It was Sunday. Bright and sunny. We had decided the night before that we were going to the zoo in Jalan Taman Sari. He said he wanted to go there to visit his relatives (hahaha... like monkeys, gorillas, etc) before going back to Jakarta. I thought it was not a bad idea either so OK lah... we went there straightly from my house. From my house which is bit far away from the center of Bandung, it takes 1 hour drive. Well, actually it was not really my house. I lived in a so-called 'guardian family'. They were not my real family but I had lived with them from 2009. My real family is in Bogor. OK. enough of that. Later will tell a complete story about my family.
Unexpectedly, the traffic was so ugly and the zoo was full of visitors. We had to park a bit far from the zoo and had to walk under the hot weather. Honestly, I didn't use to go out much because I had to work from morning to evening so being directly under the sun was quite surprising and uncomfortable for me. But, my heart was full of love at that time because only last night we both got engaged so my feelings were more to happy than anything.
So, there we were, reached the zoo entrance gate. Full of people were queuing. Many sellers were there also. Like.. some sold peanuts that can be given to animals inside. We also queued, and bought two tickets for both of us. Well, as a host, I wasn't really a good one. I had never gone there before. Only passed it several times when I had to deliver things from the shop I worked. So, I had no idea where to start, which animals were where, etc. But we decided OK la we just roamed and followed the direction.
We took some pictures there. Many pictures. Here are some of them.
The most memorable thing for me about going to the zoo that time is that it was our first time holding hands. At first, we were bit shy because it was a public place, right? But somehow finally we were getting more comfortable.
At that time, going out at daylight with a fiancee was like something that is never gonna happen in my life. Thus, all the time I was in the zoo I kept on asking myself: "Are these things I'm feeling real? Is he really my fiancee? I'm not dreaming, am I?" I held his hands, there were real with flesh and blood. I talked to him, he answered me so he was not only in my imagination. He was really there... <3
We were roaming around for hours when suddenly we realized it was almost 2 pm. Time for having lunch. Well, I was bit worried that my gastric pain would come again like last night in Dago Highland so I asked him to have lunch then we can go around after that.
To be honest, I didn't feel like eating inside the zoo. I mean, zoo stinks bit right? "Just ignore it." I said to myself. We went to the food court nearby and ordered Sundanese food (fried chicken, fried tofu, vegetables n sambal)
We also ordered a bottle of mineral water for both of us. We drank from the same bottle. OMG, even simpe thing like that was so sweet for me. hahaha... *blushed*
When we were eating - as I expected - I got pain in my stomach (again) because I had my lunch bit late, so I said to him that we would go straightly to the shop I worked (I worked half day that day) after we had our lunch. He said OK, it was not problem for him. So we ate bit hurriedly, paid the bill and got back to my car.
Since we parked the car bit far from the zoo, we had to walk to reach the car while I was having pain in my stomach. To make things worse, the sun was shining too brightly that I felt like almost fainting. He looked worried seeing me and holding me while we were walking. Once we got into the car, I took my medicine and seemed to sleep for half an hour, unaware of his presence.
When I had felt better, I opened my eyes, he was still there, looking at me - worriedly. I said sorry to him for making him worried and bothering him but he said he wasn't bothered at all and he was really worried about me. He asked me to check to a doctor about this stomachache but I said I was used to it. Just need to control my eating time. That's all. But he insisted. Seeing how he really cared about me then I said yes dear I would go to a doctor to check it :)
So, finally we went to the shop which means he had to leave to Jakarta also. I was so sad because everything was happening so fast. I still wanted him to be here beside me. Still wanted to hold his hands... Still wanted to talk with him... hear his jokes and stories... My God... he has become a part of me... I am deeply in love with this guy... He is the most amazing guy that I've ever met. He knows how to treat me and make me feel special. OMG, words are just not enough to describe what I feel about him...
It was 5 pm, he was about to leave. It was really hard for me. But we had promise right? Until my master graduation, not even a year... I can finally be with him forever, I said to myself. He said goodbye to me, and I gave him a kiss in his cheek. We both were instantly surprised and shy. But deep inside we knew, we were happy.
