The Story of the Ordinary Girl

A Day with Ardi #part 2

We did not stop at the terminal, Ardi stopped the transportation on the red bridge, where many also stopped at that place, if you want to continue walking or looking for angkot with other majors more quickly, usually people would prefer to get off here.

Walk down the sidewalk, then cross. I continued to follow Ardi's steps. We crossed two paths, and finally I decided to ask where Ardi really was going.

"A. Where are we really going?"

"Loe cape huh?" Ardi asked, because I asked.

"No, just .. yes want to know, where we are going."

"We go to Court Street first, through the garden of hats. Gapapa, right?" the answer.

"Yes gapapa, come on!" ask me to continue my steps.

We took that definite step after I knew where Ardi was going, passing the merchants on the sidewalks, the Great Mosque that stood firmly in the middle of the market, and the shops lined up neatly, with faithful servants offering their merchandise at every passing.

now we have arrived at the Court. But Ardi was still walking, yet to show where he was going. Arriving in front of an electronics store, he then turned into his parking lot.

"This is a moment, yes, there are tools that I have to pesen," he asked as he then continued to step into the store.

I could only follow, follow him from behind until the shopkeeper greeted Ardi, as if they knew each other.

"Eh, In. Where is aja loe? loe style, use all girls," greet the shop dwellers with the accent of chines rather lispy.

When viewed from his oriental face, and the color of his skin, it seemed like he was indeed a Koko-koko.

"So, I'm busy. Owya I need this" Ardi said something out of his pants pocket.

He then immediately handed a small object that I don't know, to the cocoa.

After the Koko noticed the small object that Ardi gave her, she then said, "Later I'll tell you if the item is already there."

Si Koko then turned to look at me, and greeted me. "Yes girl?"

I smiled faintly at her question, and replied politely, "Temen work Koh,"

Finished from the electronics store, Ardi still took me walking again, down the Courthouse, past the shops and the multi-storey buildings on the sides. When we got to the front of the building of a favorite non-Muslim school in the area, Ardi said "Loe pantesnya school here Dis,"

"RH?" my many.

"Yes!" emphatically.

"Lunatic man Loe! yeah I'm going to school here,"

"Dis Pantes, look at it. Loe's eyes are narrow, Loe's skin is white, Loe's cheeks are also cabi-cabi how it is, their cake."

"Nhd!" Only that word came out as Ardi explained his definition.

The two of us threw laughter at each other along the way, with Ardi telling me I was good at school, and I who was great refused to be equated with the descendants.

"Loe's a sinter Dis, I'm sure Loe can get in there if Loe wants to," Ardi still chattered with his jokes.

"More stress Loe!"

"Seriously, Dis."

"Gue Muslim Di," With a look of sorrow I said.

"Au ah dark." I gave up on arguing again, not just because I couldn't answer. But also because the legs begin to feel tired due to walking continues.

Just as I was about to walk towards the zebra cross Ardi pulled my wrist. "Where are you going?" tanyakanya.

"Nyebrang again, right?" ask me to answer the question.

"Soto!" ledek.

I followed Ardi who was standing on the sidewalk, and before long, Ardi stopped a passing public transport. I could only follow him, when he told me to get into the armature.

After the angkot sped up, I reopened the conversation with Ardi, asking for his next destination.

"Where else are we going?"

"Let's rest in the garden of Sempur" he replied.

"Why ride an angkot? there will be a way to Jalak Harupat" I protested.

"Gue tau Loe cape .. anyways I still need to go to Jambu Dua, then we continue to Jalan Padjajaran." he explained at length.

"Oh," That's the only word that slides off my lips.

Angkot that we are riding now has stopped in front of a Mall building with a logo of two guavas on top of the building. Buildings with pink paint, usually indeed often used as a place to hang out young children. There is a foodcourt area downstairs, and electronics and a super market on the top floor. In this mall usually people who want to sell used electronics they will sell on the ground floor, while to buy new items, they will prefer to search upstairs.

Ardi continued to step his feet through the front parking lot of the building, one by one we climbed the stairs, and so it arrived, there we will be welcomed by some SPG or SPB from various electronic products, especially those related to gadgets.

Ardi asked me to turn right from the end of the stairs, after which, he immediately sat in front of a Mobile counter. As soon as the counter waiter saw it, Ardi was immediately approached, from their style of shaking hands, it seemed like they knew each other, And it turned out that sure enough, the shopkeeper was his friend.

After introducing me to the shopkeeper, Ardi chatted, "Loe if you buy HP here, it's me, he owns this counter."

I just gave a big smile, which felt like pulling all my cheeks into a circle, to make my eyes narrow like closed.

Not long after, Ardi's friend came back, He gave me a phone I memorized that belonged to Ardi. "Thanks yes man," said Ardi then pamit.

"Bae-bae Loe bring people's children," led his friend as he chuckled, at a glance the friend also glanced and gave a smile to me, which I only replied with a slight smile and a small nod.

We continued on our way, and after getting out of the building, Ardi took the time to buy a soft drink for us. He thrust a bottle of drink that looks tempting with a grain of dew on the outside. And I gladly accept it.

"We got on the bus, yuk!" take her before we cross the highway with those black white stripes, in front of a red light.

"Can" I replied.

It didn't take long, a bus with a kopaja script finally stopped in front of us who were standing at the bus stop without being asked. After giving passengers inside the bus a chance to get off, we took turns.

I chose to stand with Ardi, because there was only one empty bench there. However, Ardi forced me to sit down, and occupy one empty bench.

Finally I obeyed him, and it was also a chance for me to drink the drink I had been holding.

"Now! I used to go to school here" Ardi said suddenly, making me a little surprised and almost spilled the drink I was drinking.

"I'm sorry, I don't see Loe drinking anymore" he regretted, realizing my condition.

"Gapapa, ooh so Loe went to school there," I responded as my tail focused on one of the familiar high school buildings in my ear. Ardi then replied with a nod.
