The next tourist spot to visit is Lawang Sewu. Lawang Sewu is a Dutch heritage historic building located in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia.
In Javanese, Lawang Sewu means a thousand doors. But that does not mean that this building actually has a thousand doors. Lawang Sewu has only 429 doors. This building has many large windows that when viewed from afar will look like a door. That is the reason why many people call it Lawang Sewu.
This building used to function as the office of Nederlands-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij or NIS. Lawang Sewu was built in 1904 and completed in 1907. This building is located in the Young Monument roundabout which was once called Wilhelminaplein.
At the roundabout of Tugu Muda seen a girl sitting around the fountain. In contrast to the visitors who look happy and take happy photos here, the girl actually looks moody. The sad girl was Nirmala.
Nirmala was still thinking about the incident that put her in the middle of trouble. On one hand, she thought about Anah's feelings and on the other she also thought about Chika's feelings.
Nirmala thinks Chika is Kevin's lover, if Chika hears the news that is popular, Chika will be very angry with him. In addition, there is also Jeff's sister Chika who will consider Nirmala as her brother's lover's usurper. Even worse if Jeff considers Kevin as a land crocodile. Kevin is a very nice person and never plays with women's feelings.
"How is this," Nirmala sat pensively as she continued to think.
"What should I do?" Nirmala looked very confused and dizzy thinking about the problem.
In the midst of the confusion that befell Nirmala, Anah just looks like he does not care. He still enjoys his tour and keeps getting close to Jeff. While Jeff who always felt uncomfortable if Anah approached continued to pay attention to Nirmala from afar.
In Jeff's heart sometimes terbesit want to meet Nirmala and ask directly about his words yesterday. But on the other hand, his always-honored nature did not want to drop his pride just for the sake of silly questions.
His curiosity was still unable to knock down his arrogant nature. His mind raged between curiosity and maintaining self-esteem. According to him, if he were to ask directly to Nirmala, it would drop his pride.
His gaze continued on Nirmala without changing any direction. But his gaze broke when someone approached Nirmala. Tirta, the one who always felt himself the most could understand what Nirmala was feeling.
"May I sit here?" ask Tirta.
"Tirta," Nirmala looked up a little and saw Tirta standing before her.
"To eat simalakama fruit, right?"
Nirmala silence.
"I know Kevin's not your girlfriend, am I right?" Tirta felt like the most understanding person.
Hearing Tirta's words, Nirmala seemed to see a bright light. Although not necessarily the problem will be solved, at least there are people who understand the problem at this time.
"You just don't want to hurt your best friend, troublesome friend." Tirta continued her words, her gaze heading towards Anah who was not too far away from her.
Anah is now seen trying to get close to Jeff but Jeff always avoids him. Nirmala's best friend who Jeff thinks is very troublesome. But for Nirmala, Anah was her best friend.
"Look at that, the friend you've always been proud of, how troublesome, he's still chasing after a man who's completely unwilling to see him." Jeff continued to look and point towards Anah.
"If you're only here to insult Anah, go, or I'll go" said Nirmala.
"Hmm .. That's the problem" said Tirta
Tirta tried to follow the steps of Nirmala who began to leave. Walking from the young monument towards Lawang Sewu. Up the highway, Nirmala looked to the right and left to cross the highway. Tirta continued to follow him.
"Still craving?" Tirta mocked Nirmala.
"I am not a child, it is not necessary to talk about it" said Nirmala.
Mask ... Mask ... Mask ....
"Sister, sis's mask," A little boy offered Nirmala a mask.
"How much?" Ask Nirmala.
"How many masks are there?" Ask Tirta.
"There are 15 feet, the price is ten thousand" said the mask seller.
"Make the big brother all yes the mask, brother pay off." Tirta gave a hundred thousand two pieces of money.
"Pake the money right now, the change is not there," said the mask seller who looks like he is still 10 years old.
"Take the change of deck, "Said Tirta.
Thanks brother. The mask seller went and passed.
"You bought a lot" said Nirmala.
"Yes .. alms count," Tirta was a benevolent and generous smile.
