The Day I Met You ~A New Home, A New Family~

The morning sun was still hiding behind the clouds. Not too many people who already doing their activity on the streets. A taxi stopped in front of the terraced house just down the road. A woman carrying two large suitcases get off from the taxi. Immediately cold winter winds greet Mia’s face. She rubbed her hands, trying to relieve the stinging cold. She stared at the house in front of her. The house was painted cream with dark brown roof. In the side yard of the house, there is a small gazebo surrounded by flowers that have not bloomed. Mia walked toward the front door. She has not had time to ring the bell, the door is already open. Suddenly a woman who is still wearing a pajamas hug her petite body.

“Mia! Finally you arrived. I've been waiting the whole time.”

A smile tugged at Mia’s lips.

“Yes. I am seeking the address first. So it’s a bit late.”

The woman whose name Ana is looking behind Mia.

“Is that all your baggage? Here I help you carry.”

“Thanks.”

Ana take one of the suitcases which is behind Mia.

“Your room is on the second floor next to my room.”

Mia followed Ana to the second floor.

“Yesterday when you said you was looking for a place to stay around here, the person who stay in your room happen to move out. So I immediately call you.”

“Yes, quite by chance. I was already searching for a place to stay around here. Because it closer from here to my office. Well, by the way how many people who lives here?”

“There are four people. But the other one is yet to come. Possibly she is arriving this afternoon.”

Ana opened the door that is in the end.

“Well, this is your room.”

The room isn’t too big. The floor is made of wood with bright yellow wallpaper. There is a single bed at the end of the room and a small table lamp beside it. Also, there is a dresser with mirror. In the middle of the room, there’s a red carpet that covered the wooden floor. Right in front of the bed there is a window that leads to the side garden. The gazebo can be seen clearly from there.

“So, what do you think?” Ask Ana with a smile spreading across her lips.

“Good. For the cost of rent is quite cheap, this room is quite nice and comfortable for me.” Mia smiled back.

“Well, my room is right next to your room." She pointed to the next door. “The room that in front of your room is ...”

Before Ana could finish her words, the door is open. A short red-haired girl rub her eyes that still look sleepy.

“Hi, Liz. Staying up late again last night?”

“Yes. I want to finish reading a book about flowers that I bought just yesterday.”

“Really, you like flower so much huh? Oh yeah, let me introduce you. This is Mia Anderson. She is my friend in college that I was telling you about yesterday.”

“Oh, hi. I'm Elizabeth Madden. Just call me Liz. Nice to meet you.” Liz reached out her hand which is immediately greeted by Mia.

“Mia Anderson. Nice to meet you too.”

“Ah, I should be getting ready. My boss told me to come because today there are a lot of flower orders to be delivered. We talk again later okay?”

“Yes. If so I would take care of my stuff first. See you later.”

“I'll help you Mia!”

Ana followed Mia goes to her room. Mia open one of suitcase and pull out all its contents. She put her clothes and make up in her dresser. Ana also helped Mia organize her stuff. It didn’t take long for both of them to spruce up the stuff.

“Finally we’re finished.”

“Yes. Thanks for helping me.” She lay down on the bed while Ana walked over to the window.

“Hey, you have seen the gazebo in the side yard, right? Surely you also definitely see flowers planted around the gazebo. Now it’s not bloom yet, but when spring comes they look beautiful. Liz is always taking care of the flowers.”

“The flowers were planted by Liz?” Mia wake up and sit in bed.

“Yes. She has been like flowers since high school. Now she works at a flower shop.”

“Well ... no wonder she stays up late just for reading a book about flowers.”

“Yes. Ah, by the way my stomach already feels hungry. You want to come down? I want to make something to fill my stomach.”

“No, thank you. I’ll stay in the room.”

“Alright then. I’ll put leftover for you later.”

Ana goes out and close the door. Mia lays down again on the bed. Without realized, she is asleep. When she wake up, it’s already 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

“Ah, seems like I fell asleep long enough.”

She immediately get out of bed and tidy up her messy brown hair. After that she went downstairs. It turns out Liz was home from work and is sitting on a white sofa in the living room.

“Oh hi Mia. Are you awake? Do you want hot chocolate too? "Ana’s voice heard from the kitchen.

