When I Travel Alone in Aceh

Information Exchange

We took a long rest at Aklaya's house while also waiting for the rain stopped. I sat between Agam and Khatami. They spoke Acehnese and what I did were smiling and playing around with Aklaya. We took selfie and he liked it.

Meanwhile, my hand kept trying to find signal so I could send them a picture. I asked Khatami if he used applications that I used and we exchanged our accounts. I, then, showed Aklaya and Khatami the pictures I took at the waterfall. They love the shots, they said.

Then we had Q&A section at that evening. He asked me why I went alone and what's my next plan. Then, I asked him about cities he visited and what it looks like. He asked me the same questions. I asked him which city he likes most and when I looked at my watch, the conversation had been kept going for hours. We got along pretty well and easily because we put the same interest to things we like, travel. We also argued a little bit.

It was 7 and Agam initiated to returned to the hotel before it was getting late. We, then, said goodbye to Aklaya, our cute little man. I begged them to let me join them because I lost my battery's phone. We arrived at the city around 7.45 and on the T junction, they suddenly stopped. I asked them what happened. As i was getting used to, they started speaking their language and Khatami asked if i wanted to have a dinner. I said yes immediately.

We had nice meals at one stall in the city. I starved so I had another food. Then they laughed at me. I grinned, "That was what I'm talking about! You'll regret if you kidnapped me."

They wanted to go Karaoke that night but I was very disgusted by myself so I told them that I couldn't join and they had to keep going on. I don't know if it was because of me or not, they decided to returned to the hotel though I said that I already knew the way back to the hotel from that place.

They already decided to returned and turns out, their hotel was close to mine. Just apart by two houses! Very strange.

After cleaning up, I finally had a chance to sent them their pictures. But..... the conversation kept going. (Is smile emoji proper to be put here?)

Khatami asked my plan for the day after. I said that I would rest on the beach behind my hotel. I had pretty nice room with beach view and it was so amazing. I wondered how it felt like to swim in that beach.

He said that his friend and himself would go to hot spring water and he asked me to join him. I explained that I have been planned this since first time I arrived. Then, he said he would join me. I told him that he shouldn't let me destroy their plan. He insisted that he would join me. So, okay. There, then next chapter after this.
