Which Way Should We Go?

The strory began when i was at elementary school. It was my 3rd year. Everyday, my dad took me to the school, but someone who picked me up isnt my father, its my aunt, her name is Utami. I often call her Bule Ut. She is my father's sister, and she is the last daughter of my grandfather. She has a son, his name is Dayat, everyone also often called him Emin or Shaolin. Its because he has a bald head when he was a baby. Me and Dayat is a best partner when we were at elementary school. We spend a lot of time playing as a children. After school, we often went to our uncle's house, not far from our school and waiting Bule Ut for picked us up.

But, that day we decided to not go to our uncle's house. It was boring wating pickup, so we decided to go home with walking 6 KM away. We were still 8 years old and we didnt know the direction. So, I decided to take shortest rute, even when we were lost, we can ask for the direction to the poeple around us. We started walking, it was 12.00 o'clock noon. Its fun, we were talking about everything in the way. Not far from school, someone called us, i recognized he was an uncle who work in our school as cleaning service. He take something in his pocket and then give 1000 rupiah to each of us. I still dont get what his purpose to do this, but we thanked and started walk again.

In the middle of way we were thirst. So we stop at a store beside the road to buy drink. Luckly we have 1000 rupiah which given by the CS, we buy okky jelly drink. We start walking again, its still 5 KM away from our house. We walk to the way which we feel the sortest way. We never tried this way before. It was surrounded by many house. The road was a rock. After walking some time, we recognize that two of us dont know about the direction, we lost! we were confuse, which direction we should to go?

After walking and walking, we couldnt find anybody, the villange was too quite. We keep walking until someone called us and ask us were we lost. She is an aunty who called us and gave us information the right direction. We thanked to her and start to walking again. Shortly after that, we lost again, but this time we saw a man, we asked for direction. That man give us the direction. Its already 12.30 and we still on the way back to home. meanwhile, Bule Ut were searching us because we were not at our uncle's house. Finally we got out and found highway. From this point I could lead the way back to home.

After walking 15 minutes, finally we arrived at home. In home Bule Ut and My Mom had been waiting and asked us why we decided to go home by walk. My Mom and Bule Ut cooked us some food. I was very tired, walking over 6 KM at 8 years old. Total of the time we were walking was about 45 minutes. After this, we often to back home by walking. And in the sixth year of elementary school we stop doing this because we had a bike :D. It was the best journey which make me feel confidence for asking something if I dont know. And start from this, I brievly go anywhere anytime
