Wherever You Are

Mina and Kyoto

"Citt citt"

The sound of birds chirping on a clear morning.

slowly the window opened

looks dew droplets that envelop the leaves fall slowly to the fertile ground

that morning I looked at the phone hoping something happened.

"Ting"

the notification came from my phone

"yessssss" said I who was happy to find that what I was waiting for had arrived .

"ibuuuu, I passed!!"

"really?!, my mother was happy!"

that morning, joy enveloped me

I'm a girl named Mina who just graduated High School.A few months ago I applied to a university in Japan exactly 'Kyoto University'

after a long time taking the test and entrance exam I was accepted as a student there. Indeed getting permission from both my parents was not easy but in the end I managed to convince them and eventually became one of the students in my dream place

****************

"Remember yes you have to eat regularly, do not sleep kemaleman, take care of the health of the main"

"yes yes ma'am.I understand, take care of both mother and father... Mina's leaving"

Mina kissed her parents with sobbing hearts and spilled tears

same with Mina's parents.

How not, the only daughter went to leave them out of a far country. Even so inevitably they have to give up the departure of their children because Mina must study outside according to her wishes from childhood

"i say yes Assalamualaikum..."

Mina, who was about to leave, kissed her parents' hands and waved to them, said goodbye

"Waalaikumussalam heart on the road." said his parents who had given up the departure of Mina.

................

"Ahhhhh happy to finally be able to be Japanese fortunately I have learned Japanese language should not be complicated if it has been planned" Mina only speaks for herself since the plane has taken off. the day he was waiting for had arrived, his efforts to learn Japanese long ago were not in vain. It is difficult but Mina is now fluent in Japanese language that is what she thought since then.People proud of her own ability is very not or maybe too excessive?

"Do you want to drink something, miss?" said the flight attendant who offered Mina a drink

"ahh yes I can also ask orange juice only".

"good please"

"Thank you "

…

'BORING'

that's what Mina is thinking now, she thinks her trip to kyoto will be much faster than she expected but it turns out to be beyond her expectations. He only saw a cloud on the side of the window of the plane he was sitting on

"It seems you've only seen the window since?"

Mina was stunned, the woman beside her tried to open a conversation with her. yaa Mina is not unwilling to chat with her fellow students on the plane but she is the kind of person who is a bit closed and shy for her to talk first with others will make it difficult for her

"i-iya hehe it feels like there is nothing exciting when I started boarding the plane earlier I also do not know what to do"

"Is that so? no need to use formal calls once I've introduced my name Hani just call me Hani"

the friendly woman introduced herself to Mina.

Unexpectedly it turns out this woman is very friendly Usually some people do not care about the affairs of others are not even interested in chatting to unknown people.that's Mina's first impression when the woman introduces herself

"i mean I'm Mina, nice to meet you Hani or call you sister hani?" Mina realized the woman beside her was a mature woman and older than her

"you're so smart, Mina, you look like you're younger than me. Hmm are you alone in kyoto?what is there to walk?"

"yes I was alone but I went to study there at Kyoto University

how's with you?"

"i visited my parents in Indonesia and now on my way back to kyoto"

"you're staying in Kyoto?"

"i'm married to that person" the woman said with a smile

"you married that guy?? !"

"be-so yeah"

that was how their conversation continued throughout the journey.

there are many people who are stupid beyond our expectations, meaning hey kyoto and Indonesia is very far away

Mina thought about what Hani said, according to her it was rather impossible for her to get someone in a foreign place.

How many hours later they arrived at the destination 'Kyoto'.

"it looks like we're going to split up here" Hani told Mina

"Of course hopefully we can meet again huh"

"yes see you later" while waving towards Mina and entering the ketaxi

Mina who just arrived in Kyoto was amazed to see the city

wait

compared to amazement Mina is more worried about her being alone in a big city that she does not recognize. He walked down the street of the city then looked to his cellphone to find the location of his University was located.

Not long after he boarded the taxi until he was at his destination

How stunned Mina saw the place she was going to enter now

the grand, grand building contains great people in it and Mina will be one of them

"remarkable! I didn't think I could get here without the slightest disturbance of bhahaha!!" Mina laughed proudly at her unexpected self to come this far.

"e uh" Mina was silent to find a woman standing in front of her looking at her

"Here he saw me laughing what do Japanese people think, who saw a stranger laughing himself, would I be considered crazy ?!" mina's mind didn't stop talking from now on

the woman in front of Mina who was silent suddenly laughed softly at Mina who was confused with her

"konnichiwa. I'm Riku tatoki you can call me Riku Chan! " (think of using Japanese)

the woman smiled as she extended her hand to Mina back then

The shocked Mina immediately replied

"i'm so I'm happy to meet you Riku"

"doesn't you look like you're from here, huh? "

"i am from Indonesia, I am here to study at this university" said Mina rather nervously

of course people in front of him now must think Mina is a strange person who laughs himself "Indonesia ya wah very good.hmm speaking of me Wonderful why you laughed earlier seemed so funny! "

No.kk

mina's inner voice that seemed to scream as hard as possible because it held the shame in front of her new acquaintance, what reason should be given?

"i just remember there was something funny before I got here so I laughed hahaha" Mina laughed softly withstanding the embarrassment while occasionally turning her face

good Mina you managed to give me a good reason

his pride in himself was never finished

"you're so funny Mina, I wish we could be close friends huh, ah yeah I saw a few times you paced back and forth here

there's something you're looking for, yes, I can help you"

"it's really lucky that I met you, coincidentally because this place is so big I'm so difficult to find a lecturer room xxx"

"i know where I can show you"

"thank you very much, oh yes Riku are you also a freshman here? "

"Riku chan you can call me Riku chan that way we can be kann's best friend"

"ah yes Riku chan yaa hehe"

"i'm also a freshman here just like you I happen to take up engineering field how about you Mina channn"

"was it true that I also took the same field as we would enter the same class huh, by the way mina chan is a bit strange yes because I just heard it first but I like it Riku hopefully we can be a close friend in the future, please guidance yaa~"

"Of course I am too"

such is the conversation between the two on the way to the lecturer xxx place

the initial meeting was embarrassing but this was just the beginning

maybe after this there will be many more strange and funny events that will come to Mina

who knows?
