It is rainfall that congratulate me for coming back safely.
Dramatically, I walked out from city bus. Then I quickly ran into the nearby
street canopy in order to protect my lodgings. I got there with just a little
wet in my left arm jacket as it's sacrifice. Smiling for this.
Thanking God for this, a simply planned city component that protect pedestrian from rain.
I straightly walked in to a convenience store near the junction. Right at the time I reach that place, I open it's door in sacred way. breath deeply and feel the air. It is the assortment of packed biscuits, drinks, soaps, plastic things, instant noodles, and even high quality fruits. I haven't smell these kind of things for about 2 months.
I walked around, enjoy every spirit of these smells on each corners. Somebody might throw a suspicious glare at my deed but, who cares?
This journey ends at the store bench, a cup of noodle and a cup of coffee already in front of me. I'm about to eat them all when my phone ringing. I thought it's my mom questioning where am I already. But it's not.
"Hello, Raden?"
"Hai, Ayun."
"Hmmm what's wrong? It's surprise me that you called."
"Where have you been? You looked tired and a little bit different."
“wait, you can see me? Where are you now?“
"I'm behind you" he said at the end of telephone.
I quickly turn my head around and find him there, standing in front of refrigerator about 6 meters away from me.
I smiled so bright seeing the creature that I've been familiar to, and he also smile while walking towards me.
"I need to call first so I got a confirmation that it's you." He said as he take a seat right beside me.
I smiled.
"It's been a while, Raden“
“it's been a while, Ayun"
It is him.
Raden.
My childhood friend, neighborhood friend, then my high school friend. Well, actually we're not that close kind of friend. Just somewhat friend, a random one. The last time I saw him is around 2 years ago?
ah no
it's just 3 months ago on the last Raya. He came to my home, looking for my mom. Yeah, my mom. Not me.
"Where have you been? Did you just traveled abroad, again? Looking for something to write?“ he asked while watching at my big travel bag, my backpack, my camera bag, and my travelling outfit completed by an unused masker hanging around my neck.
"Well, it's not just abroad. It's more than abroad. I feel like travelled to another world, even another age. It's a lone Island at the end of this country called Girimukti. You know that place?"
I know that I'm not that close with this friend but I don't know why I feel like I can freely talk about anything I feel to him. Always like that.
"Well, I never go there but I heard a lot from my lab friend who's been there for taking some samples. And, as I remember, they described it as a not-recommended place to go."
"Yes, it is. Exactly. Just don't go there without an urgent reason.“
And he agreed my sentence.
"Is that place the reason of the acnes on your face?"
He ask with a laugh at the end. While I'm not laughing.
“yes, these acnes is definitely the result. I need a long term facial treatment after this. Gosh, I'm very thankful that I was born here in this city. It has anything needed by human being. This convenience store for example. Or the showroom in front, cinema theatre over there, nearby international school, hardware store behind, barber shop, good road, nice public transportation, fashion center, a beautiful mosque, coffee shop, towers, and of course internet connection."
"I already thankful for it everyday, fyi. Well, what reason bring you there, anyway?"
"Wait"
I open my camera bag, and pull out my DSLR.
"Look at this. You have to be honoured for you're the first person who watch these photos. Those are the things that will be sorted on the next edition of my magz."
"Wow, you're such a pro. Fly miles away for just some shots?“
“and a bunch of stories. Every genre!“
“well done, reporter!" He smiled as looking at my shots.
"I'm so hungry I'll eat my noodles first. Do you want some?"
"No thanks, can I just taste a little drop of your coffee instead?"
"Sure."
