As one of the largest terminals in Indonesia, Purabaya terminal should not be quiet from the activities that can be said to be just that. Then weed people consisting of prospective passengers who are in a hurry, ticket brokers full of tricks, scalpers who scream nonstop, speculative copets, traveling traders who are rather uninspired. You can see different types of people with different kinds of business. Even if you are a village person who just came out, you will find yourself in a striking astonishment.
Purabaya Terminal is commonly referred to - either by mas kenek bus or conductor and also everyone anyway - as Bungurasih terminal. That is because the location of Purabaya terminal is in Bungurasih village which is included in Waru Sidoarjo sub-district. But unfortunately, it is famous as Surabaya terminal just like that.
So, once in the terminal that you all know, there came a young man who was responsible and naive, also a little stupid. Who have traveled far with a farewell that is not too regretted by the house. Bringing hope in his mind that he will change the future just by leaving his hometown. Seeing a glimpse of his unreliable figure people will think he is just a villager who should be in the village just take care of the garden. But if you look closer or very close, actually he is not too bad. Even pretty handsome, he's really very handsome. God fucking..
Unfortunately no one noticed him or even asked him, so we can't know his name yet, uh wait for someone to come closer. Apparently it is the babang ojek that conveys his concerns to our main character who looks confused and has trouble carrying goods. Babang ojek please ask her name, pliiisss.. That is the hope of the observers and readers.
Actually bang ojek is a person with a good personality who cares for bus passengers who scatter once the bus stops at the terminal. They are the kind of people who are friendly to offer services and ask the destination of the travelers. But unfortunately bang ojek is not totality in goodness because it does not ask the name of our handsome local tourist. But bang ojek is still professional and not discriminating. Although this prospective passenger looks simple even though handsome, he does not offer discounts. So what happened next can be guessed, namely the negotiation of the plot between the taxi driver who was quiet passengers since morning and the prospective passengers who unfortunately are our main characters. Then the kang ojek also had to grumble because it only got money only 75% of what it should. Unfortunately your fate kang ojek, so do not fight the main character. If you want to protest to author hehe..
As a result our little friend has arrived at the destination which seems not very far from the terminal. Apparently he already had contact here and there was an appointment before departure.
When you get out of the terminal then you will find a fork with a flyover on it, that is Waru T-junction. If you want to go to Surabaya, then take the direction to the left, which is the opposite direction to the one chosen by our amateur nomads. Looks like our favorite innocent headed south, which is the direction of Sidoarjo city. Let's follow where this village boy went.
Like the person who first left the house, this one passenger seems to upset the unnamed kang ojek because it is only a side role wkwk. Starting with the death offer about the price now coupled with many questions about things around. These villagers are really troublesome, thought kang ojek. He asked almost everything he saw, almost like a toddler being invited to the market by his mother for the first time. If only kang ojek was a native of Surabaya, he would have issued special words and suroboyoan dialect full of swear. With a lot of grunts in the heart about the misfortune experienced, kang ojek still deliver this poor passenger to the destination and hope to immediately separate as soon as possible.
Kang Ojek painfully managed to complete his task of transporting the uninformed passenger to his destination, and immediately collapsed without further ado.
The sun had slipped when our dear friend was about to cross the railway to the meeting place with his friend. After asking several times to the ice vendor, fruit traders, pulse counter guards, mbak mbak Indomaret who worked next to Alfamart , he finally could guess where the place his friend meant. It turned out to be a Padang rice stall across the train tracks. A strategic and comfortable place with sweet orange ice waiting.
Here in Waru Sidoarjo, on the side of the road connecting Surabaya Sidoarjo, precisely in front of the elite Delta Sari housing. Along the train tracks used to be a row of stalls. You will find stalls pecel lele Lamongan, rice with grilled fish, rice Padang Ampera, Madura goat satay and many others. The area is always crowded by visitors from various walks of life. Factory employees, factory employee bosses, somewhat shy aides from housing, buskers. Everyone loves to eat here and they are always willing to pay for it wkwk.
But now some places have changed since the widening of the road and the curbing of the KAI. But let it be the attention of the relevant party. Let's just observe what happens to our village friend after arriving in the city, meet his friend and adventure and what fate will befall him.
"Hay bro.." Someone's voice was startled when our handsome young man was frowning. Ahh it seems that it was his friend.
"Hello Jono is an old friend of mine." a smile immediately flashed as the two of them shook hands. " Can't I change my name?? why Jono??" jono grumbled in heart.
"Come to the stall, you must be tired of thirst and hunger, I'll treat" continued Jono. Next they go to the stall while talking about ngidul. Padang rice stalls are medium in size with a little elongated, decorated with mirrors everywhere. Our figures even think this place also sells mirror glass. But the most interesting attention is the food menu displayed in the main storefront. He barely knew their names, looking at Jono with a fleeting smile as if asking for permission, he immediately rubbed his hands vigorously. Where for Jono this evokes vigilance, it seems that treating this village person is the wrong idea. Jono is also a village man. Fuckin..!!
