Traveling from Solo to Jakarta I took by bus. Rico and I were alone, because I forced him. While Mr. Erwin who managed to get a scholarship like me and Rico prefer to go on a plane.
To continue education in taking a study program in the tourism department needs a big struggle. Tired, that's how I feel right now. This was my first experience traveling far away.
I who have never traveled this far must feel the name of suffering from motion sickness. So it's definitely Rico who I'm bothering because he's sitting in a chair with me. Plus every time I spit out my stomach contents along with her grumbling self.
"Nisa! Know that was just getting on the plane," he said, but with his hands still moving massaging my nape. While I am still busy holding vomit marks on plastic bags.
I who usually argue with him now can only resign to the circumstances. Arguing is impossible because my strength is almost over. I who already felt a little good now lean my back on the seat of the chair.
Sitting quietly holding my stomach in a state of torment in public transportation like this makes me as if I do not want to ride the bus tomorrow again.
My tears are seeping. In the heart make a prayer so that the length of the journey taken is soon to the destination.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that. Just sprained the same you who stubbornly took the bus. Be ginikan! Only two hours walk you have run amok," said Rico stretched out a tissue to me.
I'm shaking. "My money is not enough to get on the plane" I said to receive a tissue from him and wipe some of my face that has been confirmed to look so chaotic.
Rico rubbed his face rough. "It's a good thing that you're still meandering" he chirped, which made me unable to smile.
"But thank you very much for not being amused to have a friend like me in this condition" said I who patted his arm.
Rico was also in style like a vomiting person. "Asli is not amused anymore but disgusted" he said, which made me pinch him.
"Your work!" sahutku.
Rico laughed out loud. "But how, has it been a bit light?"
"Yes pretty good. My stomach is not like that."
"Must be?" sahutku looked at him.
Rico immediately shook my head. "Eh dodol, if you are easy to drink like gini yes must take anti-nausea medication!" spray berating me.
"Where do I know. Traveling far for the first time" I said trying to defend myself.
Rico clucking. "But did you have breakfast? It's still nine hours' drive away."
I who was nodding now look at him horror. "Is that how long we're going to arrive?" I just can't believe it.
"Yes" he said with emphasis. "And to overcome so that drunkenness does not strike you again, I suggest drinking this," he continued to offer me a bottle of soft drinks.
I still don't understand according to receiving it. And then Rico said, "Let's fart and burp."
I punched his arm too. "Such a science from where do you try?" I said but by still obeying Rico open the bottle cap and then drink it vertical. And sure enough, after I took a few gulps, I was able to burp and make my stomach now feel a little relieved.
When I looked at Rico, I saw him face-to-face and close his eyes. But even so he again said, "If it's a bit better, close your eyes and then sleep for a moment."
I smiled and nodded in response, then turned my eyes out the window. Looked all the way through. Then I sighed with a thought that began to wander.
The journey of life is not all smooth, but when humans try to start let it be difficult surely the difficulty will also be passed.
And I am so grateful that in every time I face my difficulties, God still gives help through the hands of His trust.
