My Success for Mom's Dad
Goodbye to Jakarta

Without feeling the holiday time in the city of Jakarta will end this week. Fani and I decided to go back to my hometown immediately to complete the study last semester during high school. However, as proof that we have been to the city of Jakarta, we decided to travel around Jakarta starting from the National Monument, ancol beach and other tourist attractions. Not to forget also to enjoy the typical art of betawi and typical culinary from the city of Jakarta. 

....

Enter us at the end of the story of the city of Jakarta today, before Fani and I return to our hometown, we prepare to go home and bring souvenirs typical of Jakarta. I was in the room and prepared the things I would bring home, ranging from clothes, books, laptops, food, and so on.

After I finished I headed to Fani's room. With the condition of the boarding door that was not locked, I went straight into the room without permission. It was a little disrespectful, but it was a bad habit from Fani that I accidentally imitated. 

The unexpected happened, Fani was sound asleep and had not cleaned up the items to be taken home. 

"Fame!" with a loud tone of voice I woke Fani up. Upset indeed because buses from Jakarta to Lumajang are very rare, indeed many but have to move buses between three to four times. Because I am lazy if I have to take and get off the bus then I often travel long distances using the patas bus directly to the destination city. 

Fani immediately woke up and took her backpack when the items she would carry had not been included. Fani was still half conscious of it, she hurried out of the boarding room without even wearing footwear. 

On the one hand I was annoyed at Fani but on the other hand I wanted to laugh at Fani's silly behavior. It's a fun thing to be a laughing stock today. 

"You don't want to take your things home and you don't want to wear shoes either!" 

I laughed so hard that I felt very satisfied.

Fani gawked at her feet, with an annoyed expression she opened the backpack she was carrying and there was really not a single item that had been inserted. Fani immediately reentered her boarding room and prepared to go home. 

Because Fani just woke up I asked him to take a shower or just wash his face first so that he looks fresher.

While I helped Fani prepare the goods to be carried and put it in Fani's backpack. Do not forget to clean the bedroom because this place will soon be occupied by new boarding houses. 

"Have you finished all Ana?" Ask Fani because she sees everything is ready.

"Here you go, let's go to the terminal."

Me and Fani immediately headed to the terminal, on the way we decided to pick up the rickshaw as a last impression before our separation. Many things that became the topic of our conversation when riding a rickshaw, while at the terminal even while traveling on a bus with a destination Lumajang. 

Due to the long journey we decided to rest in the bus.

.....

Fani who has been picked up by her parents immediately say goodbye to me and immediately to the parents who have been waiting for her arrival. 

I headed home in a rickshaw because the terminal distance to the house was quite close just thirty-five minutes away using a motorcycle rickshaw. Finally I breathe fresh rural air away from the crowded city of Jakarta. 

When I got home I went to see my parents. 

"Assalamualaikum, dad, mom, I'm home" I said, smiling my hands and hugging my parents. 

"Waalaikumussalam," replied the mother with a smile. 

"Waalaikumussalam, how was the trip son?" Answer father. 

"Alhamdulillah smoothly father, I want to rest first."

"Yes son, I'll prepare some food first, yeah,"

I headed to the bedroom, not forgetting to wash my hands, wash my face and clean my body because I had just traveled a long way. I was still hiding my destination to the real city of Jakarta, which my parents knew I was just a vacation to the city of Jakarta not to find the next place of education. Luckily my father and mother allowed me to go to Jakarta. 

Maybe in my heart my parents are worried about my safety during the trip or even when I was in Jakarta. A city far enough out of my parents' reach. With communication every day is enough to calm the worry a little though only through vidio call or phone. Every day I have to see my face and hear my voice. I who was in the city of people was the same enough to see the faces of my parents, that was the key to the spirit and the key to success in the future. 

There is no stronger support than the support of both parents. All the words of parents are a prayer for me. That's what I believe from the beginning until now, because my father and mother always fight for my future and always pray for the best. 

The advice I often hear from both my parents is "Don't get tired of learning because there's no stopping to learn."

Since childhood, I have been warned to keep learning. Education is the best thing a parent can give. The hope is that with the knowledge of the child is able to solve complex life problems. Therefore parents will never get tired of reminding to learn.

This advice can mean very deep. Learning is not just in school. After graduation we still need to learn a lot more because formal education is not enough. I am so grateful that my parents gave me a good education. Because with a high intention of learning will make you able to achieve dreams.

Even the initial education of a child begins by both parents since being in the womb, at birth bahkn to adulthood. Without being aware since learning to talk, learning to walk, learning to write, learning to teach starting from the mother who taught him. It is not wrong to say that the first teacher of life is a mother. 

....

Since the time of my return and Fani, I began to feel lonely but with the determination of college in Jakarta I still decided the school spirit for my future. Since last meeting with Fani at the terminal we lost contact and never met again. It turns out that friendship is not as easy as flipping the palm of the hand, when it is rare to meet the possibility to keep communicating. But I always think positively about him maybe he is busy preparing for the next study just like I am currently experiencing. A little pensive to remember the memories of this one month that was always together with Fani, the longing was quite healed.
