Here I am, alone, in Gambir Station. I have been waiting for my friend. He told me that he would be here for 20 minutes. But, it has been a half hour, and he has not come yet. I turn around my eyes, watching people around me. The woman who is standing in front of me, looking at her watch, seems like waiting someone, same as me. Two girls are passing through that woman in a rush. I think they are chasing the train.
Huh! It is boring. For the whole day, I have been waiting for many times and many reasons.
The train that took me to Jakarta from Bandung this morning has delayed for half an hour. And I had waited for more 3 hours for the meeting. Mr.Djamhari Sirat as a leader came late this afternoon. And now…… here I am, sitting in the chair, waiting for someone.
Oh God! I have been wasting my time….
At a glace I remember of Kevin, my English course teacher. He asked the class to write an essay. I open my bag, and pull out my organizer. It’s better for me to write the essay.
Ok! Let’s start! What will I write….
We are 15 people in the Class.
There is Sita, the talk active person. For several time we had discuss, I know that she had plan her weeding party, such as what kind of food, place of reception, place of honeymoon, and so on. But …. Look at me! I am 6 years older than her, and I haven’t planned my weeding yet. But actually, I enjoy talking with her. She is a nice friend.
Tina? Her English is better than me. She talks fluent in English. I want that my English is as good as her. But I should practice more. I ever had a dinner with her, Jeni, and also Sita, after finishing the Class. We went to pavement café at Dago. We eat some roast corn and hot milk. We talked a lot about life, about relationship, about the class, about men, women, etc. I learnt much form discussion.
Who am I going to talk then? Nicholas? Indra “1”? Or Christian? I don’t know them well. I seldom talk with them.
But in one of class discussion, I know that Christian is a lazy man. He always gets up late in the morning. But the positive side, he is a simple guy.
And, there is Irma, who always companies me when Tofan, indra “2”, and Hawari take me home for twice times.
Anton? What can I say about him? He is a lawyer. We often said, Anton is a lawyer not a liar.
He is honest, sincere, and down to earth. His home is in the same direction with mine. So I ever rode in his car with Tina. I learnt many things from him. It is a long discussion. We haven’t finished yet.
And there are also Echa and his brother. At the first our meet, I though that man is her boy friend. They are so close each other. I often heard his brother asked her to speak in English in outside the class. I agree with him. But some times, I found myself difficult to find the word in English. My vocabulary is poor. Every day, before sleeping, I always read essay in English, and I used the dictionary for knowing the meaning of several words. But…. I have a short memory. Maybe I am getting older. Hahaha……:D
Following an English course help me to review about the English lesson that I ever had in school.
Huh !!!!! I have written such my Yellow 1 class. But my friend hasn’t come yet. I look at the watch. It is 6.05 pm. So I have been waiting for him for 1 hour. It’s a bad day. I’m too tired to wait more. So I decided to go down stair to queue the ticket. The next train schedule will be on 6.30 pm.
Suddenly, two hands close my eyes from behind my body. I grope it to know whose hands it is. When I turn back, and surprise…… here he is.
Oh….. oh…. Kevin. I am not going to tell you what happen then.
It is such wonderful day. :)