Tirta just smiled. He told Nirmala to turn around, intending to put on the mask she had just bought. Nirmala who could not be separated from the look of Jeef's eyes was seen wearing a mask by Tirta. Jeff gets jealous when Tirta tries to tie the mask, but Nirmala takes over the mask and ties it to herself.
"Let me wear it myself" Nirmala grabbed her mask and tied it to herself.
From a distance Jeff kept watching them. Tirta also wears the mask, now they both wear masks. Nirmala wears a purple mask while the mask that Tirta wears is black.
"I feel like a masked tuxedo," Tirta praised herself.
"Let me see" Nirmala asked Tirta to turn to her.
"It's not at all similar" Nirmala continued.
Tirta laughs.
"Norone ...." Tirta gave a surprise.
"Well ... Buy where?" ask Nirmala.
"The seller is gone" said Tirta
"But you don't have to worry, I bought it for you anyway, it's take." Tirta gave a pink sweet gulali arum to Nirmala.
Nirmala accepted it with pleasure and thanks. They seemed happy to enjoy the trip this time. Anah suddenly comes accompanied by Jeff and Bharata.
"Jeff, please tie this mask up dong," Pinta Anah told Jeff.
Anah unceremoniously seizes a mask that is in Tirta's grasp and hands it to Jeff. Jeff didn't flinch at all.
"This one is completely ignorant of manners, and is always troublesome to others, in stark contrast to Nirmala," Gerrutu Tirta.
Despite grumbling, Tirta still spread a smile to Anah.
"Just use it yourself" said Jeff as he looked at Nirmala who was engrossed in sweet arum gulali.
"Here I wear it" Bharata grabbed Anah's mask.
"Don't touch my mask." Anah glared towards Bharata.
"I can use it myself." Anah wears the mask herself in a state of annoyance.
"Do you like meatballs?" Ask Nirmala.
"I love it" answered Anah quickly.
"Based on the maid's son, his tastes are low," Jeff muttered.
Tirta who heard Jeff's words, immediately chimed in.
"If you don't like it, don't come." Tirta said right in Jeff's ear as he walked away.
Bharata, Anah and Nirmala had already entered the meatball stall on the side of the road. Bharata ordered three bowls, Anah and Nirmala were still silent yet to order anything. They thought Bharata ordered three bowls including for them as well. Bharata had a message for himself.
"Good, Bharata." Anah shocked.
"You're really." Anah continued his words again.
"Anah let it go, we order it ourselves" said Nirmala.
Not long after, Jeff and Tirta got into the meatball stall as well. Anah who saw the presence of Jeff immediately moved his seat and sat right next to Jeff. Tirta took advantage of the moment to sit next to Nirmala.
"Let me order" said Tirta.
"Well, you're wearing noodles, right?" ask Tirta.
"No need, just kosongan," replied Anah.
"Nirmala?"
"I want to use noodles, lots of vegetables" said Nirmala.
"Jeff, I'm doing good today. You want to use no noodles" Tirta asked Jeff.
"Yes, I'm going to use noodles" Jeff replied.
"OK,"
"Bang ...," Tirta called his meatballs.
"Four meatballs, one vegetable is a lot and another does not use .. "not finished Tirta spoke suddenly Anah cut off the conversation.
"Tirta, Tirta, I use noodles too, just like Jeff." With a spoiled smile.
"Yes, bang ... 4 Bowls with all noodles, a special bowl of lots of vegetables." while looking at Nirmala with a smile that always decorate her face.
Tirta did not forget to take a mineral drink, he opened the bottle for Nirmala and Anah.
"Well, this is your drink I have opened," Tirta said to Anah as he gave the drink.
"Jeff, you open it yourself." Tirta.
"Not to be so considerate" Jeff said
Jeff is not grateful but angry. Meatball sellers come with orders, they enjoy eating together at roadside stalls.
"I added yes" Bharata told the meatball seller.
"Gosh Bharata, you don't feel your stomach is like a pregnant woman" Anah scoffed.
Bharata just kept silent no matter what Anah said. Tirta and Jeff shake their heads. While Nirmala focused on the meatballs she ate.
