"How are you, everything ready? " Ask our mother to us while looking at the things we were about to bring.
This time we will travel to P. The city that will later become the place where Yana studied. The journey from our city to there is quite far. That's why we accepted bude Weni's offer to take us. With Pakde Tarno of course.
Me, mother, Yana, and Lamda will go with them. While Arip did not come because he still had to work in Jakarta. As a result, I am the oldest brother who accompanies mother to travel far. I also happen to not have a job. So you have time to travel far.
We agreed to go with Bude because I was not allowed to drive out of town. Though I dare to be brave, as long as ngak impromptu and I can be ready first. If you are driving, you should not be sleepy. Must sleep and rest before traveling long distances.
Probably because I was a passenger too often. So that the inn if you ride the car must be sleepy. But luckily while being a driver, I have never felt sleepy. If that happens, I can only pull over for a short break or change drivers. Do not force yourself to drive if you are sleepy, because it is a very dangerous thing.
"Are you ready for xxx? We started to go there. Awaiting yes. " Bude Weni said via phone line.
"Ok.we are also ready here. "
Bude Weni and her family are attending a wedding in Jakarta. That's why they plan to pick us up in C city and then go to Tangerang city for a break. Then we went together to the city of P and then the city of Yogyakarta. Kota P to find Yana's contract and go to Yogyakarta to attend my cousin's event.
Tangerang became our resting place because there was his son Bude Weni, Livi Mbak. Livi is the second of 3 children. He has an older brother named Darius and a younger brother named Deva. Livi's mother is the only daughter of her son Bude Weni.
Livi is married and now lives with her husband. That's why we can stay for free at that place. But still, we must maintain our manners and maintain our behavior while in the house of others. This is what makes me seem unable to rest optimally later.
I don't know why everyone is out of town or traveling far. There is just this body of air feels unhealthy the same when traveling. I don't know the scientific reason why that happened. But I have some assumptions as to why I feel it.
First because I don't really enjoy the walk. It is better to be at home than to bother to go outside the house. That's why I used to when the covid came and was forbidden by the government to leave the house. In ordinary times, I don't like to walk.
Second, due to location changes. The same time we first climbed the mountain. This body will feel the impact when our location changes rapidly. Although there are some people with bodies that adapt quickly. Maybe the case for me is a little different. It is more difficult to adapt to new environments.
We think the two things above are what I think makes this body often feel not fit when traveling far. Although there is time for rest, it seems that the percentage of effectiveness of the activity is smaller than sleeping at home.
Even so, I inevitably have to go out of town to accompany mom. Because I had to replace my father as the oldest man in the family. Surely it is not easy, but if we do not start to step up and become a better person from now on, when else?
If this activity cannot be avoided, I can only try to enjoy this trip as best I can. Who knows, I might find inspiration for a new novel. Inspiration can come from anywhere and at any time.
tok tok .
I heard a knock on the door from the front of the house. Have they come? If that's true, they arrived sooner than our family thought.
*krek* I opened the door then saw Pakde Tarno\, Bude Weni\, and also mas Deva had stood in front of me. They had finally reached home after attending the wedding of their relatives.
"Well, come on Bude, Pakde, mas Deva. Please enter. "
I immediately allowed them to enter the house. The mother who was in the room at this time had left the house and started chatting with them. The activity was mama selingi while preparing the goods we will bring. Because there are still things that have not been done in packing..
They chat I followed because my position is currently in the living room. Time yes there are guests come far away not invited to chat. Cross-age talks happened. This made me have to think hard to follow their conversation. Because sometimes there are topics that I still don't understand.
When I was a kid, I couldn't talk to adults because I talked to older siblings. Not talking to adults because of course later will not connect the chat.
Now that I am an adult, slowly what they are talking about I can understand. Although mostly I only hear the right ear coming out with the left ear. Sometimes, there are conversations of adults that are heartbreaking or irrelevant to the present day.
The important thing is to understand now. Filter the information we receive. Because the information we get now is too much. We must be smart to sort through data that is useful and useless to us. Useful information we keep while the useless we throw away.
It was in this condition that the conversation went on until our family was ready to leave.
"Are you ready for xxx? Let's go. " Pakde Tarno said when he saw our luggage was ready.
"Of course you're ready, let's go Pakde! "
We finally started putting our luggage one by one into the car. A long trip like this we have to bring clothes, toiletries, towels, and other personal needs. The more people who leave, the more luggage we have to prepare.
Since our family has 4 people, there is no question what kind of luggage we need. Hopefully with this car we use, the luggage in the car is enough to save it. It is not good if due to our luggage, the trip becomes uncomfortable because the car luggage is over capacity.
"Let's all go in. No stuff left behind, right? Let's go"
After all the luggage goes into the trunk. We all started getting in the car. We left when everyone was in position.
The car starts to distarter and the end of the driver, Mas Darius. Start driving the vehicle to the Livi base in Tangerang.
I guess, what will I experience on this trip?
