Mission Trip - Day 1

July 2014,


Everything was start on this month. I was asked to join one of my church program that called "mission trip". On this program I need to go to Dusun Puluhan, Merapi, Magelang to help the people that lived on there. There are a lot of teens that join this trip, because of my church that built on a lot of place in Indonesia. So we are gather in Semarang, then going together to Magelang.
Actually I was be the part of Jakarta team, but I need to go to Semarang due to family matter, so I have been put together with some of Semarang team that going by Surabaya team bus.

On that bus I just feel lonely, since I do not know anyone on that bus except my Jakarta friend that put on the same situation just like me previously. I am trying to look at others, in front of me (about three / four rows from my rows) it were sat by a lot of beautiful ladies.
Honestly there is someone who do make me feel interest. But? I do really hate myself, why I am not trying to even just know her name. God knew what was my heart want, and then someone call her name from the front of bus using microphone. I remembering her name, then I put on my head to call my sister that have been join on this church longer than me to know more about that girl.

My trip was took around 3 hour using bus, then we need to take another smaller transportation to take us to the Dusun Puluhan. At the first, I though that we will use the pick up to going on that place, but we need to walk so that we can arrive on there. I bring all my goods and start to walk. I kept looking for that girl, but I could not found her.

After arrive on there, I just drop my goods and gather together into Church to have an opening ceremony. I do not why, but when I came in into that church, my eyes just immediately put on focus on one girl that use a red jumper sing in the front. I just think, "Oh, maybe she just practicing for the ceremony, but why there is a kid on this place, since as I know before, that this program was for teenage".

The ceremony was began and I join that ceremony from the beginning 'till the end of it. After that, we need to divided into some team, and I kept looking for that girl that I looked at the bus on which team. I was sad when I knew she was on team 5, whether I just been put into team 3. At that time, I saw on team 5, that there were a lot of beautiful ladies on there, I just asking to God from my heart, why I am not put on that team. I looked at my team, I do not know why, but once again my eyes just immediately put on focus on the girl (kid) that use a red jumper that I saw at the first. I am also hate the decision for the team arrangement, since I am just the one person that come from Jakarta. All of my friends from Jakarta were put into other team with their friends from Jakarta, except me.

After that, we need to queuing into one row to be prepared for a team games. I just feel really really bored and hope this will end soon, looking into team arrangement. The first game, we need to hear the committee instruction, but it need to be reversed. If they said left, we need to move our team row into right, and it works also for right, front, and back order. I just doing that game not with my whole heart. I just doing it so that this game can end faster and sleep. On this game my team were lose, and fail to follow the rules well, since we are wrong to move a lot. I just look at the front, and I do not know why my eyes keep put on focus to the red jumper girl (kid) that looks so excited at the first game, and disappointed when knew her team was lose. But I just looking at that girl and telling "Huh, a kid" on my heart.

Second game, we need to send one person as a team representative to going in front and will be tied with a tissue case with a ping-pong ball. So that person need to dance in front of us to make sure be the faster person that can pop out the ball from that tissue case. Then the girl with red Jumper say, "Koko aja yang maju" with her hand pointing at me, then I said, "Gak ah" with my head looking into other direction. Honestly I am shocked and feel a little annoyed with her words. But she is only a kid! So what should I think for it? :) Finally another girl was appointed to be our representative. I just look at her, I am sorry but she was fat, and I do put a little wish that my team will win this game. The preliminary games was begin, and then a shocked things happened, my team was won the game. I just looked and kept feel that it is just no more than luck. The semi final was begin, and I have been shocked, that my team was the winner again, and my smile was start to rise on my face. The final game was just to begin, and right now, my heart already tell that we can win this game, and it was true, my team was a winner. My eyes once again been focused on the red jumper girl and look at her smile when my team was win, but at that time, I am still not have any feeling on her, since I just do not know her name and any other thing that make me interest on her.

Third game, we need to send three people to be our team representative to get in front of the stage that already prepared with a table with five different chopstick stack. It were stacked from the little amount and the amount getting bigger until the stack five. I have been asked to be the represent for my team with two others from my team. My turn was come, I throw the first chopstick group and I passed it, it continuous until I arrived in chopstick stack number five, the red jumper girl was moved a little bit closer to me to see it clearly. I threw it and unfortunately, there are three chopstick that were thrown away. I feel a little disappointed about that although it was only a game. At that moment I am also look at the red jumper girl that I seen her disappointed face and I do not know why at that moment, I do want to come closer to her and said, "it was only a game, we can do better on the next game"

The game was over and my group won in one game and we deserve to receive some plastic bag. The committee were told us that the plastic bag maybe seem not worth it, but it would be really worth later. They also tell to us, which team that can get up early and gather their team in the church building tomorrow, will get an addition plastic bag, fifteen plastic bag.

We just gather into a team and the red jumper girl ask all of us to get up early tomorrow and get to the church as soon as possible. She just came in front of me and said, "Koko juga bangun pagi ya, bisa kan?" I just said that I cannot wake up early since I do really tired and my phone battery was almost dead, then she said, "Aku ada powerbank ko, pake aja dulu, tapi nanti jangan lupa dicharge". She also asked my phone number to call me tomorrow so that I can wake up early, since when she ask my Blackberry Pin, I do not have it. She also ask my name and introduce her name was Stevie from Batam. After that I am going into my "sleeping bunker". At this moment, I am still do not have any feeling for her.

I have just arrived in there, but then my phone was ringing, and it was a text from someone who I do not know the number. It said, "Ko michael, tar powerbankku jgn lupa d charge yo. Thankyou. Rest well :D". Then I asked who is it, and as I guess previously, it was from Stevie. I just felt so tired and do not want to wake up just for taking off the powerbank from my phone, and charge the powerbank, so I decide to only charge her powerbank and switching off my phone and tell her, then she replied, "Oke ko. Rest well, awas bsk ndak bangun hahaha aku miscall tar..".

That was my stories on the first day of mission trip. The next day will be filled with more stories about me and Stevie, and it will get more on the next days.
