" Setiap pertemuan ada setiap hikmah"Announcement:
Dua buah nama dipajang dengan berlatar logo assosiasiku. Aku tersenyum. Alhamdulillah. Semoga tahun ini tahunku. Thailand. Sangat excited ketika aku tahu aku lulus untuk menjadi Official Delegate assosiasiku. Bagaimana tidak? Just for your information, I have never gone abroad before. My first gig was Thailand! So I prepared, I raised fund, and I prayed: Hope this time, I could make it, not failed just one year before. Being abroad, traveling around the world is my passion. To meet foreign people, learn their culture, taste the cuisine is a thing that I would die for *edisi lebay. Intinya: Gosh, Cant believe I ll be heading to other country, holding pasport. Haha. Sound so country girl, huh?
Departure:
It was chaos. The name card I ordered couldnt be taken in time. So I wasted my time in Bandung just to take those cards with zero result. It was 12 pm. whereas I had to be in Jakarta in 5 pm. Had a flight in 7 pm. How if there is heavy traffic jam during Cipularang toll? How if, couldnt get fund just because dont bring the card with the sponsor logo on it with me? I was so stressed, depressed, and sick. Seriously sick so that my brother worried about me. I felt, this was a bad beginning to travel, I defenselessly give that to Allah. I didnt think Thailand would be exciting anymore. I was so afraid that time: I was so weak, and the journey start chaotically. And there he was, my guardian angel: protect me from whatever come to me, said that everything was gonna be okay, no need to worry, put your smile on your face, let me handle all these things for you. My tears were about to pour. Finally, I reached the travel on time. We reached in jakarta at 4 pm. We were all three. My brother, my uncle, and me. I didnt want to bother my parents to take me to airport on that time. I departed with Air Asia from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur. He watched as my plane flew away, and my uncle said he cried.
Kuala Lumpur:
We reached KL on 10 pm. So hungry because I just ate snack for fast breaking. I didnt prepare anything for fast breaking, all I think was the preparations for Thailand, sponsors, T-Shirt, and student exchange program. I had allergic cough, flu, and I was so weak, I felt my body squeezed. So, four of us bought dinner in Mc. Donalds. We were full and we chatted, plus we spent a night there since we had to catch up another plane at 11.45 am. Okay, 12 hours in Mc.D. We chatted about boys: cute guys, boyfriend, and there we saw another Indonesian delegates from other university. I didnt know them of course. My senior did. She talked to one of them in Mc.D. Yeah, she talked to the tall guy, wore short and only T-Shirt. First glancing: he seemed to be smart, warm because he was so nice talking to my senior, neat even if in his cozy style, he was a bit charming. My senior introduced us. And we shook hand, I even forgot his name because I hated him already.
it was him.
i smiled and mentioned my name cheerfully as I did usual when I interact with someone new. He mentioned his name, he just smiled me back unsincerelly as if someone forced him to smile. Okay, the fact was he grinned instead of
At the morning, we were waiting for the plane. And I just met him several times. we didnt talk each other, and I didnt care.
Air Asia plane to Hat Yai.
I saw him. He put his bag in the rack. And I was sitting 2 or one row behind him. I saw him. of course. He is unnormally tall. He talked with delegation from ITB warmly, but he acted calmly and arrogantly. I rolled my eyes again and talked to my self: Does he think every single person or girl would ve fallen for him just because he is charming? Oh, thats a big no. I will not. Please, I have met thousands cute guys, with excellent skill to die for, and adorable personality. And I ignored him, and took picture of my self with my digicam.
Landed in Hat Yai. He took back his bag. And I raised from my seat. We smiled awkwardly. I didnt care. I was excited because already in Thailand.
Bus from JB to Hat Yai Hotel:
Luckily I got a very nice and funny friend beside me. We talked a lot about everything, thailand, the road that was like the road in sumatra. We took picture. And I was a bit ignoring the fact that the guy I hated, sat in front of me. But still, I was curious. I seemed to know him before, but where? He was so familiar to me. But who? Then I remembered, he looked like an actor Syahrul Gunawan. here is the fact about me. I am easily match similiarity someone's face with another one, even if other people say they dont look similar. I wanted to prove my instinct.
" Kang, cowok yang didepan itu mirip syahrul gunawan ga sih?"
"Oh, dia? masa sih?"
"Eh, ---- , kata dia kamu mirip syahrul gunawan"
what is his answer?
"iya kok, banyak yang bilang gitu," he smiled to him charmingly and still calmly (at least that was according to him) because for me: seriously, I am not your fan so stop acting like you are my idol. I was a bit suspicious on that time, did he think I like him? Gosh, I really hated a guy that thought every single girl in this world would ve fallen for him. You know? I guess, this was first thing that I hated about him: He thought he was great, charming, and good looking.
I didnt talk to him. He talked with another delegation from other university. in fact, he was from Sumatra. and I didnt care who he was.
Thailand. I already hated a guy. Not hated actually, but not really respect him.
