Departure from my saturation working in a closed room at a reputable investment office in Jakarta, I Yola Elisia has a dream to circumnavigate Indonesia. Visit the beauty of the sea, mountains, villages, forests and 1001 kinds of natural beauty of beloved country.
The clock rang at 05.00 WIB as if breaking my morning serahduhan.
"Hmmmmm ... noisy very, do not know what else people dream of a beautiful dinner with Song Joong Ki."
That's how I complained when I was forced to get up by an alarm ring. Soon I went to the bathroom so I could be fresh after bathing later. After showering, I dressed and then ate the instant porridge that has been my friend since I decided to ngekost and stay apart from my parents.
I saw the watch showed at 5:55 pm. Time to go to the office and do the boring routine again I thought.

Along the journey by train I suddenly remembered the dream of my childhood to become an adventurer who can explore the natural beauty of Indonesia but on the other hand should be very grateful to work in a multinational investment company with a decent salary let alone I have to work hard to finance my sister who is about to go to college and finance the treatment of my ailing mother.
Exactly at 07:05 pm I arrived at the office. Faster 5 minutes I think, maybe it's because I did not spend my breakfast earlier. As usual before business hours starting at 07.30 pm, I asked OB to make hot coffee that could be warm moodbooster for me.
The phone on my desk rang.
"Hello, Yola here."
There was an answer from a man on the other end of the line and it was Mr. Director.
"Yol, after lunch accompany me for a meeting with potential investors?"
Without thinking I agreed with the Director's call. But I can not believe it, is not his secretary come in so why should I be invited?
"Yol, what time is it"
Mr. Director asked me to break up my concentration.
"At 14:13, sir." I replied.
"Means fit. Approximately we arrive at 3an. You know not, if this potential investor is very important for our company. Enough you just know ya, if we again targeted investment tens of billions of them, yes about 20 M lah. "
I was stunned when Mr. Director said I was 20 M, I thought this would be the real challenges to me.
The meeting lasted about 1.5 hours and it turns out we meet with Caucasians, people from Austria turned out.
"Yol, our meeting seems to be successful. They look pleased with our presentation. "
"Ah, the father. That was not the presentation of my father, my duty only noted the important things. "
"Still you have a deep contribution."
"Hehe .. yes deh, sir. I'm sorry, I can not ask? "
"What?"
"Why yes why I was invited to meet with potential investors. Why is not Rachel the father to take? "
"Oohhh, what do you want to ask? Actually I want you to learn to occupy the position of Rachel because I see the performance of Rachel is a little less lately. If based on his admission he is still worried because he failed to get married so his plan he wanted me to be a mutation staff personnel aja usual. That's also if he accepts my decision. "
Between believe and not what I hear, it means I'm going to be a bossman secretary soon.
Arriving at kostan at half past eight at night, after taking off my shoes and putting the bag, I immediately fell on the bed. After the work routine throughout the day I am grateful to be able to arrive at kostan safely. I opened the fridge and I found instant chocolate and immediately wanted kameduh.
"Aihhh, unlucky gas again"
I opened the contents of my wallet, I found a 50 thousand bill. Suffice it to me to buy gas and buy breakfast tomorrow morning. After struggling down hundreds of stairs up to the ground floor because my kostanku is on the 4th floor I finally arrived at a store that sells gas cylinders.
"Mom, buy one gas."
Suddenly there was a voice beside me and as soon as I turned it was a cute nan cute guy standing beside me.
"Neng ... neng ... this is the gas cylinder."
The voice of the shopkeeper's mother broke my concentration.
"Oiya, ma'am. Thanks."
With great effort I lifted the gas cylinder up one by one. Suddenly the voice of the man I heard in the store was behind me.
"Sorry, can I help you?"
Suddenly I was shocked and immediately looked back and it was true nan cute handsome man who I had seen.
"Yes, please." I replied.
"I'm Abraham used to be called Abi, you?"
"Hmm .. I Yola used to be called Yola."
"Haha ... just the same name."
"All right, do not you?"
