"Whataaa? I want to go to South Korea!"
Keisha was very surprised to hear that her sister was going to Korea, she did not know that her brother had to go there because there was an international match. Keisha did not care about it, Keisha was immediately taken for granted when Rizaldi mentioned the name of the country famous for the most advanced medical technology and also the entertainment industry that ruled the world for decades.
Many people who know South Korea only from the entertainment industry, such as Boyband and Girlband or Korean drama series are so phenomenal. In addition, there are also those who are familiar with this country because this country has a lot of plastic surgery practices.
But however, South Korea is really a very developed country in the field, even their biggest income is from the industry so do not be surprised.
Keisha knew that, he was crazy about Korean culture since elementary school. Korean dramas, Boyband and other cultures like Korean food, all of which he likes. That's why, Keisha is very interested to hear her brother wants to go to South Korea.
"I can come with bang? Can you, right?" Keisha is starting to lose control.
"What the hell deck, brother there instead of want to have fun or vacation. Brother is there because there is a match" Rizaldi tried to explain to his sister that it is not a joke.
But Keisha still did not understand. "After the game you can walk for a while" he said again.
Rizaldi tried his hardest to explain to Keisha that there was no time for it when he was there, but Keisha remained stubborn and even considered her brother inconsiderate.
"Big bang!" keisha said, Keisha was angry and upset with her sister and went inside her room.
Rizaldi was confused about how, because he felt he had done nothing wrong at all, Rizaldi preferred to spend his dinner quietly while listening to music from his smartphone. Not long after his mother came after work, Rizaldi just offered dinner to his mother and his mother immediately sat down because she felt so hungry.
"Where's your sister bang?" his mother said because she saw that there was only Rizaldi there.
"Keisha in my room, I think she's upset with Izal"
"Obsolute? Why is it like that?" His mother asked again because she was confused.
Finally Rizaldi also told what his case was like, Rizaldi's mother continued to nod as long as Rizaldi told a story. Now that his mother knew what was really going on and knew how to solve this, she smiled as she said. "Wait for mom to finish this sweet sour Tofu first huh"
Rizaldi did not understand much, but he could only trust his mother. When his mother finished dinner, his mother went straight into Keisha's room, Rizaldi could only wait outside because his mother told him to entrust this to himself.
Long enough they were both inside and finally her mother came out with Keisha who was down in her face. Rizaldi did not understand what was happening, but he saw his mother smiling and somehow Rizaldi felt calm seeing his smile, as if the smile was a remedy for him.
"Dragon!" keisha.
"What's the deck?" Rizaldi was a little nervous.
Rizaldi became more relieved to see that, he smiled to himself and apologized as well. "Sorry brother also yes deck, next time we go there yes, we vacation"
Keisha's eyes immediately sparkled, as if he had just heard a good thing during his life. "Any bull?"
Rizaldi only nodded but his smile seemed to say that he was serious and trustworthy, Keisha immediately hugged her brother because she was so happy. Going to South Korea is one of his dreams, although it is a bit cliche but that is the dream of the dreamers, Keisha couldn't stem her joy just because her brother promised to take her to South Korea someday to go on vacation.
"Of course not the two of us, mother also had to go with Izal later" said Rizaldi.
"Yes, I'll wait for him"
...****************...
Tomorrow at the airport, Rizaldi remembered the moment that happened last night that made it a little difficult to sleep. But today it will be even more tiring, Rizaldi and his friends will take a long trip to South Korea.
First, Rizaldi and others will depart from Syamsudin Noor International Airport to the airport in Malaysia to make a transit, then they will go from Malaysia Airport to South Korea. The average length of the journey they will pass is 7 hours more, and of course it will make them very tired.
Not to mention after arriving in South Korea, they will not only adapt to the environment and climate there, they will also feel the jet-lag after the flight.
"A long trip is a nightmare! I just want to sleep during this trip" said Martin and he immediately tried to close his eyes.
Rizaldi then looked next to him, there was Derry there. Derry also seemed to want to just take a break during this long journey, he started putting in earphones before he finally started to relax and like he did not want to be disturbed. Seeing many people like that, Rizaldi finally followed the existing groove, he also went to sleep.
Until they finally arrived at Incheon International Airport, they have arrived in South Korea. The first thing that was on Rizaldi's mind when he arrived at this airport was amazing.
Rizaldi is not wrong because this airport is one of the best airports in the world, Rizaldi feels the difference far from the airports in Indonesia. But he can't keep thinking about it, this time he's already in South Korea and he'll focus on doing his best on match day.
Now they all reach Incheon City, they have to travel another 1 hour by fast train to the city of Seoul which is the capital of South Korea, then after that take the fast train again for 2 hours drive to get to the city of Jeonju. Jeonju itself is a city that is the base of Jeonbuk football club Hyundai Motors who became their opponent later.
Today was really very tiring, this long journey was really exhausting for Rizaldi. Even he saw his comrades-in-arms who were the same age as him, they all did not look enthusiastic at all even though they were currently abroad. Maybe if the atmosphere is not like this they have enjoyed it, Rizaldi thought.
But how else, this is one of the consequences received by Rizaldi after establishing himself as a professional footballer. He should not complain just because of the long journey that seized his heart and mind, but still for Rizaldi this was felt enough to make him suffer a little.
"It seems like I'm starting to hate the so-called long journey" Rizaldi said, then he walked outside the airport to get to the MRT station.
