Started In Paris

Started In Paris
The True Friend


"O yes, where are you going tomorrow?"


I thought for a moment, sticking the tip of my finger to my chin, raising my eyebrows next. From today onwards I will explore the city of Paris and other cities perhaps, so I need a lot of time for that.


"Maybe to Fontaine Saint Michel" I said. Hearing my answer, he widened his eyes, sticking his palms to the surface of his cheeks. He's surprised? Wh why?


"I'm coming! I'm begging... I haven't been there yet" the cerocos.


Zulfa was a little surprised, but he accepted his friend's request. Now Abiel and I are in front of my apartment. He drove me to the front of the lobby, and he himself had to go back to his hotel. He told me he didn't go back to his town before his work here was done. Let's not go back and forth, that's what he said.


We parted in front of the lobby, he waved his hand. Then I went inside, immediately to the apartment unit.


Apparently Mr and Mrs Bill are still watching television in the living room, Vani is not hanging with them, maybe in his room. I just stepped my foot inside, Mrs Bill immediately told me to eat, of course I refused, considering I had eaten earlier.


I took a shower, then prayed. After prayer I intend to contact Luluk, telling him that tomorrow morning he can come to Abah and Ummi's house. However, since I was looking at the phone, there was no sign of him receiving my message, I tried to call also could not. Maybe he was busy.


I switched to my laptop, took the camera and put the camera memory into the memory port on the laptop. After moving all the videos and photos I took from the Arc de Triomphe, I charged the camera battery, so I could use it again tomorrow.


I closed my laptop, walked straight to the bed. Duh, it feels like all my bones are very sore, as if they have become a porters building only.


I put my body on the bed, Masyallah it feels very relieved. Without waiting for anything, my eyes immediately closed, drowsiness has taken hold of me. I prayed in my heart that God would always protect me in my sleep.

"Be careful on the road!"


The man smiled, then nodded at his father. He put a sling bag over his tall body, and left.


From today he will explore this city of light, he has prepared carefully the concept, he is so sure the results will be satisfactory. His face was beaming with enthusiasm, one palm holding a camera with a telle lens, he managed to buy the expensive camera with his own hard-earned money.


Not in vain during this time he worked in a shooting studio, so many clients, so he could afford to buy the camera. An unparalleled pleasure for him.


He walked expectantly, as far as his eyes could see he only saw the future. His father approved of every step he took, it made him more active. Bad luck happened to him when he was still sitting on the SD bench.


It was the most heartbreaking time for his family, his mother died when he was a minor. In a lack of circumstances, he tried to help his father work to support the family, especially his sister who was then a toddler.


His father said, no matter what the circumstances he had to stay in school, inevitably. As a result, every time he went home from school he helped his father work as a parking lot in a mall, sometimes he was also given money by some vehicle owners and also the chairman of the mall. He was able to continue school until he became a scholar.


He was still walking, splitting the crowd of people who had been out of nowhere to fill the sidewalk. He believes that his efforts will lead him to a good destiny.

Since I was waiting for Abiel, he has not come, but he promised to come 30 minutes ago. My head kept turning to and fro, looking for the figure of Abiel, but since then the trunk of his nose has not been seen.


I sat on a white bench near the park, holding a cell phone. This time I used a scarf, I was afraid of getting cold again, this long coat up to the knee was actually very warm when used when it was cold, but for the weather it's cold like this and it's not unusual for me to be so awful. It's useless to use this coat.


"Kimaaaaaa!" Shouted someone. I raised my head, looking for the source of the sound. My gaze stopped on a girl who was now running towards me. Finally came too.


Right in front of me he caught his severed breath. Once he coughed, I immediately gave him the mineral water I had brought from the house. He sipped slowly, then exhaled.


"Huh, thank you, and I'm sorry I was late, because I woke up bad luck" he told me. I understand the delay, it's okay. Because actually yesterday we walked very far, here and there along the city streets until home at night. I wouldn't have even woken up if there wasn't an alarm that woke me from my dream.


"Well, are we going now?"


He nodded with a smile. We then walked together along the city road, deliberately not taking a taxi, so that more experience in socializing, meeting many people, and so forth.


Along the way we met many people, whether it was tourists or native French citizens. They threw friendly smiles at us, Me and Abiel did too.



This is the second place I visited.


Fontaine Saint Michel's. It is a monumental fountain located on Place Saint-Michel in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. The monument was built in 1858-1860 during the Second Empire of France by architect Gabriel Davioud . It has been listed since 1926 as a historical monument by the French Ministry of Culture .


The place is very classic, there is a statue in front of it, there are also carvings on each wall there that add to the impression of calcic.


"Where?" Tegur Abiel's.


I stammered and then nodded. We set foot to take a closer look. However, as we were about to walk we were startled by the whistle from a policeman. Everyone who was there spontaneously looked towards the policeman. What was?


Everyone is wondering, what is it exactly? Abiel and I stared at each other, not knowing what was going on. A police officer ran to either chase after who while continuing to blow the whistle that made the ears grieve.


Just a minute waiting, no matter what happens, Abiel said the right often happens in a city like this, maybe a thief or a prankster. We continued the footsteps.


This fountain when viewed up close is very different aura, immediately my handbook stands, as if I was taken to a long time ago.


I saw Abiel's face was very happy, he did not care about me anymore, he was difficult to be in front of me while holding his camera, whether it was how many shots he took, Abiel was very enthusiastic.


I took my camera out of his bag, I positioned the lens correctly. One shot I took from the front. Time to hone my skills.


Abiel and I became strangers without knowing each other. He was busy alone, I was busy alone, he walked around here and there I don't care. I'm focusing on this camera and this rare object of mine.


Until about an hour or so I had just finished, I looked for it, I threw my eyes to all sides. It turned out that he was sitting on a white bench near the road, I immediately approached him. Looks like he's done before me.


"It's over?" I asked Smabil to sit next to him. He was sipping a bottle of water, finished drinking and then he ate a Snack that he might have brought from home.


"I'm so frustrated" he replied with a flat expression.


I was drinking, shocked to the point of choking, coughing many times. What did he do just now? Frustrating? I think from now on he was very focused on his busy life to maybe the results were maximal, then why did he feel frustrated?


I looked at his face, he looked indifferent. His mouth did not stop chewing Snack. Annoyed himself he grumbled.


"Why the hell?" Ask her.


He turned his gaze towards me, his gaze amaih tetao the same, flat. He slammed his snack in our midst.


"Originally you know yes, that was when I was busy with my object there was something that really disturbed me. There's a little boy, he's a boy, he's fat, he says he wants to borrow my camera" a three-second pause, "I think he'll use it just for photos with his friends, but he won't. After he returned my camera, I saw that the photos and videos I took of the object were all gone"


I'm surprised I'm not playing.


"He removed it Zulfaaaa... Clean there was nothing left, but I tried hard to get it with maximum results" he began to grumble, "then is this the reply?"


I let my eyes go, feeling sorry for my friend. I saw him working hard to get maximum results, then easily, unexpectedly, all his hard work was lost instantly. Just because of a little boy.


I saw his face glum, it looked like he was angry, sad, frustrated, disappointed, everything was mixed up. No crying will return the photos and videos.


I patted him on the shoulder, trying to give him a speck of hope.


"It's okay... I understand your disappointment... Don't worry, I'll accompany you to pick up the clip again" I said comfortingly. He lifted his face, then turned to look at me. His eyes seemed to ask if I meant it.


"Until it's done" I said. Then he hugged me tightly. I felt like he was my best friend in this country. Before I thought, I wouldn't have friends when I was here, but my guess was wrong. Abiel has changed my mind.