"Haha ... yes yes bener not daddy. By the way you live on what floor? "
"4."
"Thanks God, we arrived."
Unconsciously it turns out I we've arrived when it seemed a few seconds to him.
"Can you put it yourself?"
"I can."
"Okay deh I go first."
"Thank you for tiring me."
I went in and still stole a glance through the window to see the Abi down the stairs. For some reason all night I kept thinking about Abi's face. It seems he is a prince who is in the real world deh. Lebay.com I thought.
As usual on Saturday morning I jog around the complex kostan. Unexpectedly Abi was also jogging and with the rest of the energy I ran up to him.
"Abi, wait."
"Yola."
"Are you jogging too?"
"Yeah again there's a jogging time."
After about half an hour jogging while chatting I finally gave up too.
"Bi, I'm tired."
"Well, we'll buy a drink first."
"Hayu deh."
"How am I relieved?"
"I was really thirsty."
"Do I want to go to breakfast porridge?"
"Maybe if it's called mah."
"Hehehe ... ready. Come on but buy it on my subscription huh? "
"Okay."
After a bowl of porridge moved into my stomach I ventured to ask Abi.
"Bi, are you new here?"
"Not really, already about 6 months ngekost here."
"How come I've never seen you?"
"Naturally because I just came back from the east."
"East? Meaning? "
"It means East Indonesia, ordinary work problems."
"What are you doing?"
"Nature photographer. I work for one of nature magazine from US so. They sponsor my trip and give me salary par month. "
"Wow, that's sounds great. It's good to go on and on. "
"That's it, work with it."
"Where did you go yesterday?"
"Start from Bali continues to Lombok continues until the Raja Ampat Papua, had stopped also to the island of Komodo."
"Wow, sometime may be invited."
"Allow me to be ready for you."
"I'm ready now."
"Hehehe .. I like your enthusiasm. Yol, can you get your contact number? "
"Sure, here."
After the bath I heard there was a fuel notif from my handphone. It turned out that Abi invaded me. Immediately wrote I accept and shortly he ngeping and send a message. Throughout the night the cold rain was cold and we replied to each other until the message was not felt at 1 o'clock. I do not know what we talked about that long.
Monday is coming. Monday is the day I least like maybe because it's far from the weekend. As usual I prepared to go to work by train. Just a few steps past the kostan gate. Someone called me.
"Yola."
"Uh, Abi."
"Where are you going?"
"Work."
"Want me to come in?"
"With what?"
"Motorcycle. Where do you work? "
"Kebon Jeruk."
"I really want to go to Kebon Jeruk too."
"Huuu ... do not be packed."
"Bener, the representative office where I work is in Kebon Jeruk, too. You must have seen it
FoxxNetwork's office right? "
"Yeah, oh you work there?"
"Yeah, come on together."
"You can, if you can guarantee it until half past eight."
"At 7 o'clock also arrived, I know the rats way. Just calm down."
It turns out I was up until 07:02 pm at the office.
"Really 7 o'clock already?"
"It's 2 minutes but by the way thanks a lot for your help."
"Never mind. What time do you go home from? "
"About 4 o'clock if overtime at 5pm."
"Come with me again. I want to show you something. "
"May I ntar yarin ya."
"I wait for."

About half past five, Abi picked me up in front of my office.
"Where are we going, Bi?"
"There's a deh, but first let's eat yuk."
"Come on, I just do not eat either."
"What do you want to eat?"
"Which sauce tastes good?"
"Okay, I know where the good soto is."
We finally got to a photo studio in Matraman area. Abi was immediately invited me into the studio. It turns out that there are already some friends Abi profession and the familiar atmosphere was immediately obvious.
"Bi, is this a girl?" Asked one of her friends.
"No, friend." Abi replied.
"Hah, do not lie deh same us-us. We all look very close attention ngajak him around the studio.
Suddenly our faces were flushed with embarrassment.
"Yol, lu lucky to really invite Abi. He's the lucky guy I've ever met. He's really inspiring deh. "Said one of his friends named Maurel.
