SUPER QUALITY TIME (Travel With My Mom to Karimun Jawa)

For a long time my mom promised to me to go vacation only two of us, because we too tired because a man. That man is my father, yeah I have a father but it feels I don’t have any father. He’s too busy to care of himself, I saw my father cheating in front of my mom when I was elementary school. That’s stupid thing I’ve ever seen. It destroyed my heart. I thought all day how my mother felt at that time. Correct, my mother is strong enough to survive her life. Plus my father’s hobby is spending a lot of money, I don’t sure what he used the money for.

Time is pass away so fast, now I am 19 years old. Which means it is 3 years after my mom gave promise. In the afternoon I chat her on iMessage, my head told me if I should go to Karimun Jawa with mom and I decided to call her to make more clearer “Mom, do you remember your promised to me to go to travel only two of us? Why you often give me a zero words?” I can heard my mom’s voice a little bit changed probably because she just realized and remembered that she has given promise since 3 years ago.

I waited my mom came to Yogyakarta 1 week, in Saturday I shocked she said probably change her mind to not to go to Karimun Jawa. My grandfather gave his assumption the weather was abnormal and that assumption it was supported  by news. Grandfather has been seen many ships sank. In fact I checked the situation or weather on BMKG website, Jepara was one of the cities in Central Java that affected by abnormal wind/not safe. But it had been 1 week ago, everything was okay. You know, that’s not easy to face to face with my grandfather, he is still traditionalist mindset, which still believe in supra natural  thing.  Traditionalist is different with conservative, conservative is more related with religious value and this kind of person is more obey to the God. But traditionalist, it doesn’t automatically the person become religious. Example of traditionalist is do not go to other city on Tuesday. And I ask to myself, are you fucking kidding me? I mean, where is the related thing between safety and a day?

Of course my mom knows very well his son’s character, the consequence is if mom changed our plan I will mad to her for sure. And I won’t chat with her every time, sometimes it takes 1 week. Not really 1 week. Probably 3 days?
My mom decided to go Yogyakarta then, she lives in Pangandaran which only has 3 choices of transportation. First, she can used her car. Or use the train, and the last choice by travel. I didn’t know why she prefer used travel, in fact it would be took more hours if compare with train or her car.

Wait, did I miss a thing I forget? Yes, I forgot to buy a ticket. Shit. It’s better I contact the travel agency in the morning and asked what is the procedure to traveling in Karimun, such as transportation, foods, guide. The rainy was very heavy and I survived with Jas Hujan I used. So there are many travel agency on nearly campus, I enforced to asked one by one to make sure the prize. My reason to did that because I’ve never been go to Karimun Jawa or go traveling by travel agency before. The first travel agency I visited was telling me the information but I can see on the way she tell me, I doubted it! Ah..let’s assume they had known everything because they are the travel agency, right? Well, finally I bought 2 tickets of transportation from Yogyakarta to Semarang, at least that was the recommendation from them. When I arrived at home, then I checked on the internet, because I was scared if there had a mistake during the traveling. Unfortunately, the schedule between we arrived in Semarang and the schedule a boat go from Semarang to Karimun Jawa weren’t sync. I had too fucked up and overthinking about the travel agency, how can they are so fucking stupid and they are not capable to handle this. I quickly called the travel agency at the 9 PM I explained it slowly, I requested to refund my money! Sure they agreed, because it wasn’t my mistake.

The good news my mom arrived in here safety, the bad news was we had been waiting in here until 4days for the schedule Yogyakarta to Jepara. And Jepara-Karimun Jawa. We don’t have any choice, so yeah. I know it was bored to waiting, but one thing I can blessed from here is I can spending time more with mom. To repaired my mood was ice cream. Haha it’s not too over, at least enough. There are many ice cream factory in Yogyakarta, but the most famous ice cream factory is Tempo Gelato. The prize is cheap comparing with Baskin Robin Ice Cream which the prize only 25k, if you bought on Basking it would be more 50k with the small size and 100k with the big one.

Thank’s God It’s Friday (TGIF) we arrived in Jepara Harbour on early morning, it’s about 3 AM my eyes still tired and changed into the red color. The previously night, we had gone by travel at 8 PM. To kept my body in good condition, I tried to find a nice place so I can sleep in there. I thought  the mosque is the nice one, we decided to came in there. We had prayed at Subuh then we slept again. The shit thing at 6 AM, someone was waking me up. How about that was a robber or how about he wanted to killed me or even my mom? I’ve been watch so many movies and read articles about the accident a traveller being robbed or killed. He actually had asked to us to get out from the mosque. Ah come on, I need more sleep, and he asked to us go get out. Okay then. But we can still used the toilet, my mom took a bath but I only cleaned up my face.

My stomach needs food, my eyes need sleep, and my soul needs to fixed.

We ordered noodle to filled up our stomach with food. Time was showed up 9 AM it meant we have to go but I had to changed the payment recipe with tickets.
