting dark so Tama and Ratna decide to get out of the beach and walk to find dinner. After dinner, Tama and Ratna first go to the minimarket to buy snack supplies for the ship later.

"Sir, there will be a cafeteria on the ship. Don't buy most of them, yes" Tama said.

"No need to buy most snacks. He wants to buy chocolate stock, "kekeh Ratna.

"Bas buyin coffee dong. Here the basket let Mas hold. Take water first Deck. 2 days 1 night. Buy at least 2 or 3 large bottles. Later Mas bawain," said Tama.

"Other than coffee, what else do you want?" tanya Ratna who has inserted 3 bottles of mineral water measuring 1.5 liters. You choose what you want to buy. He also grabbed 2 bottles of lemon water for Ratna who was currently busy choosing to buy potato chips, cassava chips, or corn chips. After some time, it was Tama who finally chose. He picked up potato chips packed in a large tube, 2 chocolate bars, and vanilla oreo.

"much very. He said not much" protested Ratna.

"You are long. Want some more additions, right? If not Mas want to pay first," said Tama who does not care Ratna trying to sulk. Tama left Ratna still standing in her place. Tama first queued up while Ratna followed after grabbing a few worm-shaped candy wrappers, 2 cups of instant noodles, and 1 pack of mint candy. She immediately put everything into the shopping cart that Tama brought and then quietly stood next to her husband.

"Well angry?" tanya Tama because Ratna dropped everything non-relaxedly earlier.

"No."

"PMS po Dek?" whisky Tama.

"Hadeuh was angry. He said he wanted a honeymoon too. Shrimp. After this buy doughnuts first what, but there is still time. Later brought up," said Tama make Ratna's face again sparkle.

"Tell?"

"Yes really. I saw there was a bakery we passed by," said Tama.

Ratna then grabbed the instant noodles she had taken earlier, snack, chocolate also reduced what they bought. Ratna kept her chocolate bar, mint candies, and potato chips while the other snacks she returned to her respective shelves. Tama could only laugh a little and then raise her basket to the cashier table to count.

Tama keeps her promise to buy Ratna a doughnut. After that they just headed to the port. Tama sees Ratna paling slightly as Brian starts walking towards the dock approaching the ship that will take them across. The ship was indeed very big so it was only natural that Ratna felt scared and small. Tama had already felt it, so she could relax a little more. He clasped Ratna's cold hand. With her thumb she stroked the back of Ratna's hand as there was not much she could do either.

"Congratulations Deck?" ask Tama.

"No idea how it feels" replied Ratna.

"Hold a minute yes, after this we enter your new ship if you want to rest sleep," said Tama was taken by Ratna.

Try to look around. Bismillah will all be well" said Tama once again to appease his wife.

Tama and Ratna were waiting in line to get inside the ship. Because they have VIP tickets, so they come first and foremost. It didn't take hours until Tama could finally put Brian in the hull and park him where he had been provided. Ratna began to clean up her luggage assisted by Tama. Tama carries a backpack containing their equipment, as well as a snack bag and drinking water while Ratna carries her bag as well as a laptop bag because it is dangerous if left in the car. Tama first took the keys to her room and immediately headed to the room so that Ratna could immediately rest. He's tired, too. He should be able to keep his stamina since their journey had only just begun now.

...***...

"Waw, that's really cool. Is this really on the boat or are we in the hotel?" ratna said that was amazed by the interior of the ship.

Tama smiled, after putting her bag and luggage on the sofa, she followed Ratna who was trying to stare out through the window when all she saw was black because it was already night.

"Mas, we're leaving tomorrow morning but why are we being told to come in from the night anyway?" ask Ratna.

"Because the process for loading and unloading will take hours. Just before we could get in there was about 1 hour we waited, right? Behind us are still waiting for a lot of Deck, from small cars to trucks and passenger buses," Tama explained to his wife who had no experience at all with sea transportation.

"Would you like to go for a walk?" ask Ratna.

"May, yuk if you want to walk around the ship. Just look at the outside view from the deck so you don't squat," invite Tama.

Tama took Ratna around, heading to the lobby, to the cafeteria, to the minimarket, getting to know all the facilities in it then they stepped towards the deck that showed directly the loading and unloading process below.

"Look at the queue. Lucky we can enter first, so you do not have to be emotional because the atmosphere must be very complicated below," said Tama pointed to the queue of vehicles that will enter the ship.

"So much transported all? Later if the ship is heavy continue to not be able to float how Mas?"

"No, baby. The ship has gone through a feasibility test which is a very long process. On every corner there are also many safety jackets. Everything is well calculated. You don't have to worry. Just enjoy the beautiful creation of God," said Tama.

Tama and Ratna enjoy their time together quietly while observing the hustle and bustle of activities at the pier as well as in the night conditions of Balikpapan city from the boat. The sense of heaviness is increasingly felt, considering all the moments of their togetherness here, which will not be able to be repeated again. But at least Ratna was happy, the day she was looking forward to finally came again. In the end he was able to return to his homeland, return to the atmosphere of his hometown and rejoin his friends and family.
