Chapter 21: Vacation Plan
About a week passed after the service work to fix the school, Russell did not meet his friends again. Now the school is actually temporarily closed for two weeks to carry out the construction of new buildings and also renovations. During the holidays the students are still given the task to at least fill the holiday with useful activities. Meanwhile, Russell invites his friends to gather in a hut on the edge of the rice field during the day.

"Huh?! A vacation?" Mikael
"Yes, I was told by my parents to take a vacation to Tokyo." Russell
"How long?" Rafael
"It's 8 days of vacation. Maybe we can take a 5-day vacation." Russell
"Yes, I can do it. There is no activity at all." Rafael
"What about the other one?" Russell
"I think I can, I'll try to ask the old man first." Michael said
"I can too." Ayaka
"Okay, how's that with Mikael?" Russell
"Well, I don't think my money's enough." Mikael
"Yes, my savings aren't too much either." Wisang
"Where is this.." Russell
.
Mikael and Wisang wanted to join, but because their money was not enough, and it made them unable to take a vacation. But..
"Look, I'll pay the rest." Rafael
"Eh seriously?" Wisang
"Well, it's okay, we're going to get it." Rafael
"Thank you, Raf." Wisang
"Thanks, Raf." Mikael
"Not a problem." Rafael
"Hmmm.." Mikael
"Why, Mik?" Russell
"Who's coming with you?" Mikael
"Hm.. Me, You, Wisang, Michael, Rafael, Ayaka? Is it six? Who else wants to come?" Russell
"Miko?" Mikael
"It was Ayaka who asked." Michael said
"Okay, I'll try to ask Miko. Who knows if he'll come." Ayaka
"OKAY. So we leave tomorrow the day after tomorrow. You can pack your luggage first." Russell
"You're having a ticket problem, I'll pass the money to me." Rafael
"OK on." Mikael
"OK ready." Michael said
"Let's continue in group chat. Now I'm going to pack." Russell
"Yaudah, I'm going home, too." Rafael
.
.
.
They went home to pack their luggage immediately. At night, Russell starts a conversation in a group chat.
Russell [21.08]: Have you finished packing?
Ayaka [21.09]: I know nothing else.
Wisang [21.09]: I am finished tomorrow at the very least, now want to get ready to sleep.
Russell [21.09] : Ohh okay.

Russell [21.13] : Nice
Mikael [22.35]: Sorry just opened the chat, I'll start packing tomorrow.
Russell [22.36] : Yeh, jaudah. Don't let anyone miss.
Mikael [22.40]: Calm, just calm down.
Ayaka [22.41]: There is still something online as it turns out. I thought I was sleeping.
Russell [22.42]: I have not slept yet, the most.
Mikael [22.43] : Oh yes, Ayaka. By the way Miko came along?
Ayaka [22.45]: Yes, he said he wanted to come too.
Michael [22.46] : Nice.
Russell [22.47]: Means 7 people yes.

