The Colorful Work World

The Colorful Work World
Ch. 78 Bandung's


One day, I was washing clothes on the contract. Using my own two hands, I cleaned the clothes that had just been flooded, becoming clean again. It's the first time I've cleaned clothes that were covered in mud like this. But fortunately, there is no significant difference between washing clothes that are affected by flooding and those that are finished in everyday wear.


After I finished washing my clothes, I dried my hands and started to open my phone. I can't open the laptop because it was damaged by the flood. My current entertainment is only by using the mobile phone that I have. I saw a new notification with a message from my friend.


[Bro, our friend Hasan wants a wedding. On coming don't bro? The Bandung ]


[Can, when? ]


My friend immediately gave me the date and where we will meet I went to Bandung. The departing members are me, Zul, and Rendra. The plan is, I'll go to Rendra's place first.


The wedding took place on Saturday. Therefore, I went to Rendra's contract on Friday. Finished the office, I immediately packed for preparation to Bandung.


Surely I carry a backpack in which there are clothes, towels, and toiletries. Although it seems that in the apartment has also been provided. It wouldn't hurt to take her in case. Although a bit tired also to the contract used to continue to leave. But it's a bit funny also if you go to the office instead of carrying a laptop instead of carrying clothes and toiletries.


Going to Rendra's place is pretty easy. I took an angkot to Serpong station, then I got off at Palmerah Station. Then take the angkot again to the rented alley Rendra is located.


After that, just walk to his place. The rented guard is not too tight, I can freely go up to the 4th floor where I live. But if we go there by motorbike, have to pay an extra fee for parking. This is not the case for me who used my feet to come here.


Surprisingly, nginep in his place does not need to pay for guest fees. Either that's true or we hide hiding doing it. There shouldn't be any problems staying for a few nights. If the passengers are a month, there may be problems.


After climbing the stairs, I knocked on the door that was most likely Rendra's room, because I had forgotten to remember also the exact position of the door where. The 4th floor alone had more than 20 room doors, it was natural that I could not remember where the exact position of Rendra's room was.


*tok tock*


"Assalamu'alaikum, Rendra, are you inside?"


"Open Ray, the door's not in the lock."


I went inside and saw Rendra playing a game on the laptop. Not to lose, I also play games on mobile. Until nightfall, we played until we were sleepy. Surely I had dinner before Rendra's. Until bed time, we spent talking and playing together.


Just like the new year, I slept with a carpet and used my bag as a pillow. There is no fun indeed sleeping hitchhiking like this. Hopefully later it will not be too late to wake up, because the train that leaves for Bandung schedule in the morning after dawn. Fortunately, I was able to fall asleep quickly after my eyes started to close


*cryrrrrion*


This alarm has shown at 3am. We've measured the travel time from Rendra boarding to the station. Then calculate also the time to wait for the driver online. If without careful calculation, we are worried that we might be late to the train.


After waking up, we immediately took a shower and ordered a driver to our place. As expected, several times we get a rejection because it is indeed this hour not many drivers receive passengers.


Fortunately, we managed to get the driver and made it to the station on time. On the road, as usual, drivers talk about many things. More or less the theme is the same.


I don't know if I've been a driver for a long time, helping people get hurt, etc. Maybe as a matter of chat or there is a hidden intention of the driver. After arriving at the station, we went straight to the mosque to perform dawn prayers.


We did not do it together for fear of being late on the train. After the prayer, Zul returned late as usual. He said he prayed together at the mosque, even he prayed in his own contract. Indeed sometimes this child of his nonsense is less to hold.


Zul was from there. It's hard to change it. Instead of a long storm, I chose to find breakfast first before boarding the train. Being chased by time, I just bought onigiri and drank it as breakfast. The thing I definitely bought when I met, onigiri. For some reason in Tangerang and my hometown, no one sells this ultimate snack.


Onigiri is a rice cake in which has been filled by side dishes in accordance with the taste. I usually order tuna mayo. With a triangular shape, this onigiri is easy to eat anytime and anywhere. If you want to be full, I myself have to buy 2 because if one is not at all felt in the stomach.


Then we headed to the platform where the train was. Even though it is still morning. Many will also go to Bandung by train. But because it is still a bit dark, I do not know for sure what kind of people who ride this train.


"The train to Bandung has arrived on the platform.Passengers who will board the train can immediately prepare to board the train. Pay attention to your luggage, not to be left behind or exchanged. "


Before boarding the train, Zul was also surprised because we brought backpacks. Me and Rendra could only laugh a little because this was the only bag we had. We do not have a special bag for traveling. After all, I don't think it's strange to carry a backpack on the go.


Maybe Zul meant to highlight the bag he was carrying. He was carrying a bag similar to a postman. So it has a wide space by carrying it unlike a backpack. More towards the shawl bag. Maybe this topic he made his goal in order to be able to show off the bag he was carrying.


After the train arrived, we went straight up according to the carriages on our tickets. Then me and Rendra sat next to each other. Zul is separated from us, but he sits down with a beautiful woman. We could only look at each other and just laugh at the luck that Zul had.


The train we were riding was quite comfortable. I don't know what kind of train this is. But the facilities are pretty good and complete. There's a table and stuff. The place is clean too. Different from the regular train. Indeed from the price is quite expensive, but if comfortable like this is not papa. Compared to taking the bus, I prefer to go to Bandung with a train like this.


Usually if I go with my family to Bandung, we use a private car. The experience of using a train to Bandung is one of the things that interest me. Because this is the first time I've been traveling by train without my family or my parents. What are we going to do on this trip?
