Anesta And Mahesa
Museums

"This time I forgive you, Ben"

"Here it is, I don't want our streets to be ruined because of this"

"Okay, where are you taking me?"

"We're going to the museum. The place you like the most" she displayed her best smile.

It turns out that he never forgets any of my favorite tourist attractions. In addition to the outdoors, I also really like museums.

I don't like to climb mountains. I'm allergic to cold and can sneeze all day if the air feels cold, not to mention my nose is runny. Uhhh, not something I want to feel.

I also don't really like to go somewhere that requires a big challenge, one of which is climbing a mountain.

When I go to a city, I usually look for a museum. I learned to know the civilization of the area, how an area was formed and what was behind it. I like to study history. I think it's fun. It was like finding and getting puzzle pieces.

Once upon a time, my friends and I attended campus activities in the area of Kaliurang. The activity was followed by several campuses from Jogja, Solo, Semarang and Purwokerto.

As always, we love exploring new areas. Never feel at home to stay in the room or inn. Tomorrow our schedule starts to be crowded until the next few days. If we have time to take a walk. Maybe I can find something interesting.

After chatting with some roommates, some were from Dance School in Solo and from Jendral Sudirman University. I rushed out of the room to find my friends. I hope they are still waiting. I saw them being engrossed around a buffet table consisting of several welcome dishes. There is a porridge of warm green beans, fried cassava, fried bananas, mendoan and two kinds of drinks namely wedang ginger and wedang uwuh. Wedang uwuh a warm drink consisting of spices tastes sweet and is slightly spicy.

Two drinks that are very suitable are served in cool air places such as kaliurang.

It is fitting that they feel at home sitting here, apparently there is a nutritional improvement for children. I saw them laughing so happily.

"Hi Nes, here!"

"Ooo, pantesan yes on the felt. Lots of food apparently"

"Well, when else?"

"I thought I was left behind"

"For a long time Nes, just put the bag down"

"And I have to make small talk with my roommate. Cook abis put the bag directly I stay away"

"Which son is your friend?"

"There's a Solo Dance kid with Unsud"

"Oh, I'm the same Jogja boy"

"Eh, Nes! There was something clear. You are long ago, from earlier he stood here continuously" meant the word clear-clear is a handsome guy.

"Even, if the same is clear, it will not be missed. That's why it's so good"

"Well, the mining UPN kid" Sita said half-whispering.

"Wooo, what a joke!"

"Husss, don't be so hard on Nes!. Shame on!"

"Here are many UPN Anesta's children" Riris pried my arms.

"Not to be ashamed"

"Yes yes. I'll tell you which one it is"

"Beres, as long as your mouth is guarded. Watch out if you say it out loud!" looks like Riris' threat is no joke.

"I'm a batak who's contaminated with you. It's kalem"

"While, you are if you are excited again yes lost calmnya"

"Yuk, we're going! I'm still here. Can distend my stomach later"

We went to roam the surrounding area, not only I-Sita-Riris but also had a few other friends come along.

"Heh, Nes! That's the guy" Sita whispered in my ear, pointing with her eyes out. Impressive on the spirit, it turns out to be really handsome.

"Aren't you interested in Nes?"

"What interest?"

"Near near"

"Who? Me?. Nope! "

"Why?"

"This is what I tell you. Handsome guys do not need to look for attention who want too much so they are calm-alem not most behavior"

"If the ugly guy is usually pretentious seek attention so most of the behavior. It's Nes"

"Hayo, which liver to eat?"

"Where is Ris' theory?"

"Lho, what's the theory?. It's reality. Phenomena. You never make observations?"

"Even so, it doesn't need most theories. Yes, I challenge Ris. If you can decetin the handsome, at least tukeran no phone and address only. I'm buying Yu Sri pecels to fullness"

"Too cheap that"

"That's the way it is"

"Yes, it doesn't mean you need to fight me"

"Make Ris entertainment. Dare not?"

"Yes, I accept your challenge" and we shake hands, laughing out loud.

Later I lost and had to treat Riris to eat pecel Yu Sri until she was full. I can't believe that Riris nan ayu and slim-bodied spent 3 pecels and a few additional side dishes.

Coming home from the treaty event, I immediately nagged because I had to drain my piggy bank. Riris laughed happily.

Back to the story of me and my friends exploring the kaliurang area near our inn.

No matter the drizzle dripping down the jacket, we kept walking. For us it was like an adventure.

We came to a place that resembled the entrance to the cave, where many branches of trees that protruded to cover the door. Mysterious and haunted. We stared at the door and gathered the courage to enter. Actually we are timid, but because of the crowds as if looking brave.

"Please come in" we were suddenly startled by the voice of a very friendly father. Sita almost shouted in surprise.

"What is this place, sir? Can we come in? Serem isn't sir?"

"This is the Ulen Sentalu Museum. About two hours closed. If you want to look around please, there will be a guide"

We were excited to go inside by first paying for the entrance ticket.

Inside we were guided by a very beautiful guide. Tell me the full story of the museum. In the museum will be found some relics of the daughters of the palace of Jogjakarta. Including letters, photographs, clothes and poems.

I felt at home inside, listening to the story that slid from the lips of a beautiful and capable guide. I like to look at historical objects, read the letters and captions written there. At the end of the trip we were treated to drinks like sweet herbs. It was a beautiful afternoon with a meaningful trip.

A few years later I went back there, not with my friends. The atmosphere is different, more modern. There is no more appearance of a door like entering the mouth of a cave filled with tendrils. But it turns out that I prefer the atmosphere of the past, its mysterious look. I miss my friends too. My journey was different without them.

Ben, take me to the Elephant Museum. Which contains archaeological objects, statues, statues. And various historical objects, ethnography, geography. L like it.

As usual, I will look carefully at each of the writings. I know Ben doesn't like museums, he does it for me.

I really appreciate his efforts to please me.

Sometimes while observing those things, at first glance I glanced at his bored-looking face. I smiled too.

"Well, are you Ben?"

"No, I'm at home" she lied.

"A little while now, huh?".

He nodded his head while smiling.

"Where are we going?"

"There's one more museum I want to show you"

"Not going to the museum anymore"

"Seriously?"

"Yes, we're gonna eat a truck and drive me home, okay?" I see him disappointed. Maybe he still wants to stay with me.

"I don't want to be tired and tomorrow I'm not fit to go to the office"

"Okay, then Nes!"
