LAST KISS

Hostel and Bumble

Arrived at Bali! See you tomorrow, I'm heading to my hostel around airport. All hotels are fully booked, so wish me luck with this hostel. - Send to Lexy. 

Well, the plans has changed. I was supposed to go to Bali with my two other friends. Planned to share a room with one of them, and stay here for a month. But, something came up, Clare cancelled last minute after i booked the plane tickets. So, here i am alone with my bags. In other hand, Lexy and her husband flied here a week ago and rent a villa around Canggu and are settled. 

It's after Christmas, people are here from around the world enjoying their holidays with their loves one. So many couples, family with their kids running around the airport, and it's hot as fck in Bali. I checked my phone looking at the time and the weather. It's one thirty pm local time, and freaking thirty three degrees outside! I decided to book a taxi since I'm too tired after the long flight. My taxi arrived and just after I sit down, I had a message from Lexy.

Hey Ayla! How's the flight? Btw, any plans for tomorrow? I'm thinking of having an end year dinner for the three of us. If you're in, I'll make a reservation at Biku Restaurant around seven? - From Lexy.

Seven sounds good, see you tomorrow Lex! - Send to Lexy.

It was a short taxi ride, probably around ten minutes and i arrived at the hostel. Since it's the first long holiday after the pandemic, all of the hotels and hostels are fully booked. The only place that i can booked is in this Hostel called Beach Hut Hostel at Kuta. Walking to the reception, there's a big common space with lots of bean bags, lazy chairs, and even a billiard next to it. I was greeted by the receptionist and did my check in. 

"Okay, Ayla, your room is in Sand room, let me help you with your bags since we don't have any elevator here." said the receptionist guy. 

"Sure, so will i be having a roommates?", I know that i'll be sharing with other girls since i booked a shared girls room. But not knowing who are my soon to be roommates. 

"Yes, we are fully booked too until after new year, you'll be staying with five other girls tonight. But i think you can still choose which bed you gonna sleep. Still have option before the others check in." Said the guy that now i know his name is Farrel. 

We walked to my room and yes i still can choose which bed I'll be sleeping in. There's six bunk bed, I prefer sleeping at the lower bed and there's one left just right Infront of the door. I thanks Farrel for helping me with my bags and he went back down. There are two other girls that are sleeping right now. Their bed curtains are closed and i can hear small breathing from behind their curtains. Not wanting to disturb them, i tried my best to not make a loud noise unpacking some of my clothes and toiletries. 

It feels so good and refreshing after a long hot shower. I went back to my bed and saw one of my roommates awake. We said hi and talk for a while when somebody knocks on the door before opening it and i saw Farrel with three other girls. Looks like all the bed are full now. They introduced their self and it's my turn, "Hi, I'm Ayla, it's nice to meet you guys. I'm Indonesian, and from Jakarta. If you do know where that is. No offend but sometimes they only know Bali." 

"Yes I know Jakarta, we had a long lay over there before our flight to Bali." Said the blonde girl.

After introducing ourself, i lie down on my bed and start scrolling thru Instagram searching what's new around Bali. Bali does have lots of new café and places to go to eat. But, most of it is around Seminyak or Canggu, which is up to one hour drive to go there. The traffic are so bad right now on peak season. Bored with Instagram, i opened Bumble. It's a dating app which i already join for the last three years after breaking up with my ex.
