I’m back!
Okay, let me continue what I’ve started yesterday. Okay, where was I? Oh that unpredictable ending. Haha. Okay. When I arrived at station shelter, I heard the train operator announcing that the Ekonomi-AC train will arrive right after the express. And this idea came out : “It was 4.30 p.m, and there was Ekonomi-AC.” I really miss Ekonomi-AC train, you know? Ever since I returned from SG, Ekonomi-AC really reminds me of MRT, and I adore MRT so much. Moreover, I was planning to go to Pacific Place and Plangi today, before I know that I would be screwed. I wanted to buy a headset because mine had already wrecked, I wanted to watch G-Force because I was in the urgent need of LOL, and I want to meet Disney-Aladdin, that was performing @ PP. Without thinking much longer, I bought the ticket and immediately called my Mom.
“Ma, pulang jam berapa?”
“Abis maghrib paling. Kenapa?”
“Aku mau ke Pacific Place, ntar jemput dulu ya.”
“Hah? Ngapain?”
“Mau beli headset sama liat Aladdin.”
“Kamu emang dimana sekarang? Udah disana?”
“Ngga, masih di kampus nungguin kreta.”
“Mana mungkin sempet! Kamu ada2 aja, jalanan macet banget, ntar gimana buka puasanya?”
“Yaudah aku ke kantor mama dulu buka puasa di kantinnya cepet2 trus buru2 ke PP.”
“Ya terserah kamulah, udah ya, Mama banyak kerjaan---“
And she cut my phone call.
The trip to Mom’s office was quiet normal. The traffic wasn’t that bad. The 46 bus I took wasn’t took long time to collect passenger. I forgot when was the last time I took this bus, it might be when I was still in my magang-period. But what silly was, I forgot how much the fee is. Haha. Stupidity. However, 46 and P6 bus had been so loyal for me during my magang-period, how could I forget the fee? Stupidity…
So I gave Rp 5000,- to the fee-collector, and said “Jamsostek.” And she (Yes, a woman, how tough, eh?) gave me Rp 3000,- in return. Oh, I thought the fee had raised because of Lebaran. Haha. Okay, that’s kinda over thought. Then I arrived @ Mom’s office and called her again.”
“Ma, aku udah di lobby bawah, langsung ke kantin aja ya.”
“Ngapain makan di kantin? Ke kantor mama aja sekarang!”
“Hah? Kan mau buka puasa bentar lagi.”
“Ya di kantor mama aja ada makanan.”
“hah?” (Gw mikir, buka puasa di kantor nyokap? Si nyokap kan biasanya cuma punya
biskuit2an doang..”
“Kamu langsung naek aja cepetan, udah mau maghrib.”
“Oh yaudah2 bentar.”
So I doubtfully took the elevator to 12A floor, Mom’s office. And u know what were waiting for me in there? A HUGE AMOUNT OF FOOD, from a well-known catering. (Glek.) Just 3 words : Various, Delightful, Satisfying. I was shocked of contentment. I stepped into Mom’s office, sent few greetings to her friends who were questioning “Hey Seeta what are you doing here?” hahaha. And Mom’s out.
“Go get your hot tea, hurry, adzan within a minute.”
-still speechless-couldn’t answer her- I took the tea right when Adzan’s sounding. Having those spectacular break-fast was just like heaven. Started from fried rice and the gang of usual food, to dim sum, satay, laksa betawi, bakso malang, nasi bogana, pempek, what else? Oh! Coto Makassar, tongseng, siomay Bandung, lasagna, spaghetti, not to mention the dessert, ice cream and the gang, es cendol, cookies, pudding, etc…etc… [forget the name]. oh my oh my, this is just NOT ANOTHER BREAK-FASTING. Hauahauahuahuahauhahahah
Lanjut pake bahasa Indonesia ya, gw cape mikir. Haha
Oke, gw dengan semangat a la mahasiswa ga akan melewatkan satu pun kesempatan untuk makan gratis sepuasnya kaya orang gila. Gw makan dengan moto disamakan seperti saat makan di buffet : GTGT, TTTT, NMW!
= GRAB THIS, GRAB THAT! TRY THIS, TRY THAT! NO MATTER WHAT!
Sampe kenyang banget parah ga bisa jalan. Kancing clana jeans udah kebuka. Alhamdulillah ga harus sampe resleting. Abis makan gw nanya ke nyokap : You really got served like this everyday? And she just smiled. Pantesaaaan! Pantesan nyokap gw JARANG BANGET buka puasa di rumah. Gila aja, se-sentimentil2nya makna “buka puasa bersama keluarga”, tetep aja bego banget kalo nyia2in makanan kayak gini… hahhaaha. I understand, mother. I’m proud to be your beautiful daughter. [standing obvasion]
Pokonya buka puasa kemaren itu sangat2 membuat gw kekenyangan n ga kuat lagi jalan ke PP, akhirnya:
“Ma, anterin dong sampe PP, aku ga sanggup jalan sendiri kekenyangan.”
“Ah ga mau macet! Lagian ngga enak masih banyak klien, mama ga mau pulang sekarang.”
“yah trus aku ga punya headset dong, ga foto sama Aladdin dong?”
“Kan bisa abis lebaran belinya, Aladdin masih sampe tanggal 27, besok2 masih bisa. Udah kamu tunggu di ruangan mama aja dari pada bosen disini.”
Gw diem. Bener juga sih, sebenernya emang lagi ga butuh banget headset, yang lama masih bisa, cuma udah suka eror aja, tapi emang masih bisa. Trus Aladdin, tujuan gw sebenernya bukan pengen foto doang sih, tapi pengen pamer ke ade gw, “Gw foto dong! Gw foto dong! Kasian deh lo ga foto sama Aladdin.” Dan dia bakal ngiri sengiri2nya. Dan gw akan amat sangat puas melihat ke-ngiri-annya. Evilly sister, I am.
Ya jadinya gw nunggu nyokap di ruangannya, ngenet gratislah lumayan. Kira2 stengah jam kemudian, nyokap ngajak pulang. Selesailah hari gw kemaren itu. Hahaha. Udah deh.
Sayang sekali gw ga bawa kamera kemaren, padahal gw pengen foto makanan2nya tuh.
Begitulah.
That was quiet a day, huh? What do you think?
