On August 25, 2014, precisely on Monday morning when I was having breakfast, suddenly the phone rang, and the caller was Apriyanto Hangga, one of Stube-HEMAT Sumba team. He asked where I was. I told him that I was in Sumba Christian Church (GKS) of Kawangu for doing a month church service.
"Ouh, what a pity!" Apriyanto Hangga said immediately.
"Is it about going to Yogyakarta, right?" I shouted spontaneously.
Apriyanto granted.
I immediately asked him the schedule, and he told me the group will depart on September 2, 2014.
"I am ready to join because my practice ends on August 31, 2014" I replied firmly.
On that day about one o'clock, I was asked to come and meet him at Stube-HEMAT Sumba's office to discuss the program to Yogyakarta. Gladly selected as participants to have exposure to Yogyakarta, I left my breakfast on the table, left the room, scream and jump. “Yes!” I shouted.
"Sister, I am glad, really glad!” I said to a friend of mine.
Finally, my dream to go to Yogyakarta comes true. Unluckily, leaving my breakfast on the table without cover, I let a cat ate my breakfast! But it is no problem at all, I was not disappointed because the most important thing is to be able to Yogyakarta. The challenge continued, I have to complete my report of the church service in few days before leaving for Yogyakarta. I wasted no time, I used every minute to type my report and for being so eager to do it, my notebook became overheated and died! As a result, all data that I typed lost.
"O my God! My fate, I failed to Yogyakarta", I thought.
But, perseverance and patience bring its fruits. I started to retype my report and submited it on time, on August 31! On September 1, 2014, with five friends of Stube-HEMAT Sumba, I went to Yogyakarta by a Awu ship/motor vessel (MV), from Waingapu to Tanjung Perak, Surabaya. This is my story, how is yours? (YUMI).
