Raffles
The coast
It was early this morning when Pitra was waiting for us in the front yard of the hall. Me, Ayu, Aldi, Yusuf, Nuril and Rika and Bella are going to the beach with Destra. Last night he did invite us to hunt the sunset while watching birds on the beach. Mitra yesterday afternoon went with Mas Adul to photograph waterbirds to a mangrove forest that is quite far from the hall.
After the mangroves they passed the beach and many water birds there.But because it was almost night they did not stop by the beach. Be last night he took me and the others to the beach this morning. He thought it would be fitting if we could see the sunrise there. So early in the morning it was still dark he had woken up and woke us up by phone. Ditra and Aldi were already waiting in front.
Buru hunted after washing my face and brushing my teeth and Nuril, Rika and Bella immediately came out to them. Where Yusuf asked. Still in the camera, replied Aldi. After Joseph came we immediately came out of the hall.
The beach is quite far, if the walk according to Pitra we will not have time to see the sunset. There was already an interesting rickshaw. Uniquely here is the existence of a motorcycle rickshaw as a public vehicle. We finally got on a bike ride to the beach. Because one rickshaw only fit four people then we were escorted by two motorcycle rickshaws.
After arriving at the beach we headed immediately we went down and paid the fare of the rickshaw that we had been riding. It is also expensive to grumble with Joseph. What is important we have arrived here, Rika replied. We could still see the sunset on the beach. What a beautiful view that morning. I finally saw the sunset on the beach. One more list in my book will soon be contrasted.
The air and morning sun coupled with the beach view that looks clean can be a costly eye wash. This beach has not been officially used as a tourist spot officially, then the management of pum is also not maximal. Access to the beach is free and there is no need to pay anything such as tickets or tickets. Too bad though it can be used as one of the profitable tourist destinations if managed properly. But even though it does not have an official management system, this beach is relatively clean.
We enjoy the morning air and sunshine while basking on the beach. Sitting on clean white sand. Waterbirds look a lot of flocking flying above us. Mitra and Yusuf immediately capture the moment with their respective cameras. Cool view that morning.
****
We feel at home for a long time on the beach.Air feels cool here. My phone suddenly rang. The one who called was Raffles. Ah it's been since arriving at the hall I've never called them and vice versa.
Hello
Yes hello, who answered the phone across there turned out to be a memei.
How are you, healthy?
Praise God, how about Ira and her friends over there?
Good as may
When to go back to Jakarta?
Two more days
Oh so prayed good luck to arrive in Jakarta, this memei called because Raffles he missed. The other phone calls picked up. Just Ira who lifted this, memei spoke at length from across.
I also miss Raffles, where he may be
He was wearing these school shoes
Hello brother, have you gone home?
Not yet, Raffles misses kaka e?
Okay good school e later to Java meet kaka ira.
Yes, then back again memei who spoke.
Where else is it?

The others had not woken up earlier so we went to the beach with a few people.
Oh so, well do not health e do not forget deng memei, father raffles with other friends if you return later. Be patient if you want to go back to Jakarta.
May is ready for me to tell ya
Yes already then, memei take Raffles briefly to school first.
The phone connection has been cut off. I re-joined a friend who was taking pictures. It's a shame not to take a picture. When else can I come here, right? We take lots of photos in different styles.
There's a shipwreck on the shore. Looks like the ship was left there for a long time. Only the writings of Hallelujah are still clearly visible on the ship. The wood has also begun to weathered but the shape of the ship is still intact. I took a picture of the ship on my phone.
We also had a photo with the shipwreck as the background. Looks like we're still staying at home for a long time on the beach until someone calls Aldi.
Aldi: Hello
On the phone: where are you?
Aldi: Again on the beach, why?
on the phone :ngga what the hell just quickly back already want breakfast later hunt out
Aldi: yes yes, we can eat on the road first
Aldi's phone connection was cut off. Turns out who called him Firman. We did not immediately rush home after Firman called Aldi earlier but still cool to take pictures with various styles. After that we just walked home. Because the rickshaw was quite expensive we finally decided to go home on foot. Save money.
It was still morning, the air was fresh. Consider it jogging. We passed through houses and streets that began to be crowded with people who wanted to go to work and school. Every time we cross paths with the residents we always get the same question "from where? another street in Maluku, huh? Our faces are indeed nothing that can be said like the eastern face so people easily recognize us as immigrants.
The answer we give to each who asked was the same "from Java had played to the beach".And the answer after that was almost the same "Oh deserved to look new here" .It is true that we have only been here once, I want to answer like that again but I just say it in my heart.
The sun was starting to rise and it was hot. We bought a drink on the side of the road that turned out to be almost the same price as the price of the rickshaw earlier. This is the same, the intention is to save even more to increase spending. Not to mention tired of the road to the hall. But how else have we ordered the drink is not possible we return it to the seller. So just spend it.
