Unexpected Journey #1

"Great things always come when I stepped outside my comfort zone."

At 10 P.M. on 8th April 2014, I went home with the tired body and weary mind. After had a bath, I threw myself into my bed and soon, I came back into the realm of my unconscious mind. I did not know what happened inside of me, I, however, was sure it was a blast that woke me up. I glanced at the clock hanging on my wall; it was 2 A.M in the morning. I tried to sleep again, but I just could not. Anyway, that was me, I could neither sleep in the evening, nor could I wake up in the morning. Such a strange!

That day, I thought of everything, every happiness and sadness that had formed me to what I am. I was listening of the ticking sound of my clock when suddenly something happened, I did not know what it was. There was a huge urge from my conscious mind to just go away from my house. At that very time –around 4 A.M. —I took my bag and started packing up. I did not know where I was going; like a branch in the middle of the river stream, I just followed where the fate of the great river took me.

It was 6 o'clock in the morning when I realized that I was no longer in my comfort zone. I was in Jakarta!

I did not know for sure where my body took me. Shortly after got down from the shuttle, I took a commuter train. I got on to the first train and sat; it was rather strange and uncomfortable in that compartment but I could not explain it, all the eyes seemed to rain me with thousands presuppositions. 

I saw a woman with a uniform come after me. She looked into my eyes and then crouched, "excuse me, this is a women's compartment", she said.

With a frowning face, I responded, "I beg your pardon?"

"This is the compartment for women, men are not allowed. You can move back through that door", she pointed a door which connected the compartments.

And then I walked to that door. Such a shame!

I was at Gambir station at 7 o'clock in the morning. 

There, my story begins
