Going to Garut

It is Tuesday. The Loving Tuesday (Anggara Kasih 11). I woke up at 3:00 and performed voluntary prayer. After dawn praying I prepared myself for going to Garut. It was a trip suggested by Endianto. Today I would join several former secondary schoolmates in Bandung then go to Garut together.

At 5:50 I left home for Tawang Station. Nuri accompanied and dropped me there. Printing the bording pass was going smooth. At the checking gate a train company officer served me to connect me to the face recognition system. I entered the waiting hall by passing face recognition gate.

At 6:45 the Ciremei Coaches was available on lane 1. I was on board at 6:49. It was cold, so I put my jumper on. The train departed at 7:15, it was on time.

The train stopped at many stations, they were Poncol, Weleri, Pekalongan, Pemalang, Tegal, Brebes, Cirebon, Jatibarang, Cikampek, Purwakarta, and Cimahi. At Cikampek the train stopped for more than 30minute. It was too long since at other stations it stopped not more than 5minute. At 14:49 the train arrived at Bandung Station.

I got off and went to toilet for urinating and defecating in the south hall. After praying I went out. I waited for other participants on Jalan Stasiun Timur. It was roofed above north side walked. At 15:16 they came using Luxio Daihatsu and I got on the car. Risna, Kanti, Susimastuti, Henni, Tri Heryanto, and Endianto along with the driver were inside. We directly went to Garut.

We traced local road then entered the toll road. We exited the road in Cileunyi. We stopped at Masjid al Masoem, Cihanjuang Cimanggung, Sumedang Regency and some of us paid their praying. We continued going to Garut by tracing national road till Nagrek then provincial road to Garut. At 17:53 we arrived at Hotel Aleyra on Jalan Pembangunan 159 Jayawaras Tarogong Kidul where we would be overnight. Jejet Satrijati was there welcoming us.

After checking in process we put our stuff in the rooms. Kanti and Risna were in room 7, while Henni and Susimastuti were in room 8. They were on the ground floor. I, Endianto, and Tri Heryanto on the first floor room 9.

Without showering we went out for dining. Jejet led us to Sugema Restaurant on Jalan Suherman, Tarogong Tarogong Kidul. The restaurant offered various Sundanese dishes. I just took a fish dish and rice. I tasted it. An hour later we went to Jejet house on Jalan Ciledug Kota Kulon Garut Kota behind Bank Muamalat to drop her. We then went back to the hotel.
