The Colorful Work World
Ch. 151 Watching During Pandemic

“Wake up Ray, pray first” Rendra said while shaking my body.

“Hmm? is it dawn? ok. Bentar, cuss life first”

Slowly I began to sit for a while, and then I stood up fully. He said we wake up. Don't wake up too suddenly. Ntar appeared what disease it is, whether true or not the information.

After being literate, I pray after ablution first. Then we continued the conversation until it was time to go to the mall. Today I'm going to watch an anime movie with Gusti. It's been a long time since I've done this with him. Even before the pandemic, I often frenetic if there is an anime film aired in Jakarta.

Because for now, rarely all cinemas show anime films. Only a certain cinema. From the city of C, the closest movie theater that used to show anime movies is an hour away. It is quite far from where my house is.

Fortunately anime films do not appear too often so there is a break. Also tired if once a month have to travel far just to watch a movie. Mending is just waiting to air online through a legal platform.

I must have taken a shower and was neat when I left for the mall. I have also done worship so that later when I get there, I just go to watch a movie. Then continue the journey with travel. I went back to C.

Before there, I had bought onigiri snacks first. Because rarely this snack is sold in the city of C. Only minimarkets in certain places sell it. Rendra and I went to the mall using an online motorcycle taxi. While waiting, we both parted ways with Zul first. Because he had to go a different route with us.

The journey to the mall does not take long. It's only about tens of minutes. Me and Rendra went down in the same place. When we arrived, we were planning to separate. Because Rendra and I have different goals going into this mall.

“Loh Ray's. How's it going that way? Movies in this direction.” Said Rendra while driving my way.

Rendra works in this mall so he has memorized the location plan. Because I rarely go to this place. Cause me stray and don't know where the movie theater is. He said he stayed in the elevator, it turned out that the elevator in this place was more than one, so I was confused which elevator to choose.

*Ting*

We finally got on and then got off the elevator after getting to the destination floor. Just like most lifts. Inside the elevator, there is a floor plan for each floor. Of course we went straight to the viewing spot. Not going anywhere else.

Until there, I finally met Gusti who had come first. I introduced myself briefly to Rendra. Then we parted ways with me following Gusti into the cinema. While Rendra went to the muterin mall to find the goods he was looking for.

In some theaters, tickets purchased online do not need to be printed. We just need to show proof of payment. Pretty sophisticated, but a bit less how if we watch but do not hold the ticket.

Arriving at the viewing spot, I finally started watching the movie together with Gusti.

*Finished watching the movie*

“Wow, great movie.” I said while wiping my tears.

I don't know why I'm so excited to see this movie. This is not a sad movie, but a movie about fantasy and adventure. Maybe because I'm a big fan of this movie franchise. There are already versions of the game until several spin-off novels have been made. Gusti and I started going out of the movie theater talking about the movie we saw.

I also started to contact Rendra, because we had to go together to get to the place where the trip was leaving. If it is too long, fear we are left behind by travel and the ticket can be charred.

“tuut.. Hello Rendra? Where are you again? I'm done watching nih”

Together with Gusti, I went around looking for the whereabouts of my friend this one. Because this mall is quite spacious, I had confusion and stray where to look for him. A few minutes in circles, we finally managed to meet again.

“How the hell are you bro. Can stray that, hahaha” Ejek Rendra while holding back laughter.

Just a little smile I could give her. Naturally I stray, because only twice I went to this mall. Unlike Rendra who has worked in this place and has memorized the routes of the road in it. Gusti is the same as me, even he has never been to this place at all.

After meeting again, the three of us started looking for a place to eat. Gusti and I haven't had lunch because the time has come from the movie's airtime. Finished muter-muter, we finally decided to eat in a Japanese-style restaurant. In a place like this, I ordered my favorite menu, kare. I don't know why I love the food that's there.

“Mbak, we order ya”

The three of us started to say our orders. We all ordered different food. Rendra himself did not order food and only ordered drinks. He ate while we were watching.

