The End of Last Year

That was a great year end for me. A friend of mine, (just called him “A”) gave me “his” photo in the middle of our chatter at small store and wanted to introduced us (me and the guy in the pic) each other. It was a warm smile, cute face and…. funny nose. Yeah, for me his nose is funny. But there weren’t a bit feeling, since I knew he was from another country. Singapore.

Yeah, there’s something about Singapore for me. But I’ll share it later.

Time passed by and I forgot about him (the guy in the pic), cause I event didn’t know his name. Mr. A didn’t give me the name, just his photo. Until one day, there were a WhatsApp chat in my phone.

“Hi Alicia!”

The number started with +65 which means from Singapore. But as long as I remember, I forgot to reply that WhatsApp.

Once, I posted a photo of my bloody finger on my facebook, and again there were a WhatsApp in my phone from the same number said:

“How are you?”

I replied that message with:

“Hi Mr. C I’m okay ^^”

I thought that were my friend from Singapore called Mr. C whom worried about my bloody finger (hahaha). So I replied that message with overconfident and say Mr. C’s name. But you know what? That weren’t Mr. C !!!! He was the funny nose with warm smile, O MY GOD !!!!! (thumping while write this part) *kyaaaa*

Misunderstanding has been cleared and started from that day we WhatsApp very often. Started in the morning until one of us went to bed *lol. That was nice. We chat, laughed, discussed, and promised to meet someday. For a couple of day, this activity was went smoothly and we really wanted to meet each other since he was in Indonesia to manage some business. A bit hard to met him because he were in (aishhhh I forgot the name, Jakarta somewhere) and he often went somewhere, somewhere and somewhere and somewhere with his family here. I told him that we could meet in the middle of Jakarta, ex: we meet at one of the mall. But he refused it because he didn’t want me to went somewhere by myself. Too dangerous. (that was nice, right? ^^) But on the other hand, he couldn’t pick me up here because he couldn’t drive -.-“ He calmed me with this:

“Don’t worry I can ask my brother to drive me there”

During the time, we finally made decision to meet. One day after he finished his work in Jakarta somewhere.

“I finish my work first and then we can have our date.

Movie and dinner.”

Date?? DATE?????

It was my first chat with guy that mentioned about “date”. Truly date with “d-a-t-e”. You will know what I mean after read the whole post. I captured the conversation but unfortunately the memory card broken so I had nothing L

Nov, the day

From the early morning I’ve been very adnmksfkjsehtkuhskdfnckjdnzfuse (absurd). What a messy heart >.< Cause my thought already at Jakarta somewhere to meet him. Finally at 13.30 I called taxi and started my journey to meet him *excited* The first destination was my akoh (thaiku) house in West Jakarta, its only took +- 1 hour from my house. But you know what? There were a demo at (ishhh idk the place, around DPU office) at my taxi got stuck.  To killed time I WhatsApp with him, told him that I’m on my way to met him. At that time, he was in Sukabumi with his father and (maybe) his “kukuh” and they were headed back to Jakarta. We were curious to know each other location so we sent the pic of the street. I was one step ahead in front of him when I was at point C he were still at point B. The traffic got worse and I started to worried about the argo. In short, when I arrived at akoh’s house I had to pay 3x more than the regular cost. But idc, the most important thing was I would meet him tonight ^^ *cheer*

Around 5 PM (maybe) he called me for the 1^st time. I was so nervous and tried my best to understand his chatter. He said that we would have movie and dinner as he mentioned before and he already bought the ticket. As long as I remember he said the movie was start around 7. Once again, he surprised me. He talked in bahasa!! His voice (otp) was so gentle. Made me more curious about him, although I’ve seen his photo.

Around 7 he asked me to wait him in front of my akoh house so he could find me easily. And, *thumped* a blue taxi came, the windows was open and a gentle voice:

“Alicia?”

Me: (a bit doubt to replied, but finally…) “Yes”

Then a guy with gray T-shirt open the taxi’s door, came toward me and…… argh I forgot what happened next but I remembered that I totally nervous and I just said:

“A minute, I’ll go get my bag”.

Akoh followed me came to the gate and said something to him in Hakka. The point was “don’t stay out till too late”. I’m a bit happy at that moment since my akoh tried to have a chat with him. And then we got into the taxi and headed to the mall. You knew, he opened the door for me like a gentleman. A simple thing but caused big effect for girl. It such a good start for a dream date that all the girl wanted.
