I hit a man.


"Sorry brother, I don't feel right .." I said stuck after seeing the man I hit.


"Kauuu" I said


"Sorry do we know?" ask her


"Sir Arya .." I said softly


"I'm not Aryan but Arland" he said


After that he helped me up and just left. I was still quietly looking at a man who looked a lot like Arya. Arland ... name I got.


"Well, are you okay?" ask Lucia


"Yes, I'm good." I said


"Like it's been kinda late. Let's get back to the flat. Said you wanted to invite us." Aslan seemed to smile.


"Well, let's go back and take a shower" I said


We also returned to the flat. I am still thinking about the man I hit. Arlando ... Arland .. her face is very similar to that of Arya.

(AT 19:00 Swedish time).


We are eight (4 children from Indonesia, 2 children from Sweden, and 2 people are our mentors). This afternoon before the shower. We asked the mentor for permission to go to my parents' house. At first they objected, because we are in a student exchange. Our safety is the most important thing. They're afraid if I lie or what. But I tried to convince them. If I lie and harm others. I am ready to take the consequences.


4 sleigh - Indonesian car accompaniment and some cars in which there are some people such as bodyguards. Their arrival confused all the residents of the flat. They thought that there were high-ranking officials present. Of course, the high-ranking officials are ambassadorial.


"Outside there are important guests from Indonesian representatives. They're not your parents, are they? we saw from your profile and bio. You have no relatives or family of an Ambassador. Moreover it is the Indonesian ambassador to Sweden" said Mrs Laura.


"I'm from a poor family, ms. Laura. But to prove that they're my family or not. We go out and find out." I said


Since the beginning of meeting with Mrs. Laura. He doesn't seem to like me very much. I don't know why, or maybe just my feelings. And I who have just come to Sweden for the first time have dared to ask for delivery and invite them.


We also went out the door. Someone I know is standing at the door.


"Sir Dipta.." I said.


We hugged her, like a sister who missed her brother.


"Aren't you in Sweden?" much


"No exchange of students, just like Kak Krishna" said Kak Dipta


I then introduced them to Kak Dipta. How surprised Mrs.Laura when described by Kak Dipta. That I have the adoptive parents of an Ambassador. Ambassador of Indonesia to Sweden.


"Let's go to the Indonesian Consulate. Ajik and mother are waiting for you" said Kak Dipta.


We also got in the car. I was with Kak Dipta in his 1st car. While the others are scattered in 2 other cars. During the trip, Kak Dipta and I told a lot of stories. Until I told him I met a man. A man who looks like Arya. His name is Arland.


"You ever know, if in this world there are 7 people who look like us?" ask Kak Dipta


"So, he's a big brother, but he's like a betel in two, brother." I said


"But like?" ask Kak Dipta.


I just nodded my head. Soon we arrived at the Indonesian consulate. Of course our car was opened by someone. Red carpets and Balinese rindik sound. There is a welcome party to welcome us. I then saw how my friends' expressions were. As well as Mrs expression. Laura and Mr. Letters.


"Welcome to the Indonesian Ambassador to Sweden" said a police officer.


"Thank you brother." I said


We were then invited to enter the main room. Yes, typical Indonesian architecture. There are various kinds of vitrin where to put mannequin custom clothing throughout Indonesia. Wayang, Gamelan, Batik, etc are typical of Indonesia.


We are also welcome to sit in the main room. How happy I am. I should be able to sit here with Arya. But never mind, I have to show my happy face. I don't want my parents in Sweden to be sad.


"Welcome my daughter" said someone new


"Ajik, mother." I said.


I stood up and approached my two foster parents. Of course my mother hugged me tightly. Likewise with ajik. The taste of haru emanated from the eyes of the mother.


"We miss you, son" said Mother


"Let's stay with us. We will love you like we love Arlina and Arya" said Ajik


After a long time we miss - kangean. I also introduced my friends. How surprised they turned out that what Kak Dipta talked about proved. I have the parents of an Ambassador.