"What the heck, Rel. We're not going out yet. "I replied.
"Aihhh ... serious lu?"
"Yeah, it's a duarius."
Being cornered by Maurel's question, I finally tried to turn my attention to a certificate of honor displayed on the wall.
"Is this a fake certificate?"
"This is a photography award certificate from the Asian Photographers Association so."
"Who has this?"
"Abi. That's why I say so inspiring because he was the first Indonesian to get the recognition. He built this studio also from his own hard work he said he wants to create a container for young photographers of Indonesia so. "
I was speechless and unable to speak again. The abi that I know is simple has a really big idea.
"Guys, we'll go first. It's night. "
"Okay, Bi. You Titi DJ yes. "
"What is that?"
"Be careful."
"Owh, okay, sob."
Around 10 o'clock we arrived at kostan.
"Sorry, I invited you to this late hour."
"Not papa time. Btw thanks. "
"What for?"
"Pick me up, neraktir me and invite me to your studio."
"You know where that's from my studio. Feelings I never say deh? "
"From Martin, he also said if you have a lot of international achievements."
"Ah can aja tuh him. Not just a small prize. "
"What's the award of the Asia Photographer Association that's a small thing, especially since you're the first Indonesian to hit it?"
"That I consider as a bonus aja. More importantly my passion is channeled. "
Somehow I was amazed at the answer and I embraced her. Abi was surprised by my reaction.
"Sorry, sorry, I do not have any desire."
"It's okay. I'm just surprised because you're the first girl to hug me. "
I can not believe that cool guy has never been hugged by a woman. After that incident I was so unable to sleep and I hope Abi also feel the same.
At the office of one of my co-workers, Amanda told me that if I was to go to the Director, she said that there was an important matter.
"Good day sir. Dad called me "
"Oh yes. Please sit Yola. "
"What's wrong, why do you suddenly call me?"
"Do you remember last week's meeting with our potential investors?"
"Yeah, I remember meeting at The Royal Restaurant, right?"
"Yes, true. I just want to share the good news with the employees and you are the first person I love knowing. "
"What good news?"
"Mr. Michael agrees to sign the MoU with our company and yet again he agrees on the value of the contract that we propose worth 20 M. "
"Oh my God, seriously, sir?"
"Yeah, serious."
"Thank God, sir hard work father and all employees paid."
"You're right, Yol. Also on this occasion I would like to appoint you to be the company secretary. "
"Did I hear right? Did you say that would put me as a personal secretary to replace Rachel? "
"It was then. I see that Rachel's performance is improving and she's been able to divorce the work with personal affairs. "
"But, sir, sir. I do not think I'm worthy to be a corporate secretary. "
"How many years have you worked in this company?"
"5 years, sir."
"I think with the experience, loyalty and integrity that you've built up from the beginning I think you're worth it. I have told Budi, Adung and Muklis to prepare your new room. You can check now. "
"Thank you sir. For his trust. "
"Yes, you are welcome."
The news that I was appointed secretary of the company spread very quickly. Many of my colleagues who gave me congratulations but some who seemed to sneer at me because they were surprised I immediately get a promotion so quickly. I ignored their oblique opinions and were even so grateful that God bestowed on such great blessings. Immediately I called my parents and sister in the village. They sound very happy. Moreover, I really need a lot of money for the cost of my sister who will continue the school and medical expenses of my ailing mother.
Arriving at the boarding house I immediately called Abi to tell my good news. He also sounded very happy. I took the initiative to treat her to dinner to celebrate my promotion. We went to a buffet restaurant not far from kostan.
"Congratulations on the promotion."
"Yeah, I'm so happy."
"It's all thanks to your prayers and hard work. Especially if you said you were the backbone of your family, did not you? "
"Yes, Bi. But I want to say good-bye too. "
"Farewell? What does that mean? "
"I want to move out of the kostan because I got an apartment facility from the company."
The look on Abi's face that had seemed happy to turn into sadness.
"Bi, what's up?"
