#UpToYouIndonesia

Bab Tak Berjudul 1

            I stay at home. I don't know when this shit will end. Ohhh, quarantine got me like crazy! My activities are very limited. I hope this will end really soon.

Beside missing my friends, I mostly missing my lovely Millie. My sweety Millie, I want a real kiss on your rosy cheek right now, not virtual kiss! Hug you through my home!

I open my laptop. Write a page of my mind in my blog. Beside throw out my mind, I hope my article will open people's mind about the importance of keep staying at home.

Kriiinggg.... My cellphone is ringing. There's a call from my minister of Strategic Studies and Actions in faculty student organization. For your information, I'm a staff of Strategic Studies and Actions in my faculty. And yeah, William is The Minister.

"Hello, William."

"Hello, Pablo! Are you free today?"

"How rhetoric you are! This is the end of the week. Absolutely I'm free."

"Good. I have a plan, how about make a podcast?"

"Sounds great! Do five of them know about your plan?"

"I have informed Sabrina, Rebecca, and Thomas. And of course they were agree."

"Nice! So now you have to inform Edward and George."

"Absolutely, I will."

"Okay, just text me if you have further information."

"Okay."

I continue my article in my blog. I end my article with closing statement, "I know you are really bored at home, including me. But I hope you all to be patient in no longer time. It's only temporary, not forever, if you are aware."

When I open WhatsApp, as I expected William suddenly texts at the group,

"Guys, soon I will send my audio in this group. Everyone must continue my audio in your own language. Our podcast is titled '#UpToYouIndonesia'."

"Ay ay, captain!", me, Sabrina, Rebecca, Thomas, Edward, and George reply him togetherly.

"3 months we lock ourselves at our home. And also, our fate is hanged on the indecision. We hope this will end, but the fact shows differently.", William opens the podcast in his audio.

"Everyone please continue me soon!", he adds.

"Me, please, as Vice Minister.", Sabrina replies.

"Everybody just like punish us who do the right and refrain our desire to meet our beloved people.", she continues William in her audio.

"What is you want, my fellow? In this dangerous situation you still gather widely? Poor of the medical personnels!, Rebecca replies.

"He said, back to hometown is forbidden. But why the airport still crowded? By only 60 thousand rupiahs license get a ticket? Shame on you!", Thomas continues.

"We hope stay at home in 3 months, sleeping all day long, bored awfully, and the death of a thousand people have a good result.", I add.

"What about quarantine in a thousand years if you are still selfish?", Edward continues.

"We are not anything, so we must follow what you want. Go ahead, my fellow!", George adds.

"So, now let's say '#UpToYouIndonesia' one by one!", William asks us.

"Okay, let's go!"

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", I say first.

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", Sabrina says.

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", Edward says.

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", Thomas says.

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", William says.

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", George says.

"#UpToYouIndonesia!", Rebecca says.

"OK, and the last one of you must close this podcast by a closing statement or a quote!", William asks again.

"I know this is really hard. But it's only temporary, not forever, if you are aware. If you are still selfish, this will be forever and after. And just wait for your death.", I close by ironic statement.

"Good, you are really nice! Thanks all for your critical opinion! It's quite simple, but I hope it will open people heart and mind.", William appreciates us.

"I hope so.", Sabrina replies.

"Maybe this will be viral, hahaha.", I joke.

"Amin, hahaha. So, let me edit your audio into one and upload on Spotify, may I?", Thomas asks voluntarily.

"Thank you, Thomas! Of course, you may! We will wait for our podcast in Spotify!", William accepts him joyfully.

"OK, I will do it soon.", Thomas closes.

Thomas is really fast. In only two hours, he texts us that he already uploaded the podcast on Spotify!

"Guys, let's hear your voice on Spotify! It's titled "PODKAST #UPTOYOUINDONESIA!"

"Cool! I will post on The Faculty Student Organization's Instagram in order to all of the students will listen to our voice.", William adds.

"Nice, William!", I comment him.