While waiting for the order to come, we spend time talking a lot about the latest animanga news. If ordinary people see us, surely they shout ‘wibu’. But that's not true. Because we don't use the attributes of the pitch and also don't speak Japanese. Unfortunately the meaning of ‘wibu’ has shifted due to a lot of information circulating. Many people do not know the true meaning of this term.

“This is a table order 3. Please enjoy. Orders are all yes kak”

“It's complete mbak. Thank you.”

“Come bro, we eat first.” I said while taking the prepared chopsticks.

After we finished our meal, we paid for our order and then went to the exit. When it came out, the three of us immediately ordered an ojek online in accordance with our destination. Gusti had a different destination, so he went home first.

“Mas Ray's. I first ya.”

“Yes, be careful Gusti. We will gather again sometime.”

Gusti ordered the motorbike so that the motorcycle arrived faster. Unlike me and Rendra who booked a car to go to the place where the travel was. After waiting for a few minutes, the trunk of his nose was not visible either. I started to fret and ask Rendra constantly when the car would come.

“Casual Ray, it's still a long time. Short of it also comes ojolnya.”

Even though Rendra said that, I'm still worried. Not exciting if later even late to travel. A few minutes later, the car we ordered arrived.

“That's Ray. Just relax, have come to his car” Me and Rendra get in the car and immediately slide towards our destination.

On the way, we chatted a little while I watched the road. I rarely stop in Jakarta. Until now I have not memorized the streets that are here. Even the name of the station I don't memorize the sequence.

Like Jakarta in general, many cars and congestion are everywhere. Lucky I was not the one holding the steering wheel, so I just enjoy the scenery casually. Without having to spend energy to get through traffic.

“Where is the parking lot?” Ask the driver.

“This is it sir. Thank you” Rendra directs drivers to stop at a place.

After the car stopped perfectly, Rendra and I started getting out of the car. We do not need to pay cash because everything has paid off with an e-wallet. Making sure no items are left behind, we continue the journey to the location of the travel is located.

The departure place of this trip is quite unique. Being in a hotel. The hotel looks great and magnificent. But I see, there don't seem to be many guests staying here. When I went to the hotel receptionist alone, the atmosphere was dark and the atmosphere was rather creepy. We both went to the hotel just to go to the toilet.

Out of the bathroom, we finally went to the travel office and just waited for travel departure.

“Travel to city C! Please ride.”

“It's time huh?” I said as I got out of my chair.

One by one, the passengers began to climb into the car. I also started riding after confirming where the seat number I had. Don't let me occupy someone else's place. After everything was safe, I spent time on the road looking at the scenery and playing with my phone.

Different from when you take the bus. Traveling is more comfortable. It's cool because the air conditioner is cold. As well as the atmosphere is calm because the people are relaxed and not noisy. The number of male and female passengers is quite evenly distributed. Every female passenger who climbed I had noticed with a glance, because some of them were beautiful.

I also occasionally look towards Rendra. He casually spends time watching youtube, or drawing using his ipad. As I began to sleep on the way, I began to close my eyes and began to fall asleep.

“City C! Passengers with a destination C city please get off”

“???” I woke up when I heard that we had reached our destination.

“Come down Ray, later on bring you back to Jakarta. Hahaha”

Rendra started to get off travel and then booked an ojek online. I also did the same thing and started the driver message as well. We have a different direction so we are here.

“Thank you to Rendra for his help. Take a walk this time. If there's time, we'll do something like this again.”

“Yoi bro, be careful yes on the road.”

After separating from Rendra, I started riding the motorcycle that I had ordered. Then get home safely. Now all I do is.Rest at home.

Although I'm quite happy traveling like this. Do not travel often. Time is drained a lot and also the cost is not exactly cheap. Maybe okay if only occasionally. But if it becomes a routine activity. I can only shake my head. I prefer to play games at home.

About what will I do next?