"That's okay, Yol. Just sad aja can not see your pretty face in the morning again. "
"The basic rag. Besides you're used to playing to my apartment. Every day can be. "
"Okay, definitely. Where's the apartment? "
"Near the office anyway. Bougenville Apartments. "
"Not far from your office means yes. If only 10 minutes walk. "
"Yep, if run only 5 minutes."
"Starting to laugh. Move when? "
"Sunday, why?"
"Can not it be that day? I can not help you. I have to go to Bogor to find a prospective client. "
"It is okay. I've asked for help from my friends. "
The first day I work in the same office with different positions. Previously the personnel staff is now the company's secretary. The more busy aja deh thought me.
After work suddenly Abi was waiting for me in front of the office gate.
"Hi, Yol. You look so different now. "
"Thanks. Who are you waiting for? "
"Wait for you. I want to treat you at that time to play your apartment. Can not you? "
"Can. Where do we eat? "
"How to eat satay Madura near your apartment"
"Okay."
After the meal we go straight to my apartment on the 9th floor. We went in and I served hot tea for him.
"Who's this photo, Yol?"
"This is my sister photo of me, Daniel. This year he went to college? "
"Oh yes? Where to go? "
"He applied to ITB so. Wanted to be an engineer he said. "
"Is this your parent?"
"Yes, mama and papa me."
"They are lucky to have children like you. It's beautiful, independent, smart and has an easy going personality. "
"Hahaha ... so embarrassed. Besides, I really do. "
"A series, I'm amazed at you."
"I also."
"Yol, I have good news with bad news. Want to hear? "
"That's it. What is that?"
"I got a contract from WWF and become their official photographer for a year."
"Wow ... amazing congrats yes, Bi. But what's the bad news? "
"Bad news is I have to follow their agenda. So I have to travel the world for a year with some photographers from other countries. "
Hearing the news, my eyes glazed at the thought of a year apart from Abi. I'm afraid we can not meet again.
"You mean you want to leave me for a year so?"
"I'm so sorry, Yol. I must be professional. This is my dream to around the world. "
"I understand but ..."
I cried sobbing dipelukannya and hugged him tight as if he did not want to move from me. That night Abi and I spent a peaceful night together. Forget our unbound status.
September 22nd is the date Abi must set out to realize the dream of his childhood. I got a dispensation to drive Abi to the airport.
"Yola, I love you so much."
"I love you so much too, Bi."
"I promise I'll come back for you and I want to come back later on we can get engaged."
"I want to, Bi. I want."
We kissed and hugged each other. As if it was our last meeting. We realize the power of our love is being tested.
A year since our "farewell". Abi sent a message via Facebook if he will get a leave of about 3 weeks and he will return to Indonesia soon. Suddenly all the confusion that had been my rasain suddenly changed into a constant gratitude. I imagine kneeling in front of me holding a ring to propose. It will be the sweetest moment ever.
2 days after that I woke up feeling happy because it was the day Abi arrived in Jakarta after a year "disappeared". As usual in the morning I turned on the TV while drinking tea. Suddenly the news channel I watched reported that the Turkish Airlines flight to Jakarta fell in the South China Sea around 3.07. Suddenly I was shocked and the tea cup I held fell and broke. Immediately lightning my smartphones and try to contact Abi and what I'm worried about happening while waiting for the phone to be lifted, the television shows the airplane's passenger manifest. I waited for a while Abi's name did not appear but in the last list the name of Abi appeared. The phone handle I was holding fell and I cried screaming even until my boarding-room neighbor came.
Rani and Winda my boarding neighbor offered to drive me to Soetta Airport to clarify the truth of the news.
Arriving at the airport, I immediately ran as fast as possible to the airport information center. There have been many families of victims who both felt the panic and sadness that deep.
Soon one of the airport officers announced the names of the victims who had been identified. And ... Abi's name was right to be one of the victims of the disaster. I can not even cry. I am angry, sad, disappointed, all mixed together. I can not imagine the man I loved so much for ever. Maybe this is my destiny to love but can not have.
