The Love Story of Ria

Flashback On by Ria

Finally after his struggle to ask permission from Bu Susi to become TKI, Ria really departed and flew to Formosa State.

Ria arrived in Taiwan in the afternoon after approximately 5 hours of flight.

It was never imagined by him to be in the foreign country of the Chinese majority.

Especially with a foreign language that is very difficult to understand and say, each vocabulary there are different tones and beats if the wrong beat of the meal will be different with a different tone and also different meanings.

As for the word 'Se' which means 4, 10, dead/deceased, problems, only distinguished by tone and manner of pronunciation.

At the time will say the number 4 but the tone that was issued turned out to be for the number 10, what a sense of despair almost made Ria give up.

But he persisted in learning every vocabulary until he could write and pronounce fluently in Mandarin.

The 3-month struggle in the Agency yielded satisfactory results.

Ria in place right at the Nursing Home located in the Taiwan Capital, namely Taipe.

The city is busy all the time and every day, but it will turn into the City of the Dead when the Chinese celebration arrives because the majority who live in Taipe are people from various other Cities and Regions in Taiwan.

It has been almost 6 months Ria in Taiwan, every salary he received was always sent to the Orphanage Hope Mulia.

''Ama.cau an (Grandmother good morning)'' friendly greeting Ria.

''Cau an (Morning)'' with a Grandma's friendly smile on her granddaughter.

Ria is a friendly and cheerful girl, so the residents of Panti Jompo are very fond of her.

What Ria learned in this country is that people here are very fond of hospitality and TKI especially Indonesia.

They argue that Indonesia is very diverse and has many islands.

''Meimei ni yo che cau can ma? (your sister has breakfast?)'' ask one of the nurses at the Nursing Home.

Such is the day of the day through Ria, get up early, help bathe patients, feed breakfast, give medicine, chat and invite them to walk the sun in the morning and evening.

Flashback Off

The time is still showing at 5 am, but one of the boarding rooms on the 2nd floor has been stirred by the chirping of one of its residents.

''Ma'am...., what clothes am I wearing? what season is it again?'' intan Sounds.

Ria who was still lazy chose to cover her entire body with a blanket.

''Ma'am..., why sleep again? we'll have bad luck...''

''It's still too early'' said the hoarse voice of Ria behind the blanket.

''Ma'am! mbak Ria, there again what season? should I wear a jacket or not? Sister Ria! Sister Ria!'' Intan shook Rian's body.

Ria who was trying to endure the end sat down and looked at Intan with an annoyed look.

''Dani will pick us up at 10! it's still 5 o'clock and you've been horrendous!'' ria said with annoyance.

Intan only hears the grin of a horse.

''Hehe sorry Mbak.., sorry.. yes Mbak sleep again yes... sleep la again'' said Intan while patting the pillow that was slept Ria earlier.

Ria resentfully decided to go back to sleep on Intan's back.

''Hufs.'' Intan's voice breathed a sigh of relief, while stroking his chest.

Fortunately, Mbak Ria is not really angry, if I am really angry I am afraid not invited. Inner Intan.