Russell [22.48]: Okay then tomorrow again. I'm going to sleep too.
Ayaka [22.49] : Same.
Mikael [00.15]: Sepi.
.
The next day they all did a check to make sure that it was ready and no items were left behind. The plane ticket was also purchased by Rafael. Then the next day they agreed to gather in front of Rafael's house around 14:00. From Rafael's house, they will leave for New Chitose Airport, Hokkaido.
.
Finally, the day to leave has arrived. They say goodbye to their parents for the holidays. When all had gathered at Rafael's house they immediately left for the airport by car. They arrived at New Chitose Airport.
.
"The city is big too." Mikael
"Yes, it's an airport." Rafael
"Not wrong." Michael said
"Yaudah yok, we're checking in." Russell
"Yoo." Say Ayaka, Michael, Mikael, Miko, Rafael, and Wisang.
"Well, it's my first time getting on a plane." Mikael
"Sama, me too." Wisang
"I'm also just the first time." Ayaka
"Have you ever been on a plane?" Mikael
"Eh-I've never been either." Miko
"It's okay. Just a little experience." Russell
"Ready go. I can't wait." Mikael
.
After passing several procedures before the flight and having been declared ready to fly, they finally began to enter the plane and sit in their respective seats.
.
It just so happened that Russell and Ayaka were sitting next to each other.
"Are you okay?" Russell
"Eh-it's okay. By the way, what time do we land?" Ayaka
"Hmm, we'll fly at 16:00, so we should have landed around 17:35 at Haneda International Airport, Tokyo." Russell
"Where's the inn?" Ayaka
"The inn touts said we will rent *Airbnb in the Taito area. Deket kok the same Asakusa Temple, later we will also tour there." Russell
*Airbnb: Is a type of lodging that can be rented in the short term, at a price determined by the property owner.
"Well, I think it's gonna be exciting." Ayaka
"Well, I can't wait too." Russell
.
Mikael sits next to Miko.
"Where, Miko?" Mikael
"Ehh? It's safe." Miko
"Don't worry, even though I'm on a plane for the first time. But it's okay." Mikael
"Emm, i-yes." Miko
.
Rafael, Michael, and Wisang were sitting in chairs for three people.
"Hahh, look at them." Rafael
"Patience, Raf. Russell won a landslide victory in a suit." Wisang
"So how are we sitting?" Rafael
"I'm with Miko." Mikael
"Eh-uh? O-okay, though." Miko
"I am free." Russell
"I'm sitting with anybody." Michael said
"I am free too." Wisang
"It's like I'm with Russell." Ayaka
"Oh, okay." Russell
"Wait a minute!" Rafael
"Why?" Russell
"We suit first. The winner will sit with Ayaka." Rafael
"Okay, who's afraid?!" Russell
"Sit down and take suit of everything." Mikael
"As far as I am." Rafael
"Edit, Stone, Paper!!" Russell and Rafael
.
The upshot.. Rafael 0-5 against Russell. Back on the plane.
"Well, how else." Rafael
"But you guys know how filial work was yesterday?" Wisang
"What's up, Wis?" Michael said
"Russel's filial work with Ayaka was alone in the rooftop." Wisang
"Is that why they're on duty there?" Michael said
"Then from that. I don't want to lose to Russell!!" Rafael
"As much as you are, Raf. I'm gonna eat first." Michael said
"Well, don't do that, who do you support? Me or Russell?" Rafael
"Hmm, don't know me. I want to eat too." Wisang
"Yeah, I eat too." Rafael
.
Not so felt the journey about 1 hour 30 minutes has passed. They all arrived at Haneda International Airport, Tokyo safely. After getting off and picking up the luggage. They took a taxi, to their lodging place in the Taito area.
"Okay, we're taking a cab now." Rafael
"The Airbnb's on Taito huh?" Russell
"Yes, Airbnb with 4 double beds." Rafael
"Well, does that mean 1 person will sleep alone?" Mikael
"Yeah, we'll suit again to determine who gets 1 double bed alone." Rafael
"Hmm, may be your idea." Wisang
"May I get." Michael said
"I'm with Miko on 1 double bed." Ayaka
"Yes, that's it." Russell
"OK on." Mikael
"Oh yeah, by the way how many more minutes, Raf?" Russell
"From the airport to Airbnb should be about 22 minutes. So maybe another 15 minutes will be there." Rafael
"Okay, nice." Russell
.
.
.
Finally after the taxi ride, they have arrived at Airbnb which they have rented in the Taito area as their lodging place for the next 5 days.
"Yosh, this is our Airbnb." Said Rafael while opening the door.
"Good, good place too." Wisang
"Wide as well, Miko." Ayaka
"Yes." Yeah." Miko
"Well, you sleep." Michael said
"It's 8pm, Mich." Mikael
"Yes free anyway, if you want to sleep please. You know, tomorrow we're going to Asakusa in the afternoon, and the night of the Tokyo Skytree?" Rafael
"Well, can you." Russell
"Oh, let's sleep first." Mikael
.
After cleaning themselves, they also do a suit back to determine who deserves 1 double bed alone.
"This time I won't lose." Rafael
"I am too." Mikael
"Yosh's. I'm ready." Wisang
"OKAY. Scissors, Stone, Paper!!" Michael, Mikael, Rafael, Russell and Wisang.
"YESSS!!" Michael said
Apparently Michael won the suit and entitled to sleep alone in 1 double bed. After that they turn off the lights and sleep on the bed.
Double Bed 1: Ayaka and Miko
Double Bed 2: Mikael and Rafael
Double Bed 3: Russel and Wisang
Double Bed 4: Michael's
"That's Michael hockey." Russell
"Yes, he's good at double beds alone." Wisang
"Judah is Wis, I want to sleep first. Tomorrow's our first day." Russell
"Yes.." Wisang
.
1 hour passed.. Now the time is 23:30.
"What the hell, Mik." Rafael
"You know, I don't get the blankets." Mikael
"Akh, that's you." Rafael
"Woi, don't slide around?!" Mikael
"You see, it's right here in the middle!!" Rafael
.
Meanwhile Wisang who had not slept saw their behavior.
"What's that stupid thing I just saw?" Wisang
"Hoamm. instead fought dong, I woke up. Yeez, Wis. Sleep again." Russell
"Yes." Yeah." Wisang
.
"The real mom?! I'm just in this part." Rafael
"Emang so much to know. Fair this." Mikael
"Where is it fair?!" Rafael
"Weh Raf?! Don't slide, I'm going to fall..!!" Mikael
*BRUKKK
"ASDID..." Mikael
"HAHAHA.. So don't slide around mulu." Rafael
.
"What the hell are you?!" Ayaka
"The title of our lives, Raf." Mikael
.
