We've been waiting for months to get extra time for ourselves, especially Kirana. She's the one with lots of to-do-lists in her journal. I had been in Bandung for two weeks when she called and said that she could get her leave. At that time, i felt like i wanted to... aahhh i couldn't find a word.
I had so much plan and places to go. We decided to meet in Bandung, 2 hours from Jakarta by Cipularang Highway and 3 hours by train. Kirana came to Bandung by train though there were many transportation alternatives to Bandung which was more comfortable.
I also took the train, but i didn't care about price, it was all about experience. I could always enjoy the developed-country vibe during the trip, and being feed with beautiful view. Interesting isn't it?
I borrowed my uncle motorcycle to picked her up at Bandung Central Station. Parahyangan train had just arrived when i got there. It didn't take long to find her. Woman with big cat-eyed-glasses, colorful dress, and large suitcase. But I didn't expect to see her holding a calculator in her hand!
She waved and smiled. I grabbed her suitcase, and we walked to parking lot. OH NO! I'd just realized that it would be very difficult to bring big suitcase with motorcycle. I saw Kirana standing in front of my motorcycle. I put her suitcase between motorcycle seat and handlebar, but it didn't work out. So i went around station to find a piece of board and ropes. I tied the board to my motorcycle seat by ropes, so now we have longer seat to put her suitcase. Then i tied the suitcase to the extended board. Now we had enough space for me and Kirana, plus her suitcase. We were ready!
