Going to Surakarta

It was Thursday. The Red-9 Thursday-8 (Kamis Pahing 17). At 03.00 Nuri woke me up for having early breakfast. Our breakfast was rice, sour vegetable soup, tofu and tempe. Before dawn I received a short message that Engkus Kuswara Setianegara passed away last night. Kuswara was my subordinate during my service in Surakarta. I came to the office at 07.55. I became the inspector at the roll call. Only Mr Hidayat joined this session. In the office I gave the paying tax report to Riyanto. He would passed it to the Financial Division. At 09.00 I went back home to put the original documents for the report. Then I went to Surakarta with Sonhaji. I arrived at Kuswara's house at 12.00. I met many old time coworkers. I gave my condolence to his wife. At 13.00 the corpse was brought to the cemetery. I accompanied by Edy Liestanto went to Windu Jenar Market to see Masrin Hadi. Windu Jenar was a new market that was constructed from the old Pon Market. Masrin has a counter to sell antique stuff. It was a cozy place. I met Masrin and delivered an ITB75 directory book. I and Edy then when to Jaya Abadi store to buy fruit cake. We left Surakarta at about 14.30. We stopped at Pandawa Mosque, Salatiga to do ashr prayer. We stopped again at an PFU, Srondol for fueling. At 17.00 I arrived at home. In the evening I was at home.
