By the time this guy asked her phone numberandthey started to chat on whatsapp. The name of this guy was Fauzan, a university student, who wasolder than Analies. He was in the last semester of Agrotechnology in a university. He has been graduated now.

One day, Fauzan asked Analies to watch movie together. It was their first tomet. Analies was very happy to meet him. They met in the cinema. Fauzan bought the ticket and they watched the movieentitled“The Power of Love”. That was the awkward moment for Analies because she never had a date before. During the movie they just smiled each other and took picture together after the filmwas over

By the time, they were getting closer and almost spent the night together via whatsapp. Analies always supported him to finish his study as soon as possible and so did he. They were very happy. Fauzan loved Analies’ voice so that he always asked her to sing for him. Analies did not know if Fauzan already had a girlfriend. He kept this secret because he did not want Analiesstayaway from him.

One morning, Fauzan’s mom was sick and should be treated in the hospital. He informed Analies about this and Analies said sorry to hear that. Analies tried to amuse him. Fauzan asked Analies to visit her mom. He said “my mother is in the hospital, would you please come Analies?” she refused it and said “I am sorry kak, I cannot come there is no one in my house if I go there”. Analies did not know what to do if she were there. His mom should stay there for a week.

A week later, Fauzan’s mom collapsed and should be treated in the hospital again.  that was hard for him and made him so sad. The next day Analies lost contact with him so that Analies did not know if his mom collapsed again. After two days Fauzan informed Analies about this news. Analies said sorry to hear that and amused him. Analies said that she would come to see his mom but Fauzan should pick her up. Then, in the afternoon fauzan came to Analies’ house and took her to the hospital.

On the way to the hospital they talked much and Fauzan told his sadness. Analies as a sincere girl tried to amuse him as good as she could. Without knowing the truth that he was a boy with a girlfriend. Analies started to fall in love with him. After a few minutes they arrived in the hospital.

In the hospital, there were fauzan’s parents and his father asked “who is she?” “my friend, Analies” replied Fauzan. Analies just smiled and said “hello”. Not long after that his mom awaked and greeted her. They started to talk but in the middle of the conversation the nurse came in to give the lunch. Analies helped his mom to sit and ate the lunch. Analies mumbled in her heart “what should I do? It is so uncomfortable.” Then, the visitors came. they were Fauzan’s aunt with her children. When fauzan was showering, Analies wasspeechlessand did not know what to do.

Not long after that, Fauzan’s sister, Elea, came and brought some food and asked Analies to eat with them. She was not surprised with Analies because Fauzan had told her. In the middle of the conversation, Fauzan’s mom asked “where is Heni, zan.? ”Oh please Mom, don’t mention her anymore. ” Replied Fauzan. Analies confused and mumbled in her heart “Who is she? Is she his girlfriend? Oh my god, what a stupid girl I am!”

On the way home Analieswas just quiet without saying any words. Then Fauzan explained about Heni to her. “Yes that was right, Heni was my girl but we have broken up before I met you.” said Fauzan. Analies kept quiet without replying him. Fauzan just said sorry to her for not letting her know about that. Analies arrived and left Fauzan.

A month after he said that he had broken up with Heni, Analies was blocking by Heni on instagram. The fact was they were in quarrel so that Fauzan tried to find someone new to replace her. But then, Heni apologized to him and so did he. They got back together until Fauzan finished his study. Finally Fauzan threw away all about Analies.

After that, Analies realized that she was not important to him. He just needed someone new to replace Heni for a while. Analies never contacted him anymore. She kept the memories of Fauzan by herself and regarded him as a rainbow that came with many colors then lost without any permissions.

Torajaland (South Sulawesi)

Torajaland stands out as a fascinating place for overseas adventure enthusiasts, for many reasons. There’s the unique Torajan architecture, the fact that inhabitants are former headhunters, and the tumultuous history and conflict with the  Dutch, who attempted to conquer the area, and were only able to do so by spreading Christianity. Torajaland is also famous for being a region where outstanding coffee is produced.  And finally, there is the aspect for which the Torajans are the most famous, the elaborate rituals associated with death.
Coffins and bones can be found all over Torajaland.

Torajaland is a place unlike any other, both for its unique culture and its stunning landscapes. Getting there can be a major challenge, with only two choices: flying into Sulawesi’s largest city, Makassar, and driving six hours, or chartering a private turbo prop. There was once a commercial flight between Makassar and Rantepao, but that route was canceled and hasn’t operated for a few years.

The aura of mystery surrounding this area is interesting and complex,intertwining the forces of history, religion, geography and culture. The Toraja have made their homes in the highlands of Sulawesi, and number about 650,000 in total. Many of them, or even most, are Christians, having been converted by Dutch missionaries. The Dutch arrived in the 1600’s and established what would be a long history in Indonesia – mainly through the Dutch East India Company. The Dutch, concerned with the rise of Islam, saw the animist elements of the Toraja as making them “suitable for conversion to Christianity”.

This is Traditional Torajan Houses

At first only 10 percent of the Toraja converted to Christianity, but during the Great Depression in the West during the 1930’s, Islamic believers attacked the Toraja. This is not a well-known fact. By the 1950’s , due to these attacks and persecution, masses of the Toraja had converted to Christianity. By 1965, the region was in a full-scale civil war, mainly because of the chaos of the post-colonial era and aforementioned religious conflict. All citizens of Indonesia were forced to become either Hindu, Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. Fitting in the belief system of the Toraja, in the eyes of the government, became a matter of national peace, tranquility and security.

Lake Weekuri (Sumba)

Lake Weekuri located in Kalenarogo Village, Kodi Utara District, Southwest Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Lake Weekuri is starting to be visited by tourists lately. Lake Weekuri which is bluish green is a lake that is very unique when compared to the lakes in general in Indonesia because of its salty and brackish water content. Why is it salty? Because this lake is actually a lagoon that is formed from open ocean water in the lake range. The water enters from the crevices of rocks that are in clusters of rocks around the lake. In addition to the nature of brackish water that is brought from the sea, the unique thing about this lake is that there are a number of springs which make the gradation of water color in this lake varied, there are bright blue, slightly greenish blue even some that feel warm and some are warm cold. Its uniqueness is very rarely found in other lakes in Indonesia!

On the way to Weekuri, on the left side of the road you will see a resort owned by a French citizen who manages Mandorak Beach, one of the beaches in the Kodi region. Not far from there, you will enter the Lake Weekuri area which is marked by a guard post. There are several local residents who guard the post and visitors only need to pay for the entrance ticket to be sincere to enjoy this beautiful lake.
