Prologues
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Here I am now. Schipol Airport, Netherlands. I immediately turned on my phone to call my mother and it was not lifted. I just realized because the time difference seems to be at home at midnight.
I walked around looking for my very easy-to-recognize luggage among the other suitcases. Because my old suitcase was covered with pekalongan batik cloth. Not without reason I deliberately do it so as not to have trouble looking for it
After finding my suitcase. I walked down the airport to the Immigration counter
***
A Bule man with his large body was standing guard at the immigration counter preoccupied by dozens of documents on his desk.
"Hi good morning." Said the officer looking at me and gave a greeting
"Morning" I answered briefly in response to her greeting
Then I handed him my documents.
He's looking at my passport and my sailor's book. Then his eyes looked at my face and looked back at my passport then looked at my face again and looked back at my passport for several times.
It is certain that he is trying to match my real face with the photo on my passport.
***
A few minutes later, he decided to let me out of Airport , which meant I was accepted into the country.
I cheered happily in my heart.
"Okay, go ahead" he said, returning my documents through a glass hole in his counter.
I also walk. Towards exit door.
I breathe the air inside. Ah very fresh so this feels like Dutch air huh?
Shuttle bus came to pick me up. There were also some crew members sitting there. I went inside, looked around and sat next to one of the crew, not a word came out of our mouths because he was busy with his gadget.
***
About 40 minutes later, we finally arrived at the Pier or harbor. Seen a magnificent Cruise Ship parked there. His luxury is inevitable as I often see in film but on the other hand. It was also like a floating prison. But it's more than I have to marry that polar male. It's much better.
"Hi, Aditama Lanthana?" greet someone approaching me whom I slack off with just a nod.
Tough guy, tall, Asian skin. He wears the Officer's uniform, with full attributes. Setrip black on his shoulders. Black tie With our company logo pin. I saw the Indonesian flag on his chest. But his name is not so clearly visible.
People don't have to see him twice just to say he's handsome. Yeah, he's pretty good-looking!
"How was your flight? Was it nice?" the question I answered with another nod.
I didn't talk to him much because I wasn't sure if he was Indonesian or not.
Then I asked him for his citizenship.
"Are you Indonesian?" tanyaku with a little rigid to ascertain whether he is Indonesian in accordance with the flag symbol in his nametag .
"No, Iam Filipino, "he said with a faint smile in response to my question, and it turned out that he was not an Indonesian but a Filipino.
But I still wonder why the nametag is Indonesian-flagged. What he was mengjawiku because when viewed from the look of his face it seems he is the type of person who likes to prank and very ignorant.
***
A few seconds passed by for some reason his laughter broke out filling the Pier Area.
"Hahaha I'm an Indo. Don't read my nametag!" he said, it turned out to be true that he was indeed pranking me.
"God just knew this guy's song" I said in my heart, again I just smiled faintly in response to his joke.
"Ana aja" I answered briefly explaining how she should call me.
I know that overseas people put a surname in front of a real name. But should he call me by my father's name. Just be right.
...The Dutch State-flagged Cruise Ship...
***
A few minutes later he led me into the boat and kept me chatting
"Okay Ana, we go into the Marshalling Area yes" he said and invited me into an area called Marshalling, a place located not far from Gangway (the entrance of the ship).
I kept following him to climb the stairs while carrying my suitcase, tired of carrying a suitcase while climbing the stairs.
"Eh Lu, are you tired? why don't you tell me I'm throwing the ladder." The man asked to make sure that my condition was indeed without question was clear if I was very tired.
Instantly he pressed the button next to him and the staircase turned into an escalator.
Geez, why not from earlier anyway, my inner.
"Udahlah, it's up as well" my snort was annoyed to respond to the action and again he laughed.
***
A few minutes later we arrived at the cabin crew corridor. Cabin is the crew room. And for the guest room we call it a stateroom even though the two are the same only different terms.
Arriving in front of my cabin, he gave me some items.
"So, this Cabin key lo (key room in the form of a card) there is a safety book also in it just read it all yes. Entar uniform, shoes etc following. If there is anything directly call my number" he said explaining every item I got from him.
I held a card with a magnet on the edge . Oh so this is my cabin key. I put the key in and the door opened, but I forgot something
"Eh, what's your name? " i asked him to remember we had not been acquainted since, but he had not yet answered someone calling him from afar.
"Rizal!! you're being sent to the Crew Office now! " a crewman shouted at him saying what his name was. I either heard wrong or not. But what I heard was this guy named Rizal
Oh so his name is Rizal huh, I thought. I entered the cabin and the door closed automatically.
But it was as if he did not accept my behavior that immediately closed the door before listening to the answer.
"Woyy said it was my name? just play in and out!" he shouted from outside the door asking why I closed the door without saying goodbye.
"I know it. Your name is Rijal, right?" my mouth from the inside mentioned his name as I heard just now which turned out to be upsetting him.
"Rijal Rijal's son ! this is my business card! "
He inserted his card through the bottom door hole as if he did not accept that I think his name is Rizal
I immediately got the name card I inserted in the envelope along with other item items
It's pretty dizzy to learn all this because it's my first day here, but my faith is so strong. I encouraged myself to stay strong. I believe God's destiny is the best. If this is what I need to do, why should I complain.
I decided not to give up on my family's fate at home. I want my family to be happy and free from all financial problems
I'm sure I can adapt quickly. All this time everything I went through always ended smoothly even though sometimes sharp gravel stopped my steps but still I could go through.
I looked around the cabin. I looked inside because this place was going to be my room for the next ten months.
I'll go to work from this place and come back to this place again.
This place will be my home for as long as my contract lasts. I should try to position myself as comfortable as possible here
Because how can I feel at home during work if my work place alone does not make me comfortable.
Imagining the next ten months of being on this ship makes me a little worried. Can I survive? survive under all circumstances, survive to be away from my family.
Surviving just hanging a cell phone as my communication tool with my family at home which usually only with one scream the whole house can hear my voice.
At first glance, the shadows on the faces of my Father, Mother and Sister. Father who loved me so much, Mother who was firm but gentle, a sister whom I loved dearly. Their faces were all around me. The fleeting sound of their voices heard in my ears made my heart crumple.
I assure myself that this will not last long.
Time will not be fast if we enjoy it. Not hard times will feel easy if we are able to behave properly.
Does not God give sunshine again after the rain falls. Is not God not going to test his people beyond his limits.