"Welcome to our Home. May you feel at home and want to be friends with Candika" said Mother


"We didn't expect to get here. And we're very honored, ladies and gentlemen" Mrs said. Laura


"We are very happy, it turns out that one of our foster children is the daughter of a consulate." said mr.letter


Our conversation grew closer, when my parents invited us to eat together. There are various kinds of Indonesian cuisine that have been presented, including :


This culinary is in the form of chicken or whole duck whose stomach is filled with various kinds of spices. That said, duck betutu is a favorite food of the kings in Bali. The processing technique is quite unique, namely duck meat that has been seasoned will be given massages first so that it is more tender and the spice seeps into the bone. After that, wrapped in banana leaves or betel leaves and baked.



Sate Lilit


As the name implies, this satay preparation is made by wrapping the main material on the stem of lemongrass leaves or bamboo stalks. So, it gives rise to a pleasant aroma. Some of the types of meat that are often used are chicken, beef, **** and mackerel. But, until now the last option is still a favorite, even though it is expensive. The meat is chopped and mixed with Balinese spices before wrapped.



Lawar Kuir's


Lawar is a combination of minced meat with a variety of vegetables flavored with selected spices. Generally, this food is made from the main kuwir (dubek entog). So, the meat that has been chopped will be mixed with vegetables, such as long beans and grated coconut and seasonings. More delicious when eaten with white rice, sate lilit and jukut ares.



Canton


In Balinese, “tipat” means ketupat and “cantok” means kneaded or mashed. Of course the main ingredients of the dish are ketupat given vegetables long beans, kale, bean sprouts and cucumbers. The presentation process is similar to rujak petis. So, spices like fried peanuts, garlic, chili, salt and taoco are mashed with cobek. After that, ketupat and tofu are cut into pieces on a plate. Then added cooked vegetables and watered with peanut spices.



Rujak Kuah Pindang


processed rujak with tuna fish sauce. The food called rujak kuah pindang is made from sliced young mango and a super spicy sauce. But, if you want to be more complete can add fillings with a variety of fruits, such as bengkuang, kedondong or seaweed (rujak bulung). Usually, the type of seaweed used is bulung boni.



Jukut Ares


One of the unique Balinese food because it is made from a young banana tree, approximately the size of an adult arm. Ares or banana stems are sliced thinly, then cooked with Base Gede aka complete spices from the Island of the Gods. For the meat of the mixture itself in the form of chicken, entog, or duck.


Lacquer


Lak-lak is a typical Balinese food in the form of a small cake with a size approximately the size of a bottle cap. In general, the lacquers are white and made from a mixture of rice flour and coconut milk which can also be given a natural dye such as pandan.



"This is a typical food of Bali, Indonesia" I said


"It looks good" Dania said


"You've never tried it?" ask mother


"It's just Chicken Betutu, mother. It was a long time ago when we had a picnic to Bali" said Marcel


"Alright, let's eat.please taste the food of our country. This morning you invited our daughter to eat some Swedish food. Now change yes." said Ajik


We also ate the food that was prepared. Hmmm..it's so delicious. After a few moments of eating and going around the office. We also decided to go back to the flat. Actually you want us to stay here. But according to the rules, that we should get back to the flat immediately.


"Mother, later after sister finished her studies. My sister promises to stay here. Later Kak Krishna will also be here." I said


"Alright, son" said Mother


Finally we returned to the flat with the staff of my father.

Mornings in Sweden are fun. We live in Stockholm (downtown). We will enter first at the beginning of our studies. Yes we will be introduced about our school here. Whatever it is, it will be delivered on the first day.


"Ready?" ask Dania


"Of course" we said compact.


We went to school and took the first class well. We also met other students.


"Tomorrow we will visit the Swedish mascot" said our teacher


We are also very happy, that the next 1 week we will be spoiled with fieldtrip. We will be introduced to the landmarks of this city. Hearts are carefree and joyful, that's our picture at the moment. We then went back to the flat. But suddenly my eyes fell on a man. Arland, yeah that guy was around my flat apparently.


"I have to find and find out who he is." My inner self.