“That would be nice.” Mia replied with a smile.

She come and sit beside Liz. Not long after that, Ana come out of the kitchen carrying three cups of hot chocolate and share it with Mia and Liz. The three of them gathered in the living room while enjoying their hot chocolate. Cold air in December making that warm drinks taste better.

“Oh by the way, when will the other residents come”" Liz sipping her hot chocolate.

“You mean Sherry? This morning she called me and told me she would come this afternoon. Maybe she will arrive soon.”

“I heard she is the daughter of one of the richest person in London. Why would she even want to stay here huh? Wouldn’t it better staying at her home that like a palace?”

Ana shrugged her shoulder. “Well, everyone have their own stories.”

“My dad is one of the wealthiest in London. But I don’t want to get too dependent on him. So I decided to get out of the house so that I could be more independent.” An unfamiliar voice answered from behind them.

Simultaneously Mia, Ana and Liz turned to the sources of the sound. In front of the door, stand a pale white beautiful girl. She is wearing a knee-length red coat and carrying a huge suitcase. Her blond hair is tied into a ponytail. Her clear blue eyes looked at the three of them with friendly.

“Oh, sorry. The front door isn’t locked. So I just came in.”

“You must be Sherry Clymer?" Ana stood up from the couch and went to Sherry.

The pretty girl smiled and replied “Yes. Just call me Sherry. Nice to meet you.”

“My name is Ana. I’m the one who is answering your call this morning. That short red-haired girl in there is Liz. We've lived here for two years. The brown-haired girl over there is Mia. She also recently moved in this morning.”

“Nice to meet you.” Mia and Liz speak in unison.

“Well, now all the residents are complete. Maybe we should hold a welcoming party for Mia and Sherry.” Ana clapped her hands with vigor.

“Not a bad idea! We have to hold it tomorrow night. What do you think Mia​​, Sherry?”

“Not a problem for me. I had no schedule tomorrow night.”

“What about you Mia? You can right?”All staring Mia hopefully.

“Hmm... I don’t know. I don’t know tomorrow I will be late or not.”

“Oh... come on. Just one day. Once in a while you also need to have fun Mia." Ana put her hands in waist.

“Okay okay. I will try to leave early tomorrow.” Mia gives up. She knows her friend isn’t going to be satisfied until she hears that words from Mia.

"Okay. It fixes. We will be partying until morning!”

“Hey hey Ana, remember you also have to work the next day right. We couldn’t we partied till morning.” Liz is scolding her.

“That's only a metaphor. Liz you’re too serious.” Ana stuck out her tongue.

“Okay okay, enough you two. You better show Sherry her room, Na.” Mia tried to mediate both of them.

“All right. Come follow me. Your room is in front of my room on the second floor.”

And that is the beginning of the four of them living under one roof.

The Day I Met You ~ Prologue ~

When I first met him, I never thought I'd fall in love with him. Physically, he wasn't my ideal type of guy. He just reminds me of my childhood friend. His face is similar to my friend's face. Just that. But somehow I became interested in him.

We are so different. He is easy going and jaunty. The people around him loved him. Slowly but surely, he will approach people around him one by one so he could understand the character of each individual. That way, he could bring himself how to behave towards each person. Opposite to him, I was quiet and shy type. I didn't talk much with other people. I used to make a wall with the people around me so they difficult to approach me. That's how people thought about me. Even so, I can be very open and outspoken when I close to someone. Only my best friends who know my true self.

With our different character, I don't wish to be close to him. But day by day I'm going through together with him in work made me want to get close to him. Unconsciously, he began to attract my attention. Whatever he was doing. Whatever he was saying. Anyone who interacts with him. Expression on his face when he laughs, smiles, having fun, serious, angry. I always watched  him silently. I didn't know since when my heart pounding so fast every time I saw him. And that feelings continue to grow before I could stop it.

Just Another Story

There are a lot of things happened today. It really made me dizzy! My chairmate, Q and one of my classmates, let's call him Y, were fighting. All because of misunderstanding. They had fought for nearly two weeks. I said that if she really wanted to make up with him. ntuk menjauh darinya.">But she is more decided to stay away from him. It is because Q actually liked Y. Whereas she knew that Y already has a girl he liked. That is why S feel heartbroken and jealous with the girl. But rather the anger directed at him.

