Are you sure uncle?

On Last Saturday afternoon(the exact day was on Saturday before Easter), I was in boring condition. I had nothing to do. I just stayed in my room, played game in my computer, and listened to my mp3 player. Those activities still made me feel boring. Unfortunately, my mom and dad went to do their own business. I just stayed with my grandmother and my grandfather at home. Suddenly my 2 uncles and also their wives came to my house with their children. They wanted to spend week-end in Jogjakarta. After they took a break for awhile, they asked me to go with them to Malioboro. I was so happy when they asked me to go with them.

When we arrived at Malioboro, we decided to park our car in Inna Garuda Hotel and walked around Malioboro by feet. Suddenly, my youngest cousin cried because he wanted to walk around in Malioboro by andong. Because he always cried and cried, we decided to walk around in Malioboro by andong. We rented an andong and the price to rent an andong was about 50.000,00 rupiahs. With 50.000 rupiahs we could walk around in Malioboro by andong, including walked around in Sultan Palace's Area. At the beginning, my uncle who would pay for the Andong didn't agree with the price because it was too expensive, but because his child always cried, he finally agreed with the price.

When we got on the andong, one of my uncles decided to take a picture first before the andong walked. My aunts,my cousins, the other one of my uncles, and I (total 6 people) were in Andong first and my uncle took picture of us. After taking the picture, my uncle got on the andong. When he got on the andong, I asked him, "Uncle, are you sure to get on this Andong?". My uncle replied,"I'm sure,why?". I couldn't say anything when my uncle got on the andong. I just felt afraid. Why did I feel afraid? Hmm, just let you know friends, my uncle has weight more than 100 kilograms. Imagine! We were 7 people, and we got on the same andong. I'm 86 kilograms and my uncle is more than 100 kilograms.This situation got "worse", when I found that the andong's driver was so skinny. That was really made me felt afraid. I was so afraid if the andong would fall down and all of us would get injured.

During the trip, I just prayed and looked at people around our andong. I could see people's expression when they was looking at us. We were 7 people with 2 overweight people in the same andong. They were looked so amazed when they were looking at us. Moreover, some of them were laughed at us. They made me felt so ashamed too. The thing that made me felt so astonished was my uncles,my aunts, and also my cousins were looked so happy and they really enjoyed the trip. Only me who was looked so afraid.

I began to feel relax and enjoyed the trip when our andong walked around in Sultan Palace's area. Why could I feel so relax when our andong was walking around in this area? As you know, as long as I lived in Jogja, I never visited Sultan Palace's area, so when our andong came to this area I was happy because I could see what does Sultan's Palace look like and that was so interesting. Even though I began to feel relax, I still felt afraid if our andong passed unpaved road. I was afraid if suddenly the andong fell down. Fortunately, it didn't happen.

Finally, our andong came back to Malioboro safely. We were still alive after taking trip by the andong. After we arrived and got off from the andong, my uncle said this to me, "So Maris, We are still alive, aren't they? Hahahaha , how countrified (wong ndeso) you are !" After he said to me like that, I just smiled without said anything. I felt so ashamed after he said like that.

Hmmm, even though our trip by andong was so breathtaking, it was still fun, wasn't it? I'm still alive and I've decided to include this moment into my unforgettable experience's lists. Hahahaha, Have fun!
