After going through the selection process of administration and health tests Nia passed accepted at the electronics company, the company is a Japanese company that operates in neighboring countries.

"Take care of yourself Nia, sorry I can't take you to the airport, tomorrow I have a parent meeting at school at your sister's school"
"Yes it's okay ma'am.anything Nia brangkatnya troupe, many friends of Bu "
Hardly, Nia let her mother go home leaving her, tomorrow is the day of her departure to a foreign country that has never been tracked at all.

The next day Nia departed from the shelter to Soekarno Hata airport with friends who are a group.
Twenty-one people left that day. At first they did not know each other because they all came from different cities, after being in a new group they introduced each other.
In the plane Nia clingak-clinguk, this is her first experience on an airplane, before she only knew what the picture was like.
Nia was sure her other friends were the same as her, she smiled wryly this is how it might be if the villagers went abroad.
Suddenly when Nia took off a little trembling, her heart was racing
"Oh Allah, protect your servant. "his do'a in heart, he closes his eyes, his hands clinging tightly to the chair he sits on.
A moment later the plane was already hovering in space, Nia felt a little calmer and could master the situation.
Without him noticing that there was a pair of eyes observing his movements from earlier, the person sat next to Nia but not a line with her.
She smiled at Nia's behavior, she was attracted to the girl since at the shelter yesterday, the girl's cute attitude and tomboyish style attracted her attention, she felt the girl was different, not the same as the usual girl.
An hour drive Indonesia - Malaysia, finally Nia climbed a foreign land for the first time, "May this country can be friendly with me. "the prayer Nia in heart.
"Friends, please gather for a while" Dedi who is believed to be the leader of the group called all of his entourage's friends.
"Friends, according to the instructions, there will be people from the company who will pick us up here, I hope friends do not go far from the group, afraid of something happening, I hope friends do not go far from the entourage, if anyone wants to go to the toilet please go to the toilet first, but later gather again here yes.. " Dedi ended his announcement.
"Ready.." All answered in unison
"Nia, you want to go to the toilet." asked Rara
"Where is the toilet.." Rara clingak clinguk looking for a toilet
Rara is a friend that Nia knows at the shelter, she likes Rara who is friendly, Rara has a sweet face with a high posture, many male friends who are a group trying to get close to Rara.
"Come.." Nia pulled Rara's hand
"Is that WC there?" ask Rara confused
"Yes, it's Water Closet Ra" Nia said,
"Oh yeah. yeah." Rara smiled "So if the WC is here Tandas ya.." continued Rara, he smiled amusedly.
Nia followed up smiling "First lesson, here don't look for WC but Tandas!" chirping Nia, the two of them then laughed.
Finished from the toilet Nia and Rara rejoined their entourage who were sitting in the waiting chair partly, partly standing, there was also a walk relaxing the muscles around the entourage.
Nia and Rara chose to sit on the empty seat.
"Ra, you're Sumedang's real tea." wondered Nia starting the conversation
"Original! just since leaving High School I live in Bandung, because the father works in Bandung" answered Rara while opening her backpack, she looked for a bottle of water that she brought from Indonesia this morning.
"You don't want to drink, but I only have one bottle" Rara continued, thrusting a bottle of mineral water towards Nia.
"You drink first Ra, I'll have the rest" replied Nia.
"Yes already.." Rara opened the bottle then gulped down her water, looking she was very thirsty after being satisfied she thrust her remaining on Nia, Nia then spent ya without any more waste.
Although new to Rara, Nia feels she and Rara like they have known for a long time, especially Nia and Rara are both native to Sumedang if the Sundanese say one karuhun.
"Nia, Ko long ago who picked us up tea, it's nine o'clock!" Rara showed her watch to Nia.
"Prophe Ra, may still be on the way" Nia said.
Not long after, "Friends gathered for a while" Dedi called all the troupe to putty
"Friends, Thank God the bus that picked us has come, please friends check their luggage - each of them should not be left behind, after that we are the same down to the parking area." Dedi gave instructions to all the members of the entourage.
In the parking area there was a bus waiting, all the members of the group climbed into it. Dedi complains one by one his friends, afraid that someone will be left behind.
"Alhamdulillah already kumplit all, friends let us before leaving we both pray for our salvation each , so that we all survived to the goal." Dedi leads the do'a.
Finally, the bus they boarded went to Johor Darul Takzim, where the foreign exchange fighters would start their days in the future, where they hoped there would be a better life, for themselves as well as for the families they left behind in Indonesia.
The bus that they were riding continued to drive from Kuala Lumpur to Johor, all the way almost as soon as it fell asleep due to fatigue, only Nia was still awake.
Nia looked out the window at the expanse of oil palm plantations along the road they were going through, a stretch she had never seen before, there was a slight feeling of worry in his heart when he realized he was now somewhere foreign that had never been imagined before, the fact is that he is here now and inevitably he has to face whatever happens later.