The day before yesterday, Y talked to me privately.He told me many things. He expressed all his feelings to me.It turned out he really wanted to mend fences with Q. But he was afraid, he feared that his presence was just annoying Q. That is why all this time he always ignored Q.He planned to reconcile with her in the near future and he needs my help (he said that if he could, he'd love to hate me, but could not because I was the only person who can help). He said he wanted to collect some evidence first. Q has changed a lot since they were fighting. This troubling Y. Since they never communicate again, Y can only monitor her from the virtual world.He then knew that Q have one new blog address. He tried to find out the address. He asked me about the address. I said that I could not tell him. Too many secrets in the blog. Luckily he did not force me.


Until this day, he finally told me that he already knew. He has read all the contents of these blogs. He felt all his feelings were mixed up. Me who was being interrogated by him could only pretend to calm down. In the end he asked for my advice. He gave 3 choices; waiting for the right time to apologize to Q, talk to her today or he must declare his feelings on the Q. He felt the third option is not possible. Because he himself was not sure what his feelings on the Q.I suggest to talk to her today. The faster he talked, the more quickly the problem is solved.


Finally they both speak privately with me as a witness. I don't know if they've made up or not. I can only hope the best for both of them.

Yearbook Photos

Yesterday, the exact day of the week on December 13, 2009, me and my classmates went to TMII (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah) for yearbook photos (Buku Tahunan). Many exciting things happened.

Early in the morning, I came to school. We promised to meet at school at half past seven in the morning. I thought I was late and I was the last to come. But I was wrong. When arrived at school, I was actually the first person who come. And it was at half past five minutes past seven! I was really surprised. Moreover, the school gates closed. I finally tried to wait for them to come in front of the gate. Not long later, one of my friends called E come. I'm really grateful. I immediately approached. I chatted briefly with her. A few minutes later, my cahirmate came. She opened the gate, which was not locked! The three of us sat on a bench in front of the security station. We talked about what we would wear at the yearbook photo later. After waiting for almost half an hour, some of our friends began to arrive. I was already dressed, got into the mosque. Some girls who had come, got into the mosque too. We were all dressed up in there.

About eight-thirty, we all piled into the car. Initially, I and Q will go by Ri's car. But because there were many boys who have not found the car, finally me and Q moved into G's car. We decided to enter the highway. Without realizing it, we missed the exit to the TMII. Car we drove up the highway Jagorawi. Finally we came out in Cimanggis and turn back to the TMII. About half an hour later, we arrived at TMII and rushed to the garden of jasmine. When we came, the photographer had not arrived. So we still have time to make up our faces and looked around the garden of jasmine. My friend, Po, trying to find another place to shoot because the place we choose now not in accordance with our theme, summer. After surveying a variety of places around there, we decided to move the location to the flower garden. We gather with our own group.

I was one group with R, U, F and Ri. The five of us walked around to find a good place. After discussion and debate, we decided to take pictures at a place near the fountain. Initially five of us took a picture together. Then the photographer took pictures of our own. After everyone had their pictures taken, we gathered again. We headed to the middle of the flower garden and took a picture together on the stairs. Girls make two lines, one standing on the first rung, and the second row, which included all the girls who wearing the veil, standing on the third rung. The boys also makes two lines, which stood on the stairs to the fifth and seventh.

After we were satisfied, we were all into the car park. We feel tired and hungry. We plan to eat at Tamini. But not so. We finally returned to Bekasi. Because we still feel hungry, we finally stopped at the "Restoran Bebek Goreng" and ordered food. About half-past four o'clock, me, G, N, U, W and Pu must go home first. So we said goodbye to the others. W and U out of the car at the intersection, while I was down in front of the hospital. After that I took a motorcycle taxi to the house.

Huft ... even though I felt very tired, but it is one of my memories of high school. And I was really happy. At the last moment before the exam graduation, I want a lot of memories with my classmates. I hope I still have time before I was too late.
I think this is the end of my story today. no one knows. Wait for my other stories okay !!
