A letter from Aug 22, 2022

Dear Natasha, Hari ini hari Senin. Aku menyadari betapa beruntungnya aku dalam banyak hal. Pertama bahwa aku memilih proyek Impact ini. Kollege nya baik, ramah, dan pekerjaannya pun tidak terlalu membuatku stress. Lalu tepat pada hari ini, seminggu yang lalu aku masi berada di Bologna, Italia. Sekitar pukul 15 sore aku bertemu dengan Andrew dan 5 temannya di airport. Saat itu tiga dari mereka, Andrew, Darryl, Joshua, dan aku ketinggalan pesawat. At the time I couldn't believe what I heard. Just like all of them, that was the first time that happen to me, that I missed a flight. I cannot believe that because we have been waiting for hours, since the flight has been delayed for around 2 hours. That was crazy and intense. We ended up taking the bus for extra 130 Euros. Which was a lot. I was quite stressed at the time. But now that I think of it.. I kinda grateful for that. My first ever flight miss was with some Indonesian strangers I just met in the airport. How could that be more interesting than that?! The three of them were very polite and well mannered. Especially that Darryl. He was such a gentleman. He asked again and again about my opinion regarding my connection to Passau if we pick this and that transportation, alsoo.. as we got out the first bus in Florence, it was raining and he covered me with his umbrella for a long time while I was looking for my umbrella. That was very nice of him. Andrew was always a gentleman ever since we met in Bavarian forest last year. He is very nice and caring. Joshua at first glance looked indifferent, like he cared for nothing. But on our last bus he was nice enough to accompany me to the toilette during the bus stop, and the way he speak to me was also nice. Overall they were very caring.. which is interesting. Are they always that nice to stranger? Maybe since I am not a nice person, I found that quite refreshing. Then there is this talk about asking Gum and Mom to come to Europe on March 2023. It started on the bus from Bologna to Firenze. I called Gum and I somehow told them to come here before I go back to Indo for good. What I want most is to let them live what I have always feel in here. Taste Europe. Last night we called and it seems like a good news that even Matts might come as well. Eventhough that will cost a lot, but well first money doesn't bother me anymore, second I know it will somehow work out beautifully as everything has ever happen to me. Yes, my dear world, again, I can't thank you enough for everything you ever gave me. All that was so beautiful. Even the missed flight is also beautiful now that I think of it. I got to know them better and learned some new interesting facts about people and you. For all the beautiful things there were and will be, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart, RNH, Passau, 22.8.22, 09:38
